It appears you might have a severe sunburn, exhibiting signs of sun poisoning. When you experience an intense sunburn, sun poisoning can occur. Fever, chills, vomiting, and severe discomfort are symptoms. Ensure adequate hydration, cool your skin with compresses and take pain relievers if necessary. Seek shade and avoid sun exposure until you recover. If the problem persists, visit a dermatologist.

The ulcer on your leg has an open wound without a new skin layer. Poor circulation or infection may cause this issue. An uncovered ulcer risks infection and slower healing. Keep the area clean by following a dermatologist's orders for ointments and bandages.

This could indicate an injury, like something heavy dropped on your toe. Or, it might mean a fungal infection has taken hold. Keep watching the affected nail carefully in case symptoms worsen. If pain increases, discoloration spreads, or other nails become involved, see a dermatologist.

Syringomas can form tiny bumps around eyes. They normally don't cause trouble. Certain face creams with retinoids might fix them a bit. Medicine like isotretinoin can help too. However, these don't always remove syringomas fully. For better removal, procedures like lasers or minor surgery could work instead. You can contact a dermatologist for that.

Losing extra weight is key to slimming your face. You should eat nutritious foods and work out frequently. Reduce unhealthy foods high in fat or sugar. Make exercise a daily habit. Dry skin can lead to irritated rashes, appearing red, rough, and itchy. Your skin lacks moisture, causing this issue. Use moisturizer daily. You can also visit a dermatologist.

An infection seems likely in your thumb. Swelling, thick yellow skin, and soreness are symptoms. Cuts or scrapes allowing bacteria entry can cause this. As treatment, gently cleanse with soap and water. Apply antibiotic ointment, then bandage. Consult a dermatologist if no improvement occurs.

A stubborn fungal infection seems troublesome. Ringworm triggers red, itchy, scaly skin patches. Defeating it proves difficult sometimes. One way: antifungal meds like Terbinafine or Clotrimazole, used consistently over weeks. Keep affected areas clean and dry. Don't share personal items. With persisting infection, dermatologists can suggest other treatments.

Cysts can make the area swell, feel tender, and look red. They may occur due to blocked oil glands or hair follicles. Don't touch or squeeze it. Using warm compresses helps ease swelling. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a dermatologist.

Herpes on the lips are called cold sores. They're caused by the herpes simplex virus. This virus spreads through close contact or shared objects like cups and straws. Getting it from the rave is unlikely since the virus doesn't live long outside the body. Taking Aciclovir tablets and using the cream is a great approach! These medications help make the outbreak less severe and shorter. Don't touch or pick at the sores to prevent spreading the virus more. Visit a dermatologist or general physician for further consultation.

Your son may have a skin issue called "dermatographia," meaning, "skin writing." When pressure touches the skin, red lines appear. It's not severe and commonly disappears by itself. Perhaps he laid on something leaving a mark. If it disturbs him, or worsens, consulting a dermatologist would be wise.

Sometimes, people develop irritation or acne in intimate areas after using hair removal products like Veet. This could result from an allergic reaction or sensitive skin. The short hairs left behind might irritate, causing breakouts. Try using a gentle, fragrance-free soap to cleanse the area gently. Avoid Veet and similar products there. If issues persist, consult a dermatologist for guidance.

An old sore and a new one on the genital area may be part of the same outbreak. It is strongly advised that you get a dermatologist’s or a sexually transmitted infections specialist’s opinion for a proper diagnosis. They could evaluate your situation and see if Aciclovir is still a good therapeutic option or not.
