What to do for fingernail coming off after injury?
Hi, My little finger got injured a few days back. There was no cut or bleeding but there was pus coming from it for couple of days. I did not use any medicine. Now it heeled completely and I do not have any pain. But the fingernail is starting to come off. What should I do?

Your finger got an infection and that’s why there was pus. The pus most likely helped to fight off the infection in your body though. Once your finger has healed, it’s common for the nail to come off occasionally. A new one will grow back. Keep the area clean and covered. However, if it looks infected again or you are worried about anything else then it’s always best to get it checked out by a dermatologist.

I have got foreskin infection. I tried various tropical creams, and it keeps coming back. Its been over a year now. The foreskin and veins are reddish and a burning sensation when i touch it.
Male | 26
The symptoms you are talking about, like redness, burning sensation, and recurring infection, might be caused by a disease called balanitis. Balanitis is the inflammation of the foreskin. The reasons may be poor hygiene, tight foreskin, or infections. To get better, keep the area clean, avoid using harsh soaps, and see a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

Can i get hpv from sharing clothes , towels or my personal items or objects from someone who has genital warts ?
Male | 32
Genital warts are caused by a virus known as HPV. It is impossible to be infected with HPV through the sharing of clothes, towels, or objects of personal hygiene. The most common way for HPV to spread is through skin-to-skin contact, usually during sexual activity. The general symptoms of genital warts are the presence of small, flesh-colored bumps in the genital area. In case you happen to be concerned about HPV then the best thing to do is to talk to a healthcare provider about preventing and treating it.

I am 26 year old male. my A painful rash and redness on the underside of in my penis or the head of my penis can signal a yeast infection. plz suggest on best cream and treatment.
Male | 26
You're probably dealing with a yeast infection on your penis. Yeast infections can lead to raggedness, rash, and discomfort. They occur when there is an excess of yeast formation in the body. For treatment, you may utilize an antifungal cream meant for yeast infections. Clean and dry the affected area and avoid using products with a strong scent. If the symptoms continue, get additional medical help from a dermatologist.

As asked earlier that can I exercise if having fungal infection, but now my q is after 1 month of medication my fungal infection is recovered, but due to long use of medicines , stretch marks are visible so now can I exercise..?
Male | 17
It is usual for scars to show up when you are on medication for a long time. Now that the infection is gone, you can begin working out, but you need to take it easy. Stretch marks usually disappear on their own, but applying moisturizer to your skin can help. Always keep in mind that it is your body that will determine the limits, and in case of any pain or discomfort, stop.

I am 21 years old and married, i am facing huge buring sensation
Female | 21
It seems like you’re feeling a lot of burning. The cause may be a urinary tract infection, what you eat, or even acid reflux. Drink lots of water and stay away from spicy foods. If it doesn’t get better, see a urologist.

Ma'am aaj mera eyes side mai nail se lag kr peel hogya skin Maan dag toh nhi na hoga boroline apply ki hu Pani aa raha hai wound se but blood nahi or kitna din tak improve ho jga skin
Female | 24
If it has turned slightly yellow, it may be a minor infection. Using Boroline is fine at the moment. When it is discharging clear liquid, then it is healing. Do not pick it, keep it clean, and look for any redness or increased pain. It will get better in about a week.

I am 17 year old boy. I am suffering from heavy hair fall. please help me I have long hair
Male | 17
Hair loss is a normal part of aging, but it might need attention if you notice an excessive amount for your age. Significant hair fall can be due to stress, poor nutrition, or an untreated wound. To address this, focus on your diet, manage stress, and choose gentle hair products. Avoid tight hairstyles that pull on your hair. If the condition doesn't improve, consider consulting a dermatologist.

Mery face pe freckless he bht zyada mghy iska koi elaj bta dy pls
Female | 28
Freckles appear as tiny, light brown spots that dot the skin, especially on sun-exposed areas like the face. They're harmless markings. But for some, freckles become an aesthetic concern. To fade freckles, wear sunscreen and a hat when outdoors. Opt for skin care products enriched with vitamin C or retinol. If self-conscious about freckles, conceal them with makeup. Remember, freckles are natural and require no medical intervention.

Hello doctor please I have STI which is itching me seriously and I have reddish pimples on my pennis itching me
Male | 30
You may be suffering from a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that can lead to the problem of open wounds and eczema on the penis. These signs might be a clue to a syndrome called herpes or genital warts. These infections can be spread from one person to another through sexual contact. Diagnosis and treatment should be done by a sexologist. It is the best decision to put away sexual activity until you visit a doctor.

I am a 31 year old female and I have 2 white bumps down there in my area. They don't hurt and they are not itchy. They are tender to touch sometimes but that's about it. Could it possibly be razor bumps or pimples
Female | 31
I think you may have ingrown hairs there these are both two small white spots. This occurs following shaving when the hair grows back into the skin. The area may be tender when touched. Until they clear up, don’t shave over them, and try gently exfoliating your skin. If this doesn’t work or if you’re worried about anything else then please see a dermatologist.

I have lost half of my hair (majorly from middle and side of my head) in one year and my skin has became loose with wrinkles and I am only 24. What are the causes and remedies
Male | 24
If you are loosing hair at 24 years, that is most probably due to pattern hair loss or androgenetic alopecia which requires topical and oral medications. If medications are used within time, this will result in stopping the further hair loss and reversal of the hair loss as well. Said that proper diagnosis is mandatory before moving any further and a proper dermatology consultation is required for diagnosis and proper management

In my back acne and itching
Male | 32
Back acne occurs when hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin cells, leading to bumps on the skin. This condition can be worsened by sweating or wearing tight clothes. The itchiness is often due to irritation caused by the acne. To manage back acne, try using a mild cleanser and avoid wearing tight clothing. Use oil-free lotions and refrain from scratching your skin, this can worsen the condition.

I had a scar on face slightly below the left eye. I want to know the procedure for scar removal/ laser treatment
Male | 25
Scars can result from acne, injury, independent surgical procedure, or pox. A dermatologist will be able to prescribe various solutions ranging from ointments, to injections, dermabrasion, chemical peel, laser and even surgery, to be able to treat it. Same will depend on the extent to which your scar is raised above your skin, or how dark it happens to be. While I think that CO2 laser or MNRF (Microneedling radiofrequency, a kind of cosmetic surgery) could help you, but no proper conclusion can be reached without prior consultation. Please refer to a dermatologist for this!

My toe nail is split in half but not fully ot has been like it for a long time about 1 year but I thought it would grow out and the area has became yellow
Male | 14
Your toenail is split and has become yellow? This could be a fungal infection. Fungi grow in warm, moist areas like your feet. To eliminate the fungus, make sure you keep your feet clean and dry. Alternatively, you can try an anti-fungal cream that you can get over the counter. If it doesn't improve after that, see a dermatologist.

I have very uneven skintone and pimples. I am looking to get a clear face skin.
Female | 20
The uneven skin tone could be due to pigmentation caused by acne. It can be treated with certain depigmentation or lightening creams like kojic acid, arbutin, etc. Also, the golden rule is to always apply sunscreen to prevent exacerbation of the existing pigmentation and also for its prevention. You can also consult Dermatology for further information.

I am taking medicine regarding skin allergy or I want to ask that I am also doing workout and hence I am also taking creatine, can I take medicine after that or not?
Male | 18
Be mindful when taking your medicine. If you're using creatine for muscle building while treating a skin allergy, timing is important. Some medications may interact with creatine or affect your workout. To be safe, ask your dermatologist if your skin allergy medicine will interfere with your creatine use.
