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 have a pimple on my lower side of penis, it is there from last 2 months, but from last 3 days it started paining and swelling ( white pus ). Is it normal or I need serious medication. Please help me
Male | 20
It's not normal to have a pimple on the penis for 2 months, especially if it's now painful and swollen with white pus. It might be an infection. Keep the area clean and dry. Avoid picking or squeezing it. Using water that has been warmed or a warm compress can help in soothing it. If you have a condition that doesn't get better or gets worse, it's better to see a dermatologist.

Hey, recently i had long nails, i was showering and i accidentaly ran my nail through my labias fast and it scratched them pretty bad, i couldnt see any open wounds but it was bleeding, i was cleaning it with water everytime .... after some time my labias started drying out like right now. Theyre flaking and my labias are swollen and itchy , I started putting creams but i dont know if its working, i went to take a shower again, i cleaned my whole vagina untill i put one finger in my vagina and i scooped some white thick seperated parts of discharge, it did have a smell, like metal, or blood. Please help me i dont know what to do
Female | 17
You may have suffered trauma to your labia. The scratches and bleeding can make the situation worse by causing dryness and irritation which will result in swelling and itching. The white discharge having a metallic smell might suggest that you have an infection. It's vital to refrain from using creams if you don't know the cause. Gently washing with water and wearing loose clothes can help. Proper diagnosis and treatment should be the first step you consider seeing a gynecologist for.

You need to send face pictures. As per the dermatologist in Navi Mumbai, this is scarring, which is after effect of Acne. The best treatment for this is Laser treatment.

I am 28 yo female and recently got sclerotherapy done on both legs (last Wednesday so it has been over a week). My veins have gotten worse, they are purple and more visible and quite sensitive to the touch. There is no bruising. My dermatologist said I may have had an allergic reaction to the treatment and suggested I get antihistamines. Will the veins subside?
Female | 28
Veins do appear more visible naturally after sclerotherapy treatment, but they usually improve over time as the body reabsorbs the treated veins. Its best to discuss your concerns with your dermatologist and follow the recommended treatment. Avoid prolonged sitting or standing and to wear compression stockings as recommended to decrease swelling and heal faster.

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.

Sir actually whenever my mother has fever and after recovery her upper body gets dry
Female | 61
Fever can cause dry skin, which is common after recovering. However, it shouldn't last too long. Make sure your mom stays well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water and applying a gentle moisturizer regularly to nourish her skin. If the dryness continues or worsens, visit a dermatologist and they can explore more solutions to address the issue effectively.

I m 23 and I face a lip skin issue from past month, symptoms lips crack white patches exfoliating
Male | 23
You are suffering from lip dermatitis. The symptoms you mentioned, such as cracked lips, white patches, and skin peeling off, are the typical signs of lip dermatitis. Lip dermatitis can be the result of dry weather, periodically licking the lips, or the use of severe lip products. Use a gentle lip balm and refrain from licking the lips. Proper nutrition and protection from damaging UV radiation should be observed to prevent harmful effects on the lips. If the discomfort persists, visit a dermatologist.

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.

Hello i am 21 years old, I did an ankle tattoo on Tuesday and since then my foot is hurting me specially when I walk, I don't know if it's relatable but I got my ankle sprained 6months ago so I don't know if I shouldn't do it on the samw ankle, I'm worried if there's something danger or it's normal and the pain will fade away soon, please if you can help me thank you
Female | 21
It is totally normal to get some pain and abrasions after getting a tattoo, especially when it comes to ankles because ankles have the thinnest skin. But the pain that lingers or gets worse strongly suggests a medical concern. In this case, one should definitely visit a doctor, ideally a dermatologist, in order to exclude or confirm the possibility of infection or an allergic reaction. With your past ankle sprain history, it would be advantageous to talk an orthopedist too, and to watch that the your tattoo is not interfering with the healing process.

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.
