Am I at risk of Steven Johnson syndrome?

Patient's Query

I am terrified of taking medication because I fear Steven Johnson syndrome

Answered by Dr. Archit Aggarwal

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.

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

Female | 27

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.

Male | 18

Your skin might be affected by acanthosis nigricans which is identified by dark patches, even on the throat and joints. Being overweight and having high blood pressure are risk factors for this. The treatment is to lose weight and control the BP, as a result, the patches can be healed. Follow a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and be consistent with your prescribed medications to control your blood pressure.

Male 52..lately i have this sour and white toungue..scrap it off..it gone..but will come back again..im a smoker and drinker..what causes this..is it alcohol or smoking or caffiene

Male | 52

It appears that you are experiencing symptoms of oral thrush, a condition that causes your tongue to be covered in white. Smoking is one of the major causes of this disease, and so is drinking alcohol or having a weak immune system. The most effective way to deal with it is to reduce smoking and alcohol intake, as well as maintain good oral hygiene. Additionally, drinking more water can also help.

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?

Male | 3

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.
