How Can I Speed Up Healing of Opened Breast Wound?

I am 23 years old and I did a breast surgery on 17th of march 2024 for removal of lump. The wound is yet to heal now. Few days after the surgery i noticed leakages from the stitches so i went back to the doctor then he stitched it again whivh made the healing process very slow. What can I do to heal the opened wound on my right breast? I find it difficult to bathe. I was prescribed ciprotab by the doctor and vitamin c (but I got the coloured ones instead) or should I have been using the white one? I already stopped the ciprotab

To help the wound heal, ensure that you keep it clean and dry, wash the area gently with some mild soap and water then dry. Any rough movements which might disrupt the stitches should be avoided. Consult with Your Doctor on the right type of vitamin C use, usually white because colored ones could have added ingredients. Should there be signs like increased pain, redness, swelling, or pus, then do seek medical Help immediately as this could mean infection.

i am 16 years old and having pain in my nose hump for a week and slowly getting harsh. i have discomfort with my nose and feels like a growth in my nose bones and mainly feels moree curvature in my hump day by day. i also have discomfort with my too much droopy tip and my too much crooked nasal bridge

Female | 16

You seem troubled by your nose's condition. A bump might cause nasal pain and growth sensation, making the tip droop, and the bridge appear crooked. Such changes can occur during development. Consulting a dermatologist would clarify the issue and find solutions for your discomfort.

I am a 18 year old male and im concuabout having hsv 1 and hsv 2, i was a little worried about what they look like because i saw something that looked unusual in both places.

Male | 18

It's important to get examined by a healthcare professional, like a dermatologist or a urologist, to diagnose any concerns regarding HSV-1 or HSV-2 accurately. Avoid self-diagnosis based on appearance, as it can be misleading. Early detection and proper medical guidance are crucial for managing any potential infections.

thats normal on my pubic hair have like blackhead ?

Female | 22

It’s common to notice small, dark spots or bumps in the pubic area. These can be due to ingrown hairs, clogged follicles, or even harmless skin conditions like folliculitis. To alleviate discomfort, gently exfoliate the area and keep it clean. Avoid tight clothing to lessen irritation. Using a soothing moisturizer can help, too. If you experience pain, persistent irritation, or unusual changes, it’s wise to consult a dermatologist for personalized advice and care.

How to take care of oily skin and damaged hairs?? I have been taking medication for TB since June 2020. I have oily skin and additionally pimples too, on my face, hand and back. My face is looks dull and open pores are visible. Color of my body is getting darker day by day. I had grey hair issue so I have used hair color but now my hair is totally damaged. Please suggest something for my problem

Female | 32

The acne has to be treated accordingly as it is appearing in many parts of the body. The acne medications will control excess oil. Tuberculosis treatment may affect your hair as well as skin. I thus urge you to meet a dermatologist nearby and get evaluated for further treatment. Also start using anti-oxidant capsules, they will help a lot.

Common procedures are laser therapy, excision or cryotherapy depending on the type and size of moles. Based on the methods chosen, number of moles or location can vary dramatically in costs. It is essential to seek advice from a dermatologist or any skincare specialist who could analyze your situation, suggest appropriate options and give an idea of the possible costs.

Hi....sir iam hvng white patches on my face somebody's told me hypopegmention,dry white patches both side nose upper eyebrows on chicks some says lyk piyturia alba some things plz tel me ointment.,

Female | 31

White patches can be pityriasis alba which is an allergic reaction due to climatic change that presents dry ill defined white patches or hypopigmented patches commonly seen in children but might also seen in adults as well. The treatment is mild topical steroids like hydrocortisone. Apart from this using sunscreen is important. White patch can also be vitiligo which requires more prolonged treatment. It is always advisable to have proper diagnosis by dermatologist either by online or offline consultation.

I am 21 years old and I have na itchy skin,I googled and saw that it's called hives since when it's itchy and I scratch I'm left with this things I googled called hives,it also comes with lip swell, there's a certain doctor who told me not to use medicine with sulphur and I stop using body lotions but I'm still suffering .what might be the problem and what can you recommend I use to end it.

Female | 21

You might have hives, which can be itchy skin and even swelling on your lips. Hives can be caused by different reasons such as allergies, stress, or infections. It is great that you have completely stopped using sulfur-containing products. Attempt to 'take an over-the-counter antihistamine' like diphenhydramine for help with itching and swelling. Besides, try to understand and avoid what could be the cause of your hives. If the issue persists, it is best to visit a dermatologist.

Common warts ko kese thik kare

Male | 19

Warts appear mostly on the hands and feet. Sometimes they have black dots inside them. Though not harmful, warts can be annoying. You can use over-the-counter salicylic acid to remove them. Keep the area clean and dry. Don't pick or scratch warts, or they may spread. If they don't go away, consult a dermatologist.
