I can see that scratching you due to a street dog can be a worrying issue for you. From your information, the scratch is not too deep, which may mean there is a low chance of infection. Watch out for any redness, swelling, or warmth around the area. First of all, wash the scratch using soap and water and then apply the antiseptic cream to the area to avoid any further infection. Watch the scratch for a few days, and if you spot any of the infection signs that are getting worse, like more pain, redness, or pus formation, it is better to go to a doctor.

My throat and various joints of my body are very dark for the last five to six years. My weight is above 80 kg. And I have high pressure

Male | 18

Your skin might be affected by acanthosis nigricans which is identified by dark patches, even on the throat and joints. Being overweight and having high blood pressure are risk factors for this. The treatment is to lose weight and control the BP, as a result, the patches can be healed. Follow a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and be consistent with your prescribed medications to control your blood pressure.

I want to know about genital warts

Female | 25

Genital warts result from a virus which spreads via sex; they resemble tiny bumpy growths and may appear pink or flesh-colored, sometimes causing itchiness or pain. A dermatologist should be consulted for treatment; this could involve prescribing a cream or carrying out procedures to remove them. The use of protection during sexual activity can help prevent their transmission.

Can i supplement fish oil being a vegetarian without any issues

Male | 18

As a vegetarian, if you want to include Omega-3 fatty acids in your diet, you should not use fish oil. What is in fish oil mainly comes from fish, and many people may find this unappealing. Instead, consider using flaxseed oil or algae oil which are obtained from plants. The two oils have similar benefits as fish oil but do not contradict with the vegetarian lifestyle.

Hello sir/ma'am please suggest me any skin cream. I used elosone ht cream over my skin for 3 month, that have affected my skin. And one of my friend told me that i have a skin atrophy. My skin where i use to apply the cream is completely covered with a dark layer. Can you please suggest me any cream so that the affected area can be fade out by time. Please ma'am its a humble request to you. It feels very bad and i cant even go outside due to this.

Female | 18

Using the cream may have caused your skin to become thin and fragile, a condition known as atrophy. The dark layer you see could be a result of this. Try using a gentle moisturizing cream with ingredients like aloe vera or oatmeal to help fade it over time. Avoid strong products and give your skin time to recover. Always do a patch test on new products before applying them to larger areas.

Sir mery skin per Dany and pimple ban gay thy me ne doctor se treatment kerwaya jis me aik serum b Tha skin ko peel off kerny wala wo serum me ne zyada use ker ley jis se mery pory face ke skin jal Gai ha aysy daikhti ha jaysy chaiya ho skin dekhny me aysy ha jaysy chalky ke terha utr jay ge skin

Female | 22

You expe­rienced an unwanted re­action to the serum. Pee­ling, dry skin often results from overusing harsh products. Stop using the­ serum right away. Prioritize gentle­ moisturizers, avoiding irritating formulas. Allow time for natural healing. Ove­r a few days, your complexion should improve and re­gain balance.

Pimple and Pimple marks in face

Female | 27

Pimple marks are small bumps that can be red, swollen, or have pus, the pinky-gray of the skin. These things are generated when the pores become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Pimple marks are dark or red spots left behind after a pimple goes away. In order to reduce your chances of getting pimples, you should wash your face regularly, stay away from oily products, and never pick or squeeze the pimples. Apply products that contain benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to treat them.

I am 31 year old female from lucknow ,i want to know about skin melanin treatment surgery for skin lightening and whitening ,is this is good for skin in future or in my 60’s ,,i have dry combination skin Please suggest

Female | 31

Skin melanin treatment surgery can be harmful in the long run so I suggest not to go for it. You can try other treatments like chemical peels or dermabrasion instead. These treatments can help lighten the skin and are not harmful in the long run. Also using moisturizer and sunscreen can help.

I got acne on whole face first there is pimple and it convert into mark or acne . Or having white spot ,uneven tone the texture is very bad like hyperpigmentation.

Female | 23

Pimples occur when oil and dead skin cells block hair follicles thus leading to a condition called acne. The marks are usually a result of inflammation in the skin. Instances that can be white spots and not consistent in color are marks of hyperpigmentation. Be gentle to your skin, do not pick your skin, and use products with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide.
