Will using cortisone cream with Blue Star ointment spread ringworm?
If I have a wringworm and start putting blue star ointment on it 3 times a day but also put cortisone cream to soothe the itch will it cause the fungus to spread?
Dermatologist
Answered on 7th Sept '24
Using it together on a wringworm can actually make the fungus spread. It is recommended to only use antifungal medication to treat a wringworm, and consult a dermatologist for proper treatment.

Skin redness without itching
Male | 20
If your skin turns red without feeling itchy, there might be a few causes. This redness can happen when your skin is sensitive to what touches it such as some fabrics or lotions. It may also result from temperature changes or stress. Use gentle fragrance-free products on your skin and keep it hydrated. Visit a dermatologist if the redness continues or gets worse.

I am 19 years old. I have a little external hemorrhoids with no symptoms should i consult it to a doctor or it will go itself
Male | 19
Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the rectum or anus. Common causes include straining during bowel movements, sitting too long on the toilet, or being overweight. Small, painless hemorrhoids are usually not a concern and may go away with home remedies like warm baths, eating more fiber, or using creams. However, if you have pain, bleeding, or discomfort, it's best to see a gastroenterologist for advice on the right treatment.

I am 23 years old male having oily skin and acne for last 5years please suggest serum , moisturizer and sunscreen
Male | 23
If your skin is oily, it produces excess oil, leading to clogged pores and acne. Using a serum with salicylic acid can help unclog pores, while a moisturizer with minimal cranberry oil can prevent acne growth. Applying sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher will protect your skin from the sun. These products are recommended for managing oily skin issues. You can also visit a dermatologist for personalized recommendations.

I have taken vaccine for dog scratch D0 and D3 in May 6th 2024 andMay 9 th 2024,today my cat scratch my hand again. Should I take the vaccine again.
Female | 21
If your cat has scratched you recently, you must know that the dog scratch vaccine does not prevent scratches from cats or other animals. You received the dog scratch vaccine in May but it will not protect you from cat scratches. If you see any scratch site symptoms, redness, swelling, or warmth, especially if it worsens, go to a dermatologist. They may suggest an alternative treatment plan based on your particular situation.

I am 26 year old male and have face black skin present I have Medisalic ointment used
Male | 26
You might be experiencing a condition called hyperpigmentation, which is when some of the skin is darker. Medisalic ointment might not be the right move since it has powerful steroids that may have adverse effects on your skin. I suggest quitting the ointment and soothing your skin with a gentle moisturizer. Additional tip - sun protection - you can cover your skin with a hat or sunscreen. If the issue persists, it's best to seek advice from a dermatologist.

Im 24 and have been having an itchy sensation on the head and sometimes skin of the penis , some small red spots once appeared on the penis head but they then disappeared on their own, what could this be
Male | 24
You might have a condition called balanitis. Balanitis is when the head of the penis gets itchy and irritated. Small red spots can appear and will then go away on their own. One reason this might happen is improper washing, which can lead to irritation from certain soaps, laundry detergents, or a yeast infection. You should keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting underwear, and avoid using harsh products. If the symptoms do not improve, talk to a dermatologist for proper treatment.

I completed ERIG+ IDRV in 2022 for cat scratch. And again taken D0 And D3 in november 2023. I had taken again the vaccine for dog scratch in D0 and D3 in May 6th and May 9 th 2024. But today my cat again scratch me and blood came.should I take the vaccine again?
Female | 21
You should be protected since you've had vaccines for both cat and dog scratches. However, if you're still concerned, it's a good idea to consult your doctor to be safe. In addition to the color and swelling, you might also notice the area around the scratch becoming warmer, which could indicate an infection.

I face chicken pox disease from last 3 days and now I feel hot after taking fever medicine
Female | 17
After taking fever medicine, it usually happens that a person feels to be hot. Chickenpox is a virus that causes the manifestation of itchiness all around the body with red spots that turn into blisters. Fever, headache, and tiredness are the most common symptoms. Always remember to drink plenty of fluids to keep your body hydrated. Calamine lotion is useful in alleviating itching. Plenty of rest is essential.

When the whole body has an allergic reaction, you may notice symptoms like redness, itching, and sometimes small bumps or blisters. Common causes include foods, plants, or even the material of your clothes. Identify and avoid the trigger. Antihistamines can help calm the symptoms.

I piercing my ear 5 month ago but my piercing not healing fully
Female | 31
On some occasions, if you touch it frequently or you don't clean it the proper way, discomfort may result. Reddish color, swelling skin, pus, and pain are among such infections. Clean it carefully though and follow a saline solution application as well as keep the ring in place to avoid this complication. If it is not getting better consult a dermatologist.

Hello Doc, I am 23 (male) and I have a ringworm on my scalp for couple of years now, it's very difficult for me as people think im unhygienic but I wash my hair 2 times a day or more during summer. Please help me Doc
Male | 23
Ringworm is a common infection caused by a fungus that can result in red circular patches on the skin. The most effective method for treating this condition is by using antifungal shampoos or creams. Ensure that you keep your scalp clean and dry so as not to transmit it to anyone else by sharing hats or combs. If non-prescription medications fail to work, seek medical attention from a dermatologist.

I am a 40 year old man and have been having odour problens especially after peeing or aweating.
Male | 40
You might be suffering from the unpleasant smell that follows peeing or sweating in your case. The reason for your unpleasant smell might be a urinary tract infection or the bacteria on your skin. These can make the pee and sweat stink a little bit. Drinking more water, showering regularly, and wearing breathable clothes can help. If it prevails, it is wise to consult a gynecologist.

I have a 14 year old daughter who has a had a itchy raised red puffy bump on her left shoulder the last two days. It happened in the middle of her basketball game. It has gotten worse from her bra strap and shirt rubbing against it. I want to know what it is and how to fix this mystery.
Female | 14
Looks like your daughter has a skin irritation that is contact dermatitis. One common type is contact dermatitis, which is caused by something rubbing against the skin and triggering redness, itching, and swelling. This thing might be her bra strap or shirt, which is the cause of the rash on her skin when it rubs against it while she is playing basketball, To make her feel better, try to use a soothing lotion or cream and let her put on clothes that are not tight enough to prevent rubbing as much as possible.

The scar might come from a small injury or irritation you didn't notice. Since it's not causing discomfort, that's positive. However, monitor the area closely. If it starts bothering you or changes appearance, consulting a dermatologist would be wise.

Can I use benzoyl peroxide ointment for acne
Male | 13
Acne is a frequent skin problem that affects a person's skin by pimples and redness. Acne can be managed by using benzoyl peroxide ointment. It operates by eradicating bacteria from the skin. You might notice dryness or peeling at first, but it usually gets better with time. It is important to use only a small amount and keep away from sensitive parts.
