It's understandable to be concerned about your symptoms of swelling due to dengue and chikungunya. These conditions can lead to inflammation, causing discomfort in your extremities. Deflacort can help reduce this swelling, but relying on it continuously isn't a long-term solution. Consider monitoring your symptoms closely and re-evaluating the necessity of this medication with your healthcare provider. It’s important to address the underlying causes and explore other supportive treatments. Please consult your dermatologist to discuss your ongoing symptoms and the best approach to manage your health effectively.

Want best Fever lip blisters ointment. Don't want to eat medicine. I'm pregnant.
Female | 40
If you happen to have a high fever with lip blisters and during pregnancy you can't use medicine, rest easy. These come from a virus mostly. Try petroleum jelly ointments or aloe vera to help in wound healing and to keep the area moist. Also, press a cold pack a couple of times a day. Don't forget to drink lots of water and have enough sleep for the body to strengthen and overpower the virus.

Suffering from acne /pimpleblackhead problem from last 4 year
Female | 17
The prime reason for this is mostly the excess oil production on your skin. Stress, hormonal changes, and the fact that you don't clean your face properly can worsen it. To boost your skin, follow these suggestions: wash your face often with a mild cleanser, keep your hands off your face, and eat a balanced diet.

These can be a form of pigmentation and often improve over time. Using products like Eliteglo cream can help lighten these spots, but it’s best to approach any treatment with care. I suggest consulting a dermatologist before starting any new cream to ensure it’s suitable for your skin type. Meanwhile, protecting your skin from the sun and staying hydrated can also support overall skin health.

I got rashes(may be fungal) on neck(with itchning), leg(no itching rarely itches) and on butt( red bumbs, black and white spots rarely itches) and somewhere in leg and lower back near hair growth it appearance are like black bumps.
Female | 22
The red bumps and itchiness can a fungal infection, particularly when they have various shapes and colors. Fungal infections are quite common in warm, and moist areas, which are the places where they often occur. The use of antifungal creams or powders is an effective way of clearing up these rashes. In addition, keeping the affected areas clean and dry will help to stop the fungus from spreading. If the rashes do not go away or worsen, see a dermatologist for the correct diagnosis and treatment plan.

I m using calamina on her affected are and giving her rigix one dose per day. Please suggest what should i do for her fast recovery plus she has some minor temperature as well
Female | 2
It sounds like your little one may be experiencing an allergic reaction, which can cause skin irritation and rashes in specific areas. While calamine can soothe the skin, it's essential to monitor her temperature and any worsening symptoms. Since you mentioned a history of severe reactions, consulting a pediatrician is important to ensure appropriate treatment and to rule out any underlying issues. They may recommend antihistamines or topical treatments. Meanwhile, keep her skin clean and dry, avoiding any known irritants.

Male | 31
A canker sore might trouble your mouth. They are small, round, and painful sores. Stress, spicy foods, or biting your cheek can cause them. Try over-the-counter rinses or gels to ease pain and speed healing. Soft foods are better; avoid spicy or acidic ones. Give it time - around one or two weeks - and it should disappear on its own.

Treatment for open pores
Female | 26
One of the most frequent concerns facing people is the openness of the pores. Open pores can cause rough and uneven skin. The causes of these pores usually include genetics, oiliness, sunburn, and even old age. One of the ways to decrease the face of open pores is to use salicylic acid or retinoids for day and night skin treatment. Regular cleansing of your face followed by application of sunscreen can also be helpful.

Hi Doctor, I’m 29 years male.. I have little glossy skin on my penis glan.. Can you please suggest me some ointment or tablet to cure it as soon as possible.. Is that any issue?
Male | 29
A shiny look on the penile glans comes from various reasons such as dryness, irritation, or infections. It is important not to treat oneself in case of improper evaluation. I am the first one who would tell you that before getting the proper judgment from a dermatologist you should not rush to conclusions. They are the ones who will give you the treatment that you need, whether it is an ointment or medication. In addition, good cleanliness practices and special fragrant-free material use can lighten the penile problem.

This is normal for your age. Acne happens when oil and dead cells clog hair follicles. This causes pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. Try gentle cleansers, avoid oily products, and don't pick your skin. Wash your face regularly with mild soap. You can also visit a dermatologist.

Experiencing increased hair loss can be concerning, and several factors may contribute to this, including stress, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, and underlying health issues. It's important to monitor any accompanying signs, such as changes in scalp health or overall well-being. To address this, consider maintaining a balanced diet, managing stress, and using gentle hair care products. Vitamin and mineral supplements may also be beneficial. However, it’s wise to consult a dermatologist for a personalized assessment and tailored treatment plan. They can provide specific insights to effectively manage and improve your condition.

You may have hives. Hives are caused when something bothers your body. This something can be food, plant, or dust. When your body dislikes these things, it makes hives. The hives move around your body and come and go. To feel better with hives, stay away from things that bother you. You can take medicine to stop the itching.

Sometimes, people develop irritation or acne in intimate areas after using hair removal products like Veet. This could result from an allergic reaction or sensitive skin. The short hairs left behind might irritate, causing breakouts. Try using a gentle, fragrance-free soap to cleanse the area gently. Avoid Veet and similar products there. If issues persist, consult a dermatologist for guidance.

I applied a lotion in my chest and also in upper legs but unfortunately it also get applied on my scrotum after my scrotum started itching, buring and next day it started peeling
Male | 18
The lotion triggered an irritation in your scrotum area, it seems. Itching, burning sensation, and peeling skin often indicate skin irritation. That delicate region's skin may have reacted adversely to the lotion's ingredients. As a treatment, use lukewarm water and mild soap to gently cleanse the affected area. Avoid applying that lotion there again. However, if symptoms linger, consult a dermatologist promptly.

Hi, I'm having dark spots on hands and legs which are caused by wounds. Please suggest me any cream to get rid off them
Female | 22
It looks like you have a skin problem called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This happens when your skin makes too much color after a cut or bruise. This causes dark spots. To make the dark spots go away, you can use a cream with ingredients like vitamin C, kojic acid, or licorice extract. It may take some time for the spots to fade away. And make sure to stay out of the sun to stop the spots from getting darker. If the problem persists, visit a dermatologist.

Female | 22
Pigmentation-related conditions or dark spots on the face may come up due to different causes. However, the sun, hormonal changes, and skin inflammation commonly constitute the main factors behind it. In the fading of these spots, you might try products containing such ingredients as vitamin C, niacinamide, or retinol. Mela glow cream might be effective, nevertheless, before applying the cream, ask a dermatologist. Never forget to use sunscreen to shield your skin.
