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.

Tangan bengkak selepas vaksin COVID dah CT scan Masih bengkak

Female | 21

Pembengkakan pada tangan selepas pengambilan vaksin COVID-19 boleh terjadi akibat reaksi normal sistem imun. Ini biasanya termasuk kesakitan, kemerahan, atau bengkak di kawasan suntikan. Jika simptom berlanjutan walaupun selepas CT scan, penting untuk memastikan tiada jangkitan atau komplikasi lain. Anda boleh meredakan bengkak dengan kompres sejuk dan mengangkat tangan yang terjejas. Namun, jika keadaan tidak bertambah baik atau paling teruk, adalah bijak untuk berjumpa doktor bagi mendapatkan penilaian lanjut. Kesihatan anda adalah keutamaan, dan mendapatkan nasihat profesional adalah langkah terbaik.

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

Female | 16

Face warts come from a virus that spreads from person to person. It’s very contagious within families. Although warts aren’t serious, they can be annoying. Special creams, freezing, or laser treatment can be used to remove them. However, they may return later. You should talk with a dermatologist about what will work best for you.

I have mlasma and pigmentation on my face. I have used many products but it has not made any difference. Now my cheeks are turning red. Please tell me a solution for this. And this pigmentation was caused by pregnancy.

Female | 35

It sounds like you're experiencing melasma, a common condition often worsened by hormonal changes during pregnancy. This can result in dark patches and increased sensitivity, causing redness in your cheeks. I recommend consulting a dermatologist who can assess your skin and suggest effective treatments, such as prescription creams or gentle peels, tailored to your needs. In the meantime, using broad-spectrum sunscreen daily can help protect your skin.
