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.

"Hey, I just noticed that today my blood vessels are a purple color, and when I try to touch them, it doesn't cause any pain only a little bit of sore otherwise im fine. It started today, and I don't feel any symptoms at all. im not on any medication.
Male | 20
Purple blood vessels on the skin can look unusual, but they're usually not a big deal. Increased pressure might make them more noticeable. If there's no pain or other symptoms, it's probably nothing to worry about. Try elevating your legs and avoiding standing for too long. However, if you're concerned, see a dermatologist for treatment.

I have been experiencing itching all over my body. It started months ago after being exposed to someone. I tried treating it with all sorts of medication it doesn't go away.my skin looks dry and last year I was on oratane for period of 7 months
Female | 27
Excessive persistent itching throughout your body can become very irritating. It may worsen due to dry skin especially after a drug like Oratane. Sometimes the cause of itching could be allergies or skin conditions. Make sure to use mild creams that will keep your skin moist and avoid taking hot showers. You may have to see a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

How can I reduce darkness of my private parts
Female | 19
Tight garments, inadequate hygiene, or friction between skin can lead to discoloration there. To lighten the area, maintain cleanliness, wear loose clothing, and use mild soap for washing. However, if concerned or experiencing additional symptoms, consulting a dermatologist is a good option.

I am getting married in August. I have very big open pores. And as my skin is oily, I have some acne also. Will microdermabrasion treatment help clear all these and make the skin surface smooth?
Female | 30
For very big open pores, the oil secretion needs to be controlled, because if oil secretion is not controlled, the pores wont reduce. For oil correction using salicylic acid based face washes, avoiding hair oil are important measures. Apart from that micro-needling or micro-needling radiofrequency, CO2 Laser are better options than just dermabrasion though microdermabrasion might have little effect on open pores.

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.

So about a week ago i was prescribed some antibiotics for my UTI. He also prescribed me fluconazole in case the antibiotics he gave caused a yeast infection. I kinda noticed the antibiotics wasn’t helping bc it was still hurting when i urinate and during sexual intercourse along with it still being red down there and so i took the fluconazole last night and a few before i took it i noticed like 3 red bump like things in the left side crease of my private, i was bit scared of what it might be, i woke up it didn’t look as bad but there was a few more. it has been itching bc of the yeast infect and it hasn’t been itching these past two days but im a little nervous on what the little bumps could be. could it maybe be from the yeast infection or sweat bumps or what
Female | 18
Perhaps you have a yeast infection or a fungal infection in the private area. Yeast infections can cause redness, itching, and sometimes small bumps. These bumps are most likely due to the infection and not sweat bumps. To help this, complete your prescribed fluconazole and ensure the area is clean and dry. Avoid tight clothing and wear cotton underwear. If the symptoms do not go away or get more severe, it’s always good to check with your urologist.

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.

Hi mam! I had been facing a bacterial infection around the gaps of my toes. Yesterday the pus was coming out of it and now it's swollen and painful. I can't walk properly from last 2 weeks because of it. I tried a lot to cure it by soaking my legs in hot water and applying normal moisturizer cream.
Female | 20
It appears like a serious wound infection in your big toe. This case needs to be brought to the attention of a doctor straight away. You may need to see a dermatologist or a podiatrist to get the problem sorted as soon as possible to avoid more complications.

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.

Hi doctor, I'm experiencing severe itching and redness and would like to know the cause and medications of any. Please let me know thanks.
Male | 25
You are going through itching and redness, which could be different things. Skin irritants, allergies, insect bites, or eczema are a few of the common causes. To relieve yourself, use mild moisturizers, cold compresses, and over-the-counter antihistamines. If you continue scratching it may cause further irritation, so don't do that. If these signs do not go away or get worse then make a point of visiting a dermatologist.

Hair loss among teenagers can be caused by different factors such as stress, bad nutrition, or some medical conditions. Do you detect more hair than usual lying on the pillow or in the shower? Start eating a balanced diet, managing your stress, and being gentle with your hair. If it still happens, visit a dermatologist.

Melasma takes months and years to go.

There is peeling of the skin on the nails of the hands and the nails are also melting slightly
Female | 52
Skin peeling around the nails, and sometimes the actual nails can happen if hands are exposed to chemicals or water, frequently. Another possible reason is a lack of vitamins or a skin condition. To address this, just practice these things — avoid chemicals, wear gloves, eat healthy, and keep the skin of the hands moist. You can also consult a dermatologist for further treatments.

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.

I am 29 years old female suffering from ringworm/ bacterial scalp infection. I have consulted family doctor. He suggested flucolab -150 and some other medicine too. I am worried about hair fall and bald patches on skin. Please recommend shampoo to reduce redness and infection
Female | 29
Bacterial infection and ringworm are two different things. Ringworm is fungal infection that presents rings generally over the areas where there is more sweating like thigh area, under the breast or armpit area and that is to be treated by anti-fungal medication for long time like 1-2 months. Bacterial infection is the one which is present with the puss and boils and has to be treated with antibiotics. Fungal infection on the scalp is very uncommon in adults and its only a problem of pre-school children. Proper diagnosis is required for the treatment to work. Consult a dermatologist for the same.
