It is totally normal to get some pain and abrasions after getting a tattoo, especially when it comes to ankles because ankles have the thinnest skin. But the pain that lingers or gets worse strongly suggests a medical concern. In this case, one should definitely visit a doctor, ideally a dermatologist, in order to exclude or confirm the possibility of infection or an allergic reaction. With your past ankle sprain history, it would be advantageous to talk an orthopedist too, and to watch that the your tattoo is not interfering with the healing process.

Without a physical examination, it is difficult to understand your problem and the cause of it. I advise you to visit a dermatologist for proper diagnosis of your condition. Based on that, he may recommend the right treatment for your problem which can include antibiotic or anti-inflammatory creams.

Stretch marks problm I will remove my stretch marks on few month I can request for you you can suggest a oil to my stretch Mark's to apply

Female | 20

Stretch marks appear when the skin stretches too quickly, like during a growth spurt or pregnancy. They often start as red or purple lines and gradually fade to a lighter color. To reduce their appearance, you can try using oils like almond or coconut oil. Regularly massaging these oils into the affected areas can help keep the skin hydrated and may reduce the visibility of stretch marks over time. Be patient, as noticeable results may take a while to appear.

I have a sensitive skin and an oily face. The products I use always give me skin problems like skin rashes, dark spots and pigmentation. I have a hot caramel skin. I want to know the best products for my skin

Female | 18

You may have some skin issues that can be tough to deal with. If your skin is sensitive and oily, try using mild products without perfumes. Possibly, dark spots, skin rashes and pigmentation could occur due to irritation caused by harsh components in the product you are using. Go for products labeled as non-comedogenic so that they do not block the pores on your face. Also, look for ingredients like niacinamide or hyaluronic acid that will help calm down and moisturize your skin. Always do a patch test before applying any new product to prevent unexpected reactions.

Very Itching scalpe, dandruff problem, hair fall issue

Female | 25

The combination of these symptoms might direct that you have a commonly occurring skin problem called seborrheic dermatitis. Health deterioration may result in the appearance of red, irritated skin, flaking of the skin, and hair loss. The chief drivers of these are oily skin, a yeast type that is a natural inhabitant of the skin, and hormones. Moreover, you can use dandruff shampoo that contains ketoconazole or coal tar. When you are bathing, don't go hard on your hair and make sure you don't sunlight your scalp because it can result in difficult and painful inflammation.

Your son may have accidentally hit you in the face since there is a bruise and some swelling under your eyes. Normally such injuries heal over time so don’t worry too much. If it’s really bad then apply something cold to help with the inflammation as well as taking some over the counter painkillers if needed. If things do not improve within 48 hours please seek medical advice immediately.

Male | 23

Seems like the problem is fungal in the intimate area. This is what's causing the itching and the pimple-like bump. The most important thing is to keep the area clean and dry so the healing can take place. Avoid rubbing or scratching the area as it can make it worse. You can try using an antifungal cream to help clear up the infection. Make sure to wear loose-fitting underwear and don't wear tight clothing as this will result in faster healing of the area.

Male | 32

Yeast infections are often caused by the development of sweat in the skin folds, wearing tight clothing, or improper bathing. It's also recommended to clean the area with water and to dry it thoroughly. You should also try to cut down on fast foods, which are also high in sugar because yeast feeds on sugar.
