I got the cut from the barber trimmer is it the chance of getting hiv virus from that trimmer ?
Male | 21
You are very unlikely to get HIV from a barber trimmer. HIV is not spread by inanimate objects like trimmers but through fluids that carry the virus, such as blood. Look for symptoms such as fever or maybe pimples but always keep in mind the probability of this happening is extremely low.

I'm suffering from scalp folliculitis since 2 years . I have consumed various medication as advised earlier (Tablet doxycycline, tablet metronidazole, tablet clindamycin,tablet isotretinoin).these medications ka affective only till I take the medicine and then the pustules reappear. These are very painful and very itchy .
Female | 21
This is when the hair follicles on your head become infected leading to painful sores with pus which are also itchy. I can see that the drugs that you have used before don’t seem to work well for you in the long run. One should visit a dermatologist who might prescribe stronger medications or other treatments such as medicated shampoos or creams for clearing up these infections and preventing their recurrence.

Nasty boil down below. Female. Bathed for 3 weeks. Burst but now not leaking but swelling. Have antibiotics. BUT WILL IT BURST ALONE?
Female | 55
Aching and red bumps filled with pus are caused by microbes that enter the skin through cuts or hair follicles. It's good that the bump has burst, but the swelling is still a concern. Being on antibiotics should help fight the infection. The boil will usually drain on its own, and taking a bath and applying warm compresses can help it heal faster. If you develop a fever or the swelling worsens, see a dermatologist.

Hello doctor, I have a growth protruding on my left thigh, is their any recommendation, for I do feel un ease, and would like to get rid of it. Looking forward to your response
Male | 34
It appears to be a skin tag or a cyst, which sometimes are quite normal and usually harmless. Skin tags are small, soft growths that can appear on the skin, while cysts are fluid-filled lumps. Nevertheless, have a dermatologist check it out to be secure. Usually, the doctor can get it removed by a simple procedure.

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.

My skin is very dull and i am having open pores near to the nose are on cheeks, skin texture is uneven.what can be possible reason for that
Female | 27
Dull, oily skin with large pores on the nose and cheeks is a common issue. This can result from excess oil production, genetics, or inadequate skin care. These factors often lead to rough patches and an uneven skin tone. To improve your skin, try using gentle cleansers, exfoliating regularly, and applying a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer. Additionally, staying hydrated is crucial. Open pores can get clogged with dirt and excess oil, but regular exfoliation can help keep them clear. Proper moisturizing prevents dryness without causing excess shine. With consistent care, smooth and evenly-toned skin is achievable.

My son 10 year old boy had very small black spot in his nose tip before one month for 2 weeks... but now it looks like pimple.. can we apply any ointment for this..
Male | 10
Your son has a pimple on the tip of his nose. These can be in children because of oily and dirty particles trapped in the pores. It is important to avoid pressing on it because that can cause an infection. You can clean the affected area gently with soap and water that is mild and warm for the skin. You may want to apply an anti-acne cream with benzoyl peroxide if it is not too harsh, but first of all, start with small portions of it to be sure the skin can tolerate it. If it doesn't heal, visit a dermatologist.

Psoriasis happens when the skin turns red, with patches and itching. Scales on the skin look silvery. Not catching – you won't spread it. In kids, Psoriasis may come from stress or family history. Manage Psoriasis by moisturizing skin with creams. Don't scratch skin. Use gentle soap. Sometimes, doctors give special lotions for Psoriasis.

If you had this sickness and got help, your wife needs to get checked too. Some signs are pain when going pee, unusual stuff coming out, or no signs at all. To stop spreading it, do not touch private parts until you both get help.

Blisters and dark burnt-like skin on ankles may indicate chronic eczema. Itching, redness, and thickened skin occur. It lasts over a year. Causes include genetics, skin dryness, or irritants. Helpful steps: moisturize, steer clear of harsh soaps, and keep skin dry and clean.

Female | 28
It could be that you have an allergy or a skin condition that you're trying to address. On further observation, there might be more factors contributing to this. I recommend that you book an appointment with a dermatologist who will give you a diagnosis and the right treatment.

I used to have pimples on my face 2 to 3 years ago but after using some medicine the pimples reduced but pigmentation acne has appeared on my face, how should I cure it.
Female | 21
This condition occurs when your skin produces excess pigment, resulting in dark spots. It often appears after a pimple has healed. To treat it, you can use products containing ingredients like vitamin C or retinol, which can help fade the dark spots over time. Remember to always apply sunscreen to protect your skin from further damage.

I am 19 years old. I have a little external hemorrhoids with no symptoms should i consult it to a doctor or it will go itself
Male | 19
Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the rectum or anus. Common causes include straining during bowel movements, sitting too long on the toilet, or being overweight. Small, painless hemorrhoids are usually not a concern and may go away with home remedies like warm baths, eating more fiber, or using creams. However, if you have pain, bleeding, or discomfort, it's best to see a gastroenterologist for advice on the right treatment.

I have like this tiny multiple lumps that looks like warts but it isn't...im guessing them to be external hemorrhoids but its not connected into the anal...the location of those lumps are not too far away from the anal. I would like to know what disease it this and how to cure it.
Male | 18
The little bumps you are describing could be harmless skin conditions such as warts or other skin overgrowths, rather than hemorrhoids, especially if they are not located near the butt. These actually thrive from several causes, e.g., friction or irritation. Often, they are benign and may not affect health much, but it’s crucial to keep an eye on any changes. Washing and not rubbing as ways to alleviate symptoms would help. I suggest that you consult a dermatologist to give you an accurate diagnosis and suggest suitable therapies for treatment.

I am 18 year old and have pimples for around 5 years I have taken several medications but everything stops working after some time it also makes in destress sometimes i don't have very severe acne can i take accutane treatment to get permanent solution from it.
Female | 18
Seems like you have been fighting acne for this period already and it hasn’t been easy. What brings about them are blocked pores plus germs Isotretinoin alternatively known as Accutane is a strong drug usually saved for serious cases of acne. It can be a permanent solution for certain individuals. The best thing is your kind of acne is not severe therefore before you think about this drug there are other forms of treatment that you need to discuss with your dermatologist.

Female | 42
A rash on your legs seems quite concerning. It might be ringworm, showing circular reddish patches. Ringworm often causes itchiness and burning sensations. Keep affected areas dry and clean. Try antifungal creams from stores, they may help clear it. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, see a dermatologist. Many skin issues are treatable when properly addressed, so there's no need to panic unduly. With proper care, the condition should improve.

Ingrown nail. Looking for dermatologist
Male | 23
In case of an ingrown nail, it is recommended to visit a dermatologist. They can evaluate the severity of the other ingrown nail, provide its proper care and offer treatment alternatives. In mild cases, soaking the affected area in warm water and lifting gently under the ingrown edge may work. On the contrary, in case of more severe ingrown nail or recurrent one surgical intervention is indicated. Do not try to deal with it yourself to avoid complications or infections. The healthcare professional should be consulted for proper treatment specific to your case.

My toe nails are changing to a yellow color..also I have skin peeling between my toes and it hurts very much.. can you prescribe me anything for it..I'm guessing it's athletes feet and toe nails fungus
Female | 40
Your symptoms sound like athlete’s foot and toenail fungus. An athlete’s foot can cause your nails to turn yellow, make the skin on your feet peel off, and make your toes hurt. The fungus that leads to athlete’s foot loves warm, damp areas – like sweaty feet. You can use over-the-counter antifungal creams on your skin and nails to treat it. Also, try to keep your feet clean and dry so they are less appealing to the fungus.
