How can I treat sore, peeling thumb skin?

Peeling skin on thumb with sore. What can I do?

1 Answer

Answered on 3rd Sept '24

The peeling skin could be caused by irritation, dryness, or an allergic reaction. Perhaps, the soreness comes from the skin being a bit burned. Keep your hands moisturized with lotion and don't pick at the skin. If it's not getting any better or if it's getting worse, visit a dermatologist.

I am 33 years old men.i working as a driver .I have acne on buttocks for several years. Especially after driven vehicle I feel so hard . What can I do now..? Is there any location

Male | 33

A breakout on your bum can arise due to sweat, friction, or clogging pores with bacteria. To minimize acne, wear loose-fitting clothes, shower after driving, and use a mild facial cleanser. As other options, develop a habit of consulting with the pharma about the medications selected. It may help you reduce the symptoms.

Hard spot rashes on male sex organ and pubic area

Male | 20

It is necessary to see a dermatologist for the rashes. These rashes could be an indication that you have sexually transmitted infections like genital warts or herpes. Do not self-diagnosing or treating at home because it could aggravate the condition.

I am 20 year old female, My hands got some bumps can say its keratosis pilaris and surface is rough too so what should i do now ? A laser or just a treatment?

Female | 20

This can be treated with either topical creams or laser treatments. Depending on the severity of your condition, it is best to consult a dermatologist to determine the best treatment for you. Laser treatments are often more effective than topical creams, but a bit expensive. Topical creams can be used to reduce the appearance of the bumps but may not completely remove them.

I’m feeling embarrassed to say it, but I’m saying it anyway. I’ve got some bumps on my penis, and it’s itching here. What should I do now? Which department’s doctor should I consult?urologist?

Male | 19

I get it, you might be ashamed of what you did, but in the end, your health is what is most important, and I respect you for coming up to deal with it. The bumps and the itchiness of your penis may have been caused by an infection, an allergic reaction, or a condition affecting the skin. For the best case scenario, you should visit a urologist. They are the doctors who treat matters concerning the urinary tract and male reproductive system.

how to cure my body odor. l have tried everything and nothing seems to work. such as different soaps, exfoliating gloves, apple vinegar vinegar

Female | 15

Bacteria on the skin mix with sweat, causing odor. Certain foods can worsen body odor. Using aluminum deodorant helps reduce sweating. Shower daily and wear breathable fabrics. Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet. Body odor isn't a complex issue—keeping clean is key. However, since bacteria are always present, it's important to combat odor daily.

Laser scar removal is not usually recommended for deep scars on the face. Please consult a plastic surgeon. Based on your condition and by physically examining you, he will tell you which is a suitable treatment for you.
