Answered on 13th June '24

HPV means human papillomavirus. You can’t get it from things like cups, clothes, doors, and keyboards. This virus is often spread through skin-to-skin contact. It can cause warts or even cancer in some cases. The best way to keep yourself safe from this virus is to get the HPV vaccine.

I'm 14 years old female and i'm having trouble with my hair for the past few weeks or mybe years recently i have slipt ends, hair knots and dandruff and i have wavy and freezy hair and i'm always open to heat and traffic jam so mybe because of that my hair is damaged but i want to add more volume and shinny in my hair please suggest me that what can i do? Is the cureskin product trustable?

Female | 14

These problems may be caused by factors such as heat exposure, traffic pollution, and using the wrong hair products. To improve the volume and shine of your hair, use a nourishing shampoo and conditioner, limit heat styling, and detangle your hair gently. Consider including hair masks or serums to provide your hair with extra nutrients. As for Cureskin products, it would be best to do some research and read user reviews to determine if they are effective. If you remember to use gentle products and treatments on your hair, you will improve both its health and appearance over time.

Male | 50

Psoriasis can be a bit challenging to treat but various treatments like medications, laser treatments, alternative treatments like homeopathy etc., avoiding triggers that worsen your psoriasis symptoms can prove useful. I suggest talking to your doctor for proper examination of your condition which will help in deciding which is the best treatment for your condition.

You have a recurrent fungal infection in your lower body. Warm and humid conditions, such as excessive sweating, are the possible causes of fungal infections. Symptoms are characterized by redness, itching, and a rash. To help, ensure the area is dry and clean, wear breathable clothes, and apply antifungal creams. Also, strictly follow the given directions for the cream to notice the improvement.

My skin is very dull and roughness my skin is no glow and shine and very dry skin

Female | 29

Seems like your skin is not shining with the desired brightness and is rather dull, rough, and dry. When skin reflects this quality, it could be a sign that it is not receiving enough water give and nutrients. The skin can become dry due to things like hot showers, harsh soaps, and not drinking enough water. Using gentle cleansers, drinking water, and applying moisturizer can help to the skin regain its glow and softness.

How to tighten pore on face

Female | 28

Your face has tiny ope­nings called pores. Sometime­s, they seem bigge­r. Causes can be oily skin, sun hurt, or age. Ke­eping your face clean he­lps shrink them. Wash regularly with a gentle­ cleanser and products with salicylic acid to unclog pores. Use­ a moisturizer that won't block pores, kee­ping them smaller. The sun damage­s pores, making them look bigger. Prote­ct with sunscreen daily. Diet and wate­r can also improve skin appearance.

Can I use benzoyl peroxide ointment for acne

Male | 13

Acne is a frequent skin problem that affects a person's skin by pimples and redness. Acne can be managed by using benzoyl peroxide ointment. It operates by eradicating bacteria from the skin. You might notice dryness or peeling at first, but it usually gets better with time. It is important to use only a small amount and keep away from sensitive parts.

Male | 14

The treatment depends on the diagnosis and the cause of rashes and ring marks. Rashes and ring marks can be caused by a variety of reasons such as eczema, allergy, fungal infections etc. I advise you to take your son to a doctor for knowing the exact cause and diagnosis of rashes and ring marks. Based on that, a proper treatment plan can be recommended.

Skin care products for dark dry skin types

Female | 20

When dry, dark skin fe­els tight or rough, itchiness happens some­times. This dryness arises due­ to cold air, harsh soaps, and lack of water. Find skin creams containing shea butte­r or glycerin to keep skin soft and hydrate­d. Hyaluronic acid also helps. Use sunscree­n always and drink lots of water. Hot showers damage by stripping natural oils away from the skin. So the­y're best avoided.

Best sunscreen for oily skin and acne prone skin for teenagers girls

Female | 16

Taking care­ of oily, acne-prone skin is a priority for many tee­nage girls. Sunscreen plays a vital role­ in skin protection. Choose oil-free­ and non-comedogenic sunscree­ns. These won't clog pores or make­ your skin greasy. Look for zinc oxide or titanium dioxide ingre­dients. They are ge­ntle. Sunscreen pre­vents skin damage and premature­ aging. Establish a daily sunscreen habit for healthy skin.

My mother and brother have chicken pox. It's been 4 days and taking medicine. I have had this disease before. Is there any possibility of more coming as I am taking care of them? My father is on medication after his stroke. So, can he take preventive medicine? Is there any use in consuming it for so many days? Since we are all in one house, there is a common toilet. Cleaned with Dettol after each use. Is there a problem with that?

Female | 45

It's so cool that you worry about your family's health. As you have already had chicken pox, you are in all probabilities immune to it. Your dad who is in the process of stroke recovery should not use any preventive medicines on his own without consulting with the doctor. It is a good thing to wash the toilet with Dettol to reduce the possibility of the germs spreading. Pure, practicing the supreme rudiments and caring for one another will be enough to get by!

Male | 30

There are a few options that you could try. First, it may help if you switch up your skincare routine. Make sure you are using gentle cleansers and moisturizers that are suitable for your skin type. You may also want to look into products that contain salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, which can help reduce inflammation and clear up acne. Additionally, you may consult with a dermatologist to discuss further treatment options. They may be able to recommend a prescription topical treatment or a course of antibiotics that could help clear up your acne.
