How can I treat a bacterial toe infection at home?

Patient's Query

Hi mam! I had been facing a bacterial infection around the gaps of my toes. Yesterday the pus was coming out of it and now it's swollen and painful. I can't walk properly from last 2 weeks because of it. I tried a lot to cure it by soaking my legs in hot water and applying normal moisturizer cream.

Hi my name is Robin. I am really interested in PRP. I would like to know about the cost for PRP for hair and what kind of medicine and topical solution do you offer with PRP SESSIONS ? Thank you

Male | 28

PRP therapies are an excellent choice when done after proper examination. What is more important than the cost is to know that the examinations actually give a clear indication for it, and without which it's impossible to tell how many sessions will actually be required.

A two and half months course of prp and laser therapies costs approximately 20 thousand rupees.

Single session can cost up to 3500 Rs.
You may connect with any dermatologist for hair transplant in surat.

In the past 5 months I have been suffering from fever and cold along with a lot of weakness and My hair was very thick before and now it has fallen out a lot.

Female | 18

You're experiencing a combination of symptoms that could be related to an underlying health issue. Persistent fever, cold, weakness, and significant hair loss over several months can sometimes point to problems like nutritional deficiencies, thyroid issues, or even an infection. It's important to consult a general physician or an endocrinologist who can evaluate your symptoms properly and suggest the right treatment.

There are small tini black balls in my pubic area rising and spreading to Pinus and all pubic area with no feel of pain or irritation i can share picture what is this and how it be treated..

Male | 25

These could be seborrheic keratosis, folliculitis, or similar benign conditions, which are not usually painful. However, without proper examination, it's difficult to provide a definitive diagnosis. Treatment may range from topical solutions to minor procedures, depending on the exact nature. I strongly recommend scheduling an appointment with a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and personalized advice.

I had chicken pox 2 years back and the mark of chicken pox was left on my hand, 2 days back I had dipped cotton inside dettol and wrapped that on the mark. When I opened it yesterday I had 2 bubbles beside those marks on my skin

Male | 16

You may have gotten sores next to the chickenpox scars on your hand. These sores might be caused by irritation or infection. Do not scratch or pop these sores because doing so can make them more infected. Clean and dry the area. Using a soothing lotion or getting checked out by a dermatologist would also help to prevent complications.

How many hair is good for transplant and how i should be caring? explain some major factor behind hair fall and ways to control it.

Male | 28

The number and type of graft you get will depend on your hair type, quality, color, and the size of the area where you will be getting the transplant. In general, the number of grafts for FUE hair transplant in one sitting of 6-8 hours, can go up to 2500-3000.

If you have a higher level of baldness, then you might need another session. However, it's the doctor who will decide how many grafts will be transplanted each day. You can reach out to me or any other dermatologist for hair transplant in Bangalore, or other cities wherever you reside.

Male | 23

Maybe it has to do with heat, scratching, an allergic reaction, or an ailment. Staying sterilized and using a lotion will make the dryness go away. But, you may have noticed these marks change or spread so you must consult with a dermatologist. A doctor will accurately evaluate the situation and advise suitable treatments.

I suggest that you visit a dermatologist who is capable of diagnosing the type and level of the fungal infection. The treatment plan will be based on the diagnosis. Prescription of the suitable antifungal medication will be done followed by advice on hygiene practices to prevent further infection.

Hair fall Delivery ke bad bahut ho rha hai hair fall

Female | 28

Women usually have hair loss after childbirth. It is the result of hormonal changes in our bodies. Do not worry; it is a normal and passing situation. In addition to hair loss, you may also experience fatigue and stress. It is better to eat good food, get enough sleep and manage your stress. Mild hair care and avoiding chemicals also work out the problem.

I took two pills of Isotroin 20 two days ago. Could that cause a delay in my period? My period is actually 7 days late. What should I do?

Female | 27

The Isotroin 20 medicine shouldn't be a reason for a woman to have a late period. Nevertheless, anxiety, alterations in your routine, or some other medications could be responsible. Sometimes, missing a period is okay and it's not a reason for worry. If you have been late for your period for a long time, it is a good idea to take a pregnancy test. If you see other strange symptoms or your period is late for a long time, think about going to your gynecologist for a checkup.

