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 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.

Hi sir I'm from Aurangabad sir I have a hypertrophic scar in my hands I have do laser CO2 fractional laser in this scar bt no improvement please tell me treatment for this scar
Female | 20
Hypertrophic scars are bumpy in nature due to excess scar tissue production and abnormal wound healing post any injury or cut. The choice of treatment would be intralesional Triamcinolone acetonide injections into the scar at 3-4weekly intervals. This may be helpful in reducing the bumpiness of the scar. It is done by a dermatologist. Concentration of the injection is decided by the Dermatologist depending on the how tough the scar is. For Consultation please visit dermatologist near you.

I have a rectangular patch of swelling or inflammation on my lower leg. It is about 4 inches in length and 3 inches in width. It has a small lump inside of it as well. I do not feel any pain nor do I think it is tender. I’ve had it for maybe about 5 or 6 moths and it has now gotten any smaller or bigger. The only medication I’ve. even taking is unisom for a few years now for insomnia and now for nausea because I am about 6 weeks pregnant. I also take prenatal. Why might I have these swelling/inflammation?
Female | 21
You may have a lipoma, a lump of fat lies beneath the skin. It is painless, harmless. Its size remains constant, generally. Your medications likely didn't cause it. Still, seek a doctor's examination for confirmation. If it grows, changes color, or brings pain, definitely consult a dermatologist.

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.

hwo to removr black spot on face
Male | 58
Black spots on the face are often a result of sun exposure, hormonal changes, or skin inflammation. They tend to form as flat areas that are darker than the surrounding skin. To remove these spots, you may opt to use over-the-counter creams containing retinol or hydroquinone, among other things. Moreover, it is also necessary to keep your skin safe from the sun's rays by applying sunscreen to it daily. If the spots persist or you have concerns, seeing a dermatologist is the best option for further evaluation and treatment.

I am a 26 year old female. I went on vacation to Rhode Island. On Thursday after arriving I went and sat in a porch swing outside. A couple minutes later I felt something bite me. First it looked like mosquitos. Now it does not. Now it burns/stings. It does not itch. They are red and kinda scabbed over like. I have about 9 spots in a cluster on my back right in the middle of my spine. They are really uncomfortable.
Female | 26
You may have been bitten by a spider or some other bug that causes irritation. Initially these bites may resemble mosquito bites but they change with time. A burning/stinging sensation is a frequent symptom. To ease the discomfort, you could try applying a cold compress to the area. If it does not improve or if you start to feel unwell, visit a dermatologist.

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.

Small black burn marks from estim device under glans
Male | 20
Small burn marks under one's private parts can happen from using electronic devices. These marks may be black and caused by too much rubbing or heat. You'll likely feel tender, red, and sore there. Stop using the device right away. Gently wash the area with a mild soap and water. Apply a soothing cream like aloe vera to help it heal. If the burn marks stay or worsens, see a doctor to get checked out and treated properly.

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 think I have accidentally been consuming evening primrose oil for the skin thinking it was a food supplement
Female | 44
Evening primrose oil isn't harmful to the skin, but accidentally consuming it might cause mild stomach issues like nausea or diarrhea. It's not serious, so just stop using it and drink plenty of water to help flush it out. If you feel very uncomfortable, consult a dermatologist for advice.

I’m taking Bactrim for a skin infection but I have now developed a yeast infection
Female | 36
This occurs when you take antibiotics such as Bactrim for a skin infection. Itching, redness, and strange discharge are all symptoms of yeast infections. To relieve these symptoms, try using an over-the-counter antifungal cream. You can also prevent yeast infections by keeping the area clean and dry. If the symptoms don’t go away, be sure to see a dermatologist.

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.

It's been a week since i started experiencing itching around my genital area. Gradually, I also started experiencing pain in the penis and there are visible marks that have started appearing. Also, i feel the urge to urinate more frequently than usual.
Male | 23
It sounds like you might be suffering from a urinary tract infection, which is an unlikely condition where bacteria have been introduced to your pee area causing trouble. It may make you feel itchy, and painful during your urination, and even give you a constant urge to urinate more frequently. Consult a dermatologist for proper treatment

Theres a small red dots on my pennis and its dry..somtimes it goes away and sometimes it seens.Even its not causing any pain pr itching.
Male | 26
Small red dots appearing and disappearing on the penis without irritation or discomfort are likely penile papules. These benign growths frequently occur in males. Occasionally, they may seem dry. Their exact origin remains unclear, but they don't typically indicate serious health issues. Maintaining proper hygiene and avoiding harsh cleansers or moisturizers can help manage them. However, should any changes or discomfort arise, consulting a dermatologist is important for reassurance.

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.
