I have unresolved herpes after a week. I have been using Zovirax Duo (5% aciclovir, 1% hidrocortisone) for 5 days. The blister has disappeared, but the area is extremely dry and there is a tiny amount of red from the cracks when I clean with a wet tissue. Is this normal, and what type of moisturizer should I use?

About 4 days ago, I was awakened by a fierce pain in my elbow, which felt like I had stuck my elbow into a fire. Since then, my elbow has been swollen, hot, red, and itchy. I am 81 years old and on high blood pressure and cholesterol pills, as well as lesterzole and synthroid. I had both breasts removed due to cancer in 2018 and thyroid cancer in 2006. I also had tennis elbow in that arm and was operated on for it a long time ago. What could be causing this and what should I do?

Is it normal for small food crumbs like chips to stick in my throat if I have excess mucus in my throat? I had a modified barium swallow test last week with normal results, but when I swallow, little crumbs stay in my throat and cause it to feel like something is stuck, and when I bring up the mucus with my tongue, it has tiny crumbs in it.
