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.

To day I found pea size lump on my middle of the left neck
Male | 26
A bump in the middle of your neck on the left side might be caused by many different things. Sometimes it may be a swollen gland, an infection, or even a harmless cyst. If it hurts, grows, or causes other symptoms then it’s best to get checked out by a dermatologist. Don’t worry most of the time these lumps aren’t anything serious and can be easily treated.

72 years old male with wart like small multiple pimples on thigh and back for the past 1 week Extreme burning sensation and unable to sleep Wants to attach pic but no option available
Male | 72
These pimples signify an infection called shingles, which takes place due to the emergence of intense burning and blisters on the skin. The incidence of shingles results from the reactivation of the chickenpox virus in your body. Step one in calming down the discomfort and sleeping well is to apply a cool, damp cloth to the damaged areas to cool the burning feeling and consume over-the-counter painkillers. You must see a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis and start the proper treatment.

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.

Male | 20
The scar might come from a small injury or irritation you didn't notice. Since it's not causing discomfort, that's positive. However, monitor the area closely. If it starts bothering you or changes appearance, consulting a dermatologist would be wise.

It's important to pay attention when you notice any changes in the color or appearance of your penis head. To get the right treatment, be sure to see a dermatologist because it might just be due to irritation from chemicals or soaps.

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.

I am 19 years old and I have a sore on my frenulum on my penis, I discovered it when last hard sex because I was feeling the pain and sometimes the pain is also on the on the corona of glans and the neck of glans
Male | 19
It seems like you might be having a sore on your penis in the frenulum, corona of the glans, or neck of the glans. This can result from irritation or small injuries caused by rough sex. One thing you cannot ignore is to give it some rest and not engage in sexual activity for a while. Keeping the afflicted area clean and dry will speed up its recovery. If the problem doesn't subside, and you are concerned about it, then the best thing would be to have it examined by a dermatologist.

It's been a week since i started experiencing itching around my genital area. Gradually, I also started experiencing pain in the penis and there are visible marks that have started appearing. Also, i feel the urge to urinate more frequently than usual.
Male | 23
It sounds like you might be suffering from a urinary tract infection, which is an unlikely condition where bacteria have been introduced to your pee area causing trouble. It may make you feel itchy, and painful during your urination, and even give you a constant urge to urinate more frequently. Consult a dermatologist for proper treatment

It's been a month for me Sore throat and yellow and white blisters on the inner wall of the throat What causes it It only hurts a little while swallowing and it feels like there is something on the inner wall of the throat
Male | 25
You may be suffering from a disease called pharyngitis. It is a high-sounding word that refers to the inflammation of your throat. An infection probably causes yellow and white blisters. This may be caused by either a virus or a bacterium. On the bright side, most cases of pharyngitis tend to be cured independently. Keep drinking a lot of fluids, resting, and gargling with warm salt water to help the pain. If it doesn't get any better after a couple of days, it's a good idea to see a dermatologist for a check-up.

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.
