I've got this boil on my back and I tried using a belladonna plaster to draw out the pus, but after two days, there was no pus. Instead, the boil turned a little yellow and got a bit bigger. When I squeezed it, only a tiny bit of blood came out and now there's a small hole in it. Some people here suggested using a paan leaf with deshi ghee. Should I be worried about this? Is it just a regular boil or something else? I'm pretty anxious about it. Could really use some advice.

-It sounds like you're dealing with an infected boil that's not draining properly. Applying the paan leaf and deshi ghee might not be the best option as it can lead to further irritation. I recommend seeing a doctor for proper drainage and treatment, espe

View allI'm dealing with hidradenitis suppurativa in my armpits, buttocks, sides, and pubic area. It all started when I was in Bangalore. Initially, I had these inflamed cysts under my arm that disappeared on their own, but then they reappeared and started draining. I saw a dermatologist in Bangalore for six months, but nothing really improved. I haven't sought any treatment since then, but now I'm searching for a good doctor in Delhi NCR who can help. Any advice or recommendations?
In your case, since the previous treatment did not show improvement, it is important to consult a dermatologist or a specialist in this field. In DelhiNCR, you can consider visiting a dermatologist at a reputed hospital or clinic such as AIIMS or Apollo Hospital. The doctor may prescribe medications like antibiotics (such as Clindamycin) to reduce inflammation and infection, retinoids (such as Isotretinoin) to help prevent new outbreaks, and corticosteroids for severe inflammation. In some cases, surgical intervention may be required to drain abscesses or remove affected tissue. It is important to follow the treatment plan as advised by the doctor for better management of the condition.

Can I use Betnovate-C cream to help with pimples and scars on my oily skin? I'm a bit worried because my skin tends to get really greasy, and I'm not sure if this would help or just make things worse. What would you recommend?
Betnovate is a steroid cream and should not be used for pimples or the marks caused by them

I've got these pimple-like bumps on my scrotum. They don't itch or bleed, but when I saw a dermatologist, he said it's angiokeratoma. He assured me they're harmless and not sexually transmitted. He suggested laser treatment if I wanted to get them removed. I'm curious, does laser actually work to get rid of them? Also, if I go ahead with the laser treatment, will it show up in any medical tests, like when I'm applying for government jobs? Please help me understand what to expect.
Its safe to get laser treatment dne and is not detectable in any tests unless you say the history of such event
