This could indicate an injury, like something he­avy dropped on your toe. Or, it might mean a fungal infe­ction has taken hold. Keep watching the­ affected nail carefully in case­ symptoms worsen. If pain increases, discoloration spre­ads, or other nails become involve­d, see a dermatologist

My name is Kali my problem is skin chulkani hoyeche.

Female | 30

I understand you're dealing with skin itching. Itching can occur when your skin becomes dry and rough, often due to not drinking enough water, using harsh soaps, or cold weather. To manage it, make sure to drink plenty of water, apply moisturizer gently, and avoid harsh soaps. Also, protect your skin from the cold by wearing gloves and scarves.

Male | 18

Are you troubled by dry and frizzy hair? Signs include coarse, tangled strands lacking shine. This could be due to dryness or harsh products. To help, use coconut oil if your hair is oily, and opt for sulfate-free shampoos. Also, avoid washing with hot water. These steps should help you achieve silky, soft hair.

I am 22years old female and have acne or my face for last few years. I have not taken any treatment before this. And my one more thing is I have acne which are filled filled with pus, kindly suggest me what to do? How I can get rid of it?

Female | 22

Acne can cause by hormonal changes, stress, genetics, or other factors. If you have acne that is filled with pus, it is likely that you have an infection. Consult a dermatologist as soon as possible in order to get the proper treatment. You may need topical medication, an antibiotic or other treatment to get rid of the infection and reduce the breakouts. Keep your skin clean and moisturized, avoid touching your face again and again, and limit your exposure to dust and pollution.

Itching eczema or dermatitis

Male | 24

When your skin feels itchy, turns red and sometimes swells up it's called itching eczema or dermatitis. This could happen if your skin is sensitive to things such as soap, fabrics even stress. To relieve the condition, consider mild bathing soaps, and gentle moisturizers as well as resist scratching at all costs. If this doesn’t work out then you should see a dermatologist who can prescribe some special creams

Is it possible to get rid my stretchmark

Female | 27

Stretch marks are lines that appear on the skin when it is stretched a lot, such as during pregnancy. They may start as red or purple but gradually fade to a lighter color. To help reduce their appearance, you can use moisturizers or creams containing retinol or hyaluronic acid to keep your skin hydrated and healthy. Additionally, maintaining a healthy weight and drinking plenty of water can also help. However, remember that reducing stretch marks takes time, so be patient and stick to your skincare routine consistently.

I have acne scars which topical creams are best to use

Male | 24

Topical creams having retinoids, glycolic acid, and vitamin C are quite helpful in fading away the appearance of the scars. Nevertheless, you need to confer with a dermatologist if you are going to opt for a skin cream and the specialist can guide you with a better treatment plan that is unique to your type of skin and the extent of your scars.

Pimples appearing on face which is best gel clindamycin phosphate gel with benzoyl peroxide or clindamycin phosphate gel with niacinamide??

Female | 21

Pimples can be annoying, but there are solutions to help. These spots come from blocked pores and germs. A gel with clindamycin phosphate and benzoyl peroxide can kill bacteria and reduce swelling. Alternatively, clindamycin phosphate with niacinamide may be better for redness and irritation. Both options work well, so you should pick the one best for your skin type. Not sure which to try? Start with one, then switch if it doesn't help.

Taking acetaminophen and melatonin is usually not a problem. It gets rid of headache and also fever. This way you will avoid being affected by the injury for long since it will quicken your sleep. Even so, you should take the right amount of each medicine. If you have any worries or strange feelings it is best to talk to your doctor or pharmacist first.

Hello doctor , a cold sore under nose has left dark mark what to do regarding it

Female | 26

You have a dark mark left after a cold sore under your nose. A herpes simplex virus causes a cold sore. The sore is a part of the healing process, but it can leave behind a dark spot. This is the usual case. To help it fade, you can try using a cream with ingredients like vitamin C or kojic acid. Sunscreen use is always the first and essential skincare routine. With time, it should get better.
