Question 1

I'm dealing with these painful boils near my anus and I'm not sure what kind of cream would help. Are there any specific antibiotics I should be taking for this? I'm really concerned and looking for some advice.

Accepted Answer

Boils near the anus area can be painful and uncomfortable. I'll provide some general guidance, but please consult a doctor or dermatologist for personalized advice.

Causes of Boils

Boils are usually caused by bacterial infections, particularly Staphylococcus aureus. In the anus area, boils can be triggered by:

1. Poor hygiene
2. Tight clothing
3. Sweating
4. Anal sex
5. Weakened immune system

Creams and Ointments

For boils near the anus area, your doctor may recommend:

1. Topical antibiotics: Neosporin, Bacitracin, or Mupirocin cream to combat bacterial infections.
2. Pain-relieving creams: Lidocaine or benzocaine cream to reduce discomfort and pain.
3. Anti-inflammatory creams: Hydrocortisone cream to reduce swelling and inflammation.

Antibiotics

If the boil is severe, large, or doesn't improve with topical treatments, your doctor may prescribe oral antibiotics:

1. Cephalexin: A cephalosporin antibiotic effective against Staphylococcus aureus.
2. Clindamycin: A lincosamide antibiotic that targets Staphylococcus aureus and other bacteria.
3. Amoxicillin-clavulanate: A penicillin-type antibiotic that combines amoxicillin and clavulanate to combat a broad range of bacteria.

Home Remedies

In addition to medical treatments, some home remedies can help alleviate symptoms:

1. Warm compresses: Apply a warm, damp washcloth to the affected area to promote drainage and relieve pain.
2. Good hygiene: Keep the area clean with mild soap and water.
3. Avoid tight clothing: Wear loose, breathable clothing to reduce irritation.

Accepted Answer

Psoriasis is a common, long-term (chronic) disease with no cure. It tends to go through cycles, flaring for a few weeks or months, then subsiding for a while or going into remission. Treatments are available to help you manage symptoms. And you can incorporate lifestyle habits and coping strategies to help you live better with psoriasis

Question 3

I've noticed that I've got these small white spots on my hand, right where the upper and lower skin meet. They've been around for quite some time, and at first, there were only a few, but now I've got a lot more. I'm a bit worried about what might be causing them and if it's something I should be concerned about. Could you shed some light on what's going on?

Accepted Answer

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I'm 19 and I'm kinda worried because I still don't have any facial hair, like a moustache or beard. Could you tell me why this might be happening?

Genetic predisposition, it is normal.
