Did Detol burn cause stubborn facial brown patch?
I applied undiluted dettol on my face [acne region (cheek and forehead) as it was bleeding] and forgot to wash it off. This later burnt my skin and now two months later theres a brownish patch which I am unable to get rid of regardless of how many scars removal cream and depigmenting creams I have used. Please help me recognise the problem with a solution for the same. Thank you.

Undiluted Dettol is said to cause burns and dark patches on the skin, especially the sensitive area of the face. The brownish skin spot that you have may be the result of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. To discolor the patch, avoid sun exposure by applying sunscreen, and think about visiting a dermatologist for chemical peels or laser therapy treatment.

This problem could be caused by poor blood circulation or by your sensitivities to changes in temperature, consequently, those being potential indications of issues such as Raynaud's phenomenon. To ease the discomfort you feel, make sure that you keep your arms and legs warm and do not let the skin get wet, and perhaps also use moisturizers to deal with the dryness. In the event of persistent symptoms or exacerbation, I advise you to see a dermatologist to get an in-depth checkup. Strengthened by their professional advice and treatment choices, one finds the necessary personal mitigating factors.

I have a cut which is not that deep I had tetanus shot in last 6 months how do I heal it
Female | 19
There can be many causes of a cut. For instance, it can be you holding a sharp object. It's good that your cut isn't very deep, but being careful is crucial to prevent infection. Cleaning with mild soap and water is the key. An antiseptic cream is another option that could be employed along with the cleaning procedure. Wrap it with a clean bandage as a precaution. Be alert if you notice redness, swelling, or pain that might indicate an infection. Visit a dermatologist if you notice the above signs and symptoms.

Female | 31
Skin melanin treatment surgery can be harmful in the long run so I suggest not to go for it. You can try other treatments like chemical peels or dermabrasion instead. These treatments can help lighten the skin and are not harmful in the long run. Also using moisturizer and sunscreen can help.

If the hairs are falling from front at the age of 11 years that might be due to tractional alopecia or very tight tying of hair. There should be loose or normal tying of hairs. It is always better to consult a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

It looks like what you may have is a condition called eczema. This skin affection can lead to skin peeling, and tiny skin injuries, and thus make it easy to break your skin resulting in bleeding. A condition that is most often brought on by eczema may include dry skin, allergies, or irritating furtherance. The usage of non-abrasive moisturizers, the non-use of perfumed soaps, and the efforts to assess and avoid your stimuli can help you manage debilitating symptoms. Consult a dermatologist for personalized treatments.

I have sweating glands under eyes. Can that be cured. If yes, how?
Sweating under the eyes is abnormal and may be an indication of such a problem as hyperhidrosis- this can signify something wrong in numerous parts of the body that appear to sweat profusely. Treatment alternatives range from topical antiperspirants, Botox injections, oral treatments to surgery if necessary. It is best to contact a dermatologist who can diagnose your specific condition and advise you on the most suitable treatment. They can give you a detailed assessment to find the root cause of your sweating and create an individual treatment plan that will help them deal with all these symptoms effectively. Remember, key to effective addressing of hyperhidrosis is the correct diagnosis as well as tailored treatment.

My son has redish spots on the body feeling swear itching and burrowing with swelling.
Male | Roshaan
Your son might have a skin condition called hives. These are small, pinkish-red, itchy lumps that appear on the skin. Hives are generally caused by a person's allergic reaction to specific types of food, or drugs, or by bug bites. Give him an antihistamine that will alleviate the itchy skin and reduce the swelling. Moreover, you should search for the elements that cause the hives to not occur the rest of the time.

I have a bump on my head and it has been there for a bit possibly a cyst am i ok?
Female | 14
A cyst is an enclosed sac filled with fluid. It forms under the skin as a lump. Cysts may feel tender, and they grow slowly over time. Doctors should examine unusual bumps to identify them. Most cysts are harmless, but removal might help if it bothers you or keeps growing. If it doesn't cause issues, leaving it alone is also okay. However, getting it checked by a dermatologist provides peace of mind.

I have been bit by a person in my hand a few says ago. The area is red now. What should I do about it?
Female | 24
The redness you see might be a cause of infection. It can be managed by washing the area properly with soap and water. Next, put an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment and cover it with a bandage. If the redness starts to expand, you get a fever, or if there is pus, seek medical help immediately.

I'm 25 years old and have developed a rash on my ankle. It started really small and has increased massively since returning from holiday. It's extremely itchy and uncomfortable.
Male | 25
You have developed contact dermatitis. This is a condition caused when the skin reacts to something it has touched, such as a new lotion or plant. The affected area usually becomes red, swollen, and itchy with small blisters or hives. Try to remember if there was anything different that you came into contact with before the rash appeared. To relieve itching apply cold compresses and mild lotions. If there are no changes after several days, see a dermatologist for help.

I am suffering from a skin problem from the last 2 years. I have red circles and itching in my private parts. What should I do now? I have been taking medicines and ointments from the last 2 years. Still it is not cured. What should I do now?
Male | 17
The skin problem which is presented with red circles & itching in the private parts is most likely due to the fungal infection. Nowadays there are lots of such problems in fungal infections in terms of the resistance of fungal infections and also in terms of the duration of treatment that is required. Ideally, you need to go through the antifungal treatment and go to the dermatologist who will guide you with the right anti-fungal treatment for a prolonged period of time. Till all the rashes go back because even if a few rashes are also left it will come back. That is why visit the nearest dermatologist.

Male | 23
You may have developed a skin reaction to the post-exposure prophylaxis tablets. Reddish areas on the glans of the penis may indicate irritation or an allergy. To assist with this, you can use a mild, fragrance-free moisturizer or a hydrocortisone cream to soothe the skin. If the patches do not go away and worsen, consult a dermatologist.

Female | 58
Any lump or soft tissue can be due to many reasons like injury, inflammation, or even tumors. Moxiforce CV 625 is a medicine prescribed to treat infections, but without determining the exact cause of the lump, it is not advisable to use it. It is more preferable to have a doctor to check the lump and decide which is the best treatment.

I'm 16 years old having excessive sweaty feet and palms everytime
Male | 16
Profuse sweating of the palms and soles of the feet is called hyperhidrosis (primary focal hyperhidrosis). Genes, hormones, nervousness, or stress can cause it. Although the condition might sometimes be discomforting, it is often nothing to be worried about. To control this, put on moisture-absorbing socks, use antiperspirants that are invented for hands and feet, and practice deep breathing techniques, which reduce the impact of stress, and decrease sweating. Maintaining proper hydration levels also helps to regulate temperature. Should the situation persist or significantly affect your daily operations, then consult a dermatologist.

I had chicken pox 2 years back and the mark of chicken pox was left on my hand, 2 days back I had dipped cotton inside dettol and wrapped that on the mark. When I opened it yesterday I had 2 bubbles beside those marks on my skin
Male | 16
You may have gotten sores next to the chickenpox scars on your hand. These sores might be caused by irritation or infection. Do not scratch or pop these sores because doing so can make them more infected. Clean and dry the area. Using a soothing lotion or getting checked out by a dermatologist would also help to prevent complications.
