Is my belly button piercing infected?

I think my belly button piercing is infected

1 Answer

Answered on 23rd May '24

If your belly button piercing appears to be infected, the signs may include redness, pain, heat, swelling, or pus discharge. You can get an infection if you fail to clean your piercing well or you touch it with dirty hands. To assist this, gently clean it with saline solution and avoid using harsh products on the area. Also, do not remove any jewelry from inside the piercing until advised otherwise by a professional. Visit a dermatologist if there is no improvement.

I am 22 of age a female, recently I noticed some lumps close to my ass hole

Female | 22

In most cases, these lymph nodes are connected with the infections of the rectal region such as perianal abscess or a hemorrhoid. Symptoms comprise inflammation, aches, painful tingling, and pus if the glandular development becomes infected recently. The most essential actions are hygiene and heat compress usage. Likewise, examining these lumps would help to understand the situation, so if there is no improvement or worsening of this disease, you are advised to hurry to the medical center.

My daughter is 14 years old and was having a corn on her toe. We initially left it and did nothing , later we got a corn tape and changed it every 3-4 days within 2 weeks. Now the area has become white so we have not put any corn tape and left it open.

Female | 14

Corns, which are caused by the skin undergoing pressure or friction continuously, are the result of this. The white area may be a sign of skin healing. Try not to use the corn tape for the time being. Keep the area clean and dry. Wearing shoes that are a lot more comfortable should help to ease the pressure. If it doesn't improve, visit a foot specialist for further advice.

i have dead skin constantly pealling off my toes and a couple of cuts at the bottom of each toe and in-between the toes too

Male | 43

You probably deve­loped athlete's foot. This fungal infe­ction grows between toe­s, warm and moist spots. Peeling skin signifies it. Cuts are­ another symptom. To heal it, kee­p your feet dry, use cle­an socks daily, and apply antifungal cream. Clearing it take­s time. Be patient. Stick with the­ treatment regime­n.

i’m not sure if i have a cold sore or if it’s something else. what do i do??

Female | 17

Usually, cold sores appear as red, swollen bumps on or around your lips. They can hurt a little and may have clear fluid inside them. The virus responsible for cold sores is known as herpes simplex. You could try using over-the-counter creams or ointments to make them heal quicker. Always wash your hands and avoid touching the sore so it doesn't spread.

There are blisters on the feet.

Male | 32

Blisters on the foot can be caused by a number of factors including friction, burns or some skin conditions. The affected region must be kept clean and dry to prevent infection. I recommend to visit a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
