Hey, I'm 21 I have a wound and it feels bad. It's infected maybe. What can I do?

You may have a cut that has bacteria in it. Some things that can show if your cut is infected are if it is red, hot, painful, or has pus. Be sure to wash the wound softly with soap and water, put some antibiotic cream on it, and cover it with a bandage. Keep an eye on it and go to a doctor if it gets worse.

I am 21 years old and I have severe dandruff and itchy scalp . I used many anti dandruff shampoos but no use.
Male | 21
A common cause of dandruff is yeast which lives on everybody’s skin. Sometimes, if you’re using certain shampoos and they’re not working it’s possibly because your scalp needs something else. Try shampoo with an ingredient such as ketoconazole or salicylic acid in it and be sure to massage this into your head. Doing so should help decrease both the amount of flakes produced by the dandruff and also provide relief from irritation caused by dryness.

I have acne issue i was on medication azikem i took one month dose now mu dermatologist has suggested me to take accutane for 4 months, i dont want to take accutance what should i do can i have azikem for a month again because that safe than taking accutane for months
Female | 19
It's hard to get rid of acne, but Accutane can treat the serious cases. Azikem and Accutane have different mechanisms of action. Azikem targets the bacteria causing acne, while Accutane works by decreasing oil production. If your dermatologist recommends you take Accutane, they believe it is the best course of action for you. Their qualifications and experience should be your guiding principles in this matter if you want to have the best results.

Mere chest me dard ho raha hai or eyes me dard ho raha hai or chicks me dard hai
Male | 18
You're feeling the blood in your chest, your eyes are aching, and tenderness in your cheek area. In some instances, chest pain can be caused by heart problems. The reason behind the eye pain can be either the strain or infection. The cause of cheek pain may be a sinus problem. Ensure that you take breaks, consume water, and do not rub your eyes. If the pain persists, medical assistance should be sought to determine the exact cause and receive the appropriate treatment.

Hypertrophic Acne scar on both sides nose only ...
Male | 25
You seem to have hypertrophic acne scars on both sides of your nose. These raised, bumpy scars happen when too much collagen forms during healing. Treatments like laser therapy or corticosteroid injections can help flatten and soften them. However, you must protect your skin from the sun, as sunlight makes scars more noticeable.

Iam 18 year old my heel is cracking too much and I consult the doctor he said infection your heels then I will test CBC everything good but my wbc is high can you see my report
Male | 18
High levels of white blood cells usually indicate your body is fighting an infection. This could be the reason why your heels are cracking. The usual culprits are fungal infections and conditions such as eczema. Your dermatologist may help by prescribing antifungal creams or may suggest moisturizing regularly to alleviate your heels.

Lesions on pennis , like cuts and skin was ruptured
Male | 24
You might get them from rough handling during sex, infections, or any skin conditions. People get cuts on their penises in many ways. To heal them, you need to wash the area and protect it from getting irritated more. You can also use a plain skin cream without perfume in it. If it does not get better or it gets worse, see a dermatologist right away.

I am having a fissured tongue and fissures in some parts of my cheeks too . I used plain yogurt for 3-4 days and the fissures were almost nil but after a week it seems like the fissures are back . It is getting hard to eat food and even my stomach feels upset.
Male | 43
You are going through a medical condition termed oral fissures, that appear on your tongue and inside your mouth. These cracks could be caused by various things such as dry mouth, infections, or lack of proper diet. Eating plain yogurt might have temporarily stopped them from appearing, but not to bring them back, make sure you drink water, eat soft food, and don't eat spicy or acidic foods. If the fissures still appear, visit a dentist/dermatologist for the necessary checks.

mera white spot hua hai but color utna white nhi hai thik hone me kitna time lagega
Male | 28
Depending on what you are describing, it may be a type of skin disorder called vitiligo. With vitiligo, the cells that make the pigment in the skin are destroyed through the melanocyte process, thereby producing white spots on the skin. It is always best to book an appointment with a dermatologist.

Male | 19
At this age, hair fall and thinning can be upsetting. These problems can be due to various factors like heredity, stress, diet, or hormonal changes. Minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used together to stop hair loss and promote hair growth. It is best to visit a dermatologist to know how often to use them. Starting the treatment is the first step to improving your hair condition, but you should also be patient and wait for some time to see the results.

I have taken vaccine for dog scratch D0 and D3 in May 6th 2024 andMay 9 th 2024,today my cat scratch my hand again. Should I take the vaccine again.
Female | 21
If your cat has scratched you recently, you must know that the dog scratch vaccine does not prevent scratches from cats or other animals. You received the dog scratch vaccine in May but it will not protect you from cat scratches. If you see any scratch site symptoms, redness, swelling, or warmth, especially if it worsens, go to a dermatologist. They may suggest an alternative treatment plan based on your particular situation.

Male | 17
Scabies happens when tiny bugs burrow into the skin. They make you itch a lot, mainly during night hours. Red bumps or lines may show up on your body. To treat scabies, you need a special cream/lotion from a dermatologist applied everywhere. Clothes, bed sheets, and towels must be washed in hot water too. This stops mites from spreading further.

Appearance of acne or continuation of acne beyond 25 years of age is called adult acne. Adult acne is most often associated with hormonal imbalance, stress, inappropriate use of skin care products etc.Most common causes include PCOS in women, insulin resistance, certain drugs etc. Treating the underlying cause is important for desirable results. Thorough history, analysis of skin, review of the drugs used, blood investigations may help a dermatologist understand your skin and make a proper diagnosis for satisfactory results.

I was having balanitis one year back and got treated but later that year me and my girlfriend both got diagnosed with HPV. Now I am is getting cracked foreskin. Due to that it's getting pain whenever gets stretched. Also the skin around the anal area is loosing and looks pinkish without pain.
Male | 28
According to your symptoms, a fungal infection or an irritation might be the reason behind it. The cracked foreskin could result from either the infection or the dryness. The pinkish skin around the anal area might be related. Hygiene is the first thing that must be done to make this area stay clean and dry. Antifungal cream or simple moisturizer may be required. Keep away from strong soaps and wear loose clothes. Drink plenty of liquids and eat a balanced diet to aid the natural healing process.
