Can I get chicken pox again while caring?

My mother and brother have chicken pox. It's been 4 days and taking medicine. I have had this disease before. Is there any possibility of more coming as I am taking care of them? My father is on medication after his stroke. So, can he take preventive medicine? Is there any use in consuming it for so many days? Since we are all in one house, there is a common toilet. Cleaned with Dettol after each use. Is there a problem with that?

It's so cool that you worry about your family's health. As you have already had chicken pox, you are in all probabilities immune to it. Your dad who is in the process of stroke recovery should not use any preventive medicines on his own without consulting with the doctor. It is a good thing to wash the toilet with Dettol to reduce the possibility of the germs spreading. Pure, practicing the supreme rudiments and caring for one another will be enough to get by!

Ma'am aaj mera eyes side mai nail se lag kr peel hogya skin Maan dag toh nhi na hoga boroline apply ki hu Pani aa raha hai wound se but blood nahi or kitna din tak improve ho jga skin

Female | 24

If it has turned slightly yellow, it may be a minor infection. Using Boroline is fine at the moment. When it is discharging clear liquid, then it is healing. Do not pick it, keep it clean, and look for any redness or increased pain. It will get better in about a week.

Hello.. i am priti.2 day ago cat bite me.but not bleeding only two min. Burning and red dot and morning no dot .what should i do.

Female | 30

From what you are telling me, a cat must have bitten you. And even though it didn't bleed, you saw a burning sensation and a red dot after the event. This is a possible result of bacteria from the cat's mouth. It is important to wash the area with soap and water. Check for any swelling, pain, or redness. If you see anything out of the ordinary, don't hesitate to see a doctor.

Sir/madam My chaild foot had heavy cracks what is the solution to this

Male | 9

It is important to keep your child’s feet clean and dry to prevent infection and cracking. A dermatologist or podiatrist can best determine and treat the condition. However, the best solution for cracked feet is to keep your feet hydrated and moisturized. This can be done by using lotions and creams specifically designed for cracked feet. You can also soak your feet in warm water with Epsom salts or other moisturizing oils such as olive oil or coconut oil.

I am 22 years old and I am facing with eczema on my finger it's kind of a dry itchy and small swellings on that finger and that spreading on other fingers of my hand too I have tried many creams but it helps temporarily and again the condition continues.. what should I do?

Female | 22

When ignored, eczema can cause dry, itchy skin with small bumps that may spread to other fingers. This condition is usually not contagious but uncomfortable. Eczema may be brought about by allergens or irritants present in the environment or stressors at home or the workplace. To manage this kind of problem, always keep the skin moisturized all the time; avoid anything that triggered the outbreak such as harsh detergent soaps among others–instead use mild ones which are readily available over-the-counter (OTC) drugs like hydrocortisone creams can also work effectively if prescribed by doctors specializing in treating diseases related with epidermis.

Entire body itches and burns when I walk.

It seems that you might have an issue with cholinergic urticaria. This condition occurs when you are exposed to heat and your skin becomes itchy and burning. In order to cope, you should drink cool water, wear comfortable clothes.

What to do to get rid of blackheads on the face. And to brighten the face

Male | 25

Blackheads are minuscule black spots on your skin. They are a result of oil and dead skin blocking the pores on the skin. To clarify them, gently wash the pores once daily, never neglect the exfoliation part, and the third thing is to apply a non-come-genic moisturizer. Besides you can try using salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide products. Don't forget to wash your face thoroughly and moisturize it.
