Could HIV be transmitted via diabetic needle prick?
Is there a chance to be caught by Hiv if someone's diabetes needle pricked my hand
Cosmetologist
Answered on 18th Sept '24
The likelihood of HIV infection is negligible if a diabetic needle pricks your hand. HIV is transferred via blood, however, the needle prick is not a high-risk exposure. If you are concerned, watch out for symptoms such as flu, fever, or rash. If you see them, go to a doctor.

I am suffering from ringworm from last 4 months I have used so many creame but not use, can please suggest powerful treatment for ringworm for short duration
Male | 18
Ringworm is persistent and tough to treat. It is a fungal infection causing circular, red, itchy patches on the skin. This fungus thrives in warm, damp environments. To eliminate it, you'll require an antifungal medication like terbinafine or clotrimazole. Keep the affected area clean and dry. Consistent use of the medication for two weeks should help resolve it.

Small rashes starts on face yesterday today it spread on chest and back and also fingers...it doesn't feel itching but it is spread gradually..
Male | 7
Rashes that start on the face and spread to the chest, back, and fingers without itching may be caused by a virus such as “viral exanthem”. The virus creates a rash that can spread over time. Ensure that you maintain your cleanliness and take plenty of fluids, you could also use mild lotions. Also, try not to scratch one needs to get enough rest when having this type of infection. Get medical advice from a dermatologist if there are any other developments or if the condition worsens.

I have facial hair growth over both chin and upper lip. Its because of hormonal imbalance my DHEA level is 180. So may i know if laser hair removal will help get rid of this facial hair growth.
Female | 29
Laser hair removal can be an effective way to remove unwanted facial hair. But it is important to discuss any hormonal imbalances with your doctor before beginning a treatment plan. Laser hair removal may not be the best option for you if your DHEA level is high as this could lead to an increased risk of side effects. Your doctor may suggest other options such as oral medications, topical creams, or electrolysis.

Hi there im a 47 year old black male I went to a traditional circumsation I'm now on 5weeks the foreskin went back to the head like uncircumcised and is swollen but not paining
Male | 47
You might be having a case of paraphimosis. This is the condition when the foreskin is stuck behind the head of the penis and it becomes swollen. It is crucial to first try to push the foreskin back over the head very gently to take away the swelling. If it still doesn't go back or worsens, you should see a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

My left leg is wounded and have swelling by itching.
Male | 56
Looks like you got a wound in your left leg that’s swollen and itchy. Swelling and itching can occur when the body is healing a wound. It might be infected or irritated. To relieve these symptoms, ensure the wound is clean, use a mild antiseptic, and elevate your leg to reduce swelling. Change dressings frequently to prevent infection.

Why i am not getting top skin on my leg ulcer
Female | 23
The ulcer on your leg has an open wound without a new skin layer. Poor circulation or infection may cause this issue. An uncovered ulcer risks infection and slower healing. Keep the area clean by following a dermatologist's orders for ointments and bandages.

What to do to get rid of blackheads on the face. And to brighten the face
Male | 25
Blackheads are minuscule black spots on your skin. They are a result of oil and dead skin blocking the pores on the skin. To clarify them, gently wash the pores once daily, never neglect the exfoliation part, and the third thing is to apply a non-come-genic moisturizer. Besides you can try using salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide products. Don't forget to wash your face thoroughly and moisturize it.

Small blisters on my penis glans ,it appeared two weeks ago. I consulted a skin specialist and applied a cream. After 5 days of treatment blister now looks like a round skin patch and new blisters appeared near to it. Am not feeling any itching or pain or any kind of discomfort because of it. As per doctor instruction I checked my blood glucose level and its 124. Is there anything to worry ... Help me
Male | 36
Round clusters and little blisters on the penis are probably symptoms of a herpes genitalia-like disease caused by a virus. This disease also leads to the appearance of new blisters, even after treatment. The grade of blood glucose that equates to 124 is a tad beyond normal, suggesting diabetes can be the case. Despite the absence of symptoms, visit your dermatologist to check and take care of it. Otherwise, unbearable pain or visual damage may become a result at a later stage.

Male | 21
If you have phimosis symptoms, make sure to contact a healthcare specialist. Although skin stretching exercises may be beneficial for some cases, they have the potential to cause further harm if performed incorrectly. One should consult a Doctor to receive proper diagnosis and treatment.

Iam getting pimples on my face iam using BETAMETHASONE VALERATE AND NEOMUCIN SKIN CREAM. BETNOVATE-N
Male | 14
You should think twice about using BETAMETHASONE VALERATE AND NEOMUCIN SKIN CREAM (BETNOVATE-N) for this. Although these ointments contain corticosteroids, which are known for reducing inflammation, they can exacerbate your acne in the long run because of steroid-induced rosacea or any other reason. Pores get blocked with oil, bacteria, and dead skin cells, forming pimples. To bring your skin back to normal, it would be wise to use a mild cleanser and an oil-free moisturizer. More importantly, avoid touching them at all costs.

I am 20 year old female, My hands got some bumps can say its keratosis pilaris and surface is rough too so what should i do now ? A laser or just a treatment?
Female | 20
This can be treated with either topical creams or laser treatments. Depending on the severity of your condition, it is best to consult a dermatologist to determine the best treatment for you. Laser treatments are often more effective than topical creams, but a bit expensive. Topical creams can be used to reduce the appearance of the bumps but may not completely remove them.

Hydroquinone for skin lightening
Male | 18
Let me give you the lowdown on hydroquinone: it’s a common ingredient found in skin lightening products. This is because it works by reducing melanin in the skin. So if you have dark spots such as age or sun spots, using hydroquinone could help fade them away. However, don’t forget that you must be cautious not to misuse it since this can cause some undesired effects. As a rule, always follow directions given by the manufacturer when using any cosmetic product and also watch out for any allergic reactions.

You have problem of hirsuitism (unwanted facial hair). This could be due to hormonal imbalance, or repeated use of razor on the skin or the side effects of some medication. Best solution for this is laser hair removal treatment.

I have spot on penis last 2 days it's a abit sore had white head
Male | 35
Getting pimples on your penis happens, like the face. This one is irritated and painful. Sometimes sweat or rubbing causes them there. Don't touch it or try squeezing. Cleanliness and dryness help. However, if it worsens or persists, see a dermatologist soon.
