I went trekking a couple of months ago and ended up getting bitten by a leech. It was attached for just a few minutes and had barely started to suck blood. Now, the wound's healed but there's this tiny bump left that sometimes gets really itchy. Is there anything I can do to deal with this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Its likely that the bump is a residual scar or a reaction to the leech bite. Applying a soothing cream like hydrocortisone or a natural remedy like aloe vera gel may help with the itching. If it persists or causes discomfort, a dermatologist can offer further advice.

View allI'm really confused and a bit worried about whether masturbation is bad for me. Are there any harmful effects I should be aware of? Also, is there any truth to the idea that it could be related to hair fall or developing bald patches? I'd appreciate some clarity on this.
There is no scientific evidence to suggest that masturbation is related to hair fall or the formation of bald patches. Hair loss is usually caused by factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, and certain medical conditions. If you are experiencing hair loss, it is best to consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment.

I'm having some trouble with cracked skin on my penis and it's really painful to touch. It's making sex super uncomfortable and I'm not sure what to do about it. Could this be something serious or is there a way to treat it at home? Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm 21 and dealing with oily skin and a dark brown complexion. I've got pimples, blackhead scars, and these big pores from acne. Right now, I'm using Contimycin, Clinagel, and Garnier Men oil clear face wash. I'm really hoping to get whiter skin and finally get rid of this acne. Do you have any suggestions or advice on what I should try next?
To address your acne concerns and skin tone, consider adding the following to your routine: a salicylic acid-based cleanser, a benzoyl peroxide-based spot treatment, a niacinamide serum for skin brightening, and a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, while consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice and adjusting your current products as needed.
