Can Cutting Pubic Hairs Cause Tetanus?
While cutting pubic hairs down there, I have cut myself from scissors. Can this cause tatnus. What should I do?

Answered on 10th June '24
Tetanus disease comes with some toxic dirty cuts that make swallowing very hard as well as stiffness of muscles generally. Such people should ensure the scratch is germs-free by washing it with water and soap and then applying any antiseptic. One should also note that if you have not had any tetanus vaccination within the last ten years, make sure it is done as soon as possible to prevent further infections.

Doctor, my hair falls a lot and breaks. Can you tell me the solution so that my hair starts growing and becomes silky?
Female | 15
This can happen from things such as stress, poor diet, or using harsh hair products. To grow your hair and make it silky again, try eating a well-rounded diet full of fruits and vegetables along with drinking plenty of water. Also, use gentle sulfate-free shampoos, conditioners, and other styling products on your locks.

My baby is 1.8yr old girl...she got fine hairs at her private part and underarms and little facial hair also...it's from birth....her dad also got much hairy skin..is it normal about her
Female | 1
It’s normal for your 1.8-year-old daughter to have fine hair in those areas. It could be because her dad is hairy – sometimes it runs in the family. These hairs are not a problem and do not require any treatment. As she gets older these hairs may become thicker, but that is fine too.

External haemorrhoids without pain . But has some mass that doesn’t itch or makes it any hard for bowel moment .. suggest me some cream
Female | 21
If it is true that you have external hemorrhoids, then it means those swollen blood vessels around your back passage are the ones to blame. They may be harmless, but you feel that a bulging mass. This could be the case as well due to straining when having a bowel movement, pregnancy, or sitting in one position for a long time. To make your pain less severe, you can use the medication for hemorrhoids which you can buy without a prescription, or use ointments such as Preparation H. Spread it out over the affected area as the label says. Don't forget to include high-fiber foods in your diet, drink a lot of water, and try to be active. If the condition continues or worsens, go to a gastroenterologist for a thorough examination and advice.

Male | 36
It sounds like you could be experiencing balanitis, inflammation of the foreskin of the penis, often caused by irritation or a yeast infection. Symptoms may include white pimples, swelling, and itchiness. Keeping the area clean and dry, avoiding irritants, and using over-the-counter antifungal cream can help relieve symptoms. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, it's crucial to seek immediate advice from a dermatologist for detailed assessment and medical treatment.

Female | 18
The small white spot on your cheek might be a problem as it might be a skin disease called pityriasis alba. The list begins with the use of gentle, moisturizing products for dry skin. Check out the products that contain hyaluronic acid and ceramides. Don't forget, always apply sunscreen. In case of any changes or concerns, go to a dermatologist.

I believe I have balanitis, I have redness foreskin, redness on tip of the penis, inflammation, and sensitive
Male | 19
Balanitis is what you are probably suffering from. Balanitis refers to a situation when the foreskin of the penis or its tip becomes red, inflamed, and sensitive. The reasons could be not cleaning the foreskin, irritation due to soaps, or even infections. To assist, guarantee that the area is kept clean and dry, avoid using harsh soaps, and you may need a dermatologist to prescribe medication.

pigmentation problem on my face
Female | 31
This is usually when you have dark or light patches on your skin. Some common factors are sunburn, hormonal changes, and genetics. Improving pigmentation can be achieved by sunscreen, limiting sun exposure, and using skincare products with ingredients like vitamin C or retinol to even out your skin tone.

I have developed rashes around my vagina and it’s spreading to my anus area. It’s itching. Please what is the cause and treatment.
Female | 21
You might have a yeast infection. Yeast is the name of the genus of fungi that can cause red, itchy rashes in warm moist body parts like the vagina and anus. Other symptoms may be inflammation, swelling, and a white, clumpy discharge. With this, doctors can give you antifungal creams that you can buy over the counter, but it is essential to see a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis and get the right treatment.

They are a dark red color and round.. is it a skin infection please help
Female | 42
A rash on your legs seems quite concerning. It might be ringworm, showing circular reddish patches. Ringworm often causes itchiness and burning sensations. Keep affected areas dry and clean. Try antifungal creams from stores, they may help clear it. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, see a dermatologist. Many skin issues are treatable when properly addressed, so there's no need to panic unduly. With proper care, the condition should improve.

