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.

I have a acne problem which are very visible angs sopts are very big in size
Male | 29
This is a common skin condition that occurs when the pores of your skin are clogged with oil and dead cells. This can lead to the formation of red inflamed bumps. At times, it is a result of hormonal changes or genetics. Treating your face gently by washing it with a mild soap, refraining from pinching these pimples plus using products containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid can help clear the acne.
If this doesn’t work, see a dermatologist for more advice on caring for your skin.

Hello My name is simran actually my outer part of vulva area is infected and now it's itching alot
Female | 23
You may have a yeast infection. It can be responsible for such problems as itching, redness, and sometimes a thick discharge. Antibiotics, tight clothing, or a weakened immune system can be blamed for yeast infections. You can buy antifungal creams over-the-counter can ease the itching and help you get rid of the infection. You should be wearing only cotton underwear and avoiding those products with scents to ensure you are not further irritating the area.

I am woman age 22 acny on face
Female | 22
This is normal for your age. Acne happens when oil and dead cells clog hair follicles. This causes pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. Try gentle cleansers, avoid oily products, and don't pick your skin. Wash your face regularly with mild soap. You can also visit a dermatologist.

Got a human bite during a fight. It has made 5 bruise marks of teeth. Wanted to ask if tetanus injection is required
Male | 14
Getting a human bite might seem harmless, but it requires care. Five teeth bruise marks signal potential tetanus risk. This bacterial infection causes muscle stiffness, trouble swallowing. Don't delay consulting your doctor if bitten. They'll likely recommend a tetanus shot as preventive measure.

puppy bite and scratches since past 2 months.
Male | 30
It is important to take care of puppy bites and scratches. These can cause infections if not treated right. Look for signs like redness, pain, swelling, or pus at the spot. Make sure to wash the area well with soap and water. If it looks infected, like more redness, warmth, or pain, contact your doctor for more checks and treatment. Puppy bites and scratches are common, but they can be serious. It is best to clean the wound and watch for signs of infection. Don't wait if it gets worse. See a doctor quickly.

Female | 18
The small white spot on your cheek might be a problem as it might be a skin disease called pityriasis alba. The list begins with the use of gentle, moisturizing products for dry skin. Check out the products that contain hyaluronic acid and ceramides. Don't forget, always apply sunscreen. In case of any changes or concerns, go to a dermatologist.

My son has redish spots on the body feeling swear itching and burrowing with swelling.
Male | Roshaan
Your son might have a skin condition called hives. These are small, pinkish-red, itchy lumps that appear on the skin. Hives are generally caused by a person's allergic reaction to specific types of food, or drugs, or by bug bites. Give him an antihistamine that will alleviate the itchy skin and reduce the swelling. Moreover, you should search for the elements that cause the hives to not occur the rest of the time.

Male | 31
The condition you described seems to have a perianal abscess inflamed, thus causing the pus pocket to be painful and it may also burn. In addition, it might be an infection that happens when a blocked gland releases a fluid. Make an appointment with a dermatologist who will lead you to a proper treatment.

Female | 25
Vitiligo is a condition where white spots show up on skin. It occurs when pigment-producing cells malfunction. No cure exists, but treatments aid. Topical steroids or calcineurin inhibitors work best. They restore some color to affected areas. Sun protection is crucial, as exposure worsens symptoms.
