Patient's Query

My belly button piercing ball has went inside of the hole and my skin has closed up around this, leaving the ball stuck inside my skin. My piercing has been infected for some time now but only today i noticed went inside the hole and the skin has closed up. Should i call 111

Answered by Dr. Anju Methil

You must have a private consultation with a dermatologist or a piercing specialist today. The outcome of piercing-related problems can be life-threatening because the more time you are leaving the infection untreated, the worse it will become.

Hi Muskan... Firstly, please stop using any chemical creams or other treatments as they can prove harmful for your skin. Instead, try going for moisturizers to keep your skin hydrated and use natural ingredients like honey, turmeric etc. to lighten your skin. I also advise you to apply sunscreen when going out. Also, please follow a healthy lifestyle to keep your skin healthy and protected. I hope this answer proved helpful.

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.

Can stress cause bruising

Female | 23

Worry does not leave marks on your skin. Howe­ver, it may cause restle­ssness. Restless pe­ople sometimes scratch or bump into obje­cts. This can result in bruises forming. Fee­ling tense weake­ns your body's defenses. A we­akened immune syste­m makes bruising more likely. To pre­vent stress-relate­d bruising, you should find ways to relax. Try calming activities, exe­rcising regularly, and eating nutritious foods.

acutally i have pimples and the dark sports made by pimple so how can i reduce it and make skin glow

Female | 16

Pimples and dark spots are very common and trouble a lot of people. The oil and bacteria are responsible for the development of pimples on the skin that result in inflammation. If the acne clears, the spots will be left behind. To treat them, use a mild face wash, don't pop your pimples, and use creams that contain retinol or vitamin C. Moreover, for healthy skin wear sunscreen every day.
