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.

Mere scalp me 1yrs se papdi padh rhi hai aur Mein selsun shampoo lagati Hu but Kuch asar nhi hai to Kya lagaya
Female | 15
This could be seborrheic dermatitis, a condition causing red, flaky patches. Regular dandruff shampoos may not cut it here. Try using a medicated shampoo with ketoconazole or coal tar instead. If that pesky rash sticks around, it's smart to chat with a dermatologist. They can properly check it out and suggest treatments to make that rash hit the road.

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.

Dear Doctor, When anal fungus originates from an external source, how many weeks without anal itching are needed to rule out a specific event as the cause? Merry Christmas
Male | 34
When it comes to sources outside the body that can cause anal discomfort, these symptoms like itching or irritation usually go away in a few weeks of relieving the irritant. Normally, a period of two weeks to a month without any discomfort would suggest that the previous problem was resolved. Possible causes include skin irritation or hygiene practices. To minimize the symptoms, one has to keep good hygiene, use antifungal creams if it is necessary, and prevent irritations of known causes. If you suffer from them on and on or feel worse, do not hesitate to consult a dermatologist for personalized advice.

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.

It' been one year skin infection on my face I use cream but never it goes away
Female | 43
For a year, your face battled an unwavering skin issue despite using cream. Bacteria, viruses, fungi - any could instigate such infections. Perhaps the cream proved ineffective, failing to address the root cause. Seeking a dermatologist's expertise would provide a precise diagnosis, unlocking the appropriate treatment path. Promptly resolving infections is crucial; neglecting them risks exacerbating the condition further.

Hello doctor.. I have heavy hair fall issue.. I have been facing this issue since 10 years... Currently iam using minoxidil. Recently i have done with blood tests.. No thyroid and no ferritin issues... Vit d deficiency is there.. Nd i am unmarried womam.. My hair partition width is clearly visible.. I want to take oral minoxidil.. Will you please prescribe nd plz tell me if any side effects are there..
Female | 32
Excessive hair shedding for an extended period can understandably cause distress. Having ruled out deficiencies through blood tests is a positive step. However, your Vitamin D deficiency may contribute to hair loss. Utilizing minoxidil topically could help, but oral minoxidil carries potential risks like low blood pressure and heart palpitations. Before initiating any new medication, I advise discussing the possibility of oral minoxidil with a dermatologist to carefully evaluate the pros and cons. Making an informed decision after considering all factors is crucial.

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.

My skin is getting dark , I want to glow my skin and I want to reduce my white hair
बुरी तरह | 27
Darkening of the skin and white hair are often the first signs of aging. Sun exposure and certain medications may be the causes of the skin color becoming darker. Gray hair may appear if the pigment cells in the hair follicles stop producing color. Sunscreen and drinking water can make your skin agile and healthy. Moreover, eating well can be a good measure. For white hair, stress management and a well-balanced diet are helpful. Visit a dermatologist if you are concerned.

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.

I am almost 14,I burned myself with hot oil,now there are red dots on my arm.maybe 2nd degree burns
Male | 13
The spots on your arm that turn red indicate inflammation caused by the hot oil and can be a sign of a burn. Second-degree burns are usually characterized by red skin, swelling, and blistering. It’s best to start off doing this by cooling the area down with lukewarm water for a good 10-15 minutes then wash it gently with a mild soap. Use a clean dressing to protect the skin. Be sure to watch for a rise in redness or the appearance of pus, which are indicators of infection. If you are enduring acute pain or the symptoms worsen, then be sure to visit a dermatologist for comprehensive care and treatment.

You may be suffering from what is known as eczema. Eczema is a skin condition that causes the skin to become itchy, swollen, and red. It usually moves from one place on the body to another. This can be triggered by some soaps, detergents, or stress. For the management of eczema, try to use gentle and unscented soaps, moisturizing your skin, and avoiding scratches. If the symptoms do not go away, it is better to see a dermatologist for a thorough examination and treatment.

Hi doctor, I'm experiencing severe itching and redness and would like to know the cause and medications of any. Please let me know thanks.
Male | 25
You are going through itching and redness, which could be different things. Skin irritants, allergies, insect bites, or eczema are a few of the common causes. To relieve yourself, use mild moisturizers, cold compresses, and over-the-counter antihistamines. If you continue scratching it may cause further irritation, so don't do that. If these signs do not go away or get worse then make a point of visiting a dermatologist.
