Do I Need Tetanus Shot for Human Bite?
Got a human bite during a fight. It has made 5 bruise marks of teeth. Wanted to ask if tetanus injection is required
Trichologist
Answered on 24th Sept '24
Getting a human bite might seem harmless, but it requires care. Five teeth bruise marks signal potential tetanus risk. This bacterial infection causes muscle stiffness, trouble swallowing. Don't delay consulting your doctor if bitten. They'll likely recommend a tetanus shot as preventive measure.

Hi doctors, My mother who is 50 yrs old is facing excessive sweating from 2 years, we hve checked her BP, sugar and thyroid which are normal, but I'm not understanding which doctor to consult regarding this excessive sweating.
Female | 50
Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, is annoying. The reasons for the sweating can be other than normal BP, sugar, and thyroid of your mother. The medications, menopause, stress, or health problems that are hidden might lead to such a situation. A dermatologist with a focus on skin problems will be the best choice. They can help pinpoint the cause of the sweating and recommend treatments.

I am 17yrs old and I don’t knw what is wrong with my eye section I got a huge bumb right above my eye lashes
Male | 17yrs
It sounds like you may have a stye. A stye is a red, painful lump situated near the eyelid's edge. People may suffer swelling, tenderness, and at times even pus formation. Generally, bacteria are responsible for causing styes when they invade the oil glands around the eyelids. You should administer warm compresses to your eye several times every day without squeezing or bursting the infected area to treat it. It might be wise to consult an eye specialist if no improvement occurs, or the condition deteriorates.

Cut self trimming pubic hair Hi Im 25 and was trying to trim my testicles with scissors and knicked a bit of skin and they were proper scissors. It bled a decent bit at first but I was in the shower so I was able to get a bit of toilet roll and hold it to stop the bleeding. It made me very dizzy to the point where I was struggling to stand I'm not sure if it was just because I was panicking or pain. But It stopped for a bit and I tried to stand and it started bleeding a tiny bit like a drop because I think it was a proper cut. I stood up again but I don't thinks it's bleeding any more and just looks like a knick. But is it something I should get checked out or should it be fine to let it heal. Sorry if this is the wrong thing to do I don't really know who to ask and phoning the doctors at my bit is really bad just now cause there so busy and if I'm just overreacting.
Male | 25
If the bleeding has stopped and the cut is small, it should heal on its own. Keep the area clean and apply an antiseptic. However, because you felt dizzy and it was a proper cut, it's a good idea to see a doctor, specifically a dermatologist or a urologist, to ensure there's no risk of infection or other complications.

I found a rashes on my back it painful
Male | 27
Rashes stem from varied causes – allergies, infections, irritants. Perhaps new detergent irritated skin. Or sweat-straped under clothing. To soothe discomfort, try cool compresses and anti-itch creams from the drugstore. Crucially, keep affected areas clean and dry. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, promptly consult a dermatologist.

How do I make anal warts go away on their own at home?
Female | 17
Anal warts are an issue that is caused by a virus, and they may be gone without any treatment, but it may last for a long time. The lumps are either pink or red and are located around the area. Make sure the place around is dry and clean avoiding the corners of the skin with excessive moisture to be infected. Prevent yourself from squeezing, or rubbing them. Wearing breathable cotton underwear and staying away from tight clothes would prove helpful. Pain or increased tenderness indicates the priority to see a dematologist if necessary.

What’s is the difference between IgG and IgM test for HSV.
Male | 28
HSV-specific IgG test is for finding the history or previous infection, while IgM test is for recent or current infection. With IgG antibodies, we can tell if a person has had the HSV before, which provides long-term immunity. While IgM antibodies show that an infection happened recently, IgG antibodies suggest that it occurred a long time ago. HSV-related problems should be diagnosed and treated by consulting a dermatologist or an infectious disease specialist as these specialists are best suited in these cases.

Herpes is a common virus. It causes itchy, painful sores. These blisters often appear around your mouth or private parts. You can get it through close contact. Herpes may seem bad, but doctors can give you antiviral medicine. Using protection during sex helps prevent spreading it too. Good hygiene habits are also key.

Female | 19
A Jock itch is a skin swelling or rash that is caused by a fungus. For fading scars, use creams or ointments prescribed by a doctor. The area should be kept clean and dry.

Am 35 year old Getting white head like pimples on forehead
Female | 35
Those whiteheads on your forehead are probably a type of acne called comedones. The hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin cells. Skin conditions can be accompanied by small, white bumps. One way is to use mild face washes with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide which can help remedy the clogged pores.

I fell asleep outside and got a painful sunburn on my leg. I went to softball practice and got hit in the leg with a softball. Am I allowed to ice it because I thought you couldn't ice a sunburn but it hurts to put pressure on it.
Female | 15
Sunburns are very painful, and getting hit by a softball on top of that is even worse. Applying ice won't harm the sunburn and can help reduce pain and swelling. Wrap the ice in a towel to protect your skin. If the pain is severe or doesn't improve, see a dermatologist for proper treatment.

Fungal infections can lead to an itchy rash in the vaginal and thigh area. The warm and humid climate is an ideal growth environment for fungi. Keep the area dry and clean. You can use antifungal creams available over the counter to help clear it up. Moreover, wearing loose and breathable clothes is also important.

my skin is clear and normal.yet now I didn't use any serums, moisture, sunscreen . Pls suggest me Which one is best for anti-aging, maintain healthy skin for beginners. I have dark under eye . Pls suggest me best
Female | 43
To combat aging, and embrace healthy skin, consider a gentle serum containing Vitamin C. Complement this with a moisturizer infused with hyaluronic acid, and during daytime, apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. Dark under-eye circles? Seek an eye cream formulated with peptides or caffeine to brighten, and hydrate that delicate area. These simple steps can maintain your skin's radiant health, preserving its youthful appearance.
