Why do my knuckles have inflammation and itchy insect bite?

There is inflammation on my knuckles, with one on my right hand and another on my left hand. I am experiencing pain when touching the affected areas. Despite a month passing, the swelling has not improved. Furthermore, I have an insect bite on one hand that is excessively itchy, red, and painful to touch. The bite is of a significant age.

If the inflammation in your knuckles isn't improving and you're also dealing with an itchy, red, and painful insect bite on one hand, it could be making things worse. Knuckle inflammation can result from conditions like arthritis or skin issues. However, insect bites can cause similar symptoms and may worsen if scratched. To help, keep the affected areas clean, avoid scratching the bite, and use ice packs or over-the-counter medication for relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to see a dermatologist for proper treatment.

I am terrified of taking medication because I fear Steven Johnson syndrome

Female | 27

You are afraid of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome from drugs. It is a rare but serious skin reaction. Symptoms can be flu-like symptoms, a rash, and blisters on the skin. Medicines or infections can cause it. Before starting any new medicine, speak with your doctor if this is something that concerns you. They will be able to help you choose what might work best for you and watch out for signs of trouble.

I got acne on whole face first there is pimple and it convert into mark or acne . Or having white spot ,uneven tone the texture is very bad like hyperpigmentation.

Female | 23

Pimples occur when oil and dead skin cells block hair follicles thus leading to a condition called acne. The marks are usually a result of inflammation in the skin. Instances that can be white spots and not consistent in color are marks of hyperpigmentation. Be gentle to your skin, do not pick your skin, and use products with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide.

I am 20 year old female, My hands got some bumps can say its keratosis pilaris and surface is rough too so what should i do now ? A laser or just a treatment?

Female | 20

This can be treated with either topical creams or laser treatments. Depending on the severity of your condition, it is best to consult a dermatologist to determine the best treatment for you. Laser treatments are often more effective than topical creams, but a bit expensive. Topical creams can be used to reduce the appearance of the bumps but may not completely remove them.

Male | 31

It see­ms there's irritation from your podophyllin treatme­nt on your private parts. The burning and pee­ling skin could indicate a reaction. Stop using it right away. Gently wash the­ area with cool water and mild soap. Put calming aloe ve­ra cream to soothe irritation.

My Grandmother is Bedridden for past 4 years. For past 1 month she is having Bedsores in between the shoulder blades which measures around 5×5 cm. Initially we did dressing and it healed leaving a black scar. But for past 2 days we noticed pus discharge from one edge of the scar with foul smell. Inside the scar it is fluctuant. My questions are :- 1. Do we have to remove the entire scar and do the dressing or through the opening in the edge of the scar irrigating and giving antibiotic wash along with betadine gauze packing in the abscess cavity is enough? 2. To prevent further bed sores which bed is good? Water bed or Air Bed?

Female | 92

As for the wound, it is crucial to clean it well and cover it with antibiotic gauze. This is the way it can be healed. Concerning the prevention of further sores, both water beds and air beds are useful by alleviating the pressure on her skin. Be sure to move her body every so often so that she doesn't get too much pressure in one spot. This will also help to prevent more bedsores.

And one more...am a dark skin one ..did here they are any treatment to increase the shade of my tone ?... slightly

Female | 22

  1. Resistant acne and severe acne not responding to conventional treatments needs the consultation of a qualified dermatologist. Most of the times resistant acne has underlying hormonal imbalance which has to be diagnosed and addressed. Certain conditions like PCOS, insulin resistance, steroid abuse, certain drugs may be cause of severe acne. A dermatogist may advise certain blood investigations, to understand the cause behind acne and may prescribe drugs like Oral contraceptive pills, oral retinoids or antibiotics along with procedural treatment to treat the acne and long term resolution
  2. Genetic tone of skin cannot be changed. However tan or any other acquired skin pigmentation can be improved by topical creams, sunscreens etc. chemical peels, laser toning and other  procedures can help in stubborn pigmentation

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.

There are many causes for hair loss to occur. The usual reasons are stress, a poor diet, and hormonal imbalances. Signs of hair loss are noticing more hair falls than usual or a thinning of the strands. To alleviate hair loss, it is essential to control stress, eat a healthy diet rich in nutrients, and use gentle hair care products.
