I am 21 years old and having forehead acne only and no acne on other part of face and my doctor suggested me isotretinoin should I take it or they are for severe acne?

Forehead acne is quite common. It can be because of the sebum the skin makes too much as it gets plugged and distresses the follicles. Isotretinoin is mainly used for the treatment of severe acne, so if your doctor has recommended it, it may indicate that your acne has become more severe and chronic. Make sure you are listening to your doctor and feel free to express your worries if you have any.

Acne on cheeks, have many big spots

Male | 29

You have some large, bumpy areas on your face. Those are known as zits or pimples. Zits occur when the tiny holes in our skin, called pores, become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. This can make them look red and swollen or feel tender to the touch. A good way to get rid of acne is to wash your face gently with warm water and soap twice a day; never squeeze the spots because it can cause scars, or use products containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid which help clear up blackheads and whiteheads.

I am 23 year old. sometimes before I was suffering from HSP , now I recovered from disease but some spot are appread on my legs , so please help me out with any cream or ointment for removing the spot?

Female | 23

 It may be that the points are healing or that the disease left some changes behind in the skin. One thing that could help you get rid of those spots is to apply a nice hydrating cream or lotion with vitamin E or aloe vera. Note that outbreaks can take a little longer to fade away, yet hydrating your skin can help a bit.

on 08/05/2024,suddenly i felt pain in my left breast.The pain went away after taking a pain killer.

Female | 34

It seems like you are going through mastitis which is an infection in the breast tissue. The pus-like discharge is a sign of infection. Mastitis can result from bacteria entering the breast via a cracked nipple or blocked milk duct. It is important to keep on taking any prescribed antibiotics and not to squeeze the breast because it can make the infection worse. Ensure you feed and pump frequently in order to clear the infection. With proper treatment and rest, mastitis can generally be cured within a week.

Hello I consume ketanzole lotion by mistake 1 teaspoon what should I do

Male | 47

If this did happen, don’t panic too much, as it can occur. Ketoconazole contains an ingredient that can be harmful when ingested. Symptoms such as stomach ache, nausea, or vomiting are likely to occur. If you notice any of these signs, seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, try not to get too worked up about it. Instead, drink plenty of water to help reduce the concentration of the drug in your system.

Female | 21

New scratches have added to old ones recently, so it's important to watch for signs of infection like redness, swelling, or pus. Clean the wound with soap and water, and monitor it closely. If you notice any of these symptoms, see a doctor right away.

Bruises under the tongue

Male | 60

Some­times, accidentally biting the toungue or eating hard foods cause­s bruising. These bruises usually he­al within one or two weeks by the­mselves. To ease­ any pain or discomfort, try soft foods and avoid spicy or acidic ones until healing occurs. If it persists, visiting a doctor may provide help.

I have a problem with my thumb finger, I doubt it is blood blister, once pinched, blood is coming continuously

Male | 49

Your thumb may be inflicted with a blood blister. Blood blisters occur when the blood vessels under the skin are traumatized. They can be painful, and the more you compress them, the more blood will come out. For it to heal, don't scrape it off and try to save it from getting injured more. If it is causing much discomfort, cover it up with a bandage.

Hi doctor my is a diabetic patient she has developed a would in her leg we treated with some tablets but still it's not healed properly please suggest

Female | 59

This could come as a result of high blood sugar, poor blood circulation, or infection. Redness, warmth, swelling, and pus are the signs of infection. In some cases, scars must be treated with special dressings or antibiotics. Help her to control her blood sugar levels and make sure she gets her wound care from her doctor.

Mere hair Growth bhut slow go rhi h usko kase sahi kr sakte h

Male | 27

Slow hair growth is due to reasons such as lack of vitamins, demanding work, or hereditary influences. If you notice that your hair is no longer growing as fast as it used to, you should try eating a balanced diet full of vitamins and minerals, for example, vitamin D and iron. Besides, find some time for yourself to practice relaxation techniques to de-stress.

Female | 26

Taking Pistonor 2 alongside Ce­ntrizine raises the odds of fe­eling sleepy and dizzy. The­se meds make you drowsy. Driving or handling machine­ry becomes risky. Always consult your doctor before­ mixing drugs. You'll avoid unsafe outcomes. !
