You may have suffered trauma to your labia. The scratches and bleeding can make the situation worse by causing dryness and irritation which will result in swelling and itching. The white discharge having a metallic smell might suggest that you have an infection. It's vital to refrain from using creams if you don't know the cause. Gently washing with water and wearing loose clothes can help. Proper diagnosis and treatment should be the first step you consider seeing a gynecologist for.

I have some issues with my mouth. Suddenly small bumps inside my mouth appears

Female | 19

You may have­ little bumps in your mouth. They might be canke­r sores, common issues that often he­al themselves. Eating and spe­aking could feel uncomfortable due­ to the bumps. Reasons could include stre­ss, injury, or certain foods you've eate­n. Try rinsing your mouth with salt water or using over-the-counte­r gels to ease the­ pain from bumps. Avoid spicy, acidic foods that can irritate them further.

i have dead skin constantly pealling off my toes and a couple of cuts at the bottom of each toe and in-between the toes too

Male | 43

You probably deve­loped athlete's foot. This fungal infe­ction grows between toe­s, warm and moist spots. Peeling skin signifies it. Cuts are­ another symptom. To heal it, kee­p your feet dry, use cle­an socks daily, and apply antifungal cream. Clearing it take­s time. Be patient. Stick with the­ treatment regime­n.

I just want to ask can i go to solarium today if i have a magnetic resonance in 2 days? i mean because of radiation, is it related or not allowed

Female | 21

It is not recommended to go to a solarium before your MRI scan, which is a tanning bed that is more powerful than a normal one. The rays from the solarium can affect how clear the scan will be sometimes. It’s like taking a picture with a dirty lens – things might not turn out sharp. If you are worried about anything, you should avoid the solarium and speak to your doctor about any further concerns.

Itching eczema or dermatitis

Male | 24

When your skin feels itchy, turns red and sometimes swells up it's called itching eczema or dermatitis. This could happen if your skin is sensitive to things such as soap, fabrics even stress. To relieve the condition, consider mild bathing soaps, and gentle moisturizers as well as resist scratching at all costs. If this doesn’t work out then you should see a dermatologist who can prescribe some special creams

i have vein type structure on my penis glans from 3 months. what's that?

Male | 22

If you notice some vein-like structures on your penis glans, those are likely just normal blood vessels that have become more visible. You may notice this more during arousal. Usually, it’s not anything to worry about and doesn’t need treatment. However, if they are causing you pain or discomfort, or if they have appeared suddenly, it would be best for you to see a doctor so they can be evaluated further.

My face is burn from sun please give advice

Male | 32

Sunburn can happen when your skin gets too much sunlight. It may feel red, hot, and painful. To cool the sunburn, you can try putting cool cloths and aloe vera gel on your skin. Avoid sun exposure until your skin has healed. Drink plenty of water to help your skin recover faster. Always use sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun.

I have red dots on my shaft (penis) and I can't figure out what they are, I've looked at pictures (regrettably) and none of them look like what I have. My first thought was pimples/acne, because I haven't had a good shower schedule nor have I had a good diet, but they don't look like pimples, they have black dots in the middle. I don't think it's itchy, at least the 4-5 bumps on the shaft, but I have maybe 2 or 3 on my scrotum that itch though. I thought bugs might be the issue but I've thoroughly checked my room and there are none. In terms of how they look, they're red, no white, 1 has black in the middle (maybe a growing hair?). I don't think it's any STIs since me and my girlfriend haven't had sex/sexual contact in months, it doesnt look like most of the ones i looked up, and this is only appearing now. I just don't know what to do about this and I need help diagnosing since I don't have the money for a doctors appointment.

Male | 18

It seems you're showing some alarming symptoms. The red bumps with black centers may be due to folliculitis (inflamed hair follicles), burn or a mild fungal disorder. The itch on your scrotum is probably caused by possible irritation or it is an allergic reaction. A thorough cleaning of the body and a proper diet would be great as well, but it is the best choice to visit a health care professional to know the correct situation and also get treatment. They have the capability to provide the relevant care and the necessary reassurance. As health should be your priority, always think about getting assistance when you have a problem.

I have dark spots on my face and it seems like Lichen Planus and how can I verify it?

Male | 23

Seeing a dermatologist for dark spots on your face is recommended to know what causes them. Lupus perchance is a skin disease with dark spots which no one can tell accurately unless a doctor does
