Why is my leg wound worsening and painful?

Doctor, I have a wound on my leg that started couple of weeks ago. It was small but has grown larger, with redness, peeling skin, and some pain. It feels itchy, painful and has swelling pus, no discharge. I tried home remedy, but it got worse. I don’t have diabetes or allergies.

The symptoms you're experiencing, including increased size, redness, peeling skin, swelling, and discomfort, may indicate an infection or other skin condition. While home remedies can sometimes help, it’s crucial to seek professional evaluation if symptoms worsen. A dermatologist can assess the area, determine the underlying cause, and suggest appropriate treatment, which may include topical ointments or oral medications.

Female | 27

Dealing with acne, dark spots, and dullne­ss can be frustrating. Acne causes pimples. Pigmentation le­ads to unwanted dark patches. Dullness make­s your complexion appear tired, lacking radiance­. To tackle these woe­s, consider skincare with retinol, niacinamide­, and vitamin C. Shielding your skin from sun damage by applying sunscree­n regularly is crucial. Cleanse your face­ diligently, resist picking at blemishe­s, and stay hydrated by drinking ample water.

my face is dark and acne on it

Male | 17

Dark skin patches and acne can occur due to sun exposure, hormonal changes, or clogged pores. To improve your skin, use gentle cleansers, keep your skin moisturized, and avoid harsh products. Drink plenty of water, eat healthy food, and resist picking at acne to prevent scarring. Also, protect your skin from the sun to reduce further darkening.

Iam a 20 year male and i have small white spot side of my throat

Male | 20

It seems you are dealing with tonsillitis, a condition that is identified by the white spots in the tonsils. This often accompanies a viral or a bacterial infection that further causes manifestations like sore throat and difficulties in swallowing. The best way to relieve the symptoms is to drink a lot of fluids, get some rest, and take throat lozenges. If it still doesn't get better, it's a good idea to consult a health care provider for further help.

How do I get rid of purple stretch marks on bum.

Female | 14

Stretch marks on the­ bum are pretty normal. They happe­n when skin expands rapidly, like during pube­rty, pregnancy, or weight gain. Basically, the marks form whe­n deeper laye­rs tear. To reduce the­ir appearance, moisturize re­gularly with retinol or hyaluronic acid products. Proper nutrition and hydration can lend a hand too. Ke­ep in mind, fading takes time, so stick with the­ routine patiently. The marks look purple­ at first, but gradually lighten over months.

Mere chest me dard ho raha hai or eyes me dard ho raha hai or chicks me dard hai

Male | 18

You're feeling the blood in your chest, your eyes are aching, and tenderness in your cheek area. In some instances, chest pain can be caused by heart problems. The reason behind the eye pain can be either the strain or infection. The cause of cheek pain may be a sinus problem. Ensure that you take breaks, consume water, and do not rub your eyes. If the pain persists, medical assistance should be sought to determine the exact cause and receive the appropriate treatment.
