An infection se­ems likely in your thumb. Swelling, thick ye­llow skin, and soreness are symptoms. Cuts or scrape­s allowing bacteria entry can cause this. As tre­atment, gently cleanse­ with soap and water. Apply antibiotic ointment, then bandage­. Consult a dermatologist if no improve­ment occurs.

Yeast infection caused by bactrim

Female | 35

It is uncommon, that Bactrim might cause a yeast infection. This happens because the good and bad bacteria equilibrium in the body can be tipped by Bactrim thus allowing yeast to thrive. Among the symptoms are itching, redness, and a thick discharge. Probiotics and antifungal medicines can be used to cure this. It’s also a good idea to talk with your doctor about other possible medications.

I am suffering from a postpartum hair fall issue. What should I do?

Female | 30

Up to 50% of new moms suffer from normal postpartum hair loss due to such hormonal shifts. It typically spikes around 4-5 months and subsides in a period between six to twelve months. Pay attention to general health, softer hair washing and scalp massage. If hair loss is heavy, prolonged, or associated with scalp problems then it’s advised to see a dermatologist. You are not the only one, and your hair will likely be back to normal!

I'm 22 years old and I'm suffering from fungal infection around my private area from around last one year. Please help me what to do...

Male | 22

You have a fungal infection in your private area. Sometimes it can be due to sweat, tight clothing, or not drying properly after a shower. The main symptom is the itch and the redness. This can be treated with antifungal cream. Keep the area clean and dry. Loose-fitting cotton underwear and not scratching the area will make it better.

I'm having dandruff from last 10 years. Tried many Doctors, medicines & home remedies but still having the same problem. Looking for a good medicine to cure this problem.

Male | 26

There are a few products available to help with dandruff. Better to use those that contain selenium sulfide, zinc pyrithione, or ketoconazole. These ingredients are known to help reduce dandruff. Avoid styling products that contain alcohol, as these can dry out and irritate the scalp. Talk to your doctor about any underlying conditions it could be a sign of an infection or other medical condition.
