Answered on 29th May '24
You are afraid of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome from drugs. It is a rare but serious skin reaction. Symptoms can be flu-like symptoms, a rash, and blisters on the skin. Medicines or infections can cause it. Before starting any new medicine, speak with your doctor if this is something that concerns you. They will be able to help you choose what might work best for you and watch out for signs of trouble.

I have too many blemishes on my face
Male | 17
Blemishes can be frustrating, yet they're normal and treatable. Spots or tiny bumps on the skin are classified as blemishes. Clogged pores, bacteria, or hormone fluctuations might cause these. Gently cleansing your face regularly helps. Applying benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid products could improve things. However, avoid popping or squeezing blemishes to prevent scars. If the issue persists, consult a dermatologist for guidance.

HPV, especially type 45, is primarily spread through direct skin-to-skin contact, mainly sexual. The chance of transmission through shared clothing is low. However, considering your mother's health condition and her rheumatoid arthritis, it’s good to be cautious. Encourage her to see a gynecologist for proper advice and peace of mind.

yellow bumps surrounding top and bottom lip
Female | 18
Yellow bumps around the lips may be a type of skin condition called Fordyce spots. They are an inconsequential and healthy product of the body that is commonly seen on the lips and is caused by the sebaceous glands. The bumps are usually without symptoms or pain. If you are worried about their look, you can visit a dermatologist for treatment options like laser therapy or topical creams.

My face turns red There are small pimples on the face and now there are dark spots on the skin, tell me the solution to reduce it
Male | 29
To treat acne and its related dark spots, wash your face twice daily using a mild soap; apply an oil-free moisturizer and avoid pricking or scratching at any pimples. Over-the-counter products containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid would be effective too if used consistently for about twelve weeks. If none of these measures work for you, you can see a dermatologist who will give you more instructions based on your specific needs.

I am a 36 year old male with a rash on his peenis and it's sore
Male | 35
You may have a rash on your penis. The rash and soreness can be linked with several conditions such as a fungal infection or skin irritation caused by soaps or detergents, to name a few. If you want to help, try to keep the area clean and dry, avoid strange products, wear loose cotton underwear, and try an antifungal cream from the pharmacy. If it does not get better, see a dermatologist.

I have a skin problem. I have a fungal infection called ring worm on my body and I have got a lot of rashes. I am very troubled. Please help me.
Female | 19
It sounds like you’re experiencing discomfort from a common skin condition known as ringworm, which is a fungal infection. This can lead to red, itchy rashes on your skin. It's usually caused by direct contact with an infected person or surface. To manage this, over-the-counter antifungal creams can be effective. Keeping the affected areas clean and dry is essential. However, since your symptoms are troubling you, I recommend you consult a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment plan.

Female | 26
Regarding skin brightening, one of the treatment that comes to my mind is Glutathione injections, it's free of any severe side effects when used in safe dosage. But I wouldn't recommend anything without prior examination.

I am 18 years old female .I am suffering from itching of skin from last 2 months. It can suffer through out the body like under arms and around vaginal area and vaginal lips red bumps in it .please give me a suggestion and what can I do now?
Female | 18
The itching, red bumps, and discomfort around your armpits and vulva are very indicative of a condition like a yeast infection or dermatitis. They are a potential cause of soreness and itching. Use gentle soaps and creams with no fragrance, wear loose clothes, and never scratch the skin. You should consult a gynecologist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment.

I have a white patch something in my inner cheek of. Mouth above the wisdom tooth.. Which is cured before but suddenly it appears again
Male | 21
Your cheek area near the wisdom tooth might have a white patch. It could be oral thrush, a fungal infection. Thrush may return if treatment is incomplete, or your immunity is low. To get it resolved, you'll need proper medication from a dentist.

I have a abscess on my leg...it red and puffy....and it has developed a red line coming from the area of the abscess and is very painful... what might be the problem and what is the line
Female | 46
This occurs when bacteria are trapped under the skin and create a red, swollen, and tender area. The red streak that you’re seeing may be a sign of the infection spreading further. You should have it looked at because it could require antibiotics or even drainage. Use warm clothes to help ease discomfort and reduce swelling until you see a dermatologist.

While cutting pubic hairs down there, I have cut myself from scissors. Can this cause tatnus. What should I do?
Female | 27
Tetanus disease comes with some toxic dirty cuts that make swallowing very hard as well as stiffness of muscles generally. Such people should ensure the scratch is germs-free by washing it with water and soap and then applying any antiseptic. One should also note that if you have not had any tetanus vaccination within the last ten years, make sure it is done as soon as possible to prevent further infections.

The smoothening change is temporary. Your natural hair will come back in time. Speeding up the growth of your natural hair is possible by using nourishing hair products and avoiding further chemical treatments. Be a little patient, and then your natural hair will come back.

My throat and various joints of my body are very dark for the last five to six years. My weight is above 80 kg. And I have high pressure
Male | 18
Your skin might be affected by acanthosis nigricans which is identified by dark patches, even on the throat and joints. Being overweight and having high blood pressure are risk factors for this. The treatment is to lose weight and control the BP, as a result, the patches can be healed. Follow a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and be consistent with your prescribed medications to control your blood pressure.

Female | 31
Acne is multi-factorial problem, hormonal disease in most of the patients, diet, exercise, hygiene, grooming practices play important role.so visiting dermatologist and taking treatment is one option and maintain treatment for long time because if you are getting any improvement with the treatment then continue it otherwise dermatologist will change it. there are few things that has to be taken care. One thing not to apply hair oil, avoid having dandruff or use anti-dandruff shampoos weekly on the scalp, using face washes that have salicylic acid or glycolic acid. Avoid using thick greasy moisturizers or cream on the face. Use only creams that are gel based or water based. Drink plenty of water, avoid fat or cheesy diet, exercise 10-15 mins of the day. Topical steroids have to be avoided. Topical antibiotics like Clindamycin are useful. Oral Antibiotics or retinoids are advised.
