I think my belly button piercing is infected
Female | 16
If your belly button piercing appears to be infected, the signs may include redness, pain, heat, swelling, or pus discharge. You can get an infection if you fail to clean your piercing well or you touch it with dirty hands. To assist this, gently clean it with saline solution and avoid using harsh products on the area. Also, do not remove any jewelry from inside the piercing until advised otherwise by a professional. Visit a dermatologist if there is no improvement.

I am a 19 year old female. I have had a red patch on the inside of my upper lip for around 4 and a half weeks that hasn’t gone. Sometimes it’s painful, and it regularly tastes metallic. I’m not sure what this is or how to treat it
Female | 19
You may be dealing with a condition called oral lichen planus, which can cause painful red spots in your mouth that taste metallic. Don't worry, it's not contagious. The exact cause is unknown, it might be linked to the immune system. To ease the discomfort, avoid hot or sour foods and use mild mouth rinses while keeping your mouth clean. If these tips don't help or your symptoms worsen, make an appointment with a dermatologist to get a proper diagnosis and discuss further treatment options.

My son is 4.5 years and is having skin rashes since 1 year, in his knee, back, lower stomach and underarms. We have consulted skin specialist and applied futibact, tacroz and neoaporin ointments, but once we stop futibact the rashes return after a week and increase
Male | 4
The boy seems to have atopic dermatitis also called as atopic eczema. The care is utmost important in his case as the skin is dry and prone to rashes as well as infection. steps should be taken to keep his skin moist at all times. Start by oiling him before bath, use mild cleansers, and apply moisturizers immediately after bath so as to retain water and seal it inside his skin. The flutibact is for immediate reduction of rashes. Start using tacrolimus cream once a week to prevent further rashes. The flutibact is a steroid and antibiotic combination cream, and therefore has to be used judiciously. Please meet a pediatric dermatologist for more information regarding this problem

Can I use benzoyl peroxide 2.5% concentration ointment
Male | 13
The typical usage of Benzoyl peroxide 2.5% ointment is for acne treatment. It can be of tremendous use in getting rid of the microorganisms on the skin surface that could cause acne eruptions. Overproduction of oil, clogged pores, and bacteria are the most rampant causes of acne. Benzoyl peroxide when used as prescribed by a dermatologist will help decrease the number of bacteria on the skin, which in turn will aid in the improvement of the acne symptoms.

I am in a constant state of allergy/sinus attacks. Just about everyday and if not everyday, ever other, I’m congested sneezing running nose and constant irritation to my face along with my face feeling hot. I have cats but have had them for 5 years and this is just now a problem within the last 10 months.
Female | 24
You might be suffering from allergies - which could be the main reason for your never-ending sinus problems. Allergies can arise at any moment, even though you have become accustomed to living with your cat for a long time. The cat dander might be the one causing your symptoms to flare up. One way to improve your condition is to use an air purifier, keep your home tidy, and take the antihistamines prescribed by a dermatologist.

I am 25 i see blisters(sores) on my cheek looks like hsv 1 Please provide medication
Male | 25
If you notice fever blisters on your face, it's likely caused by the HSV-1 virus, which is highly contagious through touch. These blisters can come and go, sometimes causing pain. Taking tablets like Acyclovir can help ease the symptoms and speed up healing. It's crucial not to pop or touch the blisters to prevent spreading the virus. Keep the affected area dry and clean to avoid infection. Visiting a dermatologist for proper treatment is a good idea.

Female | 17
You may have a medical condition known as hives. They usually cause an itchy rash that comes and goes within a couple of minutes. They are sometimes caused by allergies, stress, or infections. Over-the-counter antihistamines and triggering agent avoidance, like certain foods or products, can help with the itching. If hives are still there or getting worse, a visit to dermatologist would be good.

You have a lump below your left ear where your jaw meets your neck. This could be a swollen lymph node, often due to infections, or a lipoma, which is a harmless fatty lump. If it's not painful or growing quickly, it's usually not a serious issue. However, it's best to see a dermatologist to rule out any problems.
