Could my painful, swollen toe be infected and ingrown?
Pretty sure ive got an ingrown toenail, and im pretty sure its infected. Ive been cutting it myself for over a year but its too painful. Side of my toe’s kind of swollen, its very red/pink. Also if I pull the skin on the side of the ingrown toe part away, pus will kinda leak out a bit. And as of today, its hurting to walk. If i even bump the top of my toe, i get searing pain in my toe. And as of right now, my foot and calf have this kind of ache-y pain.

The swelling, redness, and pus leakage plus pain are the symptoms of infected. The infection might get worse if no treatment is done. The pain and the ache in your foot and calf might be caused by the spreading of the infection. You have to see a dermatologist. They could recommend antibiotics or surgery to take away the ingrown toenail.

I got lumb in penis please let me no what is that I don't understand it's on top of ny penis head but it's not hurt or pain
Male | 34
This could be scary but don’t worry; it’s always best to have it looked at to make sure that it’s not something bad. Cysts, pimples or skin growths could cause lumps on the penis. While it doesn’t hurt right now, you should see a dermatologist about what this is exactly and how to treat it.

I am 18 years old l have used many medicines for acne but haven't changed what should I do?
Female | 18
Acne occurs when the pores get clogged with oil and bacteria. Having a bunch of medications and no benefits can be a terrible thing. It is crucial to keep in mind that everyone's skin is unique. Often an easy skincare program using mild products is the right route. Eliminate harsh chemicals and see a dermatologist to provide you with individualized recommendations.

I am on Lamictal 100mg since last November The last 2weeks been having itchy skin no rash could this be the begging of Steven Johnson syndrome
Female | 68
Lamictal may cause itchy skin without any rash. Although rare, Stevens-Johnson syndrome is a concern. Fever, skin pain, and red or purple rash indicate SJS. If worried, talk to your doctor immediately. They'll determine if it's medication-related or not. Don't stop taking Lamictal before consulting your dermatologist.

I have these little rashes on my neck and I need them to go away I need some type of cream or medicine that would help it so my neck wouldn’t have all of these rashes on my neck it’s so annoying
Female | 20
These welts might result from skin irritations, allergies, or even some skin disorders such as eczema. To help them disappear, you could get an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream. This cream will reduce the swelling. Avoid itching or scratching to prevent further irritation. Also, remember to clean the affected area and keep it dry. But if these rashes are still there after doing all these things then go see a dermatologist.

Female | 25
Hives, a fever and stomach aches suck. Plus your tests showing low albumin and high ESR and CRP are like major red flags. It could be that there is inflammation somewhere in your body. You need to see your doctor again so they can try and work out what’s causing it and how best to treat you.

I am 30 years old. I am a PCOD patient and have lots of facial hair as well as on chin and neck. I want to do laser hair removal. Please tell me the cost of full face hair removal and is it effective?
Female | 30
Laser hair removal is a very effective way to reduce unwanted facial hair. It works by targeting the pigment in the hair follicle, which is why it is most effective on those with dark, coarse hair. It may require multiple treatments to achieve desired results, and many people find that laser hair removal is a permanent solution to their unwanted facial hair.
The cost of full face laser hair removal varies depending on the provider, location, and size of the area being treated.

Post acne erythema and macular erythematous scars are common in few individuals as the acne subside. Sometimes underlying Rosacea component may also contribute to redness. Oral isotretinoin itself can cause mild erythema as long as the drug is taken if sunscreen is not used appropriately. Quasi long pulse mode of QS yag laser, topical drugs like topical Ivermectin, metronidazole for underlying rosaceaetc are prescribed by the Dermatologists. Please consult a Dermatologist for the same.

Best sunscreen for oily skin and acne prone skin for teenagers girls
Female | 16
Taking care of oily, acne-prone skin is a priority for many teenage girls. Sunscreen plays a vital role in skin protection. Choose oil-free and non-comedogenic sunscreens. These won't clog pores or make your skin greasy. Look for zinc oxide or titanium dioxide ingredients. They are gentle. Sunscreen prevents skin damage and premature aging. Establish a daily sunscreen habit for healthy skin.

It sounds like you are experiencing severe hair and eyelash loss, along with other symptoms. It's important to consult a dermatologist for your hair and lash concerns and a general physician to check your overall health. Please visit the nearest specialist to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.

my friend literally woke up with a swollen right side of her face. she had experienced pain on her mouth. the dentist could find nothing wrong and prescribed an antibiotic with no results. her face remains swollen with no discomfot or mobility problems. what would have caused this.
Female | 54
Your friend might suffer from sialadenitis, an inflamed salivary gland condition. A blockage prevents smooth saliva flow, causing swelling and pain around the jaw. Since teeth weren't problematic, glands could be the culprit. Warm compresses and water intake might ease discomfort by promoting saliva flow. However, if swelling persists, visiting a dermatologist is advisable for assessment and potential treatment.

Hello, Recently I have noticed what looks like a rash on my foot, but it isn't itchy and It doesn't usually hurt when I am walking. I've had it for a few weeks it doesn't seem to be getting worse but it doesn't seem to be improving. I'm worried it could be something serious
Female | 32
A rash without itchiness or pain seems harmless, yet various factors could cause it. It might stem from a fungal infection, eczema, or contact dermatitis. However, some non-itchy rashes indicate more severe underlying issues. To ensure proper diagnosis and treatment, consulting a dermatologist remains the safest bet.

It's important to get examined by a healthcare professional, like a dermatologist or a urologist, to diagnose any concerns regarding HSV-1 or HSV-2 accurately. Avoid self-diagnosis based on appearance, as it can be misleading. Early detection and proper medical guidance are crucial for managing any potential infections.

Hello i am 21 years old, I did an ankle tattoo on Tuesday and since then my foot is hurting me specially when I walk, I don't know if it's relatable but I got my ankle sprained 6months ago so I don't know if I shouldn't do it on the samw ankle, I'm worried if there's something danger or it's normal and the pain will fade away soon, please if you can help me thank you
Female | 21
It is totally normal to get some pain and abrasions after getting a tattoo, especially when it comes to ankles because ankles have the thinnest skin. But the pain that lingers or gets worse strongly suggests a medical concern. In this case, one should definitely visit a doctor, ideally a dermatologist, in order to exclude or confirm the possibility of infection or an allergic reaction. With your past ankle sprain history, it would be advantageous to talk an orthopedist too, and to watch that the your tattoo is not interfering with the healing process.

I am 21 year old male with itchy foreskin and itchy scrotum, I have used a topical ointment like hooch itch cream but didn’t work I applied other lotions to help smooth but doesn’t seem to go away and I’ve had it for weeks now.
Male | 21
You may have jock itch, a common condition. It makes the groin area itchy and red. This includes the scrotum and foreskin. A fungal infection usually causes jock itch. To help, keep the area clean and dry. Try an antifungal cream for a jock itch. Wash and dry thoroughly before applying cream. Wear loose, breathable cotton underwear. Don't share towels or clothes, as the itch spreads easily. If home treatments don't help, see a dermatologist.

Female | 29
Lupus can lead to redness, rashes, and sensitivity to light. Safeguard your skin from the sun, as sunlight can bring on lupus flare-ups. Use light skincare products and moisturizing cream to replenish your skin frequently. If the symptoms continue, talk to a dermatologist. They could suggest particular treatments to aid in the management of your skin disorder.
