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

Could I have contracted herpes from a recent rave?

I am a 25 years old female. I suddenly work up and had herpes and this is the first time, I have never had it or known anyone that has. I haven't kissed anyone in 6 months or more. The last places I was at was work which was a rave last Thursday and on Sunday it was a bit calm. Is it possible I got it from the rave cause I can't understand how I have this rash on my lip and my lips are swollen. I am currently taking Aciclovir tablets and using the cream as well.

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.
