Hi, I had sclerotherapy done on Wednesday last week. My veins look a lot worse, they as re purple and more visible, there is no brusing and they are also quite sore to the touch/I can feel tiredness in my legs. My doctor said I may have had an allergic reaction to the therapy because I am on holiday in a hot country (Brazil) and prescribed me an antihistamine. Will the veins eventually fade or will I need more treatment?

Bruising and discomfort after sclerotherapy are natural which normally resolves within a few days. But since you said your veins look worse and are more visible after the procedure could indicate a complication. It's good that you have already spoken with your doctor, but still experiencing discomfort or have any concerns, follow up with them promptly. 

 

In some cases the veins may fade on their own over time, but if the issue is related to the sclerotherapy procedure, additional treatment can be needed. Its best to follow up with your doctor to discuss your options and determine the best treatment.

Sporicine and Azithromycin are antibiotics commonly used to treat bacterial infections. However, the correct treatment depends on the type of infection you have. It is best to consult a physician or infectious disease specialist to determine the proper medication and dosage for your condition.

I'm 18 years old ,I started using salicylic acid face wash on my face three weeks ago ,now I wanna stop that , because I can't see my skin purging at a level ,soo what will happen after that and can I use niacinamide serum to clear my skin from purging?

Female | 18

It’s normal for your skin not to have an immediate breakout when you quit using a salicylic acid cleanser. Different people have different experiences with purging. A niacinamide serum may be beneficial in clearing your skin. Reducing redness and improving skin texture are some of the things niacinamide can do. Ensure you follow the directions on the package and be patient for results.

Ringworm on hips last 6 months, diabetic also.

Female | 49

You might have got ringworm on your hips. Ringworm is a fungal infection that can cause a problem on the skin. People with diabetes are at risk of getting it. Symptoms consist of patches on your skin that are red, itchy, and scaly. To treat it, you can use antifungal creams or ointments, but it's important to keep your blood sugar levels in check to help your body fight the infection.

Fungal infection not cure for long time after taking medicine, frequently occurr on skin on butt side

Female | 32

Fungal infections can make your skin red, itch, and sometimes hurt. These infections usually like to grow in warm and moist places, so butt skin can be the common spot. To help mop it up, keep the area clean and dry, wear loose clothes, and apply antifungal creams or powders that the pharmacist recommends. To get it if it still comes back, you may need a stronger prescription from the doctor to get rid of it.

Got a human bite during a fight. It has made 5 bruise marks of teeth. Wanted to ask if tetanus injection is required

Male | 14

Getting a human bite­ might seem harmless, but it re­quires care. Five te­eth bruise marks signal potential te­tanus risk. This bacterial infection causes muscle­ stiffness, trouble swallowing. Don't delay consulting your doctor if bitte­n. They'll likely recomme­nd a tetanus shot as preventive­ measure.
