You should be protected since you've had vaccines for both cat and dog scratches. However, if you're still concerned, it's a good idea to consult your doctor to be safe. In addition to the color and swelling, you might also notice the area around the scratch becoming warmer, which could indicate an infection.

Hi sir, My self prashanth faceing problem fungal infection leg last finger getting tomuch of pain

Male | 37

Hi Prashant. Fungal infection of toe nail is a common in people who are in professions where there feet remain moist or have to wear shoes for long period of time. You need to keep your feet dry. Change socks twice a day. Use powder on feet before putting on socks.

For the fungal infection already there You need a long course of around 6 months of antifungal ointment. As u are having too much pain there may be superinfection by a bacteria. You would also need to use a topical antibiotic ointment for 7-10 days.

Please I've been over sweating this past week, I don't know why. I sweat a lot in sunny conditions, but this time it's soo much worse I don't know why. My height is 5 feet 5 and my weight is 90kg. Please what do you think the problem is?

Female | 22

Hyperhidrosis may be warned by profuse sweating, specially in sunny days. But one must rule out any underlying medical condition such as thyroid or inflammatory disease. I advise you to visit a dermatologist for assessment and diagnosis. They can offer treatments and guidance on the condition’s management.

rashes on balls please help me

Male | 20

There are different reasons why rashes can develop on your testicles. You may also experience itchiness, redness, or small bumps. Profuse sweating, usage of strong detergents, and allergic reactions are common causes of this. Try loose clothing, and gentle soap, and avoid scratching to ease it. In case there is no change after doing these, seek advice from a dermatologist.

I have got few pimples around mouth and on chin.. Few weeks back I had one boil on penis shaft which went away.. After some days there was one more big boil which also went away.. Me and my partner never had any other history or never involved with any other partner before.. We had oral sex and used condoms for other sex.. Not able to understand are these pimples normal due to warm weather or something else?

Male | 30

Summer heat can cause pimples around your mouth and chin. The boils on your penis may be folliculitis — an infection when bacteria enters hair follicles. Cleanliness and dryness help prevent this condition. If pimples persist or you have concerns, see a dermatologist.

I don't have achne but the when I get pimples it leaves a dark spots and also makes my skin dull What would be the Best vitamin c serum?

Female | 28

You need to use a vitamin C serum that can contain up to 10% L-ascorbic acid so that it can help to lighten the spots on the skin and improve its complexion. Regular acne and scarring should be taken by the dermatologist. I suggest obtaining a dermatologist’s opinion.

Hi Doctor, I am suffering from skin itching and rashes in my groin and other private areas from a very long time. Especially in summer the itching intensifies and it's unbearable. Is there a permenante solution or treatment for this in ayurveda. Please help. I can consult with you in video conferencing.

Male | 46

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.

I have private area itching and white patches small bumps ..I using candid b but no result

Male | 29

You may have a yeast infection known as candidiasis. This could cause itching, white patches, and small bumps in private areas. The candid B cream you are using may not be strong enough; try clotrimazole antifungal cream instead. Keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose clothes. Avoid using scented products down there as they can make it worse. If these signs do not improve, seek advice from a dermatologist.

i found lump that I feel on tip of rib bone underneath of my right breast that seems more prominent by raising both arms up to head I have normal weight and small boobs I feel this hardness still from 3 years without any change in size I am 19 years old female is it normal??

Female | 19

Feeling a lump near your rib can alarm you, but often it's harmless. This bump could be where your rib meets cartilage, a costochondral junction. You might notice it more when raising your arms. Unless it grows, causes pain, or triggers other issues, there's typically no cause for concern. However, if changes occur or worries persist, consulting a dermatologist can provide reassurance.

Lump in left side of neck that is tender when pressed on. Been there for 3 weeks. Last 3 to 4 days whole of neck that side and collar bone the same side have been hurting as well.

Female | 20

This happens when your body fights infection. Inflammation is indicated by the tenderness and pain. The pain moving to the collarbone could mean that the infection is spreading. It is important to get checked by a dermatologist so that they can find out what exactly is causing it. They might prescribe antibiotics if it’s because of an infection.

Can I take tetanus injection 4 days after a minor surface scratch on a finger without blood coming out. There's a little redness and pain. I continuously applied handwash and a common antiseptic cream 2-3 times daily since the injury. Now can I take tetanus injection today or am I good?

Male | 26

Cleaning a scratch often with soap and cream is smart. Small cuts can allow tetanus germs inside. Tetanus makes muscles tight and jerky - dangerous. If injured, take the tetanus shot within one to three days. Since it's been four days and your scratch is red and hurts, get the shot today to be secure. That shields you from risks.

I am a 24 years boy and I have acne type skin issue first time

Male | 24

Don’t worry, lots of people get acne. Signs of acne include red spots, blackheads, and whiteheads on your face. Things that might cause it are hormones, greasy skin, and bacteria. You can try washing your face gently twice a day with a soapless cleanser, not touching zits, and using only oil-free products. If this bothers you then maybe talk to a dermatologist.

Pls my daughter has this swell on the thumb with pus in it ,very painful Pls what medication should I get for her ??

Female | 10

It might be a infection that can be sometimes caused by bacterias or other microorganism. In my view, you need to see a dermatologist. They may prescribe antibiotics or tell you to open and wash a puss from the swelling. Next steps include making sure the area is kept clean and covered which can slow down the spread of the infection.

Hi I am a 35 year old woman , I have very annoying spots all around my behind area and I don't know how to get rid of them.

Female | 35

You might be dealing with a common issue called acne. The back can easily get acne due to things like friction from clothes, sweating, or clogged hair follicles. To treat these spots, keep the area clean and dry, wear loose clothing, and use over-the-counter acne treatments with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid.

Had a cream that I used, I got home and started using my family cream which gives me reddish small bumps, they said it’s an allergy, I stopped and started using my cream, but the reddish bumps still showing for like a week now , what’s happening. I’m noticing new reddish bumps too.

Male | 28

Skin reactions are possible after using products. Allergies often lead to reddish bumps appearing. Even when stopping the cream's use, bumps can linger. Keep your skin moisturized and clean during this time. If symptoms persist or worsen, consulting a dermatologist provides valuable guidance.
