I have a boil I think it have pus coming out but very little but the smell is unpleasant what can I do

Patient's Query

I have a boil I think it have pus coming out but very little but the smell is unpleasant what can I do

Answered by Dr. Anju Methil

A boil with pus and an unpleasant smell likely indicates an infection. Avoid squeezing it, and apply warm compresses to help it drain naturally. Keep the area clean, covered, and wash hands before touching it. If the smell worsens or you feel feverish, consult a dermatologist promptly.

Acne and black spots on the skin can be caused by many factors, like hormonal shifts, oily skin, and genetics. Consulting a dermatologist is crucial for getting the right diagnosis and treatment plan. For glowing skin, one should take certain measures like sun protection, good nutrition, and lifestyle. For personalized advice and treatment, seek a specialist dermatologist.

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?

I have rashes like pimple whole over my body ..what should I do?

Male | 35

You see­m to have eczema, a common skin issue­. It causes itchy red rashes re­sembling pimples eve­rywhere. Things like alle­rgies, dry skin, or stress can trigger e­czema's flare-ups. Gently cle­ansing with fragrance-free products and moisturizing re­gularly may soothe these rashe­s. However, scratching affecte­d areas risks infection, so avoid that.
