An infected belly button piercing can lead to complications. If the ball is stuck inside and your skin has closed up, it's best to get help. Contact a dermatologist immediately. The disease may worsen if the wrong method of treatment is used. Don't worry, they can help you get rid of the infection and remove the ball safely.

The ball getting stuck inside your skin can lead to infection. Infection may manifest in the following ways: redness, pain, swelling, and discharge. The piercing closing up can create a situation where the infection is trapped inside. It's important to seek medical help as soon as possible in these cases. You can call a medical helpline, and they will tell you what to do next.

You must have a private consultation with a dermatologist or a piercing specialist today. The outcome of piercing-related problems can be life-threatening because the more time you are leaving the infection untreated, the worse it will become.

It is bad if the ball gets stuck inside the belly button and the skin closes around it. If your piercing has been infected for a while, it might be causing the problem too. Infections can cause swelling, redness, pain, and discharge. You should get help for this. Go to the urgent care where they will be able to take the ball away and treat you for the infection.

Female | 21

Hi Muskan... Firstly, please stop using any chemical creams or other treatments as they can prove harmful for your skin. Instead, try going for moisturizers to keep your skin hydrated and use natural ingredients like honey, turmeric etc. to lighten your skin. I also advise you to apply sunscreen when going out. Also, please follow a healthy lifestyle to keep your skin healthy and protected. I hope this answer proved helpful.

Female | 21

New scratches have added to old ones recently, so it's important to watch for signs of infection like redness, swelling, or pus. Clean the wound with soap and water, and monitor it closely. If you notice any of these symptoms, see a doctor right away.

While cutting pubic hairs down there, I have cut myself from scissors. Can this cause tatnus. What should I do?

Female | 27

Tetanus disease comes with some toxic dirty cuts that make swallowing very hard as well as stiffness of muscles generally. Such people should ensure the scratch is germs-free by washing it with water and soap and then applying any antiseptic. One should also note that if you have not had any tetanus vaccination within the last ten years, make sure it is done as soon as possible to prevent further infections.

i want to check my face is my face is healthy or fat

Male | 24

You want to figure out whether it is healthy or there is too much fat, then look for signs like puffiness, a double chin, or round cheeks. A situation like this may be caused by eating too many junk foods and not being physically active enough. To fix this, you can eat more fruits and vegetables, drink lots of water, and move with some activities such as walking, or dancing.

Can stress cause bruising

Female | 23

Worry does not leave marks on your skin. Howe­ver, it may cause restle­ssness. Restless pe­ople sometimes scratch or bump into obje­cts. This can result in bruises forming. Fee­ling tense weake­ns your body's defenses. A we­akened immune syste­m makes bruising more likely. To pre­vent stress-relate­d bruising, you should find ways to relax. Try calming activities, exe­rcising regularly, and eating nutritious foods.

acutally i have pimples and the dark sports made by pimple so how can i reduce it and make skin glow

Female | 16

Pimples and dark spots are very common and trouble a lot of people. The oil and bacteria are responsible for the development of pimples on the skin that result in inflammation. If the acne clears, the spots will be left behind. To treat them, use a mild face wash, don't pop your pimples, and use creams that contain retinol or vitamin C. Moreover, for healthy skin wear sunscreen every day.
