The lump you are sensing in your groin region might be an engorged inguinal lymph node. Lymph nodes can get bigger due to different reasons like a cold or a sore. Most of the time, they return to their normal size without any intervention. Mind it, if the situation gets worse, you might experience pain and other signs like fever, do visit a dermatologist.

Sir/madam My chaild foot had heavy cracks what is the solution to this

Male | 9

It is important to keep your child’s feet clean and dry to prevent infection and cracking. A dermatologist or podiatrist can best determine and treat the condition. However, the best solution for cracked feet is to keep your feet hydrated and moisturized. This can be done by using lotions and creams specifically designed for cracked feet. You can also soak your feet in warm water with Epsom salts or other moisturizing oils such as olive oil or coconut oil.

Hi my daughter has a spot on her tummy and it's painful to touch and it's all red with little white spots around it

Female | 4

Your daughter most probably has a skin infection called Impetigo. A painful, red spot with white spots around it is a symptom of this illness. This is due to bacteria entering the skin, which usually happens when a cut or insect bite is present. To deal with this issue, keep the area clean, apply antibiotic cream, and cover it with a bandage. Make sure she doesn't scratch it to prevent spreading the infection.

I am 23 yrs old girl who is suffering from pcos , obesity . I have hair on my body as well as facial hairs . My weight is increasing. Please tell me how to control this facial hair growth without medicine This is my question I request you to please revert me the answer.

Female | 23

 It sounds like you might be suffering from PCOS which is caused by hormonal disturbances. Excess body hair and obesity are the most typical signs. Unwanted hair on the chin and the upper lips may be a result of high levels of male hormones in your body. To manage hair growth without medication you could try gentle methods such as shaving, waxing, or threading. These will grant you temporary relief as the hair is removed.

i have some acne on my chin

Female | 13

Pimples ofte­n appear on the chin area whe­n skin pores get blocked. Obstructe­d pores trap excess oil and de­ad cells. Red bumps, whitehe­ads, and blackheads form. Hormones, stress, and ce­rtain foods contribute. Gently wash your face twice­ daily. Don't squeeze pimple­s. Use benzoyl peroxide­ or salicylic acid products. Eat nutritious foods, and drink adequate water. The­se steps can improve acne­ on your chin.

Hello, I’m 24 years old and would like to know if I have to be concerned using an aluminum based antiperspirant

Female | 24

It's natural to be anxious over the question of whether aluminum compounds used in antiperspirants are safe for your health. Some are jittery about the information they read which might suggest there is a health issue. However, the majority of studies confirm that there is no such evidence of the relationship between antiperspirants with aluminum and health risks. If you notice any itching, rash, or irritation, try switching to an aluminum-free option.

My left leg is wounded and have swelling by itching.

Male | 56

Looks like you got a wound in your left leg that’s swollen and itchy. Swelling and itching can occur when the body is healing a wound. It might be infected or irritated. To relieve these symptoms, ensure the wound is clean, use a mild antiseptic, and elevate your leg to reduce swelling. Change dressings frequently to prevent infection.

Just wanna know something,my upper lip is tanned whole the lower is pink which looks weird,want to know what to do in this situation!!

Male | 18

A tanned upper lip and pink lower lip might seem perplexing, but it’s pretty common. The simplest explanation would be sun exposure since our upper lips are generally more affected by the sun than our lower ones are. To tan less and protect your lips, you should always apply sunscreen before going out into the sun; if you want extra protection, use SPF lip balm as well. Eventually, the colors will even themselves out.
