Infectiousness of Syphilis with 1:2 Titer Explained
Hello, can someone with syphillis with a 1:2 titer still be infectious?
Dr. Ishmeet Kaur
Dermatologist
Answered on 23rd May '24
Syphilis, even with low levels, remains contagious. It spreads through intimate contact. The bacteria behind syphilis causes sores, rashes, fever, and body pains. But don't worry, antibiotics like penicillin can cure it. However, remember - symptoms disappearing doesn't mean the infection's gone. Getting proper treatment matters. So, be vigilant. If concerned, see a dermatologist now.

Chronic skin infection resembling ringworm needing urgent treatment
Hello I have been having a skin infection of something that looks like ringworm. It starts like a pimple and later widens into different sizes. It started appearing on my thighs and is now appearing on every other part of my body except my face and scalp. There are moments when my skin is void of any but on other periods it appears almost every where with a lot on my fingers and palms. It's been on and off for more than 10 years now. I've consulted several dematologist with each having a different diagnosis and prescribing different creams to be applied on the affected spots but those have not helped me in any way. I truly do not know what else to do. Please help.

Ringworms often spread and return if not treated well. Fungal infections love warm, damp body areas. Antifungal creams don't always work for severe and stubborn infections. I suggest seeing an experienced dermatologist. They can evaluate your unique condition much better and recommend medications or other treatments suitable for this.

Common reasons include infections like folliculitis, herpes, and fungal problems. These arise from shaving, sweating, and lack of hygiene. Ease the discomfort and heal the sores by staying clean, and dry. Also, try wearing loose-fitting clothes. Use over-the-counter creams pharmacists suggest. But if it worsens or won't go away, see a dermatologist. They'll properly diagnose and treat you.

Answered on 23rd May '24
A red spot beneath your toenail indicates subungual hematoma. It must have happened from an injury that caused bleeding under the nail. That red spot is trapped blood. Leave it be if it's painless. Your nail will grow out in months. However, if it really hurts, visit a dermatologist.

Ankle spots could result from calluses or corns. These develop from repeated friction, say rough footwear. While mostly harmless, they can feel uncomfortable. Maintaining clean, moisturized feet helps. Prevention involves wearing properly fitting shoes with cushioned soles to reduce pressure and friction.