I am 30 years old. I had bumbs after shaving. Few weeks later it turned to sore and start spreading around my penis cap. Now I have open wounds and sore on my penis cap but it's not scratching or itching me. It's just there normal but spreading Please I need someone to tell me what to do????????
Male | 30
You may have a skin infection on your penis cap, which can occur after shaving. The bumps which get transformed to open wounds and are spreading could be a sign of a bacterial or fungal infection. Even though it's not itching, it's still important to get it checked by a dermatologist. The medicine might be antibiotics or antifungal cream for it to be better. Make sure you keep the area of the body clean and dry to avoid the further spreading of the infection.

i don't have any symptoms of piles. i don't have pain or bleeding but a small pimple has appeared on my anus hole lining. it's almost 3 days now it's appeared suddenly
Female | 24
The small pimple you mentioned could be a hemorrhoid. Swollen blood vessels are just one of the forms of hemorrhage in the rectum. They can appear suddenly and may not always cause pain or bleeding. The usual suspects are excessive straining during bowel movements and long periods of sitting. I recommend drinking enough water, eating fiber-rich foods, and avoiding straining. If the problem is still there, see a gastroenterologist for the right evaluation and treatment.

It appears like a serious wound infection in your big toe. This case needs to be brought to the attention of a doctor straight away. You may need to see a dermatologist or a podiatrist to get the problem sorted as soon as possible to avoid more complications.

Female | 27
You are afraid of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome from drugs. It is a rare but serious skin reaction. Symptoms can be flu-like symptoms, a rash, and blisters on the skin. Medicines or infections can cause it. Before starting any new medicine, speak with your doctor if this is something that concerns you. They will be able to help you choose what might work best for you and watch out for signs of trouble.

You may have a hernia. This occurs when internals are pushed through a weak part in a muscle. Although there is no pain now, it should be examined by a doctor. They may advise treatment such as an operation to repair the damage and avoid further problems.

I am 27 year old living in ranchi kanke road , having serious problem of dandruff hairfall and my hair color is changing into white even some part of beard as well. Kindly help me with the treatment.
Male | 27
Dandruff in the scalp is due to excess sebum (natural oil) production along with increased activity of a fungus called Malassezia in the scalp. Antifungal shampoos containing Ketoconazole, Ciclopirox, selenium sulphide can help treat the dandruff. If it is severe, oral antifungals are also prescribed for a short duration. Salicylic acid, coal tar shampoos are also prescribed in case of excess flakiness of scalp. Hair fall may be due to dandruff, nutritional deficiencies, stress or due to genetic factors. It is recommended to visit a dermatologist who can diagnose the cause of hairfall and may suggest treatment accordingly. Trichoscopy of the scalp may help in understanding the nature of the scalp and condition. Nutritional supplements, Capixyl containing serum, Minoxidil solution, oral supplements containing vitamin and minerals are prescribed by the dermatologist to treat the hair loss. Change in hair colour in beard and scalp may be due to nutritional deficiencies or strong hair colours or genetic causes. Dermatologist’s help may be needed to treat the same. Calcium pantothenate containing supplements may help slow down the greying and sometimes restore the colour of hair.

Male | 20
The itchy red bumps on your scrotum, buttocks, and thighs could indicate a fungal infection or dermatitis. These areas are prone to such skin issues. While clotrimazole provides temporary relief, the condition keeps recurring. For an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment, consulting a dermatologist is advisable. Meanwhile, maintain hygiene in the affected regions. Avoid scratching to prevent further irritation. Wear loose, breathable clothing to minimize discomfort.

I am 17 year old boy. I am suffering from heavy hair fall. please help me I have long hair
Male | 17
Hair loss is a normal part of aging, but it might need attention if you notice an excessive amount for your age. Significant hair fall can be due to stress, poor nutrition, or an untreated wound. To address this, focus on your diet, manage stress, and choose gentle hair products. Avoid tight hairstyles that pull on your hair. If the condition doesn't improve, consider consulting a dermatologist.

My left leg is wounded by itching and have swelling.
Male | 56
This appears to be an allergic reaction or bug bite on your lower left limb making it itch and swell. When the body’s immune system responds to something it is sensitive to, these are the kinds of responses that occur. To relieve the itching and swelling, try applying a cold pack and taking an antihistamine. If this doesn’t help, you should see a dermatologist for further diagnosis and treatment.
