How to remove blade cut mark

Male | 20

To avoid blade cut marks, a new wound should be kept clean and properly covered to minimize scars. When healed, apply scar treatment cream or silicon gel sheets regularly to reduce the appearance of scars. Do not expose the scar to sunlight because the UV rays darken it. For more severe or prominent scars it is necessary to refer them to the dermatologist for professional treatments such as laser therapy and microdermabrasion. For the situations with deep scarring, sometimes a cosmetic revisional surgery might be an option but it is always best to seek advice from a dermatologist on individual basis.

Chikan pox deep small circle on mouth in central Possible to remove this problem

Male | 31

A canker sore might trouble your mouth. They are small, round, and painful sores. Stress, spicy foods, or biting your cheek can cause them. Try over-the-counter rinses or gels to ease pain and speed healing. Soft foods are better; avoid spicy or acidic ones. Give it time - around one or two weeks - and it should disappear on its own.

Doctor ne mujy skin peel off kerny K ley serum Diya Tha serum zyada use hony se face jal Gaya ha

Female | 22

Your skin burned due to excessive serum usage for peeling. Burned skin resembles sunburn - red, painful, sensitive. To heal, discontinue serum, gently wash your face with cool water and apply soothing aloe vera lotion. Protect skin from sun exposure. If burning persists or worsens, inform a dermatologist for further assistance.

I have an allergy. Now the blisters have appeared and there is itching associated with it.

Male | 19

You seem to have a skin allergy. When something irritates the body, allergies make blisters and itching happens. They're the body's defense against things it rejects. To feel better, try a cold pack or a mild lotion. But see a dermatologist if symptoms persist.

Corn cullas problam very difficult sir bahut paresan hu mai plz help me s

Male | 24

Corn cullas, commonly known as corns, can cause discomfort and pain when walking. They occur due to friction or pressure on the skin, often from ill-fitting shoes. Symptoms include hardened, thickened skin on your feet, which may feel tender. To find relief, consider wearing properly fitting footwear and using protective pads. Soaking your feet in warm water can soften the corn, making it easier to manage. If the problem persists or worsens, I gently advise consulting a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment options.

I'm almost 18 year old female. I have dust allergy and I have freckles type and some spots on my left Cheeks and day by day my face condition is going worst its like pimple type I don't know what is it I have taken treatment from a lot of places but nothing worked and dady by day my skin colour is also becoming dull.

Female | 18

The spots and pimples on your left cheek might be caused by dust irritation, which can also lead to dull skin. Make sure to clean your face regularly and avoid covering it for long periods. Also, try not to touch your face with your hands, as they may carry bacteria. Washing your face should be a regular habit. If the problem persists, consult a dermatologist.

Tangan bengkak selepas vaksin COVID dah CT scan Masih bengkak

Female | 21

Pembengkakan pada tangan selepas pengambilan vaksin COVID-19 boleh terjadi akibat reaksi normal sistem imun. Ini biasanya termasuk kesakitan, kemerahan, atau bengkak di kawasan suntikan. Jika simptom berlanjutan walaupun selepas CT scan, penting untuk memastikan tiada jangkitan atau komplikasi lain. Anda boleh meredakan bengkak dengan kompres sejuk dan mengangkat tangan yang terjejas. Namun, jika keadaan tidak bertambah baik atau paling teruk, adalah bijak untuk berjumpa doktor bagi mendapatkan penilaian lanjut. Kesihatan anda adalah keutamaan, dan mendapatkan nasihat profesional adalah langkah terbaik.

Hi, I am a girl of 19 years old. My boyfriend has given me a love bite on my breast and on back. I wanted to ask if this is normal? As I am feeling a bit sick and feverish. I want to know if this is okay to feel such way? For more information, earlier when i got a love bite, it was on neck and i faced neck infection. I had neck swelling. It got okay after medications though. But I want to know if there are chances for swelling this time too? Something like this? Or will it be okay with time and nothing will happen? Please clear. Thanks

Female | 19

A love bite can cause fever and sickness, it's normal. Your boyfriend's bite on the breast and back may have let bacteria enter broken skin. This causes infection - swelling and tenderness. Clean the area, use warm compress, take pain meds if needed. But if pus appears or symptoms worsen, get medical help right away.

Female | 19

Dark skin is beautiful! However, if lightening your complexion interests you, care is essential. Sun exposure, hormonal shifts, or medication may cause natural lightening effects. For gradual, safe lightening, use dermatologist-approved gentle creams.

I am an 18 year old male who has had a red mark, presumably from masturbation on my penis for the last couple of years. It hasn’t changed but I’ve persisted masturbation so maybe that’s why. The color of my skin there is dark so the mark looks reddish-pink and the skin is a bit scaly and dry but it does not hurt or bleed. I don’t know if it’s friction burn or something else.

Male | 18

It seems that what you are going through may likely be hyperpigmentation from inflammation. This could be caused by constant rubbing during the time you are masturbating which can result in rough, scaly skin that will be red or pink in color. Keeping the area clean, protected, and well moisturized is important. Using a mild, scentless moisturizer is a great way to start. Whether the symptoms persist or get more severe, it's worth making an appointment with a dermatologist so they can give you proper advice.

The causes of the cold abscess might include a bacterial infection but tuberculosis is the other explanation. The signs can be a painless lump, the fever, and sometimes sweating at night. It is vital to get a thorough examination and treatment from a doctor who may prescribe antibiotics for a bacterial infection or TB specific medications if needed.

I am 34 yrs old female and I have acne and acne marks problem on my face - recently my face has been very dry and acne is coming also I have tight white pores issue which is making my skin look very dull and uneven.

Female | 34

As you are 34 years old, there might be some hormonal issues leading to acne. Consult local dermatologist for treatment who might prescribe you some topical antibiotics benzoyl peroxide or daplin or oral drugs depending upon the situation. It is advisable to use moisturizers, particularly water-based that do not uproot the pores because medication usage might result in dryness and little irritation. Your Skin will be much better after the treatment for Acne.
