No, a medical treatment is usually not required as these kind lesions are benign and do not cause any symptoms. But I advise you to visit the concerned doctor regularly to monitor the lesions and check their growth and know whether they are causing any other problem.

Male | 17

Headache in the back of the head is caused by TENSION.... Tension headaches are COMMON and not harmful... POOR POSTURE can cause it... DEHYDRATION is another cause... STRESS is also a significant factor... Over-the-counter PAIN RELIEVERS can help... Warm compresses can alleviate discomfort... Practice stress-reducing techniques such as EXERCISE and MEDITATION... Seek medical attention if headache persists...

Thyroiditis, TSH low, T3 and T4 Normal. Should I take prednisone?

Female | 51

Consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice regarding thyroiditis. If TSH is low but T3 and T4 are normal, it could indicate subacute thyroiditis or hyperthyroidism. Prednisone may be prescribed to manage inflammation in some cases, but only take it under a doctor's guidance.

Hi, I am a 17-year-old male who was scratched by a cat. This cat is not a house pet, as it lives outside of the house and can wander around the village freely. I was lightly scratched on my hand with some blood. I previously took the anti-rabies vaccine nearly 2 years ago (4 shots) and I don't know whether or not I should take another one. This cat is also not vaccinated against anti-rabies.

Male | 17

Your anti-rabies vaccine­ is still recent. A scratch from a cat might lead to an infection, but rabies is uncommon. Be watchful for swelling, redne­ss, or discomfort near the scratch area. If those­ signs arise, visit your doctor promptly. No need for anothe­r vaccine now since yours is still valid. Clean the­ scratch thoroughly and monitor it.

Female | 24

Your ge­nes control most of it. Short parents often me­an you won't tower. Lacking nutrients when young might slow growth too. Eating right with e­xercise allows maximum possible he­ight.

Hello... I would like a suggestion about how to get rid adominal fat.. My weight is normal, less than 60 kg. The rest of my body has normal shape but my waist circumference is around 90. It looks completely out of place.. I eat healthy and I'm not sedentary.. In the past I was overweight. not a lot. i lost all the excess weight, i even weighed less than normal, around 48, ,50. But no matter how little i weighed, the abdomen was still big, it was smaller when i had that way, but anyway it wasnt normal for weighing little. Then i rached the right healthy weight for me but my abdomen never matched the rest. I dont take any pill that could cause this. I had vitamin d deficiency. I've heard it could cause abdominal fat too. What could I do to change this??

Female | 25

Abdominal fat is normally linked to several factors such as genes, lifestyle and hormones. It is important to get advice from an endocrinologist or nutritionist to help explain the underlying cause of your condition. They will recommend particular weight-loss strategies along with treatment that will suit your needs

The symptoms of fever, cough, tiredness or difficulty in breathing might be due to common cold or flu. You should rest, drink lots of fluids and take over-the-counter medicines like paracetamol for fever. Seek medical help if the signs get worse or do not improve after a few days.

I want to give paint killer to my son of 17yrs as an hour b4 he has taken paracetamol can I give him movera 15mg

Male | 17

Movera is a pain re­lieving medication. Howeve­r, taking both medications close togethe­r might not be safe. They can pote­ntially cause stomach problems like ulce­rs or bleeding if taken too close­. It's better to wait a few hours be­fore administering Movera. If he­'s still experiencing pain afte­r that, you could consider giving him Movera later. But it's always wise­ to consult a doctor be­fore combining different drugs.

Hi I have a lump on my lower back and it’s been there for about a month or so and won’t go away even if I stretch, it hurts to massage

Female | 17

A lump on your lower back that's been there for a month and doesn't go away might have various causes. To be safe, you should consult a general physician or a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis. The lump could be due to different factors such as a cyst, lipoma, or infection. Since it's painful and doesn't respond to stretching or massage, it's best to avoid self treatment and seek medical attention.
