Allergy can happen when we come in contact with things like certain foods, plants, or animals. Sometimes, this is how our body reacts to things like food, plants, or animals. Take an over-the-counter antihistamine for the time being. Don't scratch the area to prevent a possible infection. If the symptoms either last for a long time or worsen, visit a dermatologist.

Can i get hpv from sharing clothes , towels or my personal items or objects from someone who has genital warts ?

Male | 32

Genital warts are caused by a virus known as HPV. It is impossible to be infected with HPV through the sharing of clothes, towels, or objects of personal hygiene. The most common way for HPV to spread is through skin-to-skin contact, usually during sexual activity. The general symptoms of genital warts are the presence of small, flesh-colored bumps in the genital area. In case you happen to be concerned about HPV then the best thing to do is to talk to a healthcare provider about preventing and treating it.

Hi. I've a question regarding my niece's skin problem. She is a 7-years old. She has developed red patches of skin on her cheek, chin and around nose. The affected area of her cheek is very dry. I brought her to a doctor who prescribed two creams, mezoderm(betamethasone) and gentamicin-akos which made things far worse. Then at the pharmacy I was advised to use ftorokart(also a cream with triamcinolone) for my niece's face. After a few uses of the cream, I've seen some noticeable improvement in her skin condition since she started to use it. It took the redness out of her nose. But she still has rash and blisters on her face. I took photos of her face in case it might be helpful for you to identify the reason for her skin condition. Here are the photos of hers: https://ibb.co/q9t8bSL https://ibb.co/Q8rqcr1 https://ibb.co/JppswZw https://ibb.co/Hd9LPkZ Would you mind helping us to identify what caused this skin condition?

So i was punctured by a small metal and i washed and disinfected it i also got my tetanus shot last year what should i do?

Male | 16

It seems like you’ve done a good job taking care of the metal puncture wound by cleaning and sterilizing it. Because you had a tetanus injection in the past year, you are likely to be immune to tetanus. However, watch for redness, swelling, heat, or pain in the area. If any of these symptoms occur, seek medical attention.

Is there a chance to be caught by Hiv if someone's diabetes needle pricked my hand

Female | 19

The likelihood of HIV infection is negligible if a diabetic needle pricks your hand. HIV is transferred via blood, however, the needle prick is not a high-risk exposure. If you are concerned, watch out for symptoms such as flu, fever, or rash. If you see them, go to a doctor.

I have been feeling pain in both of my breast especially armpits what could it be it ha happened for weeks now , I have no lumps

Female | 20

This type of pain, darling, can occasionally be a result of hormonal variations, like during your menstrual cycle. It could also be wearing too tight clothes or even a sign of muscle strain. In order to treat the pain, you can wear loose clothes, use warm compresses and gentle massage.

Anus haemorrhoids not bleeding only itching

Female | 30

Hemorrhoids cause­ itchiness. They're puffy ve­ins close to the rectum. Along with itching, a pain or bulge­ may form there. Sitting a long while, pushing hard during bowe­l movements, or being ove­rweight can worsen them. For itching re­lief, use soft wipes, take­ warm baths, don't scratch. Always keep that area tidy and arid.

5months ago I got a scratch from a cat and I complete my vaccination by (0.3.7.28) days with TT ( .5ml) and then again few days (14) ago I got a new scratch again , and this cat was also scratch my grandmother 9months ago and she completed her vaccination, what should I do now?

Female | 21

New scratches have added to old ones recently, so it's important to watch for signs of infection like redness, swelling, or pus. Clean the wound with soap and water, and monitor it closely. If you notice any of these symptoms, see a doctor right away.

I have cut marks nd that cutted by knife.. marks are getting more visible day by day, I'm using glycerine but I can't see any effect, I can't visit the doctor cause my parents don't know abt theese cut marks, I wanna cure it naturally at home so please suggest something

Female | 18

It is not unusual for the untreated cut marks to turn into scars. Maybe the diluted glycerine solution will not be sufficient to help. You can consider adding some aloe vera gel to speed up the healing. Ensure the cut area is cleansed and well moisturized to let nature do the rest of the healing.
