Should I Continue Cefoclox XL for Boil?
I have been taking Cefoclox XL twice a day for the last 7 days for a boil on my back. The boil has almost disappeared, but not completely. Should I continue taking Cefoclox?

Answered on 15th Aug '24
It's good to hear that the boil has almost disappeared, but since it's not completely gone, it's important to consult a doctor before continuing the medication. Visit a dermatologist, as they can assess your condition and advise whether you need to continue Cefoclox or consider other treatments.

I am 27 years. I have a problem with my mouth and tongue. Sometimes. When im stress my tongue will retract. And now, i have lot of canker sore in my mouth and tongue. What should i do to make it heal faster. Thanks
Female | 27
Canker sores are small, painful ulcers that are so troublesome that one can find it hard to speak or eat. Stress can be a possible reason for them as well. To promote healing, try rinsing your mouth with salt water about three times a day. Try to avoid spicy and acidic foods that can aggravate the sores. Regularly brushing your teeth and mouth can also speed up the healing process.

I’m having a boil in my private part it’s increasing and not painful
Female | 29
Boils are typical and often disappear but it is better to have them treated. If you have a boil on your private part that is growing but not hurting, it may be a sign that you have an infection. Clean and fresh air is okay. You can apply warm compresses to the area to help it drain. In the case that it doesn't improve or the pain starts, you should consult a dermatologist.

I am 20 years old female and have moles and scars on face so I request you to suggest best treatment for removal moles and scars and my face's skin is sensitive and oily.
Female | 20
There are a few treatments available to help remove moles and scars on the face. The best treatment for you will depend on the severity of your moles and scars.
For milder cases of moles and scars, over-the-counter topical creams and ointments can be used. These products typically contain retinol, collagen, hyaluronic acid, and other ingredients that help to reduce the appearance of moles and scars.
For more severe cases, you may need to consider laser treatments or chemical peels. Laser treatments help to remove moles and scars by targeting and destroying the cells that cause them. Chemical peels help to remove scars and moles by removing the outer layers of skin, causing the skin to heal with a smoother, more even appearance.
It is important to note that these treatments require a professional to administer them, so be sure to consult with a dermatologist to determine the best treatment for your skin. Additionally, it is important to note that these treatments may cause redness, swelling, and even scarring, so it is important to be aware of the potential risks before proceeding.

I feel like i m having eczema allergy from last 3 weeks my whole body is very itchy and tiny bumbs on my hand fingers and feet and recently i had cold and that was i mean i never had such bad cold ever before just little fever but this time it was really bad fever headache and cough everything and i still have cough and from last few days i m smelling blood in my throat
Female | 18
Skin can get itchy and small bumps may appear. This could be eczema. A cold might trigger these issues. The cough and blood smell from your throat relate to being sick. Moisturize skin to ease itching and bumps. Don't scratch. Drink lots of fluids. If problems persist, visit a dermatologist. They can diagnose your condition and develop a treatment plan.

I am 28 yo female and recently got sclerotherapy done on both legs (last Wednesday so it has been over a week). My veins have gotten worse, they are purple and more visible and quite sensitive to the touch. There is no bruising. My dermatologist said I may have had an allergic reaction to the treatment and suggested I get antihistamines. Will the veins subside?
Female | 28
Veins do appear more visible naturally after sclerotherapy treatment, but they usually improve over time as the body reabsorbs the treated veins. Its best to discuss your concerns with your dermatologist and follow the recommended treatment. Avoid prolonged sitting or standing and to wear compression stockings as recommended to decrease swelling and heal faster.

I don't know if it's jock itch because I sweat alot in that area or its am STI because I am sexually active
Male | 24
Either a jock itch or an STI can cause groin itching. Jock itch results from sweat and friction, leading to redness, itching, and rashes. An STI may have similar symptoms but is related to unprotected sex. Use antifungal creams for jock itch and practice safe sex to prevent STIs. Maintaining good hygiene is also important.

I have treated Chlamydia it can transmitted to wife
Male | 28
If you had this sickness and got help, your wife needs to get checked too. Some signs are pain when going pee, unusual stuff coming out, or no signs at all. To stop spreading it, do not touch private parts until you both get help.

I have a lot of dark moles like structures on my face and skin, will I be able to remove it permanently. If yes, kindly let me know the method and cost. Thank you :)
Common procedures are laser therapy, excision or cryotherapy depending on the type and size of moles. Based on the methods chosen, number of moles or location can vary dramatically in costs. It is essential to seek advice from a dermatologist or any skincare specialist who could analyze your situation, suggest appropriate options and give an idea of the possible costs. The removal procedure should be carried out by a licensed practitioner to ensure safety and reduce the degree of scarring.

How to stop hair thinning and how to stop hair loss
Male | 23
Hair can become thinner, with less volume, or even fall out, leaving bare patches. Genetics and hormones play a role, and stress isn't helpful. A poor diet can also contribute, as well as some medical conditions. If it persists, seek expertise from a dermatologist.

Female | 17
Acne occurs when skin pores get clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Accutane (isotretinoin) is a strong medication used to treat severe acne by controlling sebum production. However, it can have serious side effects, so it's important to talk to a dermatologist. They can help you weigh the pros and cons and decide if it's the right option for you.

White spots on your skin resembling watery on your hands and legs may be a condition known as eczema. Eczema can cause your skin to become dry, itchy, and red. It takes place when the epidermis barrier is damaged. You could help with eczema by keeping the skin moisturized with mild creams or ointments.

I have dark tan black on my neck
Male | 30
When your crook finger is deep, we call that acanthosis nigricans. It only appears in thick, dark aluminum and is always misdiagnosed as skin abnormalities. Weight and diabetes are the main accused ones. Sometimes, it can also relate to hormonal problems. The proper approach is to eat healthy and manage your weight.

I am suffering from ringworm from last 4 months I have used so many creame but not use, can please suggest powerful treatment for ringworm for short duration
Male | 18
Ringworm is persistent and tough to treat. It is a fungal infection causing circular, red, itchy patches on the skin. This fungus thrives in warm, damp environments. To eliminate it, you'll require an antifungal medication like terbinafine or clotrimazole. Keep the affected area clean and dry. Consistent use of the medication for two weeks should help resolve it.

Post acne erythema and macular erythematous scars are common in few individuals as the acne subside. Sometimes underlying Rosacea component may also contribute to redness. Oral isotretinoin itself can cause mild erythema as long as the drug is taken if sunscreen is not used appropriately. Quasi long pulse mode of QS yag laser, topical drugs like topical Ivermectin, metronidazole for underlying rosaceaetc are prescribed by the Dermatologists. Please consult a Dermatologist for the same.

Male | 41
You appear to be dealing with a disease called oral leukoplakia. The condition can come as a result of smoking and not having good dental hygiene. The main signs are the appearance of the white patch and rashes together with a burning sensation. It is important to throw away tobacco and take care of the mouth more effectively. In addition, take a dentist's appointment to make sure you get the proper treatment.
