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.

Skin ko Normal kaise karee please suggest any treatment for skin peeling.
Female | 18
Some people have skin peels. This happens for many reasons. The skin can get dry. Or it can get burned by the sun. An infection could make skin peel, too. Some skin conditions also cause peeling. When skin peels, it may itch, turn red, and flake off. To help peeling skin get better, use lotion often. Drink lots of water each day. Stay out of the strong sun. Gently rub off dead skin. If peeling does not stop or gets worse, see a dermatologist.

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.

I am 29 years old female suffering from ringworm/ bacterial scalp infection. I have consulted family doctor. He suggested flucolab -150 and some other medicine too. I am worried about hair fall and bald patches on skin. Please recommend shampoo to reduce redness and infection
Female | 29
Bacterial infection and ringworm are two different things. Ringworm is fungal infection that presents rings generally over the areas where there is more sweating like thigh area, under the breast or armpit area and that is to be treated by anti-fungal medication for long time like 1-2 months. Bacterial infection is the one which is present with the puss and boils and has to be treated with antibiotics. Fungal infection on the scalp is very uncommon in adults and its only a problem of pre-school children. Proper diagnosis is required for the treatment to work. Consult a dermatologist for the same.

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.

Hello doctor please I have STI which is itching me seriously and I have reddish pimples on my pennis itching me
Male | 30
You may be suffering from a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that can lead to the problem of open wounds and eczema on the penis. These signs might be a clue to a syndrome called herpes or genital warts. These infections can be spread from one person to another through sexual contact. Diagnosis and treatment should be done by a sexologist. It is the best decision to put away sexual activity until you visit a doctor.

I have these little rashes on my neck and I need them to go away I need some type of cream or medicine that would help it so my neck wouldn’t have all of these rashes on my neck it’s so annoying
Female | 20
These welts might result from skin irritations, allergies, or even some skin disorders such as eczema. To help them disappear, you could get an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream. This cream will reduce the swelling. Avoid itching or scratching to prevent further irritation. Also, remember to clean the affected area and keep it dry. But if these rashes are still there after doing all these things then go see a dermatologist.

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.

Male | 18
You have been suffering from an intense heat all over your body for a month. This could be due to dry skin, insect bites, or an allergic reaction. Use a soft and gentle soap and moisturizing lotion, and avoid scratching. If the itching continues, you might want to seek out a dermatologist for advice.

I am an 39 year old lady I am having dark acne , my chin is so black I am having black heads and white heads my skin is getting to dull . How these all problems believe my face? Hope you can help me
Female | 39
This could be because you have blackheads and whiteheads. They can be the ones that dull your skin. Acne is caused by the build-up of clogged pores, too much oil, and bacteria. Washing your face with a gentle cleanser, not squeezing the pimples, and using non-comedogenic skincare products that won't clog pores are some ways to help. Visit a dermatologist for more tips.

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.

Allergic reactions bring skin discomfort - rashes, redness, itchiness, bumps. Foods, plants, pet dander often trigger them. Avoid allergy sources. Cool compresses soothe rashes. Antihistamines help, too. But if symptoms persist, visit a dermatologist.

Can hair loss at crown be treated effectively?
Male | 29
Hair loss in the crown area, often called a bald spot, is usually hereditary. Yes, it runs in the family! Other factors like stress, poor diet, and certain illnesses can also contribute. DHT blockers like Propecia (finasteride) and minoxidil (Rogaine) may slow hair loss in men. It's always best to consult a dermatologist for advice.

Male | 30
You might be dealing with allergies, which could be contributing to your constant sneezing. The whitening of hair can be related to various factors, including stress or genetics. I recommend visiting an allergist for sneezing and an endocrinologist or dermatologist for your hair concerns to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.

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.
