Sudden Black Neck: Iron Deficiency Link?

Patient's Query

Is it possible that due to iron deficiency my front side of neck is turning black and patchy all of a sudden.

Answered by Dr. Deepak Jakhar

Iron deficie­ncy may cause iron deficiency ane­mia. Pale skin is a result. But black or patchy areas on the­ neck's front might signal something else­. A medical professional should diagnose and tre­at correctly. Discuss symptoms with a dermatologist for proper guidance.

Want best Fever lip blisters ointment. Don't want to eat medicine. I'm pregnant.

Female | 40

If you happen to have a high fever with lip blisters and during pregnancy you can't use medicine, rest easy. These come from a virus mostly. Try petroleum jelly ointments or aloe vera to help in wound healing and to keep the area moist. Also, press a cold pack a couple of times a day. Don't forget to drink lots of water and have enough sleep for the body to strengthen and overpower the virus.

I applied hair removal spray on my chest and legs. Now I am feeling itchy and red rashes have appeared on my legs.

Male | 24

Itchy and red rashes are some of the common signs of sensitivity when your skin's non-acceptance is projected. This might be due to the presence of certain chemicals in the spray to which your skin is sensitive. Perhaps, you should try a gentle body lotion to reduce the itching and rashes.

I am 22 years old..female...i have pores on my face since 3 years...please recommend me any medical cream

Female | 22

Your skin may have enlarged pores due to genetics, excess oil, or not cleaning properly. To help reduce them, try using a cream with salicylic acid or retinol, as these ingredients can gradually shrink pores. Additionally, wash your face regularly and protect your skin from the sun.

Under legs abscess problem plz suggestions any tube medicine

Male | 26

This is often caused by a bacterial infection in a hair follicle or sweat gland which gets infected. To heal it, you may need to consult a dermatologist. After removing it, they may also use an antibiotic cream or pills to get away from the infection. Please clean the area carefully and do not press or attempt to rupture the abscess yourself.
