You may be having a skin reaction to the things you put on your wound. This has formed a stain on your knee. Temporary things like turmeric, garlic, and mustard oil can be used on the wound but may cause skin irritation. To facilitate the healing, discontinue those substances and keep the area clean. You may also find some relief by applying a light moisturizer. If it doesn't get better, see a dermatologist for more help.

I'm 22 years old male. I have some fungal infections in my hip and my leg in almost 18+ months. I have some skin care creams but not cure

Male | 22

A persistent fungal infection is quite often the cause of discomfort, it may be accompanied by itching, redness and flaking of the skin. Among the very common causes are exposure to moisture, hot conditions, and touching surfaces that are infected with fungus. Sometimes, it is not enough to merely find an over-the-counter cream that gives you temporary relief; it can well be improved, but sometimes a total solution is still impossible. My choice is the use of complex treatments that may be also over the counter, for example, antifungal drugs given on doctor’s recommendation along with making sure cleanliness and the affected areas are kept dry. A visit to the doctor often is the time for specific ways of dealing with the situation and also for quicker management of the condition. You are not alone in it. If you are still hesitating, remember that professional help can actually solve your problems very brilliantly.

My son has redish spots on the body feeling swear itching and burrowing with swelling.

Male | Roshaan

Your son might have a skin condition called hives. These are small, pinkish-red, itchy lumps that appear on the skin. Hives are generally caused by a person's allergic reaction to specific types of food, or drugs, or by bug bites. Give him an antihistamine that will alleviate the itchy skin and reduce the swelling. Moreover, you should search for the elements that cause the hives to not occur the rest of the time.

I have this white patches like something in my inner thighs. Like near my private part. It's not very smooth but kind of smooth and itchy. It seems like it's spreading

Female | 19

The symptoms are smooth, white patches, as well as itchy. It is caused by a yeast growing on the skin. For that reason, you can get medicine that is not prescribed that eradicates fungi on the skin. Keep the place clean and dry. Try not to share personal items with other people. Make sure the area is kept clean so as not to cause an infection to others.

Pimple and Pimple marks in face

Female | 27

Pimple marks are small bumps that can be red, swollen, or have pus, the pinky-gray of the skin. These things are generated when the pores become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Pimple marks are dark or red spots left behind after a pimple goes away. In order to reduce your chances of getting pimples, you should wash your face regularly, stay away from oily products, and never pick or squeeze the pimples. Apply products that contain benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to treat them.

I am 20years old I just started going through gental wart and I already start using drug and cream but I notice serious burning or painful side effect on my virginal so what onniment or drug can I used to reduce or eliminate the pain

Female | 20

The burning or pain you might be feeling is from the drugs you are using. To relieve the discomfort, you can use a mild soothing cream such as Vaseline or aloe vera gel which will help to ease the irritation and give some relief. Ensure that the region is kept dry and clean to quicken the healing process.

My boyfriend has an infected wound in his calf which started of as a small itchy spot that later became a red spot and later an infected wound that's made his the surrounding area swollen right down to his ankles. The glands in his groin are now painful too. Please advise what type of antibiotic would be suitable for this?

Male | 41

Your boyfriend may have a severe skin infection that’s spreading. The redness, swelling, and pain—coupled with swollen glands in the groin—indicate that it might be a bacterial infection. To cure this, he may require a course of antibiotics such as penicillin or cephalosporin which can help to fight off the infection. It is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible to avoid further complications.
