Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

It's understandable to feel uncertain about a dog bite, especially if it's not confirmed. Sometimes even a scratch or a minor injury can feel like a bite. Street dogs are usually harmless, and if the dog seems healthy and normal, the risk is lower. Since you had a rabies vaccine recently, your protection is quite good. However, it's always best to be cautious. I'd recommend cleaning the area well, keeping an eye on it for any signs of infection like redness or swelling, and if you notice anything unusual, do visit a physician just to be safe.

Goeiedag, het is begrijpelijk dat je je zorgen maakt over een verandering in je huid. Een witte vlek op de eikel kan verschillende oorzaken hebben, zoals een schimmelinfectie, vitiligo of andere huidcondities. Dit kan normaal zijn, maar het is belangrijk om het te laten onderzoeken door een professional. Een arts kan een juiste diagnose stellen en mogelijke behandelingen aanbevelen. Probeer je niet te veel druk te maken; veel mensen ervaren vergelijkbare problemen. Maak gerust een afspraak om het te laten controleren; goede zorg is cruciaal voor je gemoedsrust en gezondheid.

It's been 2-3 days since I had sex using a condom. There has been an itchy rash on my penis that has been getting bigger for a long time. I have applied antiseptic boroplus on it.

Male | 19

Itchy rashes on the genital area can arise from various causes, including allergies, irritation, or infections. The fact that it's increasing in size is important to note. While antiseptics may provide some relief, it's crucial to avoid self-treating for an extended period without professional guidance. I recommend scheduling an appointment with a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation. They can determine the exact cause and suggest appropriate treatment. Early intervention can help prevent further issues and promote healing. Remember, seeking help is a positive step toward your health and well-being.

Hello Sir! Around last two years, i am experiencing experiencing excessive sweating on my body as well as face. Few months ago, i checked up for thyroid test that was normal. Further my blood pressure was checked up which was 130/76. How can it be reduced to normal conditions?

Male | 23

Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, on the other hand, can arise from a large number of causes like anxiety, hormonal fluctuations even certain medications. Your thyroid and blood pressure readings are normal so we should move on to other causes like stress or diet. Keep your body cool, use breathable fabrics, and don't forget about relaxation techniques like deep breathing or yoga, and you will reduce sweating. If it gets worse, you should talk to the doctor about it first.

I am 30 years old and i have a problem of hair fall last 2 Month .

Male | 30

Hair loss can be due to several factors such as stress, unhealthy diet, or hormone variations. It's normal for humans to shed up to 100 strands of hair daily. But if it's a lot more than usual, you might notice bald spots or thinner hair. Eating well, calming your mind, and using hair products that are not too harsh may help to prevent hair loss.

i swallowed a pill and it feels weird i need help

Female | 18

Maybe a pill gets stuck in your throat or perhaps irritates your stomach. These can cause you to feel like there's something stuck in your throat, your chest may hurt, or your stomach may be in pain. To make the pill stay off the surface, try to take it with water. If the pain is not relieved or gets worse, it is important to visit a doctor who will give you prompt advice.

I'm a 19 year old girl. Recently, due to personal problems and mental trauma, I cut my hands with a blade. But the cut was not deep. It's been 5-6 months and the spots are still there. I apply Azelaic Acid since few weeks, but the spots are still there. It is not like scarred scar, it just makes my skin black. Please help me to fade these dark spots, as now I feel embarassed. Please.

Female | 19

These dark spots are known as hyperpigmentation administered after skin injury therapy. This is a natural condition that occurs after any injury to the skin, such as a cut or a scrape. Azelaic Acid is a very suitable solution, but, likely, you will not see impressive outcomes soon. Vitamin C serum and products with niacinamide are also good for you. Always remember to protect your skin from the sun with sunscreen.
