Is my belly button piercing infected?

Patient's Query

I think my belly button piercing is infected

Answered by Dr. Archit Aggarwal

If your belly button piercing appears to be infected, the signs may include redness, pain, heat, swelling, or pus discharge. You can get an infection if you fail to clean your piercing well or you touch it with dirty hands. To assist this, gently clean it with saline solution and avoid using harsh products on the area. Also, do not remove any jewelry from inside the piercing until advised otherwise by a professional. Visit a dermatologist if there is no improvement.

I am 22 of age a female, recently I noticed some lumps close to my ass hole

Female | 22

In most cases, these lymph nodes are connected with the infections of the rectal region such as perianal abscess or a hemorrhoid. Symptoms comprise inflammation, aches, painful tingling, and pus if the glandular development becomes infected recently. The most essential actions are hygiene and heat compress usage. Likewise, examining these lumps would help to understand the situation, so if there is no improvement or worsening of this disease, you are advised to hurry to the medical center.

i’m not sure if i have a cold sore or if it’s something else. what do i do??

Female | 17

Usually, cold sores appear as red, swollen bumps on or around your lips. They can hurt a little and may have clear fluid inside them. The virus responsible for cold sores is known as herpes simplex. You could try using over-the-counter creams or ointments to make them heal quicker. Always wash your hands and avoid touching the sore so it doesn't spread.

I have been for four years keratosis pilaris How can I fix the skin problem?

Female | 20

Chicken skin is a condition whe­re your skin feels bumpy, and rough, like­ sandpaper. Keratin buildup blocks hair follicles, causing this. Using mild cle­ansers helps. Moisturize ofte­n. Gentle exfoliation smooths bumps. Lactic acid or ure­a products reduce roughness. It's common but usually improve­s gradually.

The problem of erectile dysfunction may seem concerning but it's curable.. 

your problem of erectile dysfunction most commonly occur in ages of men: fortunately it has high recovery rate of 90% through ayurvedic medications.
I am explaining briefly about erectile dysfunction so that it takes fear out of you.
In erectile dysfunction, men are not able to get or keep an erection that is sufficient to have penetrative sex. This may be due to so many factors like High cholesterol, High blood pressure, Diabetes, excessive masturbation, excessive Porn watching, nerves weakness, Obesity, thyroid, heart problem, alcohol, Tobacco use, Sleep disorders. Low testosterone, tension, stress etc.,
This problem of erectile dysfunction is very much treatable.
I am suggesting you some ayurvedic medicines,
Take Aswagandhadi churan half teaspoon in the morning & in the night.
Take Capsule SHILAJIT One in the morning and one in the night.
Take tablet Brihat Bangeshwar ras one in the morning one and one in the night after food.
All three preferably with hot milk or with water
Also apply and message Shri Gopal tail on your penis three times a week for 2 to 4 minutes.
Avoid junk food, oily and more spicy food, alcohol, tobacco, tension and anxiety.
Start doing brisk walk or running or cardio exercises for at least 1 hour a day.
Start taking hot milk twice a day also two to three dates in the morning and in the night with milk.
Do all the above suggested treatment for 3 months and see the results.
If you don't get satisfactory results then please go to your family doctor or a good sexologist.
You can also contact me on my private chat or directly in my clinic. We can send you the medicines by courier.

Good morning I have acne marks problems ...and I tried many of the oilments home remedies etc ..but I couldn't get any result..there is a black spot on face due to pimple so if you suggest any oilment for it.it might be helpful

Female | 23

If its only acne marks, continuing your acne treatment with facewash and gels will improve it. Some topical agents also helps in removing the pigmentation and marks of the acne. Even Salic acid 20% gel at night on spots is helpful. Glyco 6 or Glycolic acid 6% is recommended for application on the face. Acne compatible sunscreen is also helpful. Chemical Peeling with glycolic acid or salicylic acid is useful
