What does a black dot under toenail indicate? (Toenail)

Patient's Query

I had toenail torn off now a little black dot on skin toe is painful

Answered by Dr. Anju Methil

It is very common to see these symptoms if you have undergone an episode of toenails being torn off. This is generally due to subungual haematoma. The foot infection can be prevented by visiting a podiatrist or a specialist for treatment.

I had an operation on back side of my head in which the area was infected with an infection called carbuncle and it was cut to remove it and then the skin there regenerated soon, but its 3 years and the hair there hasn't grown yet. the diameter of that are is approx 5cm. Is there any other way to get hair back without hair transplant?

Male | 14

I recommend that you see a dermatologist for this issue. The scar tissue that resulted from the surgery might have injured the hair follicles, thus depriving them of any regrowth. Unfortunately, there is no scientifically based treatment to re-grow hair in scar tissue except by means of a transplant. Some topical treatments may be prescribed by a dermatologist

I have a lot of dark moles like structures on my face and skin, will I be able to remove it permanently. If yes, kindly let me know the method and cost. Thank you :)

Common procedures are laser therapy, excision or cryotherapy depending on the type and size of moles. Based on the methods chosen, number of moles or location can vary dramatically in costs. It is essential to seek advice from a dermatologist or any skincare specialist who could analyze your situation, suggest appropriate options and give an idea of the possible costs. The removal procedure should be carried out by a licensed practitioner to ensure safety and reduce the degree of scarring.

You may have bilateral facial swelling, meaning both sides of your face are swollen. This could be caused by infections, allergies, or dental issues. It's important to see a physician as soon as possible to identify the cause and receive appropriate treatment. In the meantime, you can apply ice packs to reduce the swelling and avoid eating foods high in salt and spices.

Hello My name is simran actually my outer part of vulva area is infected and now it's itching alot

Female | 23

You may have a yeast infection. It can be responsible for such problems as itching, redness, and sometimes a thick discharge. Antibiotics, tight clothing, or a weakened immune system can be blamed for yeast infections. You can buy antifungal creams over-the-counter can ease the itching and help you get rid of the infection. You should be wearing only cotton underwear and avoiding those products with scents to ensure you are not further irritating the area.

Female | 34

It seems like you are going through mastitis which is an infection in the breast tissue. The pus-like discharge is a sign of infection. Mastitis can result from bacteria entering the breast via a cracked nipple or blocked milk duct. It is important to keep on taking any prescribed antibiotics and not to squeeze the breast because it can make the infection worse. Ensure you feed and pump frequently in order to clear the infection. With proper treatment and rest, mastitis can generally be cured within a week.

Female | 21

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.

Hydroquinone for skin lightening

Male | 18

Let me give you the lowdown on hydroquinone: it’s a common ingredient found in skin lightening products. This is because it works by reducing melanin in the skin. So if you have dark spots such as age or sun spots, using hydroquinone could help fade them away. However, don’t forget that you must be cautious not to misuse it since this can cause some undesired effects. As a rule, always follow directions given by the manufacturer when using any cosmetic product and also watch out for any allergic reactions.

I am arpita im 17 years old my skin suffering from dullness nd even skin tone nd not even glow nd hydration

Female | 17

It seems like your skin is not glowing and lacks moisture. These issues may be due to other reasons such as lack of proper hydration, non-use of sunscreen, or dry location. One of the best things to do in this respect is to ensure that your skin takes in enough water, use a good moisturizer that is not too harsh, and eat a healthy diet by including fruits and vegetables. Use sunblock when outdoors to keep your skin protected from the sun. These actions may improve your skin and consequently, you may have radiant skin.
