You have jock itch, which is a skin condition that grows a fungus on your skin in hot and damp regions such as the inner thighs. The list includes itching, blackening of the skin as well as rashes. Treatment of the ailment entails you having to purchase antifungal creams. This illness is one of those that often recur.

Can i supplement fish oil being a vegetarian without any issues

Male | 18

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.

I am 19 years old and recent night I am going on my roof when I was on stairs I saw a dog coming through stair then he barks near me and I fell from stairs . Then I see my leg scratch I have doubt that dog scratch me or not

Male | 19

If a dog happens to cut your skin, it can be the start of an infection. The wound should be washed with soap and water to clean it thoroughly. Be alert for symptoms of an infection such as redness, swelling, warmth, or pus. If you see these signs, it is necessary to see a doctor for further assessment and treatment.

Shall i get treatment for sensitive skin?

Female | 33

Living with sensitive skin can be frustrating. Your skin may redden, itch, and burn, often triggered by genetics and certain products. Use gentle, fragrance-free products, avoid hot showers as they can be harsh, and shield your delicate skin from the sun's rays. With proper care, your sensitive skin can feel comfortable again.

Hi, I had sclerotherapy done on Wednesday last week. My veins look a lot worse, they as re purple and more visible, there is no brusing and they are also quite sore to the touch/I can feel tiredness in my legs. My doctor said I may have had an allergic reaction to the therapy because I am on holiday in a hot country (Brazil) and prescribed me an antihistamine. Will the veins eventually fade or will I need more treatment?

Female | 28

Bruising and discomfort after sclerotherapy are natural which normally resolves within a few days. But since you said your veins look worse and are more visible after the procedure could indicate a complication. It's good that you have already spoken with your doctor, but still experiencing discomfort or have any concerns, follow up with them promptly. 

 

In some cases the veins may fade on their own over time, but if the issue is related to the sclerotherapy procedure, additional treatment can be needed. Its best to follow up with your doctor to discuss your options and determine the best treatment.
