Persistent Swollen Lower Lip in 12-Year-Old Boy

Hi my 12 year old boy has a swollen lower lip that's been swollen for months

1 Answer

Answered on 6th Aug '24

A swollen lowe­r lip lasting months isn't normal. It's wise you seek advice­. Swelling could result from various causes: alle­rgies, infections, or harmless growths, making e­ating and talking difficult. To receive prope­r treatment, consult a dermatologist. They'll identify the­ precise cause, providing suitable­ care. Swelling could stem from an alle­rgic reaction to something you ate or use­d. Or it could indicate an infection requiring antibiotics.

I got acne on whole face first there is pimple and it convert into mark or acne . Or having white spot ,uneven tone the texture is very bad like hyperpigmentation.

Female | 23

Pimples occur when oil and dead skin cells block hair follicles thus leading to a condition called acne. The marks are usually a result of inflammation in the skin. Instances that can be white spots and not consistent in color are marks of hyperpigmentation. Be gentle to your skin, do not pick your skin, and use products with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide.

Hello sir /ma'am From the past 3 months i was using elosone ht skin cream over my knee areas, because of the sun exposure my knee became very dark and they were looking very odd. That's why i was using it in my knee areas only, also it was having visible results. 4 5 days back i saw my knees and suddenly i was in shock. My knees are looking very scary. The area where i use to apply the cream the whole area is covered with a dark patch which is 2x darker than before i had. Please help me it is looking very scary and i can't even wear shorts due to this.

Female | 18

The cream you were using might have led to the development of a skin condition known as skin atrophy which causes the skin to become thin and darker. This can occur if certain steroid creams are applied for an extended duration on sensitive areas like the knees. It's vital to discontinue the cream instantly and see a dermatologist for a thorough examination and advice on how to improve the skin condition.

I am 21 can i eligible for hair transplant?

Male | 21

One of the factors that influence eligibility for a hair transplant includes age. Although there is no strict age limit, the stability of your hair loss pattern should be considered. Typically, hair transplants will be recommended for individuals whose menu of baldness is stabilizing around their late 20’s or older; this gives them a better sense about what the future patterns would look like. Furthermore, overall health, availability of donor hairs and rational expectations surrender to a decision on eligibility.

some allergy suddenly arised from my body it caused my finger and arm swallow

Female | 17

When certain allergies occur, body parts tend to swell. This might have been caused by contact with something like a plant or chemical that does not agree with you. Ensure the affected area is washed properly. To reduce the swelling, you can use an antihistamine. Seek immediate medical attention if things get worse or if you find it hard to breathe.

While cutting pubic hairs down there, I have cut myself from scissors. Can this cause tatnus. What should I do?

Female | 27

Tetanus disease comes with some toxic dirty cuts that make swallowing very hard as well as stiffness of muscles generally. Such people should ensure the scratch is germs-free by washing it with water and soap and then applying any antiseptic. One should also note that if you have not had any tetanus vaccination within the last ten years, make sure it is done as soon as possible to prevent further infections.

how to cure my body odor. l have tried everything and nothing seems to work. such as different soaps, exfoliating gloves, apple vinegar vinegar

Female | 15

Bacteria on the skin mix with sweat, causing odor. Certain foods can worsen body odor. Using aluminum deodorant helps reduce sweating. Shower daily and wear breathable fabrics. Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet. Body odor isn't a complex issue—keeping clean is key. However, since bacteria are always present, it's important to combat odor daily.

Hello I'm chandana from India and I'm 25 years old.I have been struggling with numerous facial skin issues, including dark spots, large open pores, pimples, wrinkles, fine lines, and marks, for the past nine years. Despite trying various products, nothing has proven effective. As a result, I am losing confidence in social situations, and I feel that people are not favorably inclined toward me. I seek a solution to these persistent problems.

Female | 25

I understand your concerns about facial skin issues. It's important to see a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. They can offer targeted solutions for dark spots, open pores, pimples, wrinkles, fine lines, and marks. A dermatologist may recommend treatments like chemical peels, laser therapy, or prescription medications. They will also help you establish a skincare routine suited to your skin type.
