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.

My belly button piercing ball has went inside of the hole and my skin has closed up around this, leaving the ball stuck inside my skin. My piercing has been infected for some time now but only today i noticed went inside the hole and the skin has closed up. Should i call 111

You must have a private consultation with a dermatologist or a piercing specialist today. The outcome of piercing-related problems can be life-threatening because the more time you are leaving the infection untreated, the worse it will become.

I am 30 year old ,male and I have jock itch and I had laproscopic surgery for hydroneprosis and jock itch not curing ,what to do ?
Male | 30
Jock itch is the fungal infection which is the most common cause of the groin itching and redness. Since you've gone through surgery for hydronephrosis, you must keep the area well-hygienic and dry to treat jock itch. Using regular antifungal creams you can purchase without a prescription. Do not go for tight-fitting clothes and change into clean, dry ones often. If the jock itch persists, it's advisable to consult your dermatologist for the next steps.

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.

I am a 22 year old sexually inactive lady. I get brownish discharge from my vagina, sometimes non-foul thick whitish discharge as well. My recent problem however is the appearance of bumps on my mons pubis. I initial thought it was shaving bumps but more painful ones are developing. I started using aloe Vera and vitamin c oil to moisturize, the appearance has gotten better, but the bumps are still there. What can I do?
Female | 22
There is a possibility that you had mid-pubic hair ingrown or folliculitis. These could arise from shaving or continuous rubbing against the garment. The brownish, and whitish discharge is probably the result of a different condition. To treat the bumps, you can use warm compresses and stop shaving until they improve. You should see a dermatologist if they last for a long time or if they become worse.

Me and my girlfriend had sex yesterday and now she feels itching during urination. She has a very dry skin.
Female | 24
It seems that your partner has got a urinary tract infection. Sometimes this happens after having sex. It can give a feeling of itchiness and uneasiness when peeing. The problem can even be worse if the skin is dry. Ensure she takes a lot of water to flush out the bacteria. Wearing loose cotton underwear and using a warm pad can help reduce the discomfort. She should visit a urologist.

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.

Pimple problem and hair fall solution
Female | 23
Pimples develop when oil and dead skin cells obstruct hair follicles. Stress, hormonal changes, and insufficient face washing contribute. To address pimples, wash your face twice daily, refrain from picking them, and use gentle products. For hair loss, consume a balanced diet, manage stress, and use mild shampoos. Consulting a dermatologist may also prove beneficial if concerns persist.

I have these red spots on my hands that have been there since July but they have only gotten worse. They are very itchy and my arms and legs are also itchy recently. I thought it might have been something I’ve caught off someone as he also had a skin issue on his hands.
Female | 20
You may have a skin condition called eczema. Eczema can manifest itself as red and itchy spots on hands, arms, and legs. This is not something that you can pick up from another person. Stress, allergies, or dry skin are the factors that make it worse. Gentle moisturizers and avoiding the use of harsh soaps can be safe variations. If it still bothers you, visit a dermatologist.

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.

This may be the said alopecia areata, a condition in which your hair forms spots and then falls. Stress, genetics, and certain illnesses are the underlying causes. The hair grows back in the majority of cases without treatment. If you find it interesting, you can consult a dermatologist, and discuss what might have caused the condition and whether there are options for treatment. ?

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.

Male | 30
This fungi become the ones that colonize on the skin and grow. You may notice red or dry flaky skin due to the infection. People who suffer from this type of problem are usually very itchy. One way to solve that is to apply antifungal creams which your pharmacist can assist you in recommending. It is important to use the area clean and dry. Apart from the creams, if it doesn't become cured, visit a dermatologist.

Spots on your back may often be attributed to different causes such as allergy, skin infection, or a burn. If they cause itching and they are gone in the morning, it probably is a symptom of sensitivity or potential skin problem. To control it, always wear clean clothes and use a light hydrating cream. If, in case, the situation is continuous or worsens, get a dermatologist's consultation. They can help you with the right diagnosis and proper treatment. Take care of your skin and be hopeful!

Itching and discomfort back of ears and hand
Male | 31
You may be having some itching and other issues specifically at the back of your ears and hands. This is often caused by dry skin, allergies, or even certain products. Try relaying to your skin whether it is moisturized enough, using mild soaps, and not wearing irritating clothing. If the problem does not go away when the medication is started, a dermatologist can help you find out the best treatment.

Female | 8
A crack in the heel, arch, and ball of the feet can be painful. This can happen due to dry skin or standing for a long period. Make sure she wears the best comfortable shoes that she has. Apply a thick moisturizing cream daily to keep her feet soft and hydrated. Water is super important too. This will assist in stopping the cracks from coming back. Iif she still has the issue after some time, then see a dermatologist for more advice.
