If you suspect you have a belly button infection, it's important to take appropriate steps.. Clean the area gently with warm water and mild soap. Keep the area dry and avoid excessive moisture.

The red and circular patches that have spread all over your body might be ringworm. This is a fungal infection that requires specific antifungal drugs like Terbinafine or Clotrimazole in many cases. The affected areas should be kept tidy and dry; loose clothes may also be worn.

Treatment for razor bumps in bikini area, have used ketoconazole cream for it but still no result would love the assistance of a dermatologist here to help out with the treatment

Female | 21

Razor bumps in the bikini area are a common cause for concern. Injuries to follicles that occur through shaving are usually behind these bumps. They are typically red, itchy, and with small bumps. When ketoconazole cream does not help, another alternative is the use of a mild hydrocortisone cream that can help to control inflammation. Put on some lotion to the part all the time so it stays moisturized.

Hey, I'm 21 I have a wound and it feels bad. It's infected maybe. What can I do?

Male | 21

You may have a cut that has bacteria in it. Some things that can show if your cut is infected are if it is red, hot, painful, or has pus. Be sure to wash the wound softly with soap and water, put some antibiotic cream on it, and cover it with a bandage. Keep an eye on it and go to a doctor if it gets worse.

Mera hath me hamesha khujli rahati or jalan bhi or lal lal. Or mere face skin me dag h to usse kaise hataai

महिला | 22

These symptoms may occur due to different things such as allergies, eczema, or fungal infections. For itchy hands with redness, it is important to keep the hands clean and moisturized. You can also use gentle soaps and apply soothing lotion. For the face, dark spots can appear less noticeable by using mild exfoliants and moisturizers. Additionally, do not forget to shield your skin from the sun so as not to worsen any damage already done.

I am 28 years old female suffering from the problem of dark circles circles since last 10 years. I have taken a lot of treatments from 15+ doctors but nothing worked, i even tried all home remedies, ayurveda, homeopathy and much more, because of which my skin got burned twice. Moreover my dark circles got even more prominent and stiff. Now i want to head forward towards advance treatments. Doctors are suggesting me to go for chemical peel . Therefore i want a second opinion on whether it will work, how effective it will be and if it will it be safe.

Female | 28

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.

Hello Doctor, I am a 30 year old female and I recently noticed open pores on my face, what should I do? My daily routine is: use himalaya neem face wash, then moisturize skin and I happen to have oily & dull skin. Can you pls suggest what should I do? Thank you!

Female | 30

I would like to start by recommending a daily skincare routine for the problems you are facing. Start with Oil control cleansers with AHA's or BHA's to clear the oil and dirt from your face 2-4 times a day. Use a Vit C serum or day serum in the morning if you are at home and you can add sunscreen on top if you are going to go out and will get exposed to sunlight. Evening, after wash use a toner to neutralize and calm your skin. Before bed, use a coat of moisturizer and additional retinol-based anti-aging serum to finish. If it's a major concern, please contact a dermatologist.

Hi, my mom wore sandals and it cut a little part of the top of her foot skin. It’s like a round circle and you can see the red skin. She has been using different foot medicine like antiseptic spray, rolled gauze bands, vaseline. She has took ibuprofen for pain. What can she do so it heals faster and relief pain?

Female | 60

Your mom likely de­veloped a foot wound from friction with her sandal. Inflame­d red skin indicates irritation. Antiseptic spray application was smart for pre­venting infections. Rolled gauze­ bandages shield the wound are­a. Vaseline kee­ps skin moisturized, promoting healing. Taking ibuprofen re­duces discomfort and swelling. For quicker re­covery, keeping the­ wound clean and dry while avoiding pressure­ on that foot is crucial.
