Tetanus Injection for Finger Scratch: Urgent or Not?
Can I take tetanus injection 4 days after a minor surface scratch on a finger without blood coming out. There's a little redness and pain. I continuously applied handwash and a common antiseptic cream 2-3 times daily since the injury. Now can I take tetanus injection today or am I good?

Answered on 12th Aug '24
Cleaning a scratch often with soap and cream is smart. Small cuts can allow tetanus germs inside. Tetanus makes muscles tight and jerky - dangerous. If injured, take the tetanus shot within one to three days. Since it's been four days and your scratch is red and hurts, get the shot today to be secure. That shields you from risks.

Female | 19
If you have active pimples, acne, and dark spots, it’s best to see a dermatologist. They can give you proper treatment to clear your skin and reduce dark spots. Avoid using harsh products on your own as they might make things worse.

Female | 21
Hi Muskan... Firstly, please stop using any chemical creams or other treatments as they can prove harmful for your skin. Instead, try going for moisturizers to keep your skin hydrated and use natural ingredients like honey, turmeric etc. to lighten your skin. I also advise you to apply sunscreen when going out. Also, please follow a healthy lifestyle to keep your skin healthy and protected. I hope this answer proved helpful.

I hve some acne scars..want to remove these..these are popped pimple scars
Male | 16
Pimple scars can seem annoying, but there are ways to treat them. These scars form when your skin heals after popping a pimple. The scars look like dark spots or uneven texture. To help fade scars, try products containing retinol or vitamin C. Always use sunscreen too since sun exposure can worsen scars. It takes time, but be patient and caring towards your skin.

Dark black spot at both corners of my lip. I have tried to treat it, but to no effect yet.
Female | 25
Dark black spots in the corners of the lip can be removed using RF cautery under local anesthesia, or can use some other clinical treatment too, but before any assumptions are made, examination is a must. You can connect with any dermatologist in Navi Mumbai to solve this issue.

My dad is 54 year old and have the starting stage of herpes zoster we have used ointment cream for couple of days but haven't got relief. What should we do now ?
Male | 54
Herpes zoster, also known as shingles, is caused by the same virus as chickenpox. It can lead to a rash, blisters, and pain. Since the ointment hasn't been effective, I recommend your dad see a dermatologist for further evaluation and possibly a prescription to help with the pain and healing.

Male | 24
Hair fall may happen as a result of several reasons such as stress, unhealthy diet, or heredity. You may be the one to whom it is happening if you notice more hair on the pillow or in the shower. To support your efforts, healthy eating, stress relief, and using gentle hair products can be helpful.

Hi, I am a girl of 19 years old. My boyfriend has given me a love bite on my breast and on back. I wanted to ask if this is normal? As I am feeling a bit sick and feverish. I want to know if this is okay to feel such way? For more information, earlier when i got a love bite, it was on neck and i faced neck infection. I had neck swelling. It got okay after medications though. But I want to know if there are chances for swelling this time too? Something like this? Or will it be okay with time and nothing will happen? Please clear. Thanks
Female | 19
A love bite can cause fever and sickness, it's normal. Your boyfriend's bite on the breast and back may have let bacteria enter broken skin. This causes infection - swelling and tenderness. Clean the area, use warm compress, take pain meds if needed. But if pus appears or symptoms worsen, get medical help right away.

If there is redness at the side of urethra but there is no symptoms etc. Only redness under upper lips means uretra.its redness is dangerous !??And why is there redness if I don't have any pain or irritation etc. And is this redness dangerous?
Female | 22
High redness, in the absence of any pain or irritation, is not to be seen near the urethra normally. These reddish spots may indicate inflammation or infection even if you do not have any other symptoms. Listening to your body's signals is vital. It is helpful to drink water and to keep it clean. You should visit a dermatologist if the redness continues or if you get other symptoms.

My lower back side of the scalp is sensitive and its not plain and i am suffering from hair loss so do you recommend hair weaving?
Male | 38
Hair weaving is usually for grade 5 hair loss condition, if you have thinning of hair in the crown area then clinical treatments would be an ideal solution for the same. Kindly consult a Trichologist/Dermatologist and get your hair check done for perfect analysis and an appropriate treatment.

i found lump that I feel on tip of rib bone underneath of my right breast that seems more prominent by raising both arms up to head I have normal weight and small boobs I feel this hardness still from 3 years without any change in size I am 19 years old female is it normal??
Female | 19
Feeling a lump near your rib can alarm you, but often it's harmless. This bump could be where your rib meets cartilage, a costochondral junction. You might notice it more when raising your arms. Unless it grows, causes pain, or triggers other issues, there's typically no cause for concern. However, if changes occur or worries persist, consulting a dermatologist can provide reassurance.

Hello I am Vanitha Kotian and my hair is pretty dry and brittle.which shampoo, oil and conditioner do u recommend
Female | 52
dry and fragile hair can result from many reasons such as genetics, poor nutrition or surrounding. On the other hand, it is always advisable to see a dermatologist who can inspect your scalp and strands of hair in order to establish exactly what has caused this condition. They can then offer specific hair care products and treatments that address your needs.

I am 26 year old Female. I have acne scars from past 2-3 months. I was using Clear gel ointment on them. The scars have reduced but still the skin is not getting clear. Prior to this I never had acne. Also my skin is normal type not at all acne prone or oily skin. Please suggest some Medication or ointment for clear skin. I have started following a skincare routine with Cleansing Toning Vitamin C serum Eye cream Moisturizer and Sunscreen.
Female | 26
The best way to get clear skin is to use a gentle skincare routine that includes cleansing, toning, exfoliating, and moisturizing. To help reduce the appearance of acne scars, you may also want to consider using a product with ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid to help reduce inflammation, promote collagen production, and improve hydration levels. Additionally, you may want to consider using a gentle exfoliating scrub or mask, such as a clay mask, to help remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and brighten skin. Lastly, you may want to consider using a topical spot treatment with ingredients like salicylic acid to help reduce inflammation and break down any remaining acne scarring.

Why would nothing come out when doctor lanced a cyst
Male | 39
Along with the cutting of the cyst, the doctor expects to see some liquid or pus discharge. Empty content indicates that there was no fluid inside. It is crucial to follow up with the doctor who carried out the procedure or a dermatologist for future management of the lump.

i am using finasteride 1mg daily for hair loss . i have read that it can cause prostate cancer . is this true or can i take it without any worry
Male | 26
Finasteride is mostly safe to use for most people and it's not a direct cause of prostate cancer. Nevertheless, it can have an impact on the behavior of the prostate which in turn, may result in a PSA test result being altered. If you have concerns, it's always best to talk to your doctor.

This could mean you have eczema. Eczema makes skin red, itchy and inflamed in patches. Many things can trigger it, like allergies or irritants. To help, keep skin moisturized. Don't use harsh soaps. Try a gentle moisturizing cream or ointment instead. You can also visit a dermatologist.
