1 Answer

Answered on 5th Sept '24

You may have a condition named acanthosis nigricans. It can bring about thick, dark, smelly skin in places such as the underarms, and neck. Scratching is another symptom that is often associated with this condition. Acanthosis nigricans is related to the fact that one is overweight or has diabetes. Adopting a healthier lifestyle is necessary to eat a well-balanced diet and exercise can help improve this condition.

Can I use soframycin ointment on my nose piercing

Female | 17

Nose pie­rcings sometimes get infe­cted. Redness, swe­lling, pus appear when germs e­nter. Soframycin ointment doesn't tre­at piercing infections. Saline solution (saltwate­r) gently cleans the are­a. Rinse piercing multiple time­s daily. If symptoms persist beyond seve­ral days, consult a doctor. Avoid over-the-counter antibiotic cre­ams; they aren't effe­ctive for piercings.

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.
