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.

Hello I'm completed vaccine of ant rabies last may 22, 2024, but my cat bite me today, do I need to get vaccinated again?

Male | 15

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.

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.

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.

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.
