Female | 18
You may have eczema, a condition that can lead to itchy, inflamed patches of skin that usually show up on the back of your knees. This happens when your skin gets too dry and irritated. To relieve your symptoms, try using a mild moisturizer and staying away from strong soaps or detergents. If this doesn’t help, talk to a dermatologist who can give you more advice.

Female | 19
A fungal infection seems present between your legs and private parts. Warm, moist environments allow fungal infections to occur. Itching, redness, and rashes are common symptoms. Antifungal cream from your pharmacist can treat it. Keeping the area clean and dry is crucial. Avoid tight clothing too. Consult a dermatologist if it persists.

Male | 21
Stool colour can change because of different reasons such as infections or change in diet. Therefore, before taking Metronidazole, it’s crucial to establish the specific cause of colour change. It can be dangerous to take medicine when you don’t know what has caused the situation. First, talk to a gastroenterologist for good advice.

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?
Male | 26
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.

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.

There is pain in my One tip of nipple for 2 weeks If i touches it Please what is the reason for it
Male | 20
Infections, injuries, or even a blocked milk duct could be responsible for this. Nipple pain might also be caused by hormonal changes at times. Over-the-counter pain relievers can be used to relieve the pain but if it persists, see a doctor.

Male | 35
It sounds like you may be experiencing a skin condition that could range from acne to other types of lesions. Factors like hormonal changes, stress, or skin irritation can contribute to such issues. It’s vital to keep the area clean and avoid irritating products. Over-the-counter treatments containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid may help reduce inflammation. However, if symptoms worsen or persist, I recommend consulting a dermatologist. A doctor can provide a precise diagnosis and tailored treatments.

I have white patch on my lips
Female | 28
Different factors can cause white marks on the lips. One of the main reasons is a fungal infection named oral thrush. This can happen if the immune system is not strong enough. Besides, it might be pathological damage from bites. To get to this point, it is necessary to do that. If the situation does not get any better, the pain becomes unbearable, and a meeting with the dermatologist is probably inevitable to get a diagnosis and cure the disease.

I am an 39 year old lady I am having dark acne , my chin is so black I am having black heads and white heads my skin is getting to dull . How these all problems believe my face? Hope you can help me
Female | 39
This could be because you have blackheads and whiteheads. They can be the ones that dull your skin. Acne is caused by the build-up of clogged pores, too much oil, and bacteria. Washing your face with a gentle cleanser, not squeezing the pimples, and using non-comedogenic skincare products that won't clog pores are some ways to help. Visit a dermatologist for more tips.
