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.

Female | 27

A rash on your chin and forehead can result from various factors like an allergic reaction, irritant exposure, or even a skin infection. Common symptoms include redness, itching, or dryness. To alleviate discomfort, consider using a mild moisturizer or hydrocortisone cream. Avoid harsh products and refrain from scratching the area. It's essential to keep the skin clean and monitor for any worsening or additional symptoms. If the rash persists beyond a few days or shows signs of infection, I recommend consulting a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment.

I'm 25 years old and have developed a rash on my ankle. It started really small and has increased massively since returning from holiday. It's extremely itchy and uncomfortable.

Male | 25

You have developed contact dermatitis. This is a condition caused when the skin reacts to something it has touched, such as a new lotion or plant. The affected area usually becomes red, swollen, and itchy with small blisters or hives. Try to remember if there was anything different that you came into contact with before the rash appeared. To relieve itching apply cold compresses and mild lotions. If there are no changes after several days, see a dermatologist for help.

Wearing loose-fitting clothing might help reduce irritation. However, it’s essential to consult a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment, especially for the bumps.

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?

Female | 33

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!

Female | 23

Aapki haathon aur paon ki veins ka phulna aur dard hona kayi wajah se ho sakta hai, jaise blood circulation ki samasya ya phir vadeen ki kamjori. Yeh kabhi kabhi stress ya zyada khade rehne se bhi hota hai. Aap thoda rest kar sakte hain aur legs ko elevate karke rakhna bhi madadgar hoga. Kahi baar halka exercise ya stretching bhi faydemand rah sakta hai. Lekin agar yeh samasya badh rahi hai ya aapko bahut pareshani ho rahi hai, toh ek cardiologist se milna zaroori hai. Wo aapki health ko samajhne me behtar madad kar sakte hain.

Female | 21

These are common issues at your age. They happen because your skin makes too much oil and dead skin cells clog your pores. To help, use a sunblock with SPF 30 or higher to protect your skin. A good treatment would include gentle cleansing with salicylic acid, use non-comedogenic moisturizers, and see a dermatologist for specific suggestions about your skin.

Female | 30

Acne management is a comprehensive approach. That acquires removing of oil using proper facewash, containing salicylic acid, or lactic acid, then avoiding oiling of the scalpels and using tropicals containing cleaner and antibiotics and if hormonal imbalances there, that has to be corrected. So please visit our nearest dermatologist for the same.
