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.

Me and my girlfriend had sex yesterday and now she feels itching during urination. She has a very dry skin.
Female | 24
It seems that your partner has got a urinary tract infection. Sometimes this happens after having sex. It can give a feeling of itchiness and uneasiness when peeing. The problem can even be worse if the skin is dry. Ensure she takes a lot of water to flush out the bacteria. Wearing loose cotton underwear and using a warm pad can help reduce the discomfort. She should visit a urologist.

I am 21 years old and I had dark spot on my face so I used this cream light up which now peeled up my skin and I don’t know what else I can do now
Male | 21
The dark spot on your face might have been due to excessive melanin, which the cream is reported to be a lightener of. Nevertheless, it appears it was too strong for your skin to bear. At that moment, first of all, it is critical to discontinue the use of the cream. To renew your skin, you can rub a mild cream and shield your skin from the sun. Allow your skin to rest for a while before introducing new products again. Should the peeling go on or other worrying symptoms appear, it will be best for you to get counseling from a dermatologist.

Have a toe infection from biting my nail, tried soaking it in warm water for a few minutes and no soloution. It turned from darkish red to pink in about a week. What should u do to remove the infection
Male | 14
Infections can occur when germs enter the skin through a cut or bite. Symptoms that your toe is infected include redness, swelling, warmth, and pain. To treat it, try soaking your toe in warm soapy water for 15 minutes 3-4 times a day. This will help clean the area and reduce swelling. Keep your toe clean and dry, and don’t squeeze or pop it. If it doesn’t improve, see a dermatologist for further treatment.

I have dull uneven skin with age spots and pigmentation. How can I completely reduce it and get an even glowing skin?
Female | 46
The process can be caused by sun exposure, aging, or hormonal changes. You can enhance skin conditions using skincare products with retinol, vitamin C, and niacinamide. Don't forget to apply sunscreen daily and don't stay in the sun The use of the same skincare products every day can lead to the expected outcome. If the condition doesn't improve, visit a dermatologist.

Male | 28
You might have contact dermatitis. It happens when something irritates your skin, like a cream or soap. The rashes, pimples on your thighs, and itching could be the cause. The swelling on your penis might be related too. Stop using the cream and gently wash the areas with mild soap and water. Keep it dry, don't scratch. If it doesn't get better, see a dermatologist.

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.

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.

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.

Brown tag bump on stomach
Male | 29
These lumps, also known as skin tags, are quite harmless. Skin tags are little soft fleshy growths that can develop on the skin. Though generally painless, skin tags may sometimes become irritated by clothes or jewelry catching on them. The exact cause for these tags is unknown, but it may be due to friction from rubbing against other areas or hormonal changes during pregnancy or puberty. If you find the skin tag bothersome, do not worry as they can easily be removed through simple procedures done by a dermatologist. Keep an eye on it and if there is anything about its size/color/shape that worries you or is different from what was there before.

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.

There is a chance you are experiencing folliculitis which is a common condition. Folliculitis is a term used to describe a situation when hair follicles become inflamed and infected. Symptoms can consist of red spots, itching, and in some cases pus formation. Friction, sweat, or bacteria are the possible culprits for this. If it doesn't improve, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist for further assistance.

Male | 24
Your spouse likely has a polyp in their nose, a small growth. Allergies, infections, or irritation often trigger these. Difficulty breathing and runny noses can occur. Saline sprays and humidifiers provide relief. For serious cases, a dermatologist may suggest medication or surgery to eliminate the polyp.
