Acute Paronychia
Got a splinter in my finger and removed it, now it’s swollen. Do I need to do anything other than soak in salt water and put a topical anti septic on it?

Laceration and 7 stitches
Does this look like it’s healing okay? I gashed it with a ceramic pot. Last photos is today’s. It’s tough because it’s right on that Bend so every time I move my ankle it stretches the skin. Do you think I should be in a boot or a splint? I’m a flight attendant. I’m wondering when I’ll be able to go back to work and if it looks infected at all today?

Burnt my hand do I need to see a Dr?
Hi,
Burnt my hand today on boiling water trying to pour a cup of tea. After 5 mins it stopped burning and turned into a cool numbing sensation. There's no swelling, but Dr Google said I need to seek medical attention right away. Is this true?
I want to fix it at home and it doesn't hurt anymore, just a slight soreness. Thanks!
