It looks like­ you have a sore on your finger. A sore­ is red and puffy. It might have black or yellow stuff. This me­ans germs got in a cut. To help, kee­p it clean and dry. You may need me­dicine if it does not get be­tter. Do not pop it by yourself. Just cover it until you se­e a dermatologist.

Mere private part me bahut jada itching ho arha hai hain Maine v wash se wash karti hu lightly warm water se bhi wash krti hu aur candid b cream use kar rhi hu but vo thoda der thik lagta hain uske baad discharge ho jata hain aur itching start ho jata hain

You may have a common condition called a yeast infection. It is a common disease characterized by burning, a whitish or yellowish vaginal discharge, and also, redness around the vagina and itching. Vaginal yeast infections develop when new fungi appear on this secure bacterial turf. One drop of V wash liquid on the sanitary napkin and one drop on the private part will soothe your pain and prevent you from itching. When you temporarily mitigate the disease using V Wash and antibiotics, it does not mean it has been healed for good. Only by using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole can you get fully cured.

I am 33 years old .I am suffering from PCOD & now I am facing hair fall problem in badly .can you help me to grow new hair

Female | 33

PCOD can trigger the hormonal imbalance which in turn causes hair loss. Some signs are irregular menstruation and acne. To promote new hair growth, you can try consuming a balanced diet full of fruits and vegetables, controlling stress, and keeping a normal weight. You may talk to your doctor about possible therapies for hair growth as well.

I am Mayank who is 15 years old and at the age of 15 I have a lot of white hair and I want to cure them, please tell me some medicine or remedy

Male | 15

Finding white hair in a young person can be a surprise. It's often mainly because of genetics, stress, or unnatural deficiency of some nutrients. Don't be afraid, however, it's normal. As a preventive measure, eat a healthy balanced diet full of vitamins and minerals and manage stress. You may also opt for milder hair products and refrain from heat treatments.

Hello! I am 29-year-old female, got stung by a jellyfish on 6th September in my right leg, pain was quite severe, we went to the emergency, I got some painkillers, now I use local and oral antihistamines, but the scars are still there and sometimes there is swelling and itching. No pain anymore. What else should I do? Is local methylprednisolone a good idea? Can I go to the swimming pool and/or run?

Female | 29

Jellyfish stings are common and can leave scars, swelling, and itching even after the pain subsides. Applying antihistamine creams can help with itching and oral antihistamines are recommended for swelling. If symptoms persist, a local methylprednisolone injection may be considered. It's best to avoid swimming and running until the scars heal to prevent further irritation.

5months ago I got a scratch from a cat and I complete my vaccination by (0.3.7.28) days with TT ( .5ml) and then again few days (14) ago I got a new scratch again , and this cat was also scratch my grandmother 9months ago and she completed her vaccination, what should I do now?

Female | 21

New scratches have added to old ones recently, so it's important to watch for signs of infection like redness, swelling, or pus. Clean the wound with soap and water, and monitor it closely. If you notice any of these symptoms, see a doctor right away.
