Can I Supplement Fish Oil as a Vegetarian?
Can i supplement fish oil being a vegetarian without any issues
Dermatologist
Answered on 6th June '24
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.

long time skin fungal infection
Male | 30
Keeping the infected regions clean and dry helps speed up healing. These infections happen when tiny organisms called fungi grow on your skin. They can make your skin red, itchy, and scaly. Often appear in warm and moist areas, like between your toes or in your groin. If your infection still doesn't go away, visit a dermatologist as soon as possible.

My ureta and upper lips side red but no symptoms its dangerous ???
Female | 22
If your urethra and upper lip are red but you have no symptoms, then it isn't necessarily dangerous. However, the redness may sometimes occur on the skin due to the irritating action of soaps, lotions, and spicy foods. The area has to be protected from irritants while keeping it clean. If the symptoms do not go away, or you experience any discomfort, you should consult a dermatologist.

I have (in the last 24 hours) developed unusual blisters on my hands, fingers, nose, and cheek. Two mornings ago I woke up with a fever and chills (it has since subsided) and took Advil to help, but after two rounds of taking it, I noticed the bottle was a few years expired--perhaps this is related?
Male | 23
In the past 24 hours, if you have developed strange blisters around your hands, fingers cheek and nose then it is necessary to see a dermatologist. However, even if the expired Advil has no connection to the blisters, it is still essential never to take any medication after its expiration date. Seek specialized medical care in case your condition does not improve.

hwo to removr black spot on face
Male | 58
Black spots on the face are often a result of sun exposure, hormonal changes, or skin inflammation. They tend to form as flat areas that are darker than the surrounding skin. To remove these spots, you may opt to use over-the-counter creams containing retinol or hydroquinone, among other things. Moreover, it is also necessary to keep your skin safe from the sun's rays by applying sunscreen to it daily. If the spots persist or you have concerns, seeing a dermatologist is the best option for further evaluation and treatment.

I have lots of active acne and acne marks all over on my face . If one gets better then another is coming. Also face is getting darker than my actual skin tobe and looks very dull .How to get rid of those problems
Female | 26
The skin issue you're experiencing is likely acne, a common skin condition. Acne happens when hair follicles get clogged due to extra oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. This can lead to pimples, blackheads, or acne scars, and may also cause dark spots due to inflammation.
To improve your skincare routine, start with a gentle cleanser. Avoid touching your face often and try products with ingredients like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. Also, try to limit sun exposure. If you need more help, visit a dermatologist.

Itching with dark black circles and also it is spreading in my body
Male | 21
Dark black circles spreading on your body seem difficult. Maybe it's eczema causing those itchy dry patches? Eczema makes skin irritated and dark. Left alone, it gets worse. Try gentle lotion, and avoid harsh soap. See a dermatologist if it won't go away. They'll help diagnose the problem and treat it properly.

I have pimples and acne on my face . What should I do?
Male | 15
This can happen when your skin gets too oily, pores get blocked, bacteria grows in them or hormonal changes take place. To help get rid of them, you can try washing your face with a mild soap often, don’t squeeze them, and keep your hands off your face. Over-the-counter creams or gels with benzoyl peroxide/salicylic acid may also work for you. Consider talking to a dermatologist for more help.

To help clear up acne, attempt washing your face with a mild cleanser twice a day, and do not pinch or pick the pimples. Moreover, benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid over-the-counter treatments can also be useful. In case these do not work, it is necessary to see a dermatologist.

I have oily skin and acne marks and acne on my forehead And my face , brown spot in my face
Female | 27
You may have a combination of shiny skin, hyperpigmentation, pimples on your forehead, and spots on your cheeks. Overactive oil glands are a magnet for pimples which consecutively leave dark marks. Stress, hormones, and your diet could all contribute to making it severe. Tanning or irritating your skin might be responsible for brown spots. To fix your issue, gently clean it every day using cleansing products; you can get some over-the-counter drugs meant for treating acne then apply them as instructed, and protect it against the sun by wearing sunscreen all the time.
