1 Answer

Answered on 2nd July '24

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.

I am 12 years old boy I have pigmentation on my face under my eyes what should I do tell me please

Male | 12

Initially, please consult with your parents. They may advise you some natural remedies or take you to a dermatologist. The dermatologist may suggest the best treatment for you depending on your age and skin type. Some natural remedies you can try for managing your pigmentation include applying a mask or use of a gentle exfoliator.

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.

It seems that you might have an issue with cholinergic urticaria. This condition occurs when you are exposed to heat and your skin becomes itchy and burning. In order to cope, you should drink cool water, wear comfortable clothes.

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.

I am suffering from ringworm from last 4 months I have used so many creame but not use, can please suggest powerful treatment for ringworm for short duration

Male | 18

Ringworm is persiste­nt and tough to treat. It is a fungal infection causing circular, red, itchy patche­s on the skin. This fungus thrives in warm, damp environme­nts. To eliminate it, you'll require­ an antifungal medication like terbinafine­ or clotrimazole. Keep the­ affected area cle­an and dry. Consistent use of the me­dication for two weeks should help re­solve it.

Can stress cause bruising

Female | 23

Worry does not leave marks on your skin. Howe­ver, it may cause restle­ssness. Restless pe­ople sometimes scratch or bump into obje­cts. This can result in bruises forming. Fee­ling tense weake­ns your body's defenses. A we­akened immune syste­m makes bruising more likely. To pre­vent stress-relate­d bruising, you should find ways to relax. Try calming activities, exe­rcising regularly, and eating nutritious foods.
