And followed by that, boils also start coming near that infection, and now the boils has also started to spread on my right butt.The infected areas itches a lot.i have not used any antifungal cream or medication till now,and that area remains in contact with moisture because I am on my periods.i am not at all comfortable to see a doctor,what medication should I use?

Answered by Dr. Archit Aggarwal

Ringworm and boils can be quite bothersome, especially when they appear in sensitive areas like yours. The moisture from your period can indeed make things worse since fungi thrive in warm, damp environments. To tackle this, you really should see a dermatologist. They can recommend an antifungal cream for the ringworm and possibly antibiotics for the boils. In the meantime, keeping the area clean and dry can help soothe the itching.

I am 27 years. I have a problem with my mouth and tongue. Sometimes. When im stress my tongue will retract. And now, i have lot of canker sore in my mouth and tongue. What should i do to make it heal faster. Thanks

Female | 27

Canker sores are small, painful ulcers that are so troublesome that one can find it hard to speak or eat. Stress can be a possible reason for them as well. To promote healing, try rinsing your mouth with salt water about three times a day. Try to avoid spicy and acidic foods that can aggravate the sores. Regularly brushing your teeth and mouth can also speed up the healing process.

Mere bal kuch hafto se bhot tezi se jhad rhe iski vajh se m bhot presan hu mujhe ye samjh nhi a rha ki esa kyu ho rha

Female | 20

It may be because of hormonal or nutrition deficiency. Did you change anything recently in your diet? You should include protien and iron rich food in your diet. Stress is also a reason of hair loss. . . . Please make sure to take CAREFUL care of your HAIR. It is important to keep them healthy by taking a BALANCED diet and REDUCING stress. If the problem still persists, then it is better to visit a dermatologist.

I want to know the best skincare for a 27 year old lady with dry skin type. I am ready to use sunscreen, oil, peptides, supplements etc. I have been noticing fine lines around my eyes and blackheads near nose.

Female | 27

For fine lines around eyes: We first need to ascertain whether it is a static or a dynamic wrinkle. For static wrinkle, retinol-based creams or serums and polyhydroxy acids creams will do the job. And for Dynamic wrinkle, the only treatment option is Botulinum Toxin(BOTOX) Injections. Black heads, above creams will take care of the problem, if not then lasers might be required.

I am 18-year old female and i have been experiencing throat pain, there’s small oranges bumps on the back of my throat, it hurts to sallow and my throat just looks red and swollen is also small patches on my tonsils.

Female | 18

You could have tonsillitis, a condition in which your tonsils become infected. It may be uneasy for you if your throat is red, swollen, and has small orange bumps and patches. Tonsillitis can be caused by viruses or bacteria. In more detail, the patient should follow the three instructions: drinking a lot of non-alcoholic fluids, sleeping more, and using over-the-counter analgesic medication that your healthcare provider recommended. The practice of gargling warm salty water will definitely sooth the pain as well. By that time the infection has not subsided; it can mean that you should see a physician for more care.

I have acne scars which topical creams are best to use

Male | 24

Topical creams having retinoids, glycolic acid, and vitamin C are quite helpful in fading away the appearance of the scars. Nevertheless, you need to confer with a dermatologist if you are going to opt for a skin cream and the specialist can guide you with a better treatment plan that is unique to your type of skin and the extent of your scars.
