Why are my tongue and cheek fissures recurring?

I am having a fissured tongue and fissures in some parts of my cheeks too . I used plain yogurt for 3-4 days and the fissures were almost nil but after a week it seems like the fissures are back . It is getting hard to eat food and even my stomach feels upset.

You are going through a medical condition termed oral fissures, that appear on your tongue and inside your mouth. These cracks could be caused by various things such as dry mouth, infections, or lack of proper diet. Eating plain yogurt might have temporarily stopped them from appearing, but not to bring them back, make sure you drink water, eat soft food, and don't eat spicy or acidic foods. If the fissures still appear, visit a dentist/dermatologist for the necessary checks.

I have a dry skin, for which the doctor had suggested Zydip lotion having Beclometasonen in it. I am using it regularly with body moisturizer. Can i use it regularly or not?

Male | 23

There are various causes of dry skin including weather conditions, age and certain skin disorders. This can lead to symptoms such as itching, redness or rough patches. Beclometasone contained in Zydip lotion works by reducing inflammation as well as itching. The medicine should be applied along with a skin moisturizer although the frequency of use will depend on what your doctor tells you.

Female | 22

Skin redness and irritation have been linked to the use of Clindamycin Phosphate Gel 3%. You may be having an allergic reaction to the gel. It is advised that you should discontinue the use of gel and seek consultation with a dermatologist for appropriate assessment and treatment.

A red colored and long mass type thing is coming out from belly button. thick yellow discharge also came out sometimes from belly button. I have no pain, no swelling, no discomfort, nothing

Female | 24

It looks as though you burgeon an umbilical granuloma which is a small piece of tissue that protrudes from your belly button. The yellow discharge may be an indication of the infection. In some instances, it could come on without any pain or swelling. To do this, you have to keep the area clean and dry. It is also possible that you will need antibiotics when the infection gets worse.

Face swelling due to cold

Male | 38

When you have a cold, your face may swell as your body fights off germs, increasing blood flow to the area. This extra blood can make your face look puffy. Rest, hydration, and a cold compress can help reduce the swelling. However, if it persists or gets worse, it's important to consult a doctor, as it could indicate something more serious than a regular cold.

I am Himanshi, a 20 years old student. From last 2 years I am having acne on my face, which occurs suddenly in a bunch and are itchy as well. These are small and similar to each other and painless. I am having these on my forehead chin and cheeks. In summer these become worse. These not look like as pimple. From my pov, these are fungal acne (not sure that's why asking).... I hadn't took any medication before.. Using no lotion but a simple Himalaya neem facewash from past many years.

Female | 20

You seem to be going through a skin condition called fungal acne. This type of acne can start suddenly, itch, and can form small painless bumps that look similar. The summer heat tends to make it worse. Using just a neem facewash may not be the only thing you need. Switching to an anti-fungal face wash and adding an anti-fungal cream can be the next step. It is also important to clean and dry your skin properly to get rid of the problem.

I'm 28 years and suffering from PCOD. I have thick hair in chin, neck and chest. I usually use the epilator to remove the hairs but after 7-10 days, it regrows back. Can you please suggest ways to rid of it permanently?

Female | 28

• Polycystic Ovary Disease (PCOD) is caused due to production of immature or partially mature eggs by the ovaries in response to poor lifestyle, obesity, stress and hormonal balance.

• Excessive hair growth in the face, chest and back is associated with imbalance in the male hormone called Testosterone. Other symptoms associated include menstrual irregularity, acne, obesity and insulin resistance.

• Treating the underlying condition which is PCOD will help you get rid of the excessive hair growth.

• Medicine such as Clomifene is recommended for treatment as it encourages monthly release of egg from the ovaries and Metformin is prescribed to reduce the insulin resistance.

 

Lifestyle changes include:

Dietary Changes –

  Optimum diet includes a range of foods from many food categories, including healthy carbohydrates like vegetables and fruits, lean meats like chicken, fish, and high fibre grains.  

 Foods with a low glycemic index enable the body to release insulin slowly and gradually, allowing your body to utilise food as energy rather than store it as fat. Fiber-rich foods also aid with blood sugar regulation.

 Avoid refined carbohydrates, which are found in processed meals such as white flour, rice, potatoes, and sugar. Sugary beverages, such as soda and juice, should also be avoided.

Maintain Healthy weight –  

 Weight loss should be about half to 1 kg per week for 6 months, with the other method based on the amount of weight lost.

 Avoid crash diets since they deprive your body of essential vitamins, carbs, proteins, and minerals.

 When you go on a crash diet, your body will actually destroy muscle tissue to supply enough energy for your brain to operate.

Exercise regularly –

 Aids in the fight against obesity by burning calories and increasing muscle mass, both of which reduce insulin resistance. Exercise can also help decrease cholesterol and other hormone levels, such as testosterone.

 Physical activity is also vital. Moderate amounts of physical exercise for 30 to 45 minutes per day, 3 to 5 days per week, should be encouraged at first.

Consult your Gynecologists for starting with your treatment and take the aid of a nutritionist in order to design a customized diet plan.

Hi, I had sclerotherapy done on Wednesday last week. My veins look a lot worse, they as re purple and more visible, there is no brusing and they are also quite sore to the touch/I can feel tiredness in my legs. My doctor said I may have had an allergic reaction to the therapy because I am on holiday in a hot country (Brazil) and prescribed me an antihistamine. Will the veins eventually fade or will I need more treatment?

Female | 28

Bruising and discomfort after sclerotherapy are natural which normally resolves within a few days. But since you said your veins look worse and are more visible after the procedure could indicate a complication. It's good that you have already spoken with your doctor, but still experiencing discomfort or have any concerns, follow up with them promptly. 

 

In some cases the veins may fade on their own over time, but if the issue is related to the sclerotherapy procedure, additional treatment can be needed. Its best to follow up with your doctor to discuss your options and determine the best treatment.

I am 22 years old and I am facing with eczema on my finger it's kind of a dry itchy and small swellings on that finger and that spreading on other fingers of my hand too I have tried many creams but it helps temporarily and again the condition continues.. what should I do?

Female | 22

When ignored, eczema can cause dry, itchy skin with small bumps that may spread to other fingers. This condition is usually not contagious but uncomfortable. Eczema may be brought about by allergens or irritants present in the environment or stressors at home or the workplace. To manage this kind of problem, always keep the skin moisturized all the time; avoid anything that triggered the outbreak such as harsh detergent soaps among others–instead use mild ones which are readily available over-the-counter (OTC) drugs like hydrocortisone creams can also work effectively if prescribed by doctors specializing in treating diseases related with epidermis.
