My pierced ear is infected

Answered on 26th Feb '25
It sounds like your ear might be experiencing an infection, which can happen due to various factors, including bacteria from improper cleaning or irritation from the jewelry. Common signs include redness, swelling, warmth, and discharge. To aid healing, gently clean the area with mild soap and warm water, and avoid touching or changing the jewelry frequently. Applying a warm compress can also help reduce discomfort. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, please consult dermatologist for professional evaluation and treatment.

Male | 47
You are suffering from a fungal infection of your left leg, which is causing a lot of discomfort. Fungal infections are, in general, a common occurrence and can be caused by the overgrowth of certain fungi on the skin. You can try keeping the area clean and dry, using antifungal creams, and wearing loose clothing. If the symptoms do not go away or worsen, consult a dermatologist.

Male | 37
Your talking about alopecia areata. Main line of treatment for alopecia areata is local and intralesional steroids. Oral and local immunosuppressant are also very effective. Pls try for TOFACITINIB 5MG TWICE A DAY AFTER FOOD. Reach out to me or any dermatologist for further evaluation and second opinion - Dermatologists in India.

I have bumps around my vagina they are not painful but itchy what do you this it is
Female | 19
Itchy, non-painful bumps in the vaginal area can result from several factors, including infections, allergic reactions, or sensitivity to products such as soaps or fabrics. Conditions like genital warts or folliculitis could also be possibilities. It's important to avoid scratching to prevent irritation. I recommend maintaining proper hygiene and wearing breathable clothing. However, seeking advice from a dermatologist is crucial to determine the exact cause and receive appropriate treatment.

I am 24 years old and yesterday I just feel something under my chin like it feels a swelling and something under my skin
Female | 24
You may have a swelling below your chin. This could be caused by a swollen lymph node. Lymph nodes are small glands that help fight germs. When they swell up, it might mean your body is battling an infection. If the swelling is not painful and you feel fine, you can keep an eye on it. However, if the swelling does not go away or you have other symptoms, it is a good idea to see a dermatologist to find out the cause.

Iam humaira. My age 20.My toe nail become black without reason another toe nail also small black spot developing
Female | 20
The blackening of toe nail can be fungal infection of the nail. You could have contracted it while playing sports, sweaty shoes, using elses socks, or even during a pedicure in salon. Avoid all the above situations. Keep feet clean and dry. Start applying Anti fungal nail laquer as Nail on or Iwin on the nail each day for 3 months as local antifungal and contact a dermatologist near you for oral medications if more feet nails are getting infected. It takes 6 months atleast for the nail to recover and get a new nail.

You might have a fungal issue around your scrotum area. Fungal infections cause red, itchy bumps. These thrive in warm, damp spots. Keep that area dry and clean. Use an antifungal cream, it may help. If not better soon, check with a dermatalogist for advice.

Male | 41
A white patch on the underside of your penis could be due to several reasons, such as a fungal infection, lichen sclerosus, or another dermatological condition. It is important to consult a dermatologist or a urologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment. Please visit a dermatologist to get the appropriate care for your condition.

Hi I got red spot and dots because I sat on the toilet with disinfectant it’s itchy and it appeared few days after
Female | 21
You might have a skin reaction to the disinfectant. The red spots and dots, together with the itchiness, may be caused if your skin comes in contact with a strong chemical such as bleach. For this, wash the area with soap and water gently so that you remove any disinfectant residues. The next time you use a mild disinfectant instead. Your skin needs time to recover, so if it gets worse instead of a percentage, see a dermatologist for more care.

Eczema on your thigh or leg can be due to triggers like allergies, dry skin, or even stress. When it comes back after treatment, it could mean ongoing exposure to triggers or that the condition is chronic. Please visit a dermatologist for proper management and advice on preventing flare-ups.

mera white spot hua hai but color utna white nhi hai thik hone me kitna time lagega
Male | 28
Depending on what you are describing, it may be a type of skin disorder called vitiligo. With vitiligo, the cells that make the pigment in the skin are destroyed through the melanocyte process, thereby producing white spots on the skin. It is always best to book an appointment with a dermatologist.

Hello sir/ma'am please suggest me any skin cream. I used elosone ht cream over my skin for 3 month, that have affected my skin. And one of my friend told me that i have a skin atrophy. My skin where i use to apply the cream is completely covered with a dark layer. Can you please suggest me any cream so that the affected area can be fade out by time. Please ma'am its a humble request to you. It feels very bad and i cant even go outside due to this.
Female | 18
Using the cream may have caused your skin to become thin and fragile, a condition known as atrophy. The dark layer you see could be a result of this. Try using a gentle moisturizing cream with ingredients like aloe vera or oatmeal to help fade it over time. Avoid strong products and give your skin time to recover. Always do a patch test on new products before applying them to larger areas.

Mere chest nipples puffy hai Jase hi workout ya tap tap karta hu shrink ho jate hai or ripples me thoda sa bhi lagta hai
Male | 19
Puffy nipples, especially during physical activity, can be a common experience. This may occur due to hormonal fluctuations, body fat distribution, or even muscle changes. When you work out, muscle engagement can lead to temporary changes in appearance, such as reduction in puffiness or rippling. Staying active, maintaining a balanced diet, and effective hydration are excellent steps to consider. However, if this concern persists or causes distress, I encourage you to consult a dermatologist. They can provide personalized care and further insights to ensure your overall well-being.

Male | 19
You have been suffering from allergic rhinitis (hay fever) for the last two years. Symptoms like sneezing, running nose, and congestion can be very annoying. Usually, the things that trigger this allergic reaction are pollen, dust mites, or pet dander. Antihistamines like Montas-L can help you by blocking the allergy response and thus, reducing the symptoms. The regular intake of your medication is necessary for the proper control of your allergy.

I am a 24 year old girl who has undergone culture test frequently and taken medication but I’m still itchy In my perineum and it looks whitish . I’ve also applied steroid creams. Today I came back from a long trip and my liner was soaked with discharge and some of it looks like chunky cheese
Female | 24
It appears that you could be dealing with a yeast infection. Yeast is a type of germ that can cause itching, white discharge and sometimes looks like chunky cheese. Taking antibiotics or wearing tight clothes can sometimes cause yeast infections. You can try using over-the-counter antifungal creams for a few weeks to see if it helps. In addition, wearing loose cotton clothes and avoiding scented products in that area may also help. If the condition persists, you can visit a dermatologist.

पुरुष | 35
Those pimples under your chin could be a sign of acne. This can happen due to overstretched pores and excessive oil production on your skin. You can use a thorough cleanser and products containing ingredients like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to help eliminate them. It is also important not to pick or squeeze the pimples, as this can worsen them. If over-the-counter treatments don't work, it is best to see a dermatologist for further advice. Sometimes, antibiotics may also help.
