Can Skin Infections Affect Ear and Lip Areas?

Skin infection in outside the ear and left out side of lips .

1 Answer

Answered on 1st Nov '24

Skin infections often appear on areas like the skin around the ear and the left side of the lips. You may notice redness, swelling, pain, or flare-ups in these spots. These infections are usually caused by bacteria or fungi. To manage the condition, it’s essential to keep the skin clean and dry. Over-the-counter topical medicines can also be used to self-treat fungal infections. If the infection continues, it is better to get the advice of a dermatologist.

How to remove blade cut mark

Male | 20

To avoid blade cut marks, a new wound should be kept clean and properly covered to minimize scars. When healed, apply scar treatment cream or silicon gel sheets regularly to reduce the appearance of scars. Do not expose the scar to sunlight because the UV rays darken it. For more severe or prominent scars it is necessary to refer them to the dermatologist for professional treatments such as laser therapy and microdermabrasion. For the situations with deep scarring, sometimes a cosmetic revisional surgery might be an option but it is always best to seek advice from a dermatologist on individual basis.

Body pain and a black face could signal ane­mia - not enough red blood cells. Ane­mia makes you tired, pale, and achy. Eating iron-rich foods he­lps: spinach, beans, meat. Drink lots of water, re­st well too. See a doctor if it doe­sn't improve.

I got hurt from a plastic chair and a small piece of my skin came off near my foot..It started bleeding but i didn't notice ..when i saw the wound the blood was already dried up so i cleaned it with water and didn't apply anything on it.. It's been 5 days since the injury and the wound is not healing..i applied some antiseptic cream on it later..it just hurts around that area and some kind of transparent liquid comes out occasionally.. what to do

Male | 19

The transparent liquid you see coming out is likely pus, a sign of infection. Try cleaning the wound daily with mild soap and warm water, then apply an antibiotic ointment. Keep it covered with a bandage to protect it. If it doesn't improve in a couple of days or if you notice increasing redness, swelling, or warmth around the wound, it's best to seek medical help.
