Allergic Reaction Treatment: Swelling, Itching, Redness
I’ve had an allergic reaction to something that I have eaten. That was three days ago. I went to the hospital because I started getting hives. They were itchy, so sore and red and hot to the touch. They said it was a surface allergy. And gave me a steroid, antihistamine, anti inflammatory. But after it wears off it gets hot to the touch my face burns and turns red and swells slightly and it starts to spread more til I take the next dose and then I start to feel a little better idk what’s going on

Perhaps your body is responding to something to which it is allergic. Sometimes, reactions are not instant, taking days to fully develop. The redness, swelling, hives, and warmth you feel are typical allergic signs. Avoid whatever caused this reaction. Continue taking prescribed medicine. However, if symptoms worsen or persist, consult a dermatologist promptly.

Am augandan youth aged 25.i got scars which come by themselves on one of my arm but I have tried all possible treatments it has failed we have tried injection, micro needling and other ontintments
Male | 25
Scars are a reminder of where the skin was damaged, and they can be stubborn. You've tried various methods, but they didn't completely clear your scars. Each person is unique, and treatments work differently for everyone. It's important to follow your dermatologist's guidance. Scars fade slowly, so don't lose hope.

Allergy on body after giving antibiotic medicine
Male | 4
Allergic reactions to antibiotics are a common issue, resulting in itching or welts on the body. It is essential to stop using the antibiotic at once and see a doctor. An allergist or an immunologist is going to be able to diagnose and manage the allergy.

Nasty boil down below. Female. Bathed for 3 weeks. Burst but now not leaking but swelling. Have antibiotics. BUT WILL IT BURST ALONE?
Female | 55
Aching and red bumps filled with pus are caused by microbes that enter the skin through cuts or hair follicles. It's good that the bump has burst, but the swelling is still a concern. Being on antibiotics should help fight the infection. The boil will usually drain on its own, and taking a bath and applying warm compresses can help it heal faster. If you develop a fever or the swelling worsens, see a dermatologist.

My daughter is 10 year old and she got allergic it's like water ball it's spreading on legs so what is the best treatment for that.
Female | 10
Your daughter may have red hives, itching, and raised bumps on the skin. Often hives are elevated because of allergens like the diverse range of food, insects, or specified materials. Antihistamine drugs such as Benadryl can be used to help relieve the symptoms of itching and swelling. Check again to ensure no food or other substances have caused the allergy, and if it spreads or worsens, seek medical attention.

I have a spot on my face on the right hand side it's red itchy and sore I need some help to get rid
Female | 38
You might be having some skin irritation. The common symptoms include redness, itchiness, and tenderness. One of the likely reasons could be that you are allergic to something touching your skin. You can get rid of it by applying a gentle unscented moisturizer and refrain from scratching it. If it doesn’t improve after a few days, you should probably see a dermatologist who can rule out any other potential problems.

Good day doctor. My 3 months old baby had itchy blister-like rashes on her feet and other parts of her body. Ive been using triple action cream(anti-inflammatory,fungi and bacteria) it will dry up and new ones will erupt. Dome rashes look ringworm
Female | 3 months
Your little one may have eczema. This condition causes itchy rashes that look like blisters on the skin. It is often caused by dryness; however, there could also be other triggers such as irritants in soaps used during bathing the baby among others. Use mild soap when bathing them and moisturize their skin more often than usual. To relieve itching, wrap them lightly in clothes made from light fabrics like cotton. If these signs persist after considering these measures then don’t hesitate to seek help from a pediatrician.

Which treatment is best for vitiligo in children below 5 years, homeopathy, ayurveda, or allopathy? What treatment is given to kids for focal vitiligo above lips?
Male | 3
The best treatment for vitiligo in children below 5 years old would depend on the severity of the condition. Generally, topical corticosteroids are the most commonly used treatment for vitiligo in children, and they are used in combination with other treatments like phototherapy, topical calcineurin inhibitors, and systemic immunomodulators. For focal vitiligo above the lips, the treatment of choice is usually topical corticosteroids. Additionally, topical immunomodulators and phototherapy can be used in combination with topical corticosteroids to improve the effectiveness of the treatment. Homeopathy, ayurveda, and other alternative treatments can be used in conjunction with conventional treatments, but should be discussed with a doctor before starting.

