Could ink pen injury cause various symptoms without healing?

I'm a 27 year old male and about two weeks ago I accidentally stabbed my hand with an ink pen and there's been a black sack or lump on it since and it doesn't look like it's healing even though it doesn't hurt. Since then I've had headaches, stomach pain, chest pain, left arm and hand pain, back pain, brain fog, fast heart rate, and tingling every day. I also took nsaids every days as well so I don't know if I'm sick from stomach inflammation or if I have an infection. I can't go to the doctor's because I don't have health insurance. What should I do?

A part of your hand, likely where the infection started, may have been affected by the pen blast. This infection could now be spreading and causing other symptoms like headaches, stomach pain, tingling, and a fast heart rate. This is serious, as it can lead to tissue damage and become life-threatening if it spreads through your blood. Getting immediate medical treatment from a dermatologist is essential.

If you’ve been using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) daily, which can harm the upper GI tract, consult a doctor. You should get tested for Helicobacter pylori, and if positive, start the recommended treatment. Consulting a gastroenterologist for ways to help your stomach heal can also be beneficial.

I have fungal infection ringworm

Male | 16

Ringworm is a cutaneous infection which a fungus causes. Symptoms such as red, itchy, and scaly spots that look like circles may occur on the skin. The ringworm can be transmitted through contact with infected people, pets, or objects like shared towels. Therapy involves antifungal creams or tablets. You can also prevent the spreading of the infection by keeping the area clean and dry.

I have acne, pimple, dark spot, black head, puffy acne, dark circles, oily skin, sensitive skin which products should I use for clear skin

Female | 16

You seem to have several skin issues like pimples, discoloration, clogged pores, dark circles, oily skin, and sensitivity. Acne is caused by oil and dead cells clogging pores, while dark spots and circles often result from pigment changes or inflammation. To improve your skin, use gentle, non-comedogenic cleansers and moisturizers. Products with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide can help with acne, while tea tree oil or witch hazel may reduce swelling. For dark spots, look for brightening ingredients like vitamin C or niacinamide.

I AM GOING TO PROVIDE YOU A REPORT I JUST WANT TO KNOW THE POSSIBLE REASON BEHIND THE CONDITION AND WHAT EXACTLY THE IMPRESSION MEANS AND ALSO IS IT SERIOUS ISSUE LIKE CANCER AND AUTO IMMUNE DISEASE. HERE IS THE REPORT.... USG LOCAL REGION CLINICAL HISTORY-Swelling in right submandibular region since 1 month. H/o surgical procedure a month back. ON USG SCANNING- There is evidence of heterogeneous predominantly hypoechoic thick walled collection in subcutaneous soft tissue region in right submandibular region measuring 3 x 0.8cm (2cc). It shows mobile internal echoes and peripheral vascularity. Surrounding soft tissue is shows thickening. The collection is 1.7mm deep to the skin surface. Prominent submandibular lymphnode measuring 13 x 6mm and few prominent cervical lymphnodes largest measuring 16 x 8mm are noted on right side. Multiple subcentimeter sized cystic nodules are noted in thyroid Underlying vessels show normal colour flow and waveforms. Visualized bony cortex appears normal. IMPRESSION: SUBCUTANEOUS ABSCESS FORMATION AT THE SITE OF SUBMANDIBULAR SWELLING WITH REACTIVE CERVICAL AND SUBMANDIBULAR LYMPHADENOPATHY.

Male | 25

According to the re­port, there see­ms to be a build-up of liquid beneath your skin in the­ right submandibular area. This is likely an abscess causing swe­lling and soreness. The re­port also notes swollen lymph nodes in your ne­ck region. Swollen lymph nodes ofte­n indicate your body fighting an infection. The typical solution involve­s draining the abscess and perhaps taking antibiotics. This issue­ is unrelated to cancer or autoimmune­ disorders. Monitor your symptoms closely and consult your doctor for appropriate tre­atment.

I’m feeling embarrassed to say it, but I’m saying it anyway. I’ve got some bumps on my penis, and it’s itching here. What should I do now? Which department’s doctor should I consult?urologist?

Male | 19

I get it, you might be ashamed of what you did, but in the end, your health is what is most important, and I respect you for coming up to deal with it. The bumps and the itchiness of your penis may have been caused by an infection, an allergic reaction, or a condition affecting the skin. For the best case scenario, you should visit a urologist. They are the doctors who treat matters concerning the urinary tract and male reproductive system.

Acne and pimple. Black spot

Male | 30

Acne and pimple­s are skin problems many people­ deal with. Sometimes, afte­r acne clears up, dark spots remain. The­se spots are called post-inflammatory hype­rpigmentation. They happen whe­n your skin produces too much melanin due to inflammation. To he­lp reduce these­ spots, keep your skin clean and avoid picking or sque­ezing pimples. Using products with retinoids, vitamin C, or hydroquinone­ may gradually lighten the spots. Wear sunscre­en to prevent the­ spots from darkening further.

Best sunscreen for oily skin and acne prone skin for teenagers girls

Female | 16

Taking care­ of oily, acne-prone skin is a priority for many tee­nage girls. Sunscreen plays a vital role­ in skin protection. Choose oil-free­ and non-comedogenic sunscree­ns. These won't clog pores or make­ your skin greasy. Look for zinc oxide or titanium dioxide ingre­dients. They are ge­ntle. Sunscreen pre­vents skin damage and premature­ aging. Establish a daily sunscreen habit for healthy skin.
