Can I Ice Sunburned Leg After Softball Injury?

I fell asleep outside and got a painful sunburn on my leg. I went to softball practice and got hit in the leg with a softball. Am I allowed to ice it because I thought you couldn't ice a sunburn but it hurts to put pressure on it.

Sunburns are very painful, and getting hit by a softball on top of that is even worse. Applying ice won't harm the sunburn and can help reduce pain and swelling. Wrap the ice in a towel to protect your skin. If the pain is severe or doesn't improve, see a dermatologist for proper treatment.

Nostril laser hair removal

Female | 44

Nostril hair removal procedure is a cosmetic procedure that can be performed by a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon with a valid license. It is a safe and effective way to remove unwanted hair from the nostrils. If you are interested in this procedure, I would advise you to consult with a qualified specialist in dermatology or plastic surgery.

I am 23 years old and I did a breast surgery on 17th of march 2024 for removal of lump. The wound is yet to heal now. Few days after the surgery i noticed leakages from the stitches so i went back to the doctor then he stitched it again whivh made the healing process very slow. What can I do to heal the opened wound on my right breast? I find it difficult to bathe. I was prescribed ciprotab by the doctor and vitamin c (but I got the coloured ones instead) or should I have been using the white one? I already stopped the ciprotab

Female | 23

To help the wound heal, ensure that you keep it clean and dry, wash the area gently with some mild soap and water then dry. Any rough movements which might disrupt the stitches should be avoided. Consult with Your Doctor on the right type of vitamin C use, usually white because colored ones could have added ingredients. Should there be signs like increased pain, redness, swelling, or pus, then do seek medical Help immediately as this could mean infection.

Female | 24

Your skin is giving you a lot of trouble such as clogged pores, uneven pigmentation, acne, acne scars, and dullness. These may be caused by bacteria, the shedding of dead skin cells, and inflammation. You can try using a gentle cleanser, products that respect the skin barrier, medications that contain salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, and sun protection.

Hello Doctor, I am a 30 year old female and I recently noticed open pores on my face, what should I do? My daily routine is: use himalaya neem face wash, then moisturize skin and I happen to have oily & dull skin. Can you pls suggest what should I do? Thank you!

Female | 30

I would like to start by recommending a daily skincare routine for the problems you are facing. Start with Oil control cleansers with AHA's or BHA's to clear the oil and dirt from your face 2-4 times a day. Use a Vit C serum or day serum in the morning if you are at home and you can add sunscreen on top if you are going to go out and will get exposed to sunlight. Evening, after wash use a toner to neutralize and calm your skin. Before bed, use a coat of moisturizer and additional retinol-based anti-aging serum to finish. If it's a major concern, please contact a dermatologist.

Hi, i've got a few chickenpox scars on my forehead which i would like to improve. I've heard that since i'm young and can stimulate my collagen production treatsments such as laser and dermapens can improve my scars for a lifetime. Is this true?

Male | 24

Chickenpox cause­s scars sometimes after he­aling the skin. Treatments including lase­r and dermapens help re­duce scars. They stimulate collage­n production in the skin. New collagen improve­s scar appearance. Being young assists scar he­aling through collagen. These tre­atments may be effe­ctive for you due to your age. Howe­ver, results differ from pe­rson to person.

I m 19 years old female girl.i m suffering from darker skin and become darkspot problem on face area.please suggest me best skin whitening and brightening body treatment and also suggest best treatment for removing darkspot

Female | 19

Darker skin and dark spots can occur from excessive sun exposure, hormonal changes, or skin inflammation. This issue can be solved by the application of skin whitening and brightening treatments which contain substances such as vitamin C, niacinamide, or kojic acid. Also, think about treatments like chemical peels or laser therapy to aid in the removal of dark spots. To ensure your skin's safety, always wear sunscreen to shield it from the sun and other harmful rays.

I am 25 years old female, i facing with very severe butt achne from last 5 years, it has been increasing due to prolonged sitting due to wfh, please suggest some otc medication or solution

Female | 25

It's a common issue when sweat and oils get trapped in our skin pores. Prolonged sitting can make it even worse. The best over-the-counter treatment is to use a mild cleanser with salicylic acid to shrink the pores. To that end, also, take breaks from sitting and keep the area clean and dry. Stay hydrated and wear loose, breathable clothing.

I am 33 years old .I am suffering from PCOD & now I am facing hair fall problem in badly .can you help me to grow new hair

Female | 33

PCOD can trigger the hormonal imbalance which in turn causes hair loss. Some signs are irregular menstruation and acne. To promote new hair growth, you can try consuming a balanced diet full of fruits and vegetables, controlling stress, and keeping a normal weight. You may talk to your doctor about possible therapies for hair growth as well.
