Wearing Acrylic Nails for Tonsillectomy
Can you wear acrylics nails for a tonsillectomy
Dr. Anju Methil
Cosmetologist
Answered on 2nd Aug '24
Acrylic nails aren't recommended before tonsillectomy surgery. Those fake nails could harbor germs, making hand hygiene tricky. During tonsillectomy, doctors remove tonsils, often due to infections or breathing issues. Clean hands prevent surgical site infections, so natural nails are only for this procedure. Wait until you've recovered fully before getting acrylics again.

Answered on 2nd Aug '24
Herpes is a common virus. It causes itchy, painful sores. These blisters often appear around your mouth or private parts. You can get it through close contact. Herpes may seem bad, but doctors can give you antiviral medicine. Using protection during sex helps prevent spreading it too. Good hygiene habits are also key.

Hives seem to be your issue. Red, itchy spots appear on skin when histamine is released. This can happen due to allergies, stress, or infections. For relief, use antihistamines and apply cool compresses. But if hives continue, see a dermatologist.

That redness on your nose might be leftover swelling. Don't worry though, with some gentle TLC, it should fade. Be sure to moisturize and use mild products. Staying out of harsh sunlight (and SPF!) will also keep discoloration away. It may take time, but your skin will heal.

Red rash on scrotum and testicles: causes and remedies
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?
Dr. Deepak Jakhar
Dermatologist
Answered on 2nd Aug '24
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.

How can I remove black spots on my face?
hwo to removr black spot on face
Dr. Ishmeet Kaur
Dermatologist
Answered on 2nd Aug '24
Black spots on the face are often a result of sun exposure, hormonal changes, or skin inflammation. They tend to form as flat areas that are darker than the surrounding skin. To remove these spots, you may opt to use over-the-counter creams containing retinol or hydroquinone, among other things. Moreover, it is also necessary to keep your skin safe from the sun's rays by applying sunscreen to it daily. If the spots persist or you have concerns, seeing a dermatologist is the best option for further evaluation and treatment.

Dr. Archit Aggarwal

It appears to be a skin tag or a cyst, which sometimes are quite normal and usually harmless. Skin tags are small, soft growths that can appear on the skin, while cysts are fluid-filled lumps. Nevertheless, have a dermatologist check it out to be secure. Usually, the doctor can get it removed by a simple procedure.

Itchy, rashy skin down there is no fun, especially in the heat. This could be jock itch - a fungal thing. Nature's remedies like neem, turmeric, and aloe may help. Stay away from tight clothes. Keep the area dry and airy. Eat healthy foods.

What's the Best Vitiligo Treatment for Kids Under 5?
Which treatment is best for vitiligo in children below 5 years, homeopathy, ayurveda, or allopathy? What treatment is given to kids for focal vitiligo above lips?
Dr. Deepak Jakhar
Dermatologist
Answered on 1st Aug '24
The best treatment for vitiligo in children below 5 years old would depend on the severity of the condition. Generally, topical corticosteroids are the most commonly used treatment for vitiligo in children, and they are used in combination with other treatments like phototherapy, topical calcineurin inhibitors, and systemic immunomodulators. For focal vitiligo above the lips, the treatment of choice is usually topical corticosteroids. Additionally, topical immunomodulators and phototherapy can be used in combination with topical corticosteroids to improve the effectiveness of the treatment. Homeopathy, ayurveda, and other alternative treatments can be used in conjunction with conventional treatments, but should be discussed with a doctor before starting.

Answered on 1st Aug '24
Chemical peels can be an effective treatment for dark circles. It involves the use of a chemical solution that is applied to the skin in order to remove dead skin cells and stimulate the growth of new, healthy skin cells. This can help to reduce the appearance of dark circles, although it is not a guaranteed solution and may require multiple treatments to achieve the desired results. It is important to consult with your dermatologist before undergoing any chemical peel procedure, as it can carry some serious risks. These risks can include scarring, infection, skin discoloration, and irritation. Additionally, chemical peels can cause lasting damage to the skin if not performed properly. Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions carefully.

Tips to Reduce Facial Blemishes: Expert Advice
I have too many blemishes on my face
Dr. Archit Aggarwal
Trichologist
Answered on 1st Aug '24
Blemishes can be frustrating, yet they're normal and treatable. Spots or tiny bumps on the skin are classified as blemishes. Clogged pores, bacteria, or hormone fluctuations might cause these. Gently cleansing your face regularly helps. Applying benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid products could improve things. However, avoid popping or squeezing blemishes to prevent scars. If the issue persists, consult a dermatologist for guidance.

Severe Scrotum Reaction to Lotion Application
I applied a lotion in my chest and also in upper legs but unfortunately it also get applied on my scrotum after my scrotum started itching, buring and next day it started peeling
Dr. Archit Aggarwal
Trichologist
Answered on 1st Aug '24
The lotion triggered an irritation in your scrotum area, it seems. Itching, burning sensation, and peeling skin often indicate skin irritation. That delicate region's skin may have reacted adversely to the lotion's ingredients. As a treatment, use lukewarm water and mild soap to gently cleanse the affected area. Avoid applying that lotion there again. However, if symptoms linger, consult a dermatologist promptly.

Persistent under thigh rashes: Causes, treatment, and relief

Dr. Anju Methil
Cosmetologist
Answered on 1st Aug '24
You're having rashes under your thighs that won't disappear. The itchiness and rashes could result from skin irritation or fungal infection. Using rash cream didn't help, so you might require prescription cream from a dermatologist. Keep that area clean and dry; wear loose clothes. Don't scratch to avoid more irritation.

Red Whelp on Neck: Causes and Remedies
I have a red whelp on my neck.
Dr. Archit Aggarwal
Trichologist
Answered on 1st Aug '24
A red whelp appears on your neck. Potentially a harmless skin irritation could be from rubbing against something rough. Or, perhaps caused by reacting to a specific product. Sometimes bites from insects or allergies form whelps too. First, try using a cool compress and mild hydrocortisone cream. Avoid scratching, as that may worsen it. However, if symptoms persist beyond a few days, see a dermatologist.
