Ian suffering from Padar thamarai fungal infection and how to cure this problem? And I am not able to eat non veg also.
Female | 44
By Padar Fungal infection it looks like you are talking about fungal infection of the foot which might present with the flaky or itchy sole. Generally it is more on one feet or just affecting one feet. If it is affecting both feet then its asymmetrical. The treatment is you have to wear less of shoes so that sweating is less. Open footwear is most preferable. Topical and oral antifungals is the mainstay treatment but if nail is also involved then treatment has to be taken for the long time so that the reserve side of the infection is treated. Consult a dermatologist for proper consultation.

A small swelling near rectum which seems to be growing a bit. Recently it feels itchy too while walking.
Male | 44
You might be dealing with a hemorrhoid. These are small lumps that form near your rectum and can sometimes get bigger with time. They may also itch or hurt especially when you walk around a lot. Hemorrhoids occur as a result of straining during bowel movements or sitting on the toilet for too long. Eating more fiber, drinking plenty of water, and using creams for relief could help. See a dermatologist if none of this works.

Acne, dullness, and dark spots can be annoying on the dry face. These symptoms may be a result of different factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, or environmental influences. To make your skin better use soft soap for washing, cream for moisturizing and every day wear sunscreen. Moreover keeping to healthy eating habits, drinking enough water and stress control can have a positive impact onto skin. If this doesn't help, visit a dermatologist.

I am having pink dots on hands and face appeared 4 days back .
Female | Pragna
You seem to have a disease of the skin called petechiae that displays its presence as small pink or red dots with breakage of capillary vessels. It happens because of illnesses, certain medications, or just scratching the skin too hard. To heal them, keep your fingers away from the irritated spots, and you should also use a gentle moisturizer. if it does not improve or give any other symptoms consult a dermatologist.

Can I take tetanus injection 4 days after a minor surface scratch on a finger without blood coming out. There's a little redness and pain. I continuously applied handwash and a common antiseptic cream 2-3 times daily since the injury. Now can I take tetanus injection today or am I good?
Male | 26
Cleaning a scratch often with soap and cream is smart. Small cuts can allow tetanus germs inside. Tetanus makes muscles tight and jerky - dangerous. If injured, take the tetanus shot within one to three days. Since it's been four days and your scratch is red and hurts, get the shot today to be secure. That shields you from risks.

Often, a cluster of boils on the buttock region can be attributed to bacteria or immune system dysfunction. A trip to see a dermatologist or infectious disease specialist is an important consideration when trying to figure out the root cause of your problem.

Respected sir, my son name Muhammad Azlan is two years old and has a birth wart on his hips2
Male | 2
Warts are common in kids and are not bad. The wart on your son's hip has a virus called HPV that enters the skin through a tiny cut. Warts can feel rough and may bother him if clothes rub against them. To remove the wart, you can try store treatments like salicylic acid patches or see a dermatologist for other ways.

I had found small red spot with white border they come twice from last 20 days come and go automatically can it's simple or anything
Male | 36
The red spots are minor in most cases and may be due to low-grade skin irritation, or allergic, or insect bites. They will usually heal quickly without the help of medicines. Nevertheless, you should see a dermatologist just to make sure you are okay and your condition is properly diagnosed. They can complete the whole check-up and decide if you need any special type of therapy.

I am 27 year old living in ranchi kanke road , having serious problem of dandruff hairfall and my hair color is changing into white even some part of beard as well. Kindly help me with the treatment.
Male | 27
Dandruff in the scalp is due to excess sebum (natural oil) production along with increased activity of a fungus called Malassezia in the scalp. Antifungal shampoos containing Ketoconazole, Ciclopirox, selenium sulphide can help treat the dandruff. If it is severe, oral antifungals are also prescribed for a short duration. Salicylic acid, coal tar shampoos are also prescribed in case of excess flakiness of scalp. Hair fall may be due to dandruff, nutritional deficiencies, stress or due to genetic factors. It is recommended to visit a dermatologist who can diagnose the cause of hairfall and may suggest treatment accordingly. Trichoscopy of the scalp may help in understanding the nature of the scalp and condition. Nutritional supplements, Capixyl containing serum, Minoxidil solution, oral supplements containing vitamin and minerals are prescribed by the dermatologist to treat the hair loss. Change in hair colour in beard and scalp may be due to nutritional deficiencies or strong hair colours or genetic causes. Dermatologist’s help may be needed to treat the same. Calcium pantothenate containing supplements may help slow down the greying and sometimes restore the colour of hair.

I have a pimple on my lower side of penis, it is there from last 2 months, but from last 3 days it started paining and swelling ( white pus ). Is it normal or I need serious medication. Please help me
Male | 20
It's not normal to have a pimple on the penis for 2 months, especially if it's now painful and swollen with white pus. It might be an infection. Keep the area clean and dry. Avoid picking or squeezing it. Using water that has been warmed or a warm compress can help in soothing it. If you have a condition that doesn't get better or gets worse, it's better to see a dermatologist.

Am having itching reactions in my body
Male | Am 20 years
Itching can occur due to various reasons, such as dry skin, allergies, or insect bites. Common symptoms may include redness, swelling, or irritation. To alleviate discomfort, consider using gentle moisturizers, cool compresses, or over-the-counter antihistamines. Avoid scratching, as this can worsen the irritation. If the condition persists or worsens, it's important to see a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan. Remember, consulting a doctor ensures you receive the best care tailored to your needs.

I am 18 years old teenager and I want to remove tanning from my whole body and I also want to reduce the melanin secretion in my body ..so please prefer me best kojic acid soap for daily use
Male | 18
Tanning is produced by the skin when it absorbs more sunlight. This is the process that involves melanin, a protein that protects the skin. To decrease tanning and melanin, try a kojic acid soap. This soap can decrease the melanin in your skin and thus brighten your skin's color. For best results, use it daily.

How to clean my pimple face
Male | 26
Getting pimples is annoying. They're little bumps caused by blocked pores. Pimples appear red, swollen, sore. Wash face twice daily with gentle soap, warm water. Don't squeeze or pick pimples - it makes them worse. Use creams with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to clear skin.

Does wound sting if you put a NaCL?
Female | 18
If you put salt (NaCl) on a cut it may hurt a bit. The reason for this is that salt is able to kill germs. Therefore if you rub salt in a wound it will only be painful temporarily. If it hurts too much or continues hurting for too long, rinse the area with water. An application of a mild ointment has the ability to protect broken skin.

Pemphigus is an autoimmune disorder in which the safe skin cells are unintentionally assaulted by the immune system, resulting in unbearable blisters and sores. Symptoms may consist of sensitivity, raw spots as well as peeling skin. Treatment generally involves the administration of anti-inflammatory drugs and immune system-suppressing agents like corticosteroids. Adhering to a proper skincare regime is also crucial. It is also important to consult a dermatologist for further opinions.

For vitiligo problem please inform me details
Female | 60
Vitiligo is a skin infection that shows up as white regions on the skin. The main path to getting these is when the skin's melanocyte cells add color. Even though why the cells die is a mystery, for the time being, the immune system might be at fault. A cure for vitiligo doesn't exist, but with therapies such as light therapy or creams, patients can experience some relief. Remember to take care of your skin using sunblock as well. If the condition doesn't improve, please visit a dermatologist.
