For effective burn treatment, it is highly advised to immerse the injured part in cold water immediately to reduce redness, smoothness, and swelling.

Male | 25

The IgM test result which is less than 0.500 means there are no recent infections. However, the IgG test result of 0.87 indicates a past infection. You might commonly have symptoms such as blisters, pain, and itching. Nevertheless, treatments are available to cope with the symptoms and outbreaks, so, don't hesitate to contact a dermatologist for more help.

Mere hair Growth bhut slow go rhi h usko kase sahi kr sakte h

Male | 27

Slow hair growth is due to reasons such as lack of vitamins, demanding work, or hereditary influences. If you notice that your hair is no longer growing as fast as it used to, you should try eating a balanced diet full of vitamins and minerals, for example, vitamin D and iron. Besides, find some time for yourself to practice relaxation techniques to de-stress.

Hello doctor. I am rohit bisht. I am 18 years old. Please suggest me how to recover and stop hair whitening

Male | 18

Hair going white with age or being genetic is a usual thing. Skin problems and tension also cause this. Do something for yourself if under stress; take deep breaths maybe start doing yoga. Have a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals as they play a crucial role in preventing premature greying. If possible use plant-based dyes because they don’t contain harmful chemicals however; don’t forget to handle your hair gently while dying it so that you may not end up damaging it further.

Try antifungal creams from stores, they may help clear it. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, see a dermatologist.

Urjas oil lagane par jalan hota hai

Male | 36

Feeling a burning sensation after being oiled with Urjas is not unheard of. It could be because your skin is sensitive, or if you have any allergies to the components of the oil causing the reaction. Your skin reacting is a sign. To help with this, immediately cease using the oil, wash the area with a little gentle soap and water, and apply a soothing moisturizer or aloe vera gel. If the sensation persists, switch to a different product.

You may have developed a condition called folliculitis. It happens when hair follicles get inflamed, usually due to friction or bacteria. The red bump on the penis shaft with pain and tenderness can be typical symptoms. For now, you can try warm compresses to help reduce pain and inflammation. Don't touch or squeeze it. If it doesn't improve or worsen, visit a dermatologist.

Your problem is itching in the intimate areas, which can be frustrating. Some of the causes of itching could be a skin condition, such as a fungal infection or an allergic reaction to soap or detergent. Using a gentle soap and wearing loose-fitting clothes might help you deal with the itching. Additionally, you can use a lightweight, fragrance-free lotion to calm the skin.

For three years now, I have been experiencing an itch that comes and goes on the right side of my stomach. A little bit below my breast. It occurs on the same exact spot. There's no rash or skin discolouration. It is not that uncomfortable, like sometimes I don't even need to scratch it. Placing my hand on the spot can provide relief immediately. It can happen anytime, when I feel hot, when I'm lying down, when I'm walking. I haven't yet noticed a particular trigger.
