Sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim also recognized as Bactrim is not usually used in treating chlamydia. This is because it is a bacteria that spreads through intimate contact. This may lead to painful urination, unusual discharge, and sometimes no signs at all. Normally, antibiotics such as azithromycin or doxycycline are used to cure chlamydia. If you suspect that you have the disease, it is important to get tested and treated so as to avoid any further complications.

I have hair loss due to ‘Alopecia’ so doctor told to apply panderm cream is that ok
Male | 28
Alopecia causes hair loss. Panderm cream is not recommended because it contains steroids and can have side effects on the skin, potentially making the condition worse. It's better to see a dermatologist for proper treatment options like topical medications or injections.

I'm a 27 year old male and about two weeks ago I accidentally stabbed my hand with an ink pen and there's been a black sack or lump on it since and it doesn't look like it's healing even though it doesn't hurt. Since then I've had headaches, stomach pain, chest pain, left arm and hand pain, back pain, brain fog, fast heart rate, and tingling every day. I also took nsaids every days as well so I don't know if I'm sick from stomach inflammation or if I have an infection. I can't go to the doctor's because I don't have health insurance. What should I do?
Male | 27
A part of your hand, likely where the infection started, may have been affected by the pen blast. This infection could now be spreading and causing other symptoms like headaches, stomach pain, tingling, and a fast heart rate. This is serious, as it can lead to tissue damage and become life-threatening if it spreads through your blood. Getting immediate medical treatment from a dermatologist is essential.
If you’ve been using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) daily, which can harm the upper GI tract, consult a doctor. You should get tested for Helicobacter pylori, and if positive, start the recommended treatment. Consulting a gastroenterologist for ways to help your stomach heal can also be beneficial.

Will washing his hair scar his scalp or will his scalp scab and heal back to normal?
Other | 24
Regularly washing hair won't harm your scalp or cause scabs, unless you scrub roughly or use very hot water. If scalp feels sore, turns red, or develops scabs, try gentler shampoo and lukewarm water instead. Don't scratch the scalp. Allow it to heal naturally. However, if the issue persists, consult a dermatologist for professional advice.

Hi, I'm having dark spots on hands and legs which are caused by wounds. Please suggest me any cream to get rid off them
Female | 22
It looks like you have a skin problem called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This happens when your skin makes too much color after a cut or bruise. This causes dark spots. To make the dark spots go away, you can use a cream with ingredients like vitamin C, kojic acid, or licorice extract. It may take some time for the spots to fade away. And make sure to stay out of the sun to stop the spots from getting darker. If the problem persists, visit a dermatologist.

Female | 20
Eczema might be the condition causing those itchy bumps. This skin issue can worsen over time due to things like dry skin or allergies. To ease the itchiness, apply a gentle moisturizer and resist scratching the bumps. However, if they spread or don't improve, consulting a dermatologist for evaluation and treatment would be wise.

There is peeling of the skin on the nails of the hands and the nails are also melting slightly
Female | 52
Skin peeling around the nails, and sometimes the actual nails can happen if hands are exposed to chemicals or water, frequently. Another possible reason is a lack of vitamins or a skin condition. To address this, just practice these things — avoid chemicals, wear gloves, eat healthy, and keep the skin of the hands moist. You can also consult a dermatologist for further treatments.

My 2yrs old is having rashes and black spots, can I give her emzoclox, the rashes normally comes and goes
Female | 2yrs
It's important to understand that rashes and dark spots can arise from various sources, such as allergies, irritation, or skin infections. While Emzoclox may help with certain bacterial infections, it is vital to have a pediatrician evaluate your child’s specific condition first. Observing whether the rashes have triggers like certain foods or activities can be helpful. In the meantime, keep the affected area clean and avoid using products that could worsen irritation.

Female | 26
The darkening of the skin, dark under the eyes, and hyperpigmentation you mentioned can happen due to hormonal changes during breastfeeding. The reasons are various; it can be hormonal changes or skin sensitivity that may cause pimples. The skincare products and medications your dermatologist prescribed are the right ones for your condition during breastfeeding. The facewash, serum, and sunscreen can contribute not only to the health of your skin but also to its protection from harmful sun rays.

Male | 15
Acne happens when hair follicles get blocked by oils and dead skin cells. Hormones can also cause acne to appear. To help prevent it, wash your face gently with a mild cleanser. Avoid touching or squeezing the acne, as it can cause scars. If it's bothering you, seeing a dermatologist is a good idea.

is using the spoon already used by stranger cause any skin problems like shape change?
Male | 24
Using a stranger's spoon won't instantly cause unusual patterns to appear on your skin. However, it is possible to develop skin issues like infections or rashes. Your skin may show irritation through symptoms such as redness, itching, or swelling. To prevent this, it's best to always use your own spoon and sanitize it properly. If irritation does occur, applying a soothing skincare lotion can help calm the skin.

I am facing hair loss. I want to confirm if it's androgenic alopecia because I'm planning to start finasteride 1mg oral (3 times a week). Can you help me?
Male | 23
Experiencing hair thinning can be concerning, and androgenic alopecia is a common cause, often characterized by progressive hair loss at the temples and crown. This condition is influenced by genetic factors and hormones. Finasteride can help by blocking dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone linked to hair loss. It's advisable to consult a dermatologist before starting any medication to ensure it aligns with your health needs.

My mother has developed red patches on skin all over her body. Initially it occurs as a small red patch and then it widens and spreads . These red patches have occurred on her neck, breast, tummy, legs, head, back, elbow , everywhere. She has also developed cuts on her finger. It itches and burns very much. What is the diagnosis of this skin disease?
Female | 55
Your description of the symptoms leads me to believe that your mother has a skin condition called eczema. Eczema is characterized by the appearance of red, itchy patches on the skin. It can be caused or aggravated by certain substances or environmental factors. To alleviate the symptoms, it is necessary to maintain the skin's hydration and avoid irritants. Using mild soaps and wearing comfortable, breathable clothes can also be helpful.

My feet are red i have been in pain for 6weeks
Male | 22
It seems that you are severely affected. Labial ends and other conditions of the feet usually arise from several occasions such as inflammation, infection, or poor circulation. If you take a break and lift your feet, you may get some relief. Putting an ice pad on can also reduce swelling. Additionally, you should ensure that your shoes are comfortable to wear. However, taking into account that this problem has been present for six weeks, it is my opinion that you should discuss this with a dermatologist. They can check up on your health condition precisely and then they can give you detailed treatment.

Male | 17
Stubborn dandruff may be caused by a fungus on your scalp that causes the skin cells to accumulate and become flaky. Scratching too much could also be the cause of a sore head. Use a medicated shampoo that treats the fungus and calms your scalp; additionally, wash your hair gently and frequently.

Female | 22
Redness and sensitivity in your skin, along with the appearance of dark spots, may be due to factors such as sun exposure, irritation, or even hormonal changes. To improve your skin’s condition, consider incorporating gentle cleansers and moisturizers into your routine. Sunscreen is crucial to prevent further discoloration. Additionally, products containing vitamin C or niacinamide may help brighten dark areas. However, since your symptoms are concerning, I encourage you to consult a dermatologist. They can provide personalized advice and treatment options to achieve the best results for your skin health.
