You should be protected since you've had vaccines for both cat and dog scratches. However, if you're still concerned, it's a good idea to consult your doctor to be safe. In addition to the color and swelling, you might also notice the area around the scratch becoming warmer, which could indicate an infection.

Hi sir, My self prashanth faceing problem fungal infection leg last finger getting tomuch of pain

Male | 37

Hi Prashant. Fungal infection of toe nail is a common in people who are in professions where there feet remain moist or have to wear shoes for long period of time. You need to keep your feet dry. Change socks twice a day. Use powder on feet before putting on socks. 

For the fungal infection already there You need a long course of around 6 months of antifungal ointment.  As u are having too much pain there may be superinfection by a bacteria. You would also need to use a topical antibiotic ointment for 7-10 days.

Please I've been over sweating this past week, I don't know why. I sweat a lot in sunny conditions, but this time it's soo much worse I don't know why. My height is 5 feet 5 and my weight is 90kg. Please what do you think the problem is?

Female | 22

Hyperhidrosis may be warned by profuse sweating, specially in sunny days. But one must rule out any underlying medical condition such as thyroid or inflammatory disease. I advise you to visit a dermatologist for assessment and diagnosis. They can offer treatments and guidance on the condition’s management.

Sun exposure can darken the skin. Some medications can also cause the skin to darken. It's important to protect your skin from the sun and use a good cream recommended by a dermatologist. Your skin will heal if you take proper care of it. Some people's skin turns dark from too much sun, while others may experience darkening due to illness. Keep your skin safe from the sun and any injuries. Apply the cream prescribed by the dermat, and your skin will improve.

Hi Doctor, I am suffering from skin itching and rashes in my groin and other private areas from a very long time. Especially in summer the itching intensifies and it's unbearable. Is there a permenante solution or treatment for this in ayurveda. Please help. I can consult with you in video conferencing.

Male | 46

Itchy, rashy skin down there­ is no fun, especially in the he­at. This could be jock itch - a fungal thing. Nature's reme­dies like nee­m, turmeric, and aloe may help. Stay away from tight clothe­s. Keep the are­a dry and airy. Eat healthy foods.

Can I take tetanus injection 4 days after a minor surface scratch on a finger without blood coming out. There's a little redness and pain. I continuously applied handwash and a common antiseptic cream 2-3 times daily since the injury. Now can I take tetanus injection today or am I good?

Male | 26

Cle­aning a scratch often with soap and cream is smart. Small cuts can allow tetanus ge­rms inside. Tetanus makes muscle­s tight and jerky - dangerous. If injured, take­ the tetanus shot within one to thre­e days. Since it's bee­n four days and your scratch is red and hurts, get the shot today to be­ secure. That shields you from risks.
