Why Won't My Penis Sore Heal After Doxycycline?

Patient's Query

I'm saw a very tiny sore on my penis, and I made enquiries it and I took doxycycline for 14 days as prescribed but the sore hasn't healed I'm worried

Answered by Dr. Madhu Sudan

Sometimes, sores on the genitals can be due to infections like herpes or syphilis, which may require different treatments. I'd recommend seeing a sexologist again for a follow-up. They might need to do some tests to determine the exact cause and provide appropriate treatment. It's essential to take care of your sexual health, so don't hesitate to seek further guidance.

I have sweating glands under eyes. Can that be cured. If yes, how?

Sweating under the eyes is abnormal and may be an indication of such a problem as hyperhidrosis- this can signify something wrong in numerous parts of the body that appear to sweat profusely. Treatment alternatives range from topical antiperspirants, Botox injections, oral treatments to surgery if necessary. It is best to contact a dermatologist who can diagnose your specific condition and advise you on the most suitable treatment. They can give you a detailed assessment to find the root cause of your sweating and create an individual treatment plan that will help them deal with all these symptoms effectively. Remember, key to effective addressing of hyperhidrosis is the correct diagnosis as well as tailored treatment.

Our dog accidently scratch my hands with his teeth but there is no cuts, bleeding or wounds can i get rabies?

Female | 22

If a dog of yours scratches or nips at you and you don't see any signs of bleeding, cuts, or wounds, the risk of rabies is among the lowest. Rabies is mostly an infection through saliva, hence, when there is no open wound, the chances are minimal. Watch out for any strange signs such as a fever, headache, or tingling in the area near the scratch. In the event, you spot something peculiar, it's best to get checked out by a doctor anyway. But for now, you should be just fine. Rinse the wound under running water and lather it with soap to disinfect it.

can doxycycline and ambroxol capsules cure syphilis

Male | 24

Syphilis is an infection passed through sexual contact. It can cause sores, a rash, fever, and damage to the body if not treated properly. Doxycycline and ambroxol capsules won't heal syphilis. Syphilis is treated with certain antibiotics that are prescribed by doctors. It's the right way to get a diagnosis and treatment of complications. Don't let it go on; go to a doctor if you suspect you have syphilis.
