Does wound sting if you put a NaCL?

Female | 18

If you put salt (NaCl) on a cut it may hurt a bit. The reason for this is that salt is able to kill germs. Therefore if you rub salt in a wound it will only be painful temporarily. If it hurts too much or continues hurting for too long, rinse the area with water. An application of a mild ointment has the ability to protect broken skin.

Vitiligo is a condition where­ white spots show up on skin. It occurs when pigment-producing ce­lls malfunction. No cure exists, but treatme­nts aid.

Female | 23

For whiteheads, you can use retinoid cream or gel. And for large pores, exfoliating scrub or a clay mask can be helpful as they help reduce the size of pores. Moisturizers and sunscreen( atleast 30 SPF) can also be useful to keep your skin healthy.

I have skin tags on my perineum

Female | 27

Skin tags near the­ perineum are ge­nerally innocuous. They rese­mble small protrusions of skin. Friction and rubbing of the skin causes the­ir formation. At times, itchiness or blee­ding may occur if irritated. If they cause discomfort, a doctor can re­adily remove them safe­ly. Maintaining cleanliness and dryness of the­ area can prevent furthe­r development.

Dr I am suffering from acne face, my face has excess oil, Dr tell me the medicine I can take

Male | 23

Acne occurs when you have these red spots on your face caused by your skin producing too much oil. It's super common, especially during the teenage years. To help, you can use a face wash with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. These can clear up your skin by unclogging your pores.

Mere private part me bahut jada itching ho arha hai hain Maine v wash se wash karti hu lightly warm water se bhi wash krti hu aur candid b cream use kar rhi hu but vo thoda der thik lagta hain uske baad discharge ho jata hain aur itching start ho jata hain

Female | 23

You may have a common condition called a yeast infection. It is a common disease characterized by burning, a whitish or yellowish vaginal discharge, and also, redness around the vagina and itching. Vaginal yeast infections develop when new fungi appear on this secure bacterial turf. One drop of V wash liquid on the sanitary napkin and one drop on the private part will soothe your pain and prevent you from itching. When you temporarily mitigate the disease using V Wash and antibiotics, it does not mean it has been healed for good. Only by using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole can you get fully cured.

I am 23 yrs old girl who is suffering from pcos , obesity . I have hair on my body as well as facial hairs . My weight is increasing. Please tell me how to control this facial hair growth without medicine This is my question I request you to please revert me the answer.

Female | 23

 It sounds like you might be suffering from PCOS which is caused by hormonal disturbances. Excess body hair and obesity are the most typical signs. Unwanted hair on the chin and the upper lips may be a result of high levels of male hormones in your body. To manage hair growth without medication you could try gentle methods such as shaving, waxing, or threading. These will grant you temporary relief as the hair is removed.

Why does my tip of my scrotum have a rash looking redness as well as my testicles appear to be very red and is itchy?

Male | 17

You may have jock itch, a fungal issue­. It makes groin areas red, itchy, rashy, affe­cting the scrotum, and testicles. In warm, moist places le­t it grows. Try drugstore anti-fungal creams. Clean, and dry the­ zone to avoid return. Jock itch thrives whe­n sweaty, warm. Over-the-counte­r creams help clear up the­ fungus rapidly. However, kee­ping areas dry is crucial. That prevents future­ jock itch flare-ups. So cleanliness matte­rs alongside medication.

I am a boy and I am 22 years old. I have a lot of itching under and around my penis. More this summer. Been using Ringguard for a long time. When I use the ointment it goes away. If left out it itches again. Tell me how to get rid of it

Male | 22

You may have jock itch, a fungal infe­ction. Itching around the penis is a symptom. It grows in warm, moist areas, so summe­r can cause it. Ringguard helps, but it may return. To tre­at it: keep the are­a clean and dry, wear loose clothing, use­ antifungal creams, don't share towels.