I have chicken pox and little cold also .I need medicine with prescription.
Female | 25
You have chicken pox accompanied by a slight cold that can be uncomfortable. Chickenpox is the cause of red spots on your skin and itchiness, while a cold can lead to a cough or sneezing. To help with the itchiness, you can take oatmeal baths and use calamine lotion. For the cold drinking warm fluids and resting should be the first. Ensure that besides drinking water, you also get enough sleep in order to allow your body to naturally combat the viruses responsible for these symptoms.

Ian suffering from Padar thamarai fungal infection and how to cure this problem? And I am not able to eat non veg also.
Female | 44
By Padar Fungal infection it looks like you are talking about fungal infection of the foot which might present with the flaky or itchy sole. Generally it is more on one feet or just affecting one feet. If it is affecting both feet then its asymmetrical. The treatment is you have to wear less of shoes so that sweating is less. Open footwear is most preferable. Topical and oral antifungals is the mainstay treatment but if nail is also involved then treatment has to be taken for the long time so that the reserve side of the infection is treated. Consult a dermatologist for proper consultation.

Skin atrophy is the thinning of the skin and it can happen for different reasons like aging, steroid abuse, or some medical conditions. Skin atrophy is the major issue and it is necessary to use gentle lotions and creams to keep your skin moisturized to solve it. Refrain from harsh chemicals and cover your skin from the sun. Eating a balanced meal full of vitamins and minerals can also help your skin. Always bear in mind that the major reason for taking good care of the skin is for the overall well-being of the body.

Female | 19
A fungal infection seems present between your legs and private parts. Warm, moist environments allow fungal infections to occur. Itching, redness, and rashes are common symptoms. Antifungal cream from your pharmacist can treat it. Keeping the area clean and dry is crucial. Avoid tight clothing too. Consult a dermatologist if it persists.

Hello, I have experienced something out of ordinary which is my right upper skin turning black from knuckles and both elbows. I tend to shake mostly when doing something small like inserting a pin in a small hole. I have a ringing in my ear in a day It can happen 3 to 4 times and it takes like 4 seconds . I thought it's from my infected teeth but am not sure . Am working 12 hours a day is it fatigue ?
Female | 25
The dark skin tone might stem from sluggish blood flow. As for the shaking and ear ringing, those could be linked to stress or fatigue from all that hard work. Remember to pause during those long shifts, try some relaxation exercises, and nourish yourself properly. If the issues persist, don't hesitate to consult a dermatologist.

Hi. I have brown dots on my forehead and cheeks bones. I have been using vitamin c and la roche-posay effaclar duo with +M. But the dots are not going.
Female | 21
Brown splotches on the forehead or cheekbones may be due to a skin condition known as hyperpigmentation, which indicates that certain areas of the skin produce more melanin, in dark spots. The easiest way to improve the situation is to use skincare products with vitamin C and avoid sun exposure. Still, patients need to understand that it does take a little time. The use of sunscreen can help prevent the spots from getting darker. You can visit a dermatologist in case of failure.

Have some white dots in a cock
Male | 24
Spotting small white dots on your skin can feel a bit odd. Those little specks are likely Fordyce spots. These harmless bumps happen when oil glands get bigger than usual. Fordyce spots are super common, and lots of people have them. They're no big deal and don't need any special treatment. Keep washing your body like normal. If the spots bother you or seem unusual, it's a good idea to chat with a dermatologist. But in most cases, Fordyce spots are simply a natural part of healthy skin.

Male | 19
This can occur as a result of clogged pores, excessive oil production, or the bacteria causing infections. The symptoms may be red bumps, pus-filled pimples, or even itching. For the already mentioned purpose, cleaning the area regularly, wearing breathable underwear, and staying away from harsh soaps are recommended. On the other hand, if the problem persists or it worsens, it is advisable to visit a dermatologist for consultation.
