Should I continue Combiderm for my improving abscess?

I have a small abscess on my waistline around 0.1-0.2cm wide and around 0.01cm deep. I’ve had it since 10 December but received oral and topical antibiotics about 10 days ago. It’s since improved but i’m wondering if I should continue combiderm for over 10 days or stop? There’s minimal yellowish liquid coming out of it already.

Little abscesses can form because of infections, however, the presence of a yellowish fluid often indicates that healing is taking place. Regarding Combiderm, it should be your doctor who determines how long to take it. If irritation persists tomorrow or is accompanied by pain, redness, or swelling, then consider addressing it with your dermatologist to get an additional diagnosis. They can help with rapid recovery and decide if extra medication is needed.

PIGMENTATION TANG REMOVER

Male | 24

Pigmentation that occurs as a result of tanning removal agents is a skin problem where dark, scaly, patches appear. Symptoms may be monotonous and the colored patches that occur on the skin. Tang removers are composed of potent chemicals that can harm your skin and lead to these patches. To do this, first, you should stop using the tan remover and instead shift to more skin-friendly products. If the case is like this, shield them from the sun.

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.

Hi Doctor, I'm experiencing a recurring skin issue. It starts as a small red dot, which then develops into a sore, causing skin damage. The sore heals after 2-3 weeks, but instead of resolving, the condition spreads to a new location just above the previous sore.

Male | 24

You may have a skin condition known as impetigo. It is usually first seen as a red point and develops into an ulcer thereafter ten days or so, and is finally healed. It may also spread to other skin areas on the body. This is the result of bacteria entering the body through small cuts or sores. In a clean environment, and with the help of antibiotic ointment, the skin can be healed.

Urjas oil lagane par jalan hota hai

Male | 36

Feeling a burning sensation after being oiled with Urjas is not unheard of. It could be because your skin is sensitive, or if you have any allergies to the components of the oil causing the reaction. Your skin reacting is a sign. To help with this, immediately cease using the oil, wash the area with a little gentle soap and water, and apply a soothing moisturizer or aloe vera gel. If the sensation persists, switch to a different product.

I am 28 years old female suffering from the problem of dark circles circles since last 10 years. I have taken a lot of treatments from 15+ doctors but nothing worked, i even tried all home remedies, ayurveda, homeopathy and much more, because of which my skin got burned twice. Moreover my dark circles got even more prominent and stiff. Now i want to head forward towards advance treatments. Doctors are suggesting me to go for chemical peel . Therefore i want a second opinion on whether it will work, how effective it will be and if it will it be safe.

Female | 28

Chemical peels can be an effective treatment for dark circles. It involves the use of a chemical solution that is applied to the skin in order to remove dead skin cells and stimulate the growth of new, healthy skin cells. This can help to reduce the appearance of dark circles, although it is not a guaranteed solution and may require multiple treatments to achieve the desired results. It is important to consult with your dermatologist before undergoing any chemical peel procedure, as it can carry some serious risks. These risks can include scarring, infection, skin discoloration, and irritation. Additionally, chemical peels can cause lasting damage to the skin if not performed properly. Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions carefully.

I have acne scars which topical creams are best to use

Male | 24

Topical creams having retinoids, glycolic acid, and vitamin C are quite helpful in fading away the appearance of the scars. Nevertheless, you need to confer with a dermatologist if you are going to opt for a skin cream and the specialist can guide you with a better treatment plan that is unique to your type of skin and the extent of your scars.

I am 19 years old and recent night I am going on my roof when I was on stairs I saw a dog coming through stair then he barks near me and I fell from stairs . Then I see my leg scratch I have doubt that dog scratch me or not

Male | 19

If a dog happens to cut your skin, it can be the start of an infection. The wound should be washed with soap and water to clean it thoroughly. Be alert for symptoms of an infection such as redness, swelling, warmth, or pus. If you see these signs, it is necessary to see a doctor for further assessment and treatment.

The appearance of sagging or wrinkle skin can be lessened by improving skin tightening and plastic surgery. Collagen regeneration is done through the use of heat or energy devices that can lift and firm the skin. If you end up choosing body skin tightening, it is very imperative that you visit a doctor who specializes in this field and discuss your concerns as well as determine a good treatment plan.

Hello I consume ketanzole lotion by mistake 1 teaspoon what should I do

Male | 47

If this did happen, don’t panic too much, as it can occur. Ketoconazole contains an ingredient that can be harmful when ingested. Symptoms such as stomach ache, nausea, or vomiting are likely to occur. If you notice any of these signs, seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, try not to get too worked up about it. Instead, drink plenty of water to help reduce the concentration of the drug in your system.
