Can I Use Methylprednisolone for Jellyfish Sting Scars?

Hello! I am 29-year-old female, got stung by a jellyfish on 6th September in my right leg, pain was quite severe, we went to the emergency, I got some painkillers, now I use local and oral antihistamines, but the scars are still there and sometimes there is swelling and itching. No pain anymore. What else should I do? Is local methylprednisolone a good idea? Can I go to the swimming pool and/or run?

Jellyfish stings are common and can leave scars, swelling, and itching even after the pain subsides. Applying antihistamine creams can help with itching and oral antihistamines are recommended for swelling. If symptoms persist, a local methylprednisolone injection may be considered. It's best to avoid swimming and running until the scars heal to prevent further irritation.

Hello My name is simran actually my outer part of vulva area is infected and now it's itching alot

Female | 23

You may have a yeast infection. It can be responsible for such problems as itching, redness, and sometimes a thick discharge. Antibiotics, tight clothing, or a weakened immune system can be blamed for yeast infections. You can buy antifungal creams over-the-counter can ease the itching and help you get rid of the infection. You should be wearing only cotton underwear and avoiding those products with scents to ensure you are not further irritating the area.

Last night, while masturbating, i got a friction burn (of a size of pea) on my glans penis & it became reddish .... my semen came in contact with it for some minutes.... will it lead to the formation of anti sperm antibodies?

Male | 25

A friction burn on the­ penis head can make it re­d and uncomfortable, especially if se­men touches it. Howeve­r, the risk of developing anti-spe­rm antibodies from this is low. To aid healing, ke­ep the area cle­an and avoid further irritation. If you notice any unusual symptoms or concerns, it's always wise­ to seek medical advice­.

Hello, I am 24 years old, I actually wanted to know if dermaplaning is good for my face and is their any side effects after doing that. Also I wanted to know the cost of dermaplane for my face. Thankyou!

Female | 24

Dermaplaning is helpful in decreasing wrinkles, acne and fine lines. But to know whether you are eligible or not for it, you need to visit a dermatologist. Based on your skin type and condition, the doctor will tell whether dermaplaning is suitable for you or not. And talking about the cost, it depends on the area that needs treatment and it also depends on the doctor and the clinic.

Which treatment is best for vitiligo in children below 5 years, homeopathy, ayurveda, or allopathy? What treatment is given to kids for focal vitiligo above lips?

Male | 3

The best treatment for vitiligo in children below 5 years old would depend on the severity of the condition. Generally, topical corticosteroids are the most commonly used treatment for vitiligo in children, and they are used in combination with other treatments like phototherapy, topical calcineurin inhibitors, and systemic immunomodulators. For focal vitiligo above the lips, the treatment of choice is usually topical corticosteroids. Additionally, topical immunomodulators and phototherapy can be used in combination with topical corticosteroids to improve the effectiveness of the treatment. Homeopathy, ayurveda, and other alternative treatments can be used in conjunction with conventional treatments, but should be discussed with a doctor before starting.

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.

Sir I had fungal infection so I used derobin gel and now my skin is black though my fungal infection gone...but there is black pigmentation on my skin on stomach how to remove that

Male | 24

You may have hyperpigmentation after inflammation, which is a consequence of skin inflammation such as a fungal infection. The dark color of the skin is the result of the skin's recovery mechanism. A gentle exfoliating scrub or a vitamin C-rich skin-brightening cream are examples, you can fade the pigmentation by trying them. It is important to use an SPF product as UV rays can aggravate the pigmentation.

Iam harshith Iam suffering from pimples in my forehead I consulted a doctor he said me to use this skin cream iam using betamethasone VALERATE and NEOMUCIN SKIN CREAM BETNOVATE-N please tell me what should I do for this pimples

Male | 14

Having pimples on your forehead is a nuisance, but using Betnovate-N cream with Betamethasone Valerate and Neomycin helps. These substances can reduce inflammation and kill the bacteria causing the pimples. Make sure you apply the cream as prescribed by your doctor. Additionally, washing your face regularly to keep it clean and avoiding oily products can prevent more pimples.

I am a 18 year old male and im concuabout having hsv 1 and hsv 2, i was a little worried about what they look like because i saw something that looked unusual in both places.

Male | 18

It's important to get examined by a healthcare professional, like a dermatologist or a urologist, to diagnose any concerns regarding HSV-1 or HSV-2 accurately. Avoid self-diagnosis based on appearance, as it can be misleading. Early detection and proper medical guidance are crucial for managing any potential infections.
