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.

I am 24years old,female and I have an abscess under my arm please I need an antibiotic
Female | 24
A usual way for this to occur is for the bacteria to get into a hair follicle or a gland that emits some sweat. You might notice that your skin gets red, swells up, and feels warm around the area. The best possible way is to visit a dermatologist who will cut your abscess then drain it and, you may need antibiotics to kill the virus.

In my back acne and itching
Male | 32
Back acne occurs when hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin cells, leading to bumps on the skin. This condition can be worsened by sweating or wearing tight clothes. The itchiness is often due to irritation caused by the acne. To manage back acne, try using a mild cleanser and avoid wearing tight clothing. Use oil-free lotions and refrain from scratching your skin, this can worsen the condition.

I am 35 years old female diabetic patient. I have many wounds in my legs and arms since 9 months but I failed to recover it some one tells me that it is gangrene. Plz inform me for treatment
Female | 35
It's essential to address the wounds on your legs and arms, especially given your diabetes. Poor healing can be due to various factors, including decreased blood flow and infection. Symptoms of gangrene may include discoloration, a foul smell, or significant pain; however, a professional assessment is crucial for accurate diagnosis. I recommend scheduling an appointment with your dermatologist as soon as possible. They can evaluate your condition, provide appropriate treatment options, such as antibiotics or wound care strategies, and guide you on managing your diabetes more effectively to improve healing.

I am 19 years old and recent night I am going on my roof when I was on stairs I saw a dog coming through stair then he barks near me and I fell from stairs . Then I see my leg scratch I have doubt that dog scratch me or not
Male | 19
If a dog happens to cut your skin, it can be the start of an infection. The wound should be washed with soap and water to clean it thoroughly. Be alert for symptoms of an infection such as redness, swelling, warmth, or pus. If you see these signs, it is necessary to see a doctor for further assessment and treatment.

I'm 19 years old. Female. My face is full of tiny bumps, whiteheads, blackheads and dark spots.. I've been using salicylic acid from around 2 months now. But now I'm getting more tiny bumps all around my face and my face is getting dark.. is it purging or I'm using a wrong product..
Female | 19
Small pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, and dark spots appearing together is no fun. Sometimes salicylic acid makes things seem worse initially, a process called "purging." If it's been two months without improvement, that product might not work for your skin type. A simple solution: talk to a dermatologist for advice tailored to your needs.

Is sore throat durimg chicken pox can be cured?
Female | 24
A person with chickenpox has a sore throat as a common difficulty. This phenomenon is from the throat's being irritated due to the virus. The good news is that the sore throat gets better as the body fights off the virus. Drinking warm liquids and soft foods may work well to soothe the throat. If the sore throat is severe or lasts a long time, it's important to see a healthcare provider for further advice.

Hello doctor.. I have heavy hair fall issue.. I have been facing this issue since 10 years... Currently iam using minoxidil. Recently i have done with blood tests.. No thyroid and no ferritin issues... Vit d deficiency is there.. Nd i am unmarried womam.. My hair partition width is clearly visible.. I want to take oral minoxidil.. Will you please prescribe nd plz tell me if any side effects are there..
Female | 32
Excessive hair shedding for an extended period can understandably cause distress. Having ruled out deficiencies through blood tests is a positive step. However, your Vitamin D deficiency may contribute to hair loss. Utilizing minoxidil topically could help, but oral minoxidil carries potential risks like low blood pressure and heart palpitations. Before initiating any new medication, I advise discussing the possibility of oral minoxidil with a dermatologist to carefully evaluate the pros and cons. Making an informed decision after considering all factors is crucial.

Hi doc..i have this sour and white taste toungue for few months.scrap it off the next day it comes back..is it due to smoking and alcohol user..i dont have this problem before..ols help
Male | 52
You have a white sour taste in your mouth that won't go away even after scraping it off. According to my experience, this might be caused by smoking or alcohol which irritates the mouth hence this recurring problem. To solve this problem, reduce smoking and taking alcohol. Ensure that your teeth are always clean and don’t forget to scrape your tongue. If this doesn't work out for you then I would advise you to visit a dentist who will further guide you on what to do.

I have a skin cut I haven’t done any medication but I used bactrocin cream now I am afraid of my wound I Don't know what to do
Male | 19
You used bactrocin cream on a skin cut. That's okay, but first clean cuts with soap and water before applying cream. Bactrocin cream helps prevent infections. However, if the cut looks red, swollen, or has pus, it may be infected. See a dermatologist in that case, they'll examine and treat it properly. Meanwhile, keep the cut clean and covered.

Im 19yrs old, getting red stretch marks on my right breasts and they are little itchy and burning! Is it normal? Its only in one of my breasts!
Female | 19
Stretch marks often appear during growth periods like at 19. They're reddish, itchy bands from your expanding skin. Having them on just one side is normal too. Gentle moisturizers may ease the irritation. Drink plenty of fluids.

Foot and hands ???? crack in my childhood day's it's problem continues in to my mother please ???? I needed solution for this problem help me
Male | 25
This may be the case because of the dryness from the lack of water. The absence of water in the skin can cause it to crack and get very painful. A good start would be to be always aware of your water intake, drink a lot of water, constantly apply a good moisturizer, and cover your hands and feet when going out. If the condition persists, visit a dermatologist.

Hello! I'd like to consult on a medication called Doxycycline I took 2 doses wrongly by accident (2 pills 2 times a day instead of 1 pill 2 times a day) Should I wait 24 hours and take the next dose in the morning? or should I take my next dose now? also, could I check the effectiveness of doxycycline? (I have taken doxycycline before and I'm concerned it might not be effective) Thank you!
Male | 24
It's important to use medicines the right way if you want them to work well. Too much doxycycline might give you a stomach ache, make you feel sick, or throw up. If you have taken 2 doses at once, just skip that particular time and take your next dose when it is due. Even after this drug may still be effective but not in the correct manner as before; so always consult with your doctor if doubtful about its efficacy.

Dear Sir/Ma'am I am a student. I am having hair loss problem for 5 years. I once had hair treatment from a doctor, the doctor gave me some medicine, but it did not go well. And now I am suffering from hair loss again. I also have stomach problems. And I am continuing my stomach problem treatment. Please help me with your advice. Thank you for reading this request. Sincerely Ai Kham Gogoi
Male | 24
Typically, the level of hair loss might rise due to stress, maybe because of an imbalanced diet or any other medical factors. Furthermore, it can also stand to reason that stomach-related problems can be tied to dietary options than any underlying health issue. Moreover, please do not forget to eat a balanced diet, minimize stress, and drink a lot of water. It is always important to communicate with your dermatologist.
