Question 1

I'm getting really worried about the darkening of my underarms. It all started after I began using deodorants, and even though I stopped, they just keep getting darker. I've tried several whitening creams and home remedies, but nothing seems to work. I've switched to using turmeric extract with lime and honey for the past four days. I wax my underarms regularly, and I don't have any medical issues that I know of. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I should try?

Visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management

Question 2

So, I recently got a shave at the barber's, and there was a pimple near my moustache. The razor blade nicked it, and I was bleeding a bit. I saw the barber change the blade, so I'm pretty sure it was new, but I'm still worried. Is there any risk of HIV from this? Could you help me figure out if I should be concerned?

Accepted Answer

no

Question 3

I've been dealing with jock itch for about four months now. I've tried different creams and powders, but nothing seems to work, and it just keeps getting worse. The rash is spreading, and its getting super itchy. I've used clotrimazole and terbinafine but no luck. What should I do? It's really getting uncomfortable.

Accepted Answer

Seems like the jock itch is not responding to the antifungal treatments you have tried. In such cases, oral antifungal medications may be necessary to treat the infection effectively. I recommend taking oral fluconazole along with continuing the topical antifungal creams. Please consult your healthcare provider for the appropriate dosage and duration of treatment. Additionally, keeping the affected area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and avoiding sharing personal items can help prevent further spread of the infection.

I've been taking a tablet that my skin doctor recommended to boost my immunity and help prevent warts. But now, just a couple of days later, I've started getting mouth ulcers. Could the pills be causing this, or is it because of the hot weather? My stomach seems perfectly fine, no issues there.
