Answered on 27th Sept '24

A possible reason for the red patches on your penis glans could be the adverse reaction to post-exposure prophylaxis tablets, which is a medication used to prevent HIV infection after potential exposure. This is a reaction known as a drug rash. To avoid this, it is essential to inform a dermatologist. They may suggest a different medication or recommend ways to manage the rash, such as using gentle skin care products or applying a soothing cream.

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.

Good day sir , my wife is feeling pain since one week now where they injected her , the spot is hot and little strong, and it's paining her serious ,I have use ice block and close up , but the spot is still hot and little stronger

Female | 20

Your wife is likely to have an infection at the injection site. The symptoms such as heat, pain, and redness are caused when the bacteria get in. The area needs to be cleaned gently and the healthcare provider must be consulted. Antibiotics may be recommended to eliminate the infection. Do not use ice or cover it up without advice as it may aggravate the problem.

I have applied persol forte cream for 3 days on my face, due to which dark patches have appeared on my face. On those dark patches no pimples are coming.. what I use to remove that dark patches ?

Female | 23

I would firstly advise you to please stop using persol forte cream immediately and consult an experienced dermatologist for your issue. The dermatologist will examine your condition and will suggest the most appropriate treatment accordingly which may include oral medications, topical treatments and lifestyle changes. You may also be asked to undergo some additional tests to rule out any underlying medical problem. Thanks.

My face having to much pimple and acne.my skin type is oily which facewash and serum I use for my skin please give me suggestions

Female | 24

Oily skin is common and can lead to pimples and acne. The symptoms are so shiny skin, big pores, and sometimes breakouts. The cause of oily skin is the excessive sebum production by the skin. Salicylic acid face wash to unclog pores will suffice for this purpose. Oil control is also possible with a serum containing niacinamide.

I think I may have the STD/STI virus called Herpes. There are tiny little pink bumps that have been on my penis for a while now.

Male | 23

It is really important to keep monitoring and watching any changes occurring in your body. These small pink pimples that you see might be due to Herpes. Having sores, blisters, and itching are the common outcomes when you get an infection. A virus caused by herpes simplex is spread by the transmission of proteins from the infected source to the recipient's body. But the only certain way till the moment it is still unconfirmed is to get tested by a professional health worker.
