Should I Seek Treatment for Wild Cat Scratch on Neck?

Patient's Query

I have been scratched by a wild non vaccination cat on my neck

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

in situations like this, there's a risk of infection, mainly from bacteria like Pasteurella that cats carry in their mouths and claws. It's essential to clean the wound thoroughly with soap and water, apply an antiseptic, and keep an eye out for any signs of infection like redness, swelling, or pus. You may need to see a doctor for a tetanus shot or antibiotics depending on the severity.

Mere hair Growth bhut slow go rhi h usko kase sahi kr sakte h

Male | 27

Slow hair growth is due to reasons such as lack of vitamins, demanding work, or hereditary influences. If you notice that your hair is no longer growing as fast as it used to, you should try eating a balanced diet full of vitamins and minerals, for example, vitamin D and iron. Besides, find some time for yourself to practice relaxation techniques to de-stress.

Hello sir/ma'am please suggest me any skin cream. I used elosone ht cream over my skin for 3 month, that have affected my skin. And one of my friend told me that i have a skin atrophy. My skin where i use to apply the cream is completely covered with a dark layer. Can you please suggest me any cream so that the affected area can be fade out by time. Please ma'am its a humble request to you. It feels very bad and i cant even go outside due to this.

Female | 18

Using the cream may have caused your skin to become thin and fragile, a condition known as atrophy. The dark layer you see could be a result of this. Try using a gentle moisturizing cream with ingredients like aloe vera or oatmeal to help fade it over time. Avoid strong products and give your skin time to recover. Always do a patch test on new products before applying them to larger areas.

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.

I have developed skin infection. It's white and reddish thick dry scaly itchy skin area.

Male | Shailesh Patel

You might be suffering from a fungal skin infection known as ringworm. Ringworm can turn your skin into white, reddish, thick, dry, and scaly. Apart from that, the skin can get very itchy. Ringworm is a type of fungus that spreads through skin-to-skin contact. To help get rid of ringworm, you can use antifungal cream. However, it would be best if you cleaned and dried the area.

I had severe coughing in the month of December. And lately there is some pain in my lower left breast area. I think its some muscle or vein. The pain is only there when i cough or sneeze or while lying down or if I try to move while lying down. Else there is no pain at all. Im 27 years old and not married. I have never had any kind of pain before. Any suggestions would be helpful..

Female | 27

It sounds like you might be experiencing muscle strain or irritation in the chest area, possibly due to severe coughing. When we cough frequently, it can put strain on the muscles around the ribs. This might explain the pain when you cough, sneeze, or shift positions. I recommend resting and avoiding activities that exacerbate the discomfort. Applying a warm compress may also provide relief. However, since you’re experiencing persistent pain, it’s essential to consult a healthcare professional to rule out any other underlying issues. They can offer a more tailored assessment and treatment plan.

I was bitten by a tick a week ago. I got it out s day later when i noticed it but couldn't get its head out. Its starting to itch and looks like a slight rash. Should i be worried or will it go away on it's own?

Female | 35

When ticks bite, it can cause itching, rash, and redness on the skin. If the tick’s head remains in your body, it may result in an infection. To alleviate this, wash the affected area with soap and water then apply an anti-itch cream. Watch out for any signs of infection like increased redness or pain; should you notice any seek medical attention immediately.

Male | 50

Psoriasis can be a bit challenging to treat but various treatments like medications, laser treatments, alternative treatments like homeopathy etc., avoiding triggers that worsen your psoriasis symptoms can prove useful. I suggest talking to your doctor for proper examination of your condition which will help in deciding which is the best treatment for your condition.
