Why is my thumb tip swollen and painful?
I have swollen thumb fingertip yellow hard skin on affected area and tender on other part very painfull

Answered on 23rd May '24
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.

Hi ,iam Harshith Reddy J Iam suffering from pimples I have consulted a doctor near me and he said me to use the BETNOVATE-N skin cream iam using it but no use of it so please tell the solution for this pimples
Male | 14
Pimples are often caused by clogged pores, excess oil production, bacteria and hormones. Using Betnovate-N cream may not be the best option for treating pimples because it contains steroids that can worsen acne in the long run. Instead, you can try gentle cleansers, non-comedogenic moisturizers, and benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. Remember, consistency is key when treating pimples. If your pimples persist, it’s best to consult a dermatologist for tailored advice.

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 am 18 years old . I am having excessive hair loss for past 2 months . I was stressful due to exams in the 2 months and my periods have also been delayed. I am not under any medications . I have dandruff for more than 2 years by now
Female | 18
It sounds like you have been experiencing a lot of stress recently due to your exams, and this can sometimes lead to hair loss and delayed periods. Dandruff can also contribute to hair loss. It's important to manage your stress levels, eat a balanced diet, and use a gentle anti-dandruff shampoo. If the hair loss continues, it's a good idea to talk to a dermatologist for further advice.

Male | 21
You are dealing with a penile skin infection. Among the symptoms you mentioned, itching, redness, and dryness are the most common signs of this type of infection. The causes could come from fungus or bacteria. For treatment, you should start with the habit of keeping it clean and dry. Another option could be to use over-the-counter antifungal cream, but if you are not getting better, it is best to go to the dermatologist and get more treatment.

Dr. I Have frequent swelling on one side of my tongue. Looked and saw nothing. There is no difficulty in eating. It's a terrible stretch and not even a braise. It's been a few days the docter. Showed me that it was an ulcer and gave me medicine. But there was no change. What is the docter? It's not like this all the time. Comes and goes. Frome time to time. When it occurs. There is a terrible brain fog. Why are you afraid to say something like this? No teeth chatter sometimes it happens. In the morning, or in the afternoon, or in the night or in a day, sometimes if it happens today, it wont happen tomorrow and the next day its like the ?
Female | 24
Tongue swelling could be due to an oral ulcer, and it may cause discomfort and other issues like fatigue and teeth chattering. Avoid spicy foods, maintain gentle oral hygiene, and if the swelling persists or medication doesn’t help, I recommend consulting a dentist or oral surgeon for further treatment options.

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 have a lump between 1-2 inches below my left ear, where my jawline meets my neck. Is this serious, or likely just a lipid deposit?
Male | 17
You have a lump below your left ear where your jaw meets your neck. This could be a swollen lymph node, often due to infections, or a lipoma, which is a harmless fatty lump. If it's not painful or growing quickly, it's usually not a serious issue. However, it's best to see a dermatologist to rule out any problems.

Hair fall problem. Last 1 week I've lost my hair quickly.
Female | 21
Stress, insufficient nutrients, hormonal imbalances, or even the aftermath of an illness can be the reasons for rapid hair fall. A balanced diet, stress reduction, and using mild hair care products will help you. If the issue persists, it may be beneficial to consult a dermatologist to receive tailored guidance.

I am a 24 year old female. I have been having these recurring pimples on my vagina for 10years now. My vaginal walls are scaly white and are often itchy. I don't have a weird discharge save for when am ovulating, a clear odorless discharge. I have never had sex because of my condition. I am also overweight with a BMI of 26.
Female | 24
You might have a medical condition known as lichen sclerosis. The main signs are the reappearance of small pimples, the vaginal walls that become white and scaly, and the sensation of itchiness. Obesity and sexual abstinence maybe your risk factors. A dermatologist should be consulted first for an accurate diagnosis and the right treatment. They may recommend some creams or medications to help controlling the symptoms and avoid complications.

I am 18 years old and my lips are okay they are pinj but the area under my nose commonly known as upper lips is dark and gets more dark during summers ....this is not because of hair growth on upper lips but i dont know why its getting darker ...i have tried so many remedies like icing honey and all but that didnt work ...and it gets rough ...without putting cream on that surface i cannot survive because of its roughness
Female | 18
The dark spots could be from more melanin, which happens when the sun hits your skin. The rough feel might be dry skin. To help, try using a soft cream with SPF to keep your skin from the sun and wet. Also, remember to drink lots of water. You can also visit a dermatologist if the problem doesn't go away.

Female | 32
You seem to have dark spots near your mouth and nose and whiteheads on dry skin. This could come from the sun, hormones, or harsh items. Use a soft face wash and cream each day. Put on sunblock before going out too. That can make your skin look much better.

I am 26 years old .I have deep dry and under eye wrinkles .my look like 35 years. i used so many cram and moisture but my skin not change...
Female | 26
Treatment for this would be -
Botox for the wrinkles
Along with an anti aging cream with Hyaluronic acid gel
Finally would suggest dermal filler for the deep or sunken under eye.
PRP and CO2 Non ablative laser is also an option but multiple sessions would be needed for the wrinkles. You can also visit a dermatologist near your place or have a video consultation with best dermatologist in Indiranagar. Hope this answer helps you.

Female | 23
It looks like what you may have is a condition called eczema. This skin affection can lead to skin peeling, and tiny skin injuries, and thus make it easy to break your skin resulting in bleeding. A condition that is most often brought on by eczema may include dry skin, allergies, or irritating furtherance. The usage of non-abrasive moisturizers, the non-use of perfumed soaps, and the efforts to assess and avoid your stimuli can help you manage debilitating symptoms. Consult a dermatologist for personalized treatments.

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.

Male | 30
You might be dealing with allergies, which could be contributing to your constant sneezing. The whitening of hair can be related to various factors, including stress or genetics. I recommend visiting an allergist for sneezing and an endocrinologist or dermatologist for your hair concerns to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.

I am having a fever since yesterday and red rashes come out, then they go away and come back but still I am having trouble getting up
Female | 23
You might have a viral infection causing your fever and red rashes. That the rashes go away and come back may be a sign that the virus is still present. Through this, you will be able to alleviate the symptoms. Moreover, you can take a pill such as acetaminophen for your fever. If it doesn't get better in a couple of days, a dermatologist might have to see you.