I have been have an itching sensation whenever i bath on my penis and sometimes when i take a pee, what can this be, recently there were red spots , small ones on the penis head but after a day they just disappeared , what can this be and any medication for it

Male | 24

You’ve got the symptoms of a disease called balanitis. This may be associated with symptoms such as nausea, red spots, and pain when urinating. Balanitis can often be due to a lack of proper hygiene, an allergy to soaps or laundry detergents, or a yeast or bacterial infection. As one of the options to get rid of the itching and irritation, the area should be softly washed with warm water and mild soap. Steer clear of the harsh chemicals and tight clothing. The symptoms are still there, see a dermatologist for more tests and treatment.

I am 18 years old l have used many medicines for acne but haven't changed what should I do?

Female | 18

Acne occurs when the pores get clogged with oil and bacteria. Having a bunch of medications and no benefits can be a terrible thing. It is crucial to keep in mind that everyone's skin is unique. Often an easy skincare program using mild products is the right route. Eliminate harsh chemicals and see a dermatologist to provide you with individualized recommendations.

I have acne prone skin which food is good for me and which food cam worse my acne suggest me some foods so I can cure my acne without Applying pharmacy products

Female | 20

Fruits, vegetables, and grains are very good for your skin. These products contain vitamins and antioxidants that can benefit your skin. Conversely, belief in a protective factor suggests that hormones like androgens cause acne, and poor lifestyle habits by consuming greasy or sweet fatty foods might make acne worse. Drink more water. It is the best way to keep acne away since it purifies your skin. A balanced diet is the most effective means of controlling acne.

In October my neck get burn blisters made then skin peel off now i have light brown skin with dark patches can you tell me how much time its take to fade or any kaser treatment

Female | 24

It sounds like you've experienced a significant skin reaction, possibly from sunburn or irritation. The brown and dark patches are often a result of healing or hyperpigmentation, which can take several weeks to months to improve. Topical treatments, like hydroquinone or retinoids, may help lighten these areas. Gentle sun protection is also crucial during this time. I recommend visiting a dermatologist for a tailored treatment plan, as they can provide targeted therapies and further assessment. Your skin will gradually heal, so please be patient and seek professional guidance to ensure the best care for your situation.

Male | 17

Vitiligo is a skin condition in which white patches appear on your skin due to the loss of pigment cells. You are applying Melbild lotion and Tacroz Forte, which can contribute to the pigmentation process on your skin. If you are not seeing any improvements after 6 months, you should probably consider discussing other treatment options with your dermatologist. Unfortunately, there is no remedy for white hair, but you can try using hair dyes to cover them up.

What is the best treatment for vitiligo? Benifit between Pototherapy or oral medication for vitiligo treatment

Female | 27

Vitiligo makes your skin lose color in patches. Cells that produce pigment stop functioning, leading to white spots. Treatment choices are phototherapy and medicines. Phototherapy uses light to restore pigmentation. Oral medications help regain skin color. A dermatologist can recommend treatment after assessing your condition. Phototherapy and medication are effective options. Discuss with your doctor to choose the right approach.

I am arpita im 17 years old my skin suffering from dullness nd even skin tone nd not even glow nd hydration

Female | 17

It seems like your skin is not glowing and lacks moisture. These issues may be due to other reasons such as lack of proper hydration, non-use of sunscreen, or dry location. One of the best things to do in this respect is to ensure that your skin takes in enough water, use a good moisturizer that is not too harsh, and eat a healthy diet by including fruits and vegetables. Use sunblock when outdoors to keep your skin protected from the sun. These actions may improve your skin and consequently, you may have radiant skin.

I am 29 year old female with face of black spots only on cheeks and small bumps on forehead. I do take high riority in akin care and limited all the products. I use anti bacterial face wash, spf 30, ice bath, turmeric face mask and at night I use clindamycin 1% (Clear gel). My skin becomes dry, but if I use mousturizer then its a acne burst out next day. So, I was my face 10 to 20 times with only water out of which couple of times with soap.

Female | 29

The black spots may be due to previous acne or sun exposure, while the bumps on your forehead could indicate blocked pores. Gently cleansing and using antibacterial products can help, but over-washing may irritate your skin further. Instead, consider a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer to combat dryness without clogging pores. It’s essential to have a balanced skincare routine. I recommend consulting a dermatologist for tailored advice and possible treatments, ensuring you address these concerns effectively and safely.
