Can Childhood Stitches Reopen While Trekking at Age 19?

Patient's Query

Actually I got stitches in my leg on my childhood and present time I'm 19 years old and I want to go to treking mountain so if any chance to open stitches

Dermatology

Answered by Dr. Anju Methil

If the stitches were from your childhood and the wound healed completely, there’s no risk of them reopening now—the skin and tissues would have fully recovered.
You can safely go trekking, but if you feel pain or notice weakness at the old injury site, consider getting it checked once from dermatologist before your trip. Otherwise, you're good to go!

I have a scabies What it's treatment

Male | 17

Scabies happens when tiny bugs burrow into the skin. They make you itch a lot, mainly during night hours. Red bumps or lines may show up on your body. To treat scabies, you need a special cream/lotion from a dermatologist applied everywhere. Clothes, bed sheets, and towels must be washed in hot water too. This stops mites from spreading further.

I am a 25 year old male and I have a skin condition around my testicles. It has been for over 2 years now. It appears to be a like a patch on the skin around my testicles. I recently got married 3 months ago. About a week ago, my crotch started giving out a pungent smell similar to that of chlorine despite washing it several times a day. Also, I observed small rashes on my scrotum and the skin peels when scratching it. Please I need your help.

Male | 25

You might have a skin condition known as tinea cruris, or jock itch. This is a fungal infection that often affects the groin area. Symptoms include red, itchy patches of skin, a bad smell, and peeling skin. It can be caused by sweating, tight clothing, or poor hygiene. To treat it, it is important to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose clothing, and use antifungal creams.

Mouth ulcer inner side Painfull Since day

Male | 24

Mouth ulcers are very painful and they are usually small painful sores. To ease the discomfort, savoring OTC topical meds and not having spicy and acidic foods can help. Consequently, having good oral hygiene helps in the recovery process. Whenever the ulcer carries on for longer than a couple of weeks, gets worse, or comes with other worrying symptoms, it is advisable to see dermatologist for treatment.

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.

I am 20 years old. I using the steroids cream in long years. I cant stop now. How to stop it?

Female | 20

Long-term use of this steroid cream should be undergone with caution because it may result in some negative effects e.g. skin thinning and/or infections. The use of the cream should be halted gradually. Cutting the dose of the cream immediately may lead to the onset of the withdrawal symptoms. This calls for consulting a dermatologist.

My Grandmother is Bedridden for past 4 years. For past 1 month she is having Bedsores in between the shoulder blades which measures around 5×5 cm. Initially we did dressing and it healed leaving a black scar. But for past 2 days we noticed pus discharge from one edge of the scar with foul smell. Inside the scar it is fluctuant. My questions are :- 1. Do we have to remove the entire scar and do the dressing or through the opening in the edge of the scar irrigating and giving antibiotic wash along with betadine gauze packing in the abscess cavity is enough? 2. To prevent further bed sores which bed is good? Water bed or Air Bed?

Female | 92

As for the wound, it is crucial to clean it well and cover it with antibiotic gauze. This is the way it can be healed. Concerning the prevention of further sores, both water beds and air beds are useful by alleviating the pressure on her skin. Be sure to move her body every so often so that she doesn't get too much pressure in one spot. This will also help to prevent more bedsores.

Female | 33

You may have a condition called eczema. Eczema can cause red, itchy patches with small water-filled blisters, especially on the hands. Switching to a new living environment can sometimes lead to skin reactions. Use a mild moisturizer, avoid harsh soaps, and wear gloves for hand protection. If the rash does not improve, it is important to consult a dermatologist for further assistance.

Female | 27

Some common causes of ear discoloration can be excessive sunlight, hormone modifications, or genetic conditions. It would be wise to have an appointment with the dermatologist so that a careful evaluation and diagnosis can be done. Sunlight exposure and sunscreen should be good enough to give suitable treatment options like topical creams or laser therapy to lighten the pigmentation.

Male | 20

If you have scabies mites that may be in your clothes, you should wash them with hot water. Particularities of using Pyrethrum medicine include dry skin so the cream can make better contact and stay for about 8-14 hours before rinsing off. Camphor-infused coconut oil may help, albeit, it's not the main solution for scabies. Ensure that the prescribed medicines are correctly used along with the usual medicines. As much as possible, always wash clothes in hot water. For more advice, you can consult a dermatologist.
