Can I get HIV from using friend's derma roller?
I am a 18 year old male. I used my friends derma roller . And now I am anxious if I can get hiv from it although he doesn't have hiv. The roller was disinfected before I used it with spray alcohol.

It is safe to use a friend's derma roller after disinfection if it has been sprayed with alcohol. HIV is a sexual infection; sharing needles is one of the transmitter. A sterilized roller is thus no cause of fear or stress if someone else has got HIV. Such sterilized tools do not risk transmitting HIV.

I have blisters on my perineum for 4 days. No discharge, no bleeding . The pain comes and goes . I have never had this before please assist
Female | 26
Blisters can be due to friction, an allergic reaction, or even a viral infection like herpes. No discharge or bleeding has been reported, therefore, it is more likely that it is not an infection. Keeping the area clean and dry and avoiding tight clothes will be the simplest way to do so. However, it is still better to consult a dermatologist in case the blisters persist or get worse.

I am 21 years old and I have na itchy skin,I googled and saw that it's called hives since when it's itchy and I scratch I'm left with this things I googled called hives,it also comes with lip swell, there's a certain doctor who told me not to use medicine with sulphur and I stop using body lotions but I'm still suffering .what might be the problem and what can you recommend I use to end it.
Female | 21
You might have hives, which can be itchy skin and even swelling on your lips. Hives can be caused by different reasons such as allergies, stress, or infections. It is great that you have completely stopped using sulfur-containing products. Attempt to 'take an over-the-counter antihistamine' like diphenhydramine for help with itching and swelling. Besides, try to understand and avoid what could be the cause of your hives. If the issue persists, it is best to visit a dermatologist.

I am 18 years old l have used many medicines for acne but haven't changed what should I do?
Female | 18
Acne occurs when the pores get clogged with oil and bacteria. Having a bunch of medications and no benefits can be a terrible thing. It is crucial to keep in mind that everyone's skin is unique. Often an easy skincare program using mild products is the right route. Eliminate harsh chemicals and see a dermatologist to provide you with individualized recommendations.

I'm 23 years old female, I have pimple and marks last few years, I used lot of cream but no response, what can I do?
Female | 23
Pimples are caused by clogged hair follicles due to oil and dead skin cells. Stress, hormonal changes, and genetics among many other factors can be brought to action. It is crucial to clean your face twice a day with a mild cleanser and stop pricking at them. Think of applying products with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. Keep it up by hydrating and eating a balanced diet. In case you are still having a problem, it would be good to consult a dermatologist to get some valuable advice.

This could come as a result of high blood sugar, poor blood circulation, or infection. Redness, warmth, swelling, and pus are the signs of infection. In some cases, scars must be treated with special dressings or antibiotics. Help her to control her blood sugar levels and make sure she gets her wound care from her doctor.

I was bitten by a tick a week ago. I got it out s day later when i noticed it but couldn't get its head out. Its starting to itch and looks like a slight rash. Should i be worried or will it go away on it's own?
Female | 35
When ticks bite, it can cause itching, rash, and redness on the skin. If the tick’s head remains in your body, it may result in an infection. To alleviate this, wash the affected area with soap and water then apply an anti-itch cream. Watch out for any signs of infection like increased redness or pain; should you notice any seek medical attention immediately.

Then one day I realised may be I might face any respiratory problem. So that I need you to look into above issue and provide your valuable feedback
Male | 39
Sneezing, itching, and discharging from the nose might be the result of allergic reactions or chronic sinus problems. The inflammation of your nose and sinuses may have led to the symptoms of sneezing, itching, and mucus manufacture. I can suggest that you consult a dermatologist for the appropriate testing, so as to determine the allergens and accordingly, the treatment can be developed to include allergy medications, nasal sprays, immunotherapy, and so on.

I am a 25 year old male and I have small bumps in a small area on the back of my head right above my neck, what can i do to get rid of them
Male | 25
Folliculitis seems likely: infected hair follicles cause small, itchy bumps. Warm compresses soothe irritation. Wash gently using mild soap; never scratch. If bumps persist or worsen, consult a dermatologist promptly. Folliculitis is common but manageable with proper care.

A while back I realized I had a mole in my labia mayora. It’s between 0.4-0.5cm big, oval shaped and one color. I think I’ve had it for months now but since I really started paying attention to it I don’t think it has grown. Should I be concerned?
Female | 23
New moles often appear on the skin, like the labia majora. Watch the mole closely if it changes size, shape, or color. Any changes, itching, bleeding, or pain requires seeing a dermatologist.

Female | 36
The appearance of pigmentation on the face is a result of iron deficiency but not the only case. In case you still have dark spots after microneedling and PRP, make sure you consult a dermatologist. Improving iron status as a part of skin care may add to pigmentation treatment, but the key is not there.

I have developed rashes around my vagina and it’s spreading to my anus area. It’s itching. Please what is the cause and treatment.
Female | 21
You might have a yeast infection. Yeast is the name of the genus of fungi that can cause red, itchy rashes in warm moist body parts like the vagina and anus. Other symptoms may be inflammation, swelling, and a white, clumpy discharge. With this, doctors can give you antifungal creams that you can buy over the counter, but it is essential to see a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis and get the right treatment.

Stretch marks are common and appear when the skin is stretched significantly. They can be purple, red, or silver, depending on how long they’ve been there. Causes include rapid growth, weight changes, and pregnancy. Solutions include using moisturizers, and creams, and maintaining a healthy weight. While they usually fade over time, they may not completely disappear.
