Answered on 12th Sept '24
You have questions about test results. Positive HSV IgM means recent herpes infection. 1.256 suggests a low positive result. The test doesn't specify oral or genital herpes. Symptoms include blisters, itching, pain. Discuss with a dermatologist. They'll evaluate further.

I had very active warts on my mouth and I got pRP with micro Needling. And I have taken two sessions of this .But I did not notice any difference in it. Can you tell me after how many months does the result of Micro Medlining with PRT appear properly on the face?
Female | 22
You have been using PRP with micro-needling on your active warts on the mouth but have not seen any results yet. Warts are often obstinate and require a long time to disappear. Generally speaking, the treatment can take up to 6 months of regular sessions to begin showing results. Keep going to your sessions and be patient. If you don't see improvement after a few more sessions, talk to a dermatologist.

I have recently had scrotum exploration survey 32 hours ago and was wondering how long before it can get wet and would it be okay to smoke cannabis. Also i have been prescribed to take 3 co-amoxiclav a day for 14 days, what other pain killers can i use.
Male | 18
It is suggested that a person waits at least 48 hours after they have explored their scrotum before getting it wet. This is to prevent infections. In addition, one should refrain from smoking marijuana while they are recovering to facilitate healing. If you are still experiencing pain, you could take paracetamol or ibuprofen alongside co-amoxiclav.

It could be due to various reasons like allergies, skin infections, or even a reaction to the sanitizer you applied. Given your overweight condition and thyroid issue, it's important to see a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime, avoid scratching to prevent any further irritation.

have used caladryl lotion on my face from past 4 days (overnight) ...i am feeling very dry and that area has developed some tiny red swelling...also i am using skincare routine from past 15 days
Male | 17
The sign appears that you perhaps have an allergy to the Caladryl cream. On the other hand, I suggest you should stop the lotion use immediately and go to the dermatologist for a thorough examination and necessary treatment. The doctor who should consult for this disease would be a dermatologist.

Female | 17
It must be understood that any discharge from your belly button should not be taken lightly, as it could point to an infection or some other kind of medical condition. I suggest seeing a GP or dermatologist, as they can effectively identify and manage the condition.

Fungal infection near scrotume ke dono side par dad jaise kuch ho gya hai or iteaching hoti hai
Male | 24
You might have a fungal issue around your scrotum area. Fungal infections cause red, itchy bumps. These thrive in warm, damp spots. Keep that area dry and clean. Use an antifungal cream, it may help. If not better soon, check with a dermatalogist for advice.

I am a 16 year old female who has only one known allergy, (dust mites), but my hands are hot and seem to swell slightly after using Clorox wipes for an extended period of time today. This has never happened before. My finger looks odd as well, and I’m concerned.
Female | 16
You may be having a slight allergic reaction to the Clorox wipes. Hot, swollen hands and a strange-looking finger could mean contact dermatitis, which happens when your skin doesn’t agree with certain things. Wash your hands with cool water and mild soap to make them feel better, then put on some lotion that will soothe them. Don’t use those wipes right now – and if it doesn’t get any better or feels worse at all after doing this stuff try talking with a dermatologist.

i have vein type structure on my penis glans from 3 months. what's that?
Male | 22
If you notice some vein-like structures on your penis glans, those are likely just normal blood vessels that have become more visible. You may notice this more during arousal. Usually, it’s not anything to worry about and doesn’t need treatment. However, if they are causing you pain or discomfort, or if they have appeared suddenly, it would be best for you to see a doctor so they can be evaluated further.

Hello Its look like a rashes on foreskin of my penis and dryness what should i use
Male | 27
It sounds like you may have a skin problem on your penis known as balanitis. Red rashes and dryness on the foreskin could be caused by this. It can result from poor hygiene; being irritated by certain soaps, detergents, or even a yeast infection. Thoroughly clean it with warm water and mild soap slowly and then apply fragrance-free moisturizer. If it doesn't improve, contact a dermatologist.

