How to Treat Painful Thumb Swelling with Pus?

Patient's Query

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

Answered by Dr. Anju Methil

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.

I have recently had scrotum exploration survey 32 hours ago and was wondering how long before it can get wet and would it be okay to smoke cannabis. Also i have been prescribed to take 3 co-amoxiclav a day for 14 days, what other pain killers can i use.

Male | 18

It is suggested that a person waits at least 48 hours after they have explored their scrotum before getting it wet. This is to prevent infections. In addition, one should refrain from smoking marijuana while they are recovering to facilitate healing. If you are still experiencing pain, you could take paracetamol or ibuprofen alongside co-amoxiclav.

Currently I am having fungal infection in thighs, can I do exercises for tomorrow for weight loss current weight is 65 kg with age 17

Male | 17

Fungal infections in are­as like your thighs cause redne­ss, itchiness, and rashes. These­ infections thrive in warm, moist environme­nts. It's crucial to avoid exercises until the­ infection clears up. Sweat can worse­n the condition. To treat it effe­ctively, keep the­ affected area cle­an and dry. Use an antifungal cream as directe­d. Wear loose, breathable­ clothing. Once the infection re­solves completely, you can re­sume exercise­s for weight loss without concerns.

I am 21 years old and I have severe dandruff and itchy scalp . I used many anti dandruff shampoos but no use.

Male | 21

A common cause of dandruff is yeast which lives on everybody’s skin. Sometimes, if you’re using certain shampoos and they’re not working it’s possibly because your scalp needs something else. Try shampoo with an ingredient such as ketoconazole or salicylic acid in it and be sure to massage this into your head. Doing so should help decrease both the amount of flakes produced by the dandruff and also provide relief from irritation caused by dryness.

I have a rash on my armpits and on both but it mainly itches on my left armpit and I’ve tried putting on antibiotics cream and Benadryl cream and it still itches and not getting better I haven’t been putting on deodorant either because of it

Female | 33

It seems to be a fungal infection in your left armpit. I suggest you see a dermatologist to look into the rash, and get a medication accordingly. Deodorant should also be avoided as it might make the situation worse.

As asked earlier that can I exercise if having fungal infection, but now my q is after 1 month of medication my fungal infection is recovered, but due to long use of medicines , stretch marks are visible so now can I exercise..?

Male | 17

It is usual for scars to show up when you are on medication for a long time. Now that the infection is gone, you can begin working out, but you need to take it easy. Stretch marks usually disappear on their own, but applying moisturizer to your skin can help. Always keep in mind that it is your body that will determine the limits, and in case of any pain or discomfort, stop.
