In case of an ingrown nail, it is recommended to visit a dermatologist. They can evaluate the severity of the other ingrown nail, provide its proper care and offer treatment alternatives. In mild cases, soaking the affected area in warm water and lifting gently under the ingrown edge may work. On the contrary, in case of more severe ingrown nail or recurrent one surgical intervention is indicated. Do not try to deal with it yourself to avoid complications or infections. The healthcare professional should be consulted for proper treatment specific to your case.

Hello Doctor, Since last 7-8 days i have developed a boil like structure near the head of my penis. Now, since last 2-3 days there is pain and irritation while urinating. I had consulted one doctor yesterday. After taking random blood sugar test measuing 147 -he said circumcission is only option. I dont have issue with foreskin. it moves back comfortably and there is no pain while intercourse... This is the 1st time i have experienced this issue. Please guide what can be done...is there any alternate treatment.

The boil-like structure could be a symptom of an infection. Pain and irritation while urinating are the most frequent. These include antibiotics or antifungal creams to help with the infection. The area should be kept clean and dry for a quicker recovery process. Drink lots of water and do not use strong soaps on the wound.

I have black neck from a very long time I really want a cure for it

Male | 16

Acanthosis Nigricans is what you are suffering from, a skin condition that causes your neck to darken compared to the rest of your body. This may occur if you are obese or have diabetes. It is important to work on reducing your weight and controlling your blood sugar levels. A balanced diet, regular exercise, and maintaining the cleanliness of your skin can gradually improve this problem.

A medicine to whiten the skin

Male | 21

Lightening your skin shouldn't involve medications, as they can harm melanin, which gives skin its color. Chemicals can cause uneven pigmentation. Instead, embrace your natural tone and use sunscreen to keep your skin healthy and radiant.

I am 23 year old. sometimes before I was suffering from HSP , now I recovered from disease but some spot are appread on my legs , so please help me out with any cream or ointment for removing the spot?

Female | 23

 It may be that the points are healing or that the disease left some changes behind in the skin. One thing that could help you get rid of those spots is to apply a nice hydrating cream or lotion with vitamin E or aloe vera. Note that outbreaks can take a little longer to fade away, yet hydrating your skin can help a bit.

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.

I am 18 years old and I have dark circle under in my eyes

Male | 18

The dark circles under your eyes can be annoying. The reasons might be lack of sleep, stress, or even allergies. However, rubbing your eyes a lot can also be the reason. Try sleep management, stress management, and not rubbing your eyes for a while. You can use cold compresses or eye cream as well.
