Callus from a diabetic foot has to be removed carefully because there should not be any would while removing as it is difficult for wound to heal in diabetic patients. If it has to be done at home, soak the feet in lukewarm water for 10-15 mins. Then rub it with file and then add Keratolytic agents like salicylic acid 12 to 40% in the form of paste is helpful. It can be also done professionally using surgical sterile blade by dermatologist at his clinic

If you have a callus on a diabetic foot, it's essential to approach its removal with caution due to the risk of complications. Diabetic individuals are prone to foot issues, and self-treatment may lead to injuries. Instead of trying to remove the callus at home, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional, preferably a podiatrist. They can safely assess the condition, provide appropriate treatment, and offer guidance on foot care practices to prevent future issues. Regular foot checks, moisturizing, and wearing comfortable shoes are essential components of diabetic foot care

Montelukast sodium and fexofenadine hydrochloride is this tablet for skin allergy
Female | 45
Yes, Montelukast sodium and fexofenadine hydrochloride are two of the medications used to cure skin allergies. Skin allergy patients usually get symptoms like itching, redness, and rashes. They perform this role by impeding the action of those substances on the parasympathetic nervous system. Consult an allergist before starting these medications for your skin allergies.

Iam a 20 year male and i have small white spot side of my throat
Male | 20
It seems you are dealing with tonsillitis, a condition that is identified by the white spots in the tonsils. This often accompanies a viral or a bacterial infection that further causes manifestations like sore throat and difficulties in swallowing. The best way to relieve the symptoms is to drink a lot of fluids, get some rest, and take throat lozenges. If it still doesn't get better, it's a good idea to consult a health care provider for further help.

Iam 20 years old female. I want to know why I loss upto about 8-10 eyebrows hair daily. Is eyebrow hair falling is normal or not. What should I do to stop it?
Female | 20
Some hair on the eyebrows falls out each day as part of the natural hair growth cycle, which involves transitions through the growth, resting, and slipping phases. Causes such as anxiety, nutrient deficiencies, uneven hormone levels, or too much plucking might cause hair to fall out excessively. In order to foster the development of healthy hair, consider eating a nutrient-rich diet, drinking water, and not using products that can harm your hair such as perming and coloring. If the hair vasculature starts to thin or you get areas, or the hair loss remains, it is best to see a medical professional.

Your rabies vaccine was completed last May, so you’re protected from getting infected by it. However, if a cat bit you today, watch out for any fever, headache or weakness that is abnormal. Seek medical attention immediately should you see any of these symptoms.

Can i supplement fish oil being a vegetarian without any issues
Male | 18
As a vegetarian, if you want to include Omega-3 fatty acids in your diet, you should not use fish oil. What is in fish oil mainly comes from fish, and many people may find this unappealing. Instead, consider using flaxseed oil or algae oil which are obtained from plants. The two oils have similar benefits as fish oil but do not contradict with the vegetarian lifestyle.

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.

Female | 20
Vitiligo is a medical issue leading to pale spots on skin areas. It happens when your body attacks its own cells. Or vitiligo may stem from inherited genes. There's no permanent fix, but creams and light treatment can help blend skin tones better. Sun protection is key to stop color changes. You can also visit a dermatologist for treatment.

Hello My name is simran actually my outer part of vulva area is infected and now it's itching alot
Female | 23
You may have a yeast infection. It can be responsible for such problems as itching, redness, and sometimes a thick discharge. Antibiotics, tight clothing, or a weakened immune system can be blamed for yeast infections. You can buy antifungal creams over-the-counter can ease the itching and help you get rid of the infection. You should be wearing only cotton underwear and avoiding those products with scents to ensure you are not further irritating the area.

I'm 19 I have bacterial infection past 2months so I visit to my near general doctor they suggest clonate ointment and candid dusting powder but still there is no improvement?daybyday its increased and itching also I have so I used clobetamil ointment now infection is mildly decreased but this is not permanent solution?so pls give solution for my problem dr
Female | 19
Clonate ointment and candid dusting powder are corticosteroid and antifungal powder respectively which are not recommended for treating bacterial infections and hence it is suggested to stop the same at once. Proper diagnosis and treating the condition accordingly is essential in your case. Ruling out underlying cause and identifying the source of bacterial infections is equally important. Please consult a Dermatologist immediately so that appropriate antibiotics, good skin care regimen and creams can be recommended.

Female | 18
You may have eczema, a condition that can lead to itchy, inflamed patches of skin that usually show up on the back of your knees. This happens when your skin gets too dry and irritated. To relieve your symptoms, try using a mild moisturizer and staying away from strong soaps or detergents. If this doesn’t help, talk to a dermatologist who can give you more advice.

Can I take pistonor 2 while taking centrizine
Female | 23
Cetirizine helps with allergies. Pistonor 2 also helps with allergies. Taking both medications together can make you sleepy and dizzy. It's better to take one medication at a time for allergies. If allergies are difficult, ask your doctor for other solutions. But don't mix Cetirizine and Pistonor 2.

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 16 yrs old female and have skin warts on face from the time when I was kid about 5 to 6 yrs old and my father and brother also have warts on face what to do any medicine or any treatment is it curable or not
Female | 16
Face warts come from a virus that spreads from person to person. It’s very contagious within families. Although warts aren’t serious, they can be annoying. Special creams, freezing, or laser treatment can be used to remove them. However, they may return later. You should talk with a dermatologist about what will work best for you.

This occurs when you take antibiotics such as Bactrim for a skin infection. Itching, redness, and strange discharge are all symptoms of yeast infections. To relieve these symptoms, try using an over-the-counter antifungal cream. You can also prevent yeast infections by keeping the area clean and dry. If the symptoms don’t go away, be sure to see a dermatologist.
