I'm curious about what happens when you eat milk and milk products along with fish. Can this combo cause skin issues or any other health problems?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Eating milk or milk products with fish is generally safe and does not cause skin diseases or major health issues. The idea of such a combination causing problems is a myth, but if you have specific allergies or sensitivities, it could lead to mild digestive discomfort.

View allI've had this small hole in my leg for about 3 to 4 weeks now, and it just won't heal. I'm genuinely concerned and not sure what steps I should take. Could you give me some advice on how to handle this?
A persistent tiny hole in your leg can be concerning. Here are some possible causes and steps to take: *Possible Causes* 1. *Ingrown hair*: A hair growing back into the skin can cause a small hole. 2. *Folliculitis*: An infected hair follicle can lead to a small hole or crater. 3. *Pimple or abscess*: A small pimple or abscess can cause a hole. 4. *Skin infection*: Bacterial, fungal, or parasitic infections can cause small holes. *Steps to Take* 1. *Keep the area clean*: Wash the affected area with mild soap and lukewarm water. 2. *Apply antibiotic ointment*: Over-the-counter antibiotic ointments can help prevent infection. 3. *Use a warm compress*: Apply a warm, damp washcloth to the area to help bring the hole to a head and encourage healing. 4. *Avoid picking or squeezing*: Resist the temptation to pick or squeeze the hole, as this can lead to further inflammation and scarring.

I've been noticing that my complexion has become really dull and dark recently. I used to have a pretty fair complexion, but ever since I started my weight loss journey and lost about 8 kgs by going to the gym regularly, it's like my skin has been affected negatively. I look pale and dull and have lost that bright glow. Can you suggest anything for this? Oh, and I should mention my skin is oily, prone to acne, and also quite sensitive.
To help improve your skin tone and regain the glow, you can try using a topical cream containing Vitamin C and Niacinamide. These ingredients can help brighten the skin and even out the complexion. Additionally, using a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily can protect your skin from further damage and darkening. For your oily and acne-prone skin, you can use a gentle cleanser containing salicylic acid to help control oil production and prevent breakouts.

I've always had these dark patches on both sides of my scrotum, but the one on the left is bigger. I thought maybe it was because of sweat since I usually sleep on my left side. Recently, though, I've not been bathing as regularly, and with the summer heat, I've been sweating a lot around my groin area. Now those dark patches have spread to my thighs and maybe under the scrotum too, and they're itching really badly. Could this be jock itch? When I wash it, the skin looks a bit red, but it's mostly dark and has a different texture. I've got a couple of concerns. Can tinea cruris get this bad so suddenly? Like, I didnt have any itching a few days ago, and now its spreading super fast. And what about those dark patches from before? Were they just because of sweat, or was it something else? How long do you think it will take to heal if I use over-the-counter clotrimazole?
Probable diagnosis is fungal infection , candid cream for local application, once daily for 2 weeks is advised, also tab levocetrizine 10 mg at bedtime for 7 days is advised, if any allergic reactions dermat opinion is advised.
