Risk of HIV from Cut Contact with Blood on Cloth
I had a small cut on my hand that came into contact with blood on clothe. I didn't see any blood on my cut afterward or any wetness. Could I be infected with HIV?
Dermatologist
Answered on 4th Sept '24
HIV does not spread easily from dried blood. The virus dies quickly outside the body. A small cut touching dried blood is very unlikely to cause infection. Unbroken skin protects against HIV entering the body. Being cautious with blood is wise. However, in this case, the chance of getting HIV is extremely low. It's still good to watch for any unusual symptoms. But you probably have nothing to worry about!

If the dark circles are not responding to the creams That means that they might be due to the loss of tissue or hollowness of the eyes and that can be corrected with under-eye fillers. You can contact the dermatologist for the same.

I have infection on my penis. It is more than one year. I don't know how to treate this.
Male | 25
You might have a fungal infection on your penis. Symptoms include scratching, a rash, and a red spot. This can happen when the body is exposed to moisture or when the area is unclean. To help improve it, make sure to keep the area dry and clean. Use the antifungal cream from the pharmacy, but if it doesn't get better, you should see a dermatologist.

i have a pimple thats bothering me for 2 years (it wont go away)
Male | 19
You seem to have a long-lasting pimple, known as a cyst. These pimples linger, painful, and deep within the skin. To aid healing, gently cleanse the area. Don't squeeze or pick at it. After two years, the cyst persists. Seeking advice from a dermatologist is recommended if discomfort continues.

Face swelling due to cold
Male | 38
When you have a cold, your face may swell as your body fights off germs, increasing blood flow to the area. This extra blood can make your face look puffy. Rest, hydration, and a cold compress can help reduce the swelling. However, if it persists or gets worse, it's important to consult a doctor, as it could indicate something more serious than a regular cold.

Male | 24
The penis area hair loss reason can be different. The rubbing of garments or activities is a common one. Also, psoriasis or fungal infections may cause hair to drop in that location. Use antidandruff medicine if it itches or appears red, keep it neat and dry besides dressing with comfortable clothes regularly is essential for preventing more hair fall in this region.

I have an infection on my penis. Please guide me for treatment
Male | 39
It sounds like a penis infection, which can be caused by either bacteria, fungi, or a virus. Symptoms like redness, pain, itching, swelling, or discharge may occur. To treat, the patient should keep the part clean and dry, avoid sexual contact, until it heals, and use a topical antifungal or antibiotic cream that can be purchased over-the-counter. If it doesn't improve, go to a dermatologist.

Hi my daughter has a spot on her tummy and it's painful to touch and it's all red with little white spots around it
Female | 4
Your daughter most probably has a skin infection called Impetigo. A painful, red spot with white spots around it is a symptom of this illness. This is due to bacteria entering the skin, which usually happens when a cut or insect bite is present. To deal with this issue, keep the area clean, apply antibiotic cream, and cover it with a bandage. Make sure she doesn't scratch it to prevent spreading the infection.

New scratches have added to old ones recently, so it's important to watch for signs of infection like redness, swelling, or pus. Clean the wound with soap and water, and monitor it closely. If you notice any of these symptoms, see a doctor right away.

I am 20 years old. I using the steroids cream in long years. I cant stop now. How to stop it?
Female | 20
Long-term use of this steroid cream should be undergone with caution because it may result in some negative effects e.g. skin thinning and/or infections. The use of the cream should be halted gradually. Cutting the dose of the cream immediately may lead to the onset of the withdrawal symptoms. This calls for consulting a dermatologist.

Female | 25
It is suggested to consult a dermatologist on the development of dark spots on the skin even when using sunscreen. A dermatologist will have a look at your skin and determine the necessary treatment to be executed. They also can manage other problems such as low vitamin D3 levels and allergies to hay fever.

A red colored and long mass type thing is coming out from belly button. thick yellow discharge also came out sometimes from belly button. I have no pain, no swelling, no discomfort, nothing
Female | 24
It looks as though you burgeon an umbilical granuloma which is a small piece of tissue that protrudes from your belly button. The yellow discharge may be an indication of the infection. In some instances, it could come on without any pain or swelling. To do this, you have to keep the area clean and dry. It is also possible that you will need antibiotics when the infection gets worse.

looking inflammation or can say Balanitis infection on front skin. Please suggest which doctor to consult Dermatologist/Urologist/Analogists or sexologist.
Male | 60
Balanitis is an inflammation of the skin located at the front end of the penis. If addressing the issue, professionals, such as dermatologists and urologists, who are experts in skin and urinary system disease may be consulted. The issue of balanitis springs from a lack of cleanliness, some skin conditions, or various infections. Recommendations from doctors include cleaning the area, prescription of medicated creams, or, if there is an infection, they might need to take antibiotics.

I am having penis infection ,white item in the inner skin, upper skin also cut..Sometimes irritating , slight pain.
Male | 63
Your situation hints at a penile infection, possibly caused by various factors. The white substance is likely to discharge, while those cuts suggest irritation or infection. Pain and irritation are the usual symptoms of infections. For relief, maintain cleanliness and dryness, avoid harsh soaps, and wear loose undergarments. However, visiting a dermatologist is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Can you suggest to me the best hair transplant technique? And after my hair transplant surgery will I have to take off from my work for a few days??
Male | 32
The choice of the best hair transplant technique depends on various factors, including your hair loss pattern, donor hair availability, and your preferences. Two common methods are Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). FUT involves removing a strip of the scalp for grafts, leaving a linear scar, while FUE involves individually extracting follicles, leaving minimal scarring. Regarding recovery, it's advisable to take a few days off work after the surgery. The initial recovery period typically involves some swelling, redness, and scabbing around the transplant area.