I have skin problem since 15 years. For I have taken melanocyl ointment and tablet for 4 months, after this now I mfacing skin ulcer like symptoms and blister, how can I cure this?
Female | 28
Your skin condition seems worrisome. The medication might not work or you may react adversely. Ulcers and blisters indicate allergy or severe skin issues. Stop using ointment and tablets right now. Consult a dermatologist urgently for proper treatment.

I have a rectangular patch of swelling or inflammation on my lower leg. It is about 4 inches in length and 3 inches in width. It has a small lump inside of it as well. I do not feel any pain nor do I think it is tender. I’ve had it for maybe about 5 or 6 moths and it has now gotten any smaller or bigger. The only medication I’ve. even taking is unisom for a few years now for insomnia and now for nausea because I am about 6 weeks pregnant. I also take prenatal. Why might I have these swelling/inflammation?
Female | 21
You may have a lipoma, a lump of fat lies beneath the skin. It is painless, harmless. Its size remains constant, generally. Your medications likely didn't cause it. Still, seek a doctor's examination for confirmation. If it grows, changes color, or brings pain, definitely consult a dermatologist.

Hi, Im 23 years old, been taking treatments for hyperpigmentation from various doctors and recently a doctor suggested q switch laser of 4 sittings, I got the first N I personally feel tat my face n neck have gone one shade darker thsn before, now confused if I shd take the remaining sittings or not, Please clarify
Female | 23
The skin appears darker or more pigmented usually after the first session of Q-switch laser treatment for hyperpigmentation. The treatment causes a temporary inflammation in the skin, which increases melanin production and darkens of the skin.
Talk to your dermatalogist as they can adjust the treatment parameters or suggest alternative treatment options based on your skin type and concerns.

skin rash on shoulders and collarbone area.. and part of my arms for about 4 months constant... what might it be?
Male | 35
This might be an early chain of reactions of skin inflammation. I believe that it takes the expertise of a dermatologist for a correct diagnosis. The expert can prescribe medications depending on the root of the migraine issue.

Female | 26
Allergies that occur are redness, itchiness, and material on the skin. By the way, doing an antihistamine is the best way to deal with the situation. Stop using the gel at once. Use a mild cleanser to wash your face gently. Use an odorless, non-irritating moisturizer to keep the skin moist. Contact a dermatologist if the skin problems continue or get worse.

Hi DR. I am 22 years old. I am very worried because of my hair fall randomly. Even my scalp is completely exposed.I have not taken any medicine yet. What is the solution??
Male | 22
Losing some hair is normal, but if you notice that a lot of hair is falling out and your scalp becomes visible, it is something to be concerned about. Hair can fall due to a variety of things like stress, lack of proper nutrition or genetics. To help yourself out, make sure you eat well-balanced meals, try to reduce stress as much as possible and use mild hair care products – However, if none of these seem working for you then visit a dermatologist.

I am a boy and I am 22 years old. I have a lot of itching under and around my penis. More this summer. Been using Ringguard for a long time. When I use the ointment it goes away. If left out it itches again. Tell me how to get rid of it
Male | 22
You may have jock itch, a fungal infection. Itching around the penis is a symptom. It grows in warm, moist areas, so summer can cause it. Ringguard helps, but it may return. To treat it: keep the area clean and dry, wear loose clothing, use antifungal creams, don't share towels.

Female | 16
A troublesome ear infection is what you're saying. The pus and clear goop coming out, the hard lumps, and the pain, are examples of a serious issue. The infection could have gone into your ear cartilage and therefore caused the swelling and rawness. A visit to a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis is a must as some antibiotics may be prescribed to kill the infection and prevent further complications.

I got acne on whole face first there is pimple and it convert into mark or acne . Or having white spot ,uneven tone the texture is very bad like hyperpigmentation.
Female | 23
Pimples occur when oil and dead skin cells block hair follicles thus leading to a condition called acne. The marks are usually a result of inflammation in the skin. Instances that can be white spots and not consistent in color are marks of hyperpigmentation. Be gentle to your skin, do not pick your skin, and use products with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide.
