Is my red non-itchy foot bite serious?
Hi, I have a small bite on my foot. I think I’m being dramatic but wanted some reassurance as it’s making me feel anxious. It’s not itchy it’s just like a red blotch. I noticed it 2/3 days ago

Answered on 26th Feb '25
It's completely understandable to feel anxious about a bite on your foot. A red blotch can result from various causes, like insect bites, allergies, or a minor skin reaction. Since it's not itchy and has been there for a few days, it's likely not serious. However, monitoring for any changes, such as increased redness, swelling, or pain is important. Clean the area gently and avoid scratching. If it worsens or doesn’t improve in a week, I recommend seeing a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation.

I got the cut from the barber trimmer is it the chance of getting hiv virus from that trimmer ?
Male | 21
You are very unlikely to get HIV from a barber trimmer. HIV is not spread by inanimate objects like trimmers but through fluids that carry the virus, such as blood. Look for symptoms such as fever or maybe pimples but always keep in mind the probability of this happening is extremely low.

I need to know if a friend of mine have gynocomastia . He is a 17 year old boy and his nipple looks bigger for more than 4years.
Male | 17
Your friend might be the one with gynecomastia, which means swollen breast tissues in boys or men. It can be possible if the hormones are not in a proper balance during puberty. Usually, gynecomastia goes by itself, but sometimes, if it causes problems, it can be treated. Your friend should speak with a dermatologist to get more details and see if any treatment is necessary.

Chikan pox deep small circle on mouth in central Possible to remove this problem
Male | 31
A canker sore might trouble your mouth. They are small, round, and painful sores. Stress, spicy foods, or biting your cheek can cause them. Try over-the-counter rinses or gels to ease pain and speed healing. Soft foods are better; avoid spicy or acidic ones. Give it time - around one or two weeks - and it should disappear on its own.

There is peeling of the skin on the nails of the hands and the nails are also melting slightly
Female | 52
Skin peeling around the nails, and sometimes the actual nails can happen if hands are exposed to chemicals or water, frequently. Another possible reason is a lack of vitamins or a skin condition. To address this, just practice these things — avoid chemicals, wear gloves, eat healthy, and keep the skin of the hands moist. You can also consult a dermatologist for further treatments.

Every time I shave or use other hair removal techniques, I get strawberry legs. I don't want to consider laser hair removal. Is there any way I can get rid of the strawberry legs?
Female | 19
If you have strawberry legs after hair removal technique or shaving your hair and specially when you don't want to go for laser hair removal then cleaning your hairs/legs with betadine or savlon before shaving and after shaving apply after-shave, betadine or savlon and then applying anti-inflammatory cream containing mild steroids and antibiotic might help to reduce the chances of strawberry legs. If the problem persists then please visit dermatologist.

Small water babula on whole body
Female | 5
Small water-filled blisters on the skin can be caused by various factors such as allergic reactions, infections, or skin conditions. You may also experience itching or irritation. It’s essential to keep the area clean and avoid scratching. Applying cool compresses might provide relief. Over-the-counter antihistamines can help with itching. However, if these blisters persist, worsen, or are accompanied by fever, it's important to seek a dermatologist's advice. A healthcare professional can provide a proper diagnosis and tailored treatment.

For this type of condition, one should consult a dermatologist. The rash may involve several causes, which include allergic reactions and skin infections. In case you have already had STI testing and treatment, the rash should be diagnosed by a specialist.

Genital herpes is a viral infection. It leads to red bumps, discomfort, and swelling in the vaginal region. This illness gets passed through sexual activity. To confirm the diagnosis and receive treatment, consulting a dermatologist proves essential. They will prescribe medications to alleviate symptoms and avert future flare-ups.

Hi, My little finger got injured a few days back. There was no cut or bleeding but there was pus coming from it for couple of days. I did not use any medicine. Now it heeled completely and I do not have any pain. But the fingernail is starting to come off. What should I do?
Male | 24
Your finger got an infection and that’s why there was pus. The pus most likely helped to fight off the infection in your body though. Once your finger has healed, it’s common for the nail to come off occasionally. A new one will grow back. Keep the area clean and covered. However, if it looks infected again or you are worried about anything else then it’s always best to get it checked out by a dermatologist.

Dark skin ke liye kaun sa face wash ya cream use karey and pigmentation ke liye kya use Karen, likewise for oily skin ke liye
Female | 25
The colour of the skin is determined by the amount of melanin produced in the skin. This in turn is influenced by genetic factors, sun exposure, drugs etc. Uneven skin tone, or any other pigmentation which is acquired and not genetic can be treated with various depigmentation creams which are to be used as per Dermatologist’s prescription. Sunscreens are mandatory to protect the skin from tan and other signs of some damage. Procedural treatments like chemical peels, laser toning etc are recommended apart from topical creams to treat the pigmentary concerns. It is not advised to use OTC creams claiming improvement in skin pigmentation without professional advice. Face washes can never treat pigmentation. They can only help clean excess oil, dirt and grime collected over the skin. For oily skin, one can use, salicylic acid, glycolic acid or tea tree oil based facewashes. For more information please visit dermatologist near you.

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.

Skin flake, crusty and black after skin peel
Female | 23
Some skin flaking, crusty appearance, and black discoloration after a peel is normal. This occurs because the peel removes your top skin layer, exposing new skin underneath. Sometimes, temporary discoloration and dryness can result. To aid recovery, moisturize gently and avoid picking flaky areas. Over time, as healing progresses, your skin condition should improve. If it doesn't, visit a dermatologist.
