Is my belly button piercing infected?
I think my belly button piercing is infected
Trichologist
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.

Hi , i’m a 24 year old arab woman i have fair skin and i have keratosis pilaris so i wanted to get rif of them by getting co2 laser on my whole arm??♀️ Well i did a really strong dosage that led to an infection on the burned skin And later on it turned to hyperpigmentation that j cant get rid of , also i have these weird red splotches on the burned skin that reaper randomly What do you recommend ?
Female | 24
The CO2 laser procedure was intense. This led to infection and dark spots. The red patches might be because your skin is healing. To help with dark spots, you can try gentle products. Like serums with vitamin C or niacinamide. Remember to protect from the sun too. If red patches remain or get worse, see a dermatologist.

Female | 23
The brown coloration of the toenail may mean subungual melanoma, which is skin cancer in the nail bed. It is essential to see a dermatologist or even an oncologist for the right diagnosis and treatment.

I'm having bumps of clogged pores. Face became rough with tiny little bumps all over face. cheeks became swollen in small round like shape on both sides. Skin is sensitive to sun. skin gets dark easily when exposed to sun (using purito daily go to sunscreen). Uneven skin tone, sometimes dry and sometimes oily. Dry rough patches on chin and sometimes it peels off. Also having milky color on some parts of my face. I used to use a herbal way to get rid of it. It comes and goes. I want to lighten up my skin tone and have a glass, tight and flawless bright skin. Also, I'm having severe hairfall. My hair was straight and had low to medium porosity. For past 5 years, my hair completely changed and damaged. Upper part of hair is extremely high porosity. Became curl, dry, damaged and fluffy and plastic type while the inner portion is almost straight and medium porosity. What should I do?
Female | 22
It sounds like you might be dealing with a combination of skin issues, such as acne, sensitivity, and possibly melasma, along with hair problems. I recommend visiting a dermatologist, who can examine your skin and hair in detail. They will be able to guide you with proper treatments, including products for sensitive skin and hair care routines. It's important to avoid self-treatment and get a personalized plan from a specialist.

Male | 26
Itching and tingling sensations can have many causes. For example, dry skin, allergies, and insect bites. First, try moisturizing well. If no relief, anti-itch creams may help. However, if symptoms don't improve or worsen, see a dermatologist. It's wise to monitor persistent or worsening itching and tingling.

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.

I have rashes on my body. It come and goes. It has been like this for 4months. this week I did a blood test and I want explanations to the results.
Male | 41
The results of your blood test suggest that you may have an allergy or an autoimmune disease. These can be the reason why rashes appear and disappear. It is essential to work out the cause of these rashes and treat them by staying away from the allergen or taking medication as prescribed by your doctor. Remember to go back to a dermatologist for more tests and treatment.

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 am 28 years old female i recently satrted having minor acnes all over the body specially legs
Female | 28
Acne is typical and can be found in everyone. This stuff is the result of oil and dead skin cells blocking your hair follicles. The uplifting part is that you have complete control over the situation. Keep your skin clean, wear loose clothes, and use mild soap. If you are experiencing a lot of discomfort, you should consult a dermatologist for additional treatment.

I'm 20 year old male i had this pimple on my nose which is not going away since six months it crusts and comes back again it shows symptoms of squamous cell carcinoma please help
Male | 20
A pimple that won't disappear and crusts on your nose for six months may be a warning for something more serious. Squamous cell carcinoma, which is a form of skin cancer, can sometimes appear like this. It requires a doctor's attention. This may include a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis and a dermatologist may also suggest the best treatment which can be surgery or other options.

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.

Will washing his hair scar his scalp or will his scalp scab and heal back to normal?
Other | 24
Regularly washing hair won't harm your scalp or cause scabs, unless you scrub roughly or use very hot water. If scalp feels sore, turns red, or develops scabs, try gentler shampoo and lukewarm water instead. Don't scratch the scalp. Allow it to heal naturally. However, if the issue persists, consult a dermatologist for professional advice.

I have a tiny small small dot like Black head on my nose tip this got remove whenever i squeeze that with my finger how can i remove my all black dot on my nose tip
Male | 23
We do not recommend that you try to manually remove black dots on the rhinion by squeezing or picking them as it can cause scarring, infection, and even further damage to the nose. These black dots are blackheads that result from the formation of black plugs in the pores. A dermatologist is the right person in the healthcare sector to the diagnosis and treatment of this condition.

Female | 22
You appear to be suffering from a skin ailment that might be triggered by a fungal infection, usually manifested as itchiness, redness, or rashes. Causes such as moisture, heat, and friction may result in this condition. To lessen the body's discomfort, the area should be kept dry and an antifungal powder or cream available over the counter should be regarded. Moreover, wearing loose clothes can aid in lessening the discomfort. Nonetheless, it's vital to seek advice from a dermatologist if the signs persist or become more severe.

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.

from 1 week i have swelling and blisters on my penis and some sores ,Not much pain, just occasional burning and itching.please tell me what should i do in this situation
Male | 24
You may have a common virus known as genital herpes. They can cause redness, blisters, sores, burning, and itching. The most crucial thing is to abstain from sexual relationships until you talk to a doctor at a hospital or a clinic. As before, they will give the patients antiviral medication to control the symptoms and to stop the onset of the outbreaks in the future. It is important to first visit a dermatologist to verify the illness and be prepared for the treatment.

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.

29 year old male, a hair got tied around penis and while attempting to remove it lacerated the middle of the glans before being removed. Resulting in a scar that looks like an open cut during arousal but seems to be closed while at rest. Happened two weeks ago. Didn't bleed. Didn't heal
Male | 29
During arousal, the scar that was formed may appear as a cut, but it is healing, and this process will soon pass. Scars are sometimes very difficult to heal and this may require a long time for a full recovery. You should maintain good hygiene in the area and avoid any more damage. In case there is a pain issue or symptoms of infection such as redness and warmth, which are very rare for such diseases, it is necessary to consult a dermatologist.
