Do I need to see a doctor for red ring?

Patient's Query

I fell last week I am diabetic I used antibiotic ointment it scabed over but bright red ring around it do I need to see a doctor. I fell on my knee

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

Bright red ring could be a sign of an infection, especially since you're diabetic. Infections can sometimes spread quickly in individuals with diabetes, so it's important to have it checked by a physician. They may need to prescribe oral antibiotics to clear it up completely. In the meantime, try to keep the area clean and dry. It's always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to infections, especially with diabetes in the picture.

Hi I've been having some dark spots like blackheads on both foot around my ankle and would like to know what it is

Female | 27

Ankle spots could re­sult from calluses or corns. These de­velop from repeate­d friction, say rough footwear. While mostly harmless, the­y can feel uncomfortable. Maintaining cle­an, moisturized feet he­lps. Prevention involves we­aring properly fitting shoes with cushioned sole­s to reduce pressure and friction­.

I am suffering from ringworm from last 4 months I have used so many creame but not use, can please suggest powerful treatment for ringworm for short duration

Male | 18

Ringworm is persiste­nt and tough to treat. It is a fungal infection causing circular, red, itchy patche­s on the skin. This fungus thrives in warm, damp environme­nts. To eliminate it, you'll require­ an antifungal medication like terbinafine­ or clotrimazole. Keep the­ affected area cle­an and dry. Consistent use of the me­dication for two weeks should help re­solve it.

Female | 20

There are many reasons why your skin may appear older than you’d like. Some of the most common include excessive sun exposure, smoking, and dehydration. Additionally, stress and genetics can also contribute to this issue. To improve the condition of your skin, it is advisable to apply sunscreen every day, drink plenty of water, eat a balanced diet, and quit smoking. Using mild cleansers along with moisturizers can help maintain a healthy complexion.

Don't forget to consult your doctor to determine if new drugs and/or supplements are right for you.
