Stray cat scratch: Do I need a doctor?

I got lightly scratched by a stray cat. It did draw blood. I made sure to clean ot properly and use anti-bacterial cloth. Do I need to see a doctor or are there any symptoms to be aware of?

Cats can scratch, and it happens. You've cleaned it properly, which is great. However, keep an eye out for signs of infection, like redness, swelling, warmth, or increasing pain near the scratch. If you notice any of these, see a doctor right away.

i am 32 year old female i have black heads problem in last 3 months and some black ots on hand and legs

Female | 32

Blackheads are small bumps that form when hair follicles get blocked by dead skin cells and excess oil. This can happen due to excess sebum, hormonal changes, or improper skin care. To reduce blackheads, use a gentle exfoliating scrub and a non-comedogenic moisturizer. Always clean your skin well to avoid irritation and prevent the urge to squeeze blackheads.

I have a sensitive skin and an oily face. The products I use always give me skin problems like skin rashes, dark spots and pigmentation. I have a hot caramel skin. I want to know the best products for my skin

Female | 18

You may have some skin issues that can be tough to deal with. If your skin is sensitive and oily, try using mild products without perfumes. Possibly, dark spots, skin rashes and pigmentation could occur due to irritation caused by harsh components in the product you are using. Go for products labeled as non-comedogenic so that they do not block the pores on your face. Also, look for ingredients like niacinamide or hyaluronic acid that will help calm down and moisturize your skin. Always do a patch test before applying any new product to prevent unexpected reactions.

Can I take acetaminophen( allergies) and melatonin together or wait?

Female | 27

Taking acetaminophen and melatonin is usually not a problem. It gets rid of headache and also fever. This way you will avoid being affected by the injury for long since it will quicken your sleep. Even so, you should take the right amount of each medicine. If you have any worries or strange feelings it is best to talk to your doctor or pharmacist first.

Hi I am a 35 year old woman , I have very annoying spots all around my behind area and I don't know how to get rid of them.

Female | 35

You might be dealing with a common issue called acne. The back can easily get acne due to things like friction from clothes, sweating, or clogged hair follicles. To treat these spots, keep the area clean and dry, wear loose clothing, and use over-the-counter acne treatments with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid.

Hello dear doctor, I had an accident like 10 days ago, my leg got burnt because it touched the silencer, the burnt area turned completely white, and day after day, it released blood, yellow liquid, and its fresh everyday, its not even healing, im applying ointment called Quench, but it just dries over it and nothing is helping, I can't even walk, I really need help on what to do, should I apply any other ointment? Leave it open? Or what?

Male | 16

It seems that the burn is rather extensive and does not heal well. I would suggest early consultation with a dermatologist or burn specialist. Do not use any more cream and let the wound dry. It is essential to keep the wound well cleaned, dressed and treated. Seek medical help at the earliest.

I'm 14 years old female and i'm having trouble with my hair for the past few weeks or mybe years recently i have slipt ends, hair knots and dandruff and i have wavy and freezy hair and i'm always open to heat and traffic jam so mybe because of that my hair is damaged but i want to add more volume and shinny in my hair please suggest me that what can i do? Is the cureskin product trustable?

Female | 14

These problems may be caused by factors such as heat exposure, traffic pollution, and using the wrong hair products. To improve the volume and shine of your hair, use a nourishing shampoo and conditioner, limit heat styling, and detangle your hair gently. Consider including hair masks or serums to provide your hair with extra nutrients. As for Cureskin products, it would be best to do some research and read user reviews to determine if they are effective. If you remember to use gentle products and treatments on your hair, you will improve both its health and appearance over time.
