This happens when your body fights infection. Inflammation is indicated by the tenderness and pain. The pain moving to the collarbone could mean that the infection is spreading. It is important to get checked by a dermatologist so that they can find out what exactly is causing it. They might prescribe antibiotics if it’s because of an infection.

i have vein type structure on my penis glans from 3 months. what's that?

Male | 22

If you notice some vein-like structures on your penis glans, those are likely just normal blood vessels that have become more visible. You may notice this more during arousal. Usually, it’s not anything to worry about and doesn’t need treatment. However, if they are causing you pain or discomfort, or if they have appeared suddenly, it would be best for you to see a doctor so they can be evaluated further.

I don't know if it's jock itch because I sweat alot in that area or its am STI because I am sexually active

Male | 24

Either a jock itch or an STI can cause groin itching. Jock itch results from sweat and friction, leading to redness, itching, and rashes. An STI may have similar symptoms but is related to unprotected sex. Use antifungal creams for jock itch and practice safe sex to prevent STIs. Maintaining good hygiene is also important.

I have acne prone skin which food is good for me and which food cam worse my acne suggest me some foods so I can cure my acne without Applying pharmacy products

Female | 20

Fruits, vegetables, and grains are very good for your skin. These products contain vitamins and antioxidants that can benefit your skin. Conversely, belief in a protective factor suggests that hormones like androgens cause acne, and poor lifestyle habits by consuming greasy or sweet fatty foods might make acne worse. Drink more water. It is the best way to keep acne away since it purifies your skin. A balanced diet is the most effective means of controlling acne.

Female | 5

I suggest that you should take your daughter to a dermatologist who will then check and identify the cause of her rash. It is advised that you consult a dermatologist close to you before you prescribe any drug or treatment.

Hello. Roughly one month ago I purchased a home wart removal kit to remove what appeared to be a benign wart on the back of my knee. The nozzle on this device broke during use, spraying an area roughly two inches in diameter on my skin with dimethyl ether. This caused a small superficial frostbite/burn, but didn't take care of the wart so I used another kit afterwards which used a swab rather than a nozzle. After using both of these, the area blistered. This blister quickly popped and fell off on its own after just a day, leaving an area of incredibly raw and bloody skin. I applied neosporin to this area regularly and kept it clean allowing it to heal. It's been a month now and while this area isn't entirely healed, it has protective skin on it now. My issue here is the area has a blotchy dark coloration now, looking almost like bruising. This seems odd to me given that it's been a month now, should I be worried about this coloration? There is no pain at the site, though the skin there is quite thin and rough.

Male | 32

Its natural to experience discoloration in skin especially after a blister or wound has occurred. color changes during the healing process. It could be due to hyperpigmentation which is the increased production of melanin in that area. This can result in a bruise-like appearance.

I am a 18 year old male. I used my friends derma roller . And now I am anxious if I can get hiv from it although he doesn't have hiv. The roller was disinfected before I used it with spray alcohol.

Male | 18

It is safe to use a friend's derma roller after disinfection if it has been sprayed with alcohol. HIV is a sexual infection; sharing needles is one of the transmitter. A sterilized roller is thus no cause of fear or stress if someone else has got HIV. Such sterilized tools do not risk transmitting HIV.

Is there a chance to be caught by Hiv if someone's diabetes needle pricked my hand

Female | 19

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.

Yes, there are treatments available for skin fungus allergies. The most effective treatments are usually a combination of topical and oral medications. Topical medications may include antifungal creams, lotions, and ointments. Oral medications may include antifungal pills or injections. Other treatments such as phototherapy and laser therapy may also be recommended by your doctor. It is important to talk to your doctor to decide which treatment is best for your father.
