Why is my leg ulcer not healing fast?

Why i am not getting top skin on my leg ulcer

1 Answer

Answered on 23rd May '24

The ulce­r on your leg has an open wound without a new skin laye­r. Poor circulation or infection may cause this issue. An uncove­red ulcer risks infection and slowe­r healing. Keep the­ area clean by following a dermatologist's orders for ointme­nts and bandages.

How to glow my skin and face?

Male | 20

To ensure healthy and shining skin, it is imperative to establish a consistent and appropriate skincare regimen. Use a mild face wash to cleanse; moisturizing regularly, and using sunscreen to safeguard from sunburns are also important. Using a scrub at least once/twice a week or a face mask would be nice. Thus, you remove dead skin cells to renew it

Female | 21

New scratches have added to old ones recently, so it's important to watch for signs of infection like redness, swelling, or pus. Clean the wound with soap and water, and monitor it closely. If you notice any of these symptoms, see a doctor right away.

Itching, redness and sticky dandruff in beard. From last 10+ years. Issue resolve when clomatrizole applied but this time clomatrizole is not working. Want some generic ointment as can't afford expensive treatments.

Male | 35

You are suffering from a long-term problem with your beard itching, redness, and sticky dandruff. A skin condition seborrheic dermatitis may be the cause. Occasionally, the use of antifungal ointments like clotrimazole can be effective, but if this is not the case, you might want to use an ointment with hydrocortisone to decrease inflammation. Remember to wash and dry the area that is affected as this will help with the symptoms.

Hairloss dandruff itching hair growth problem what can I use and what is the solution

Female | Zeenat

Hair loss, dandruff, itching, and hair problems can be associated with one another. Dandruff is a source of itchiness and hair fall. Stress, or not washing hair regularly, or a skin condition may give rise to dandruff. Cure with anti-dandruff shampoos. The itching can be satisfied with the help of gentle washing and using mild products. Hair growth can be boosted by a good diet and hair hygiene.

I have a fungal infection on my skin such as butt and neck. I thought to change my soap, some doctors suggested me to go with Medimix ayurvedic soap. But the problem is neem don't suit my skin, it starts appearing duller than usual. additionally, I do not want much costly soap name but in a normal range. Will you suggest me some soaps?

Female | 22

You could get relieved by itching, red spots, and peeling sometimes. Switching your soap might help, but as neem doesn't work for you, let's find some alternative. Seek for soaps endowed with the elements such as tea tree or coconut oil. There is a chance that these can aid in the combat against the fungus without the risk of your skin looking dehydrated. To add, be cautious enough to rinse thoroughly and pat the skin dry after the application of the soap.

I'm suffering from severe akin problem ,with sever itching and irriation on my legs and it raising to hands also ..Consulted so many doctors there is no solution and there is no improvement looking for suggestion and better treatment

Female | 33

It sounds like you may have eczema, a common skin condition that can cause itching, redness, and irritation. To determine if this is the case, you should see a dermatologist. The dermatologist can recommend an appropriate treatment plan that may include topical medications, light therapy, or oral medications. Additionally, lifestyle changes can help to manage symptoms including avoiding potential triggers, wearing loose fitting clothing, and using a humidifier in your home.

I have ringworm for almost 4 months .some of the ringworm in my inner thighs and now in pubic area too.Some of them under my breast too.applied clotrimazole, terbinafine ointments. But didn't worked.What should I do

Female | 18

It looks like you have bad case of ringworm which did not respond to the OTC medicines. I suggest that as soon as possible you see a dermatologist who specializes in fungal infections. They may give you oral antifungal medicine and topical treatment to improve the result. Seek urgent medical care since untreated ringworm can cause problems.

Hi, i've got a few chickenpox scars on my forehead which i would like to improve. I've heard that since i'm young and can stimulate my collagen production treatsments such as laser and dermapens can improve my scars for a lifetime. Is this true?

Male | 24

Chickenpox cause­s scars sometimes after he­aling the skin. Treatments including lase­r and dermapens help re­duce scars. They stimulate collage­n production in the skin. New collagen improve­s scar appearance. Being young assists scar he­aling through collagen. These tre­atments may be effe­ctive for you due to your age. Howe­ver, results differ from pe­rson to person.

Anus haemorrhoids not bleeding only itching

Female | 30

Hemorrhoids cause­ itchiness. They're puffy ve­ins close to the rectum. Along with itching, a pain or bulge­ may form there. Sitting a long while, pushing hard during bowe­l movements, or being ove­rweight can worsen them. For itching re­lief, use soft wipes, take­ warm baths, don't scratch. Always keep that area tidy and arid.
