Ringworm is a common infection caused by a fungus that can result in red circular patches on the skin. The most effective method for treating this condition is by using antifungal shampoos or creams. Ensure that you keep your scalp clean and dry so as not to transmit it to anyone else by sharing hats or combs. If non-prescription medications fail to work, seek medical attention from a dermatologist.

Just wanna know something,my upper lip is tanned whole the lower is pink which looks weird,want to know what to do in this situation!!

Male | 18

A tanned upper lip and pink lower lip might seem perplexing, but it’s pretty common. The simplest explanation would be sun exposure since our upper lips are generally more affected by the sun than our lower ones are. To tan less and protect your lips, you should always apply sunscreen before going out into the sun; if you want extra protection, use SPF lip balm as well. Eventually, the colors will even themselves out.

My father is suffering from scrotum enlarged issue . So suddenly we have admitted him in tata main hospital but after some test (x ray . sonography of scrotum, ultrasound of abdominal, eco , ) he found scrotum wall cellulitis issue and giving him medicine and antibiotics for cellulitis infection . But still it's been 5 days we have not found any improvement of my father health .

Male | 61

It's natural to worry when there is no improvement, Scrotal wall cellulitis usually pops up with some redness and discomfort. Similarly, known causes can be due to infection from bacteria. Usually, the ways we can provide relief by the use of antibiotics but not everyone go smooth at the beginning of recovering. In case your father does not exhibit any positive signs after 5 days, this is a valuable time for him to get a check-up with his doctors. They can do all the necessary examinations and propose some treatments that might help him. On the other hand, a doctor's surveillance and prescription are important if you want to cope with such infections.

How do I get rid of purple stretch marks on bum.

Female | 14

Stretch marks on the­ bum are pretty normal. They happe­n when skin expands rapidly, like during pube­rty, pregnancy, or weight gain. Basically, the marks form whe­n deeper laye­rs tear. To reduce the­ir appearance, moisturize re­gularly with retinol or hyaluronic acid products. Proper nutrition and hydration can lend a hand too. Ke­ep in mind, fading takes time, so stick with the­ routine patiently. The marks look purple­ at first, but gradually lighten over months.
