Shaving can often result in the development of red, inflamed spots on the body which can as well develop into blackheads. It occurs when the facial hair follicles become clogged by oils and dead skin cells. Substitution with waxing might be a good idea because hair is extracted differently. For back acne or upper arm acne, one should wash the area gently with a salicylic acid cleanser to let the pores breathe. Additionally, you should avoid wearing tight-fitting clothes and sweating too much to keep your skin less irritated. If the acne concerns you, you can consult a dermatologist.

You Suggest Me that i can get cleanup on face because I am teenager

Male | 19

Most youngsters need a face cleanup. When you see that your pores are clogged, whether it is blackheads, or pimples, the cause of these things can be either dirt, bacteria, or skin oil production. Aside from that, do not forget to cleanse your face twice a day with a mild oil-free cleanser, to make your face glow and not raise the probability of skin infection, use a face moisturizer and do not keep touching your face.

Hello My name is simran actually my outer part of vulva area is infected and now it's itching alot

Female | 23

You may have a yeast infection. It can be responsible for such problems as itching, redness, and sometimes a thick discharge. Antibiotics, tight clothing, or a weakened immune system can be blamed for yeast infections. You can buy antifungal creams over-the-counter can ease the itching and help you get rid of the infection. You should be wearing only cotton underwear and avoiding those products with scents to ensure you are not further irritating the area.

Ingrown nail. Looking for dermatologist

Male | 23

In case of an ingrown nail, it is recommended to visit a dermatologist. They can evaluate the severity of the other ingrown nail, provide its proper care and offer treatment alternatives. In mild cases, soaking the affected area in warm water and lifting gently under the ingrown edge may work. On the contrary, in case of more severe ingrown nail or recurrent one surgical intervention is indicated. Do not try to deal with it yourself to avoid complications or infections. The healthcare professional should be consulted for proper treatment specific to your case.

Hello! I am 29-year-old female, got stung by a jellyfish on 6th September in my right leg, pain was quite severe, we went to the emergency, I got some painkillers, now I use local and oral antihistamines, but the scars are still there and sometimes there is swelling and itching. No pain anymore. What else should I do? Is local methylprednisolone a good idea? Can I go to the swimming pool and/or run?

Female | 29

Jellyfish stings are common and can leave scars, swelling, and itching even after the pain subsides. Applying antihistamine creams can help with itching and oral antihistamines are recommended for swelling. If symptoms persist, a local methylprednisolone injection may be considered. It's best to avoid swimming and running until the scars heal to prevent further irritation.

I have sweating glands under eyes. Can that be cured. If yes, how?

Sweating under the eyes is abnormal and may be an indication of such a problem as hyperhidrosis- this can signify something wrong in numerous parts of the body that appear to sweat profusely. Treatment alternatives range from topical antiperspirants, Botox injections, oral treatments to surgery if necessary. It is best to contact a dermatologist who can diagnose your specific condition and advise you on the most suitable treatment. They can give you a detailed assessment to find the root cause of your sweating and create an individual treatment plan that will help them deal with all these symptoms effectively. Remember, key to effective addressing of hyperhidrosis is the correct diagnosis as well as tailored treatment.

Ring worm infection all over the body.

Male | 15

Ringworm isn't from worms, it's a funky fungus skin infection. Scatte­red red, scaly, itchy patches appe­ar on your body. See a dermatologist for antifungal cream or pill tre­atment. Keep skin cle­an, and dry to prevent spreading. Don't share­ personal items - that's how it travels.

Hello I'm completed vaccine of ant rabies last may 22, 2024, but my cat bite me today, do I need to get vaccinated again?

Male | 15

Your rabies vaccine was completed last May, so you’re protected from getting infected by it. However, if a cat bit you today, watch out for any fever, headache or weakness that is abnormal. Seek medical attention immediately should you see any of these symptoms.
