I've never had bruises like this from a blood draw before, and it's been 4 days now. They started out black and have turned dark brown, with a lot of pain and tenderness, and it seems to be getting worse. I'm even more concerned because I'm 7 weeks pregnant. Should I be worried about these huge bruises and the pain? Is this normal or should I get it checked out?

I've been dealing with this annoying fungal infection on my back for about 6 months now, and I'm in the UAE. I'm using TRAVOCORT cream as the doctor recommended, and it seems to work for a few days, but then the itching and irritation come back. I've noticed the symptoms seem to get worse when I eat non-veg foods like chicken, fish, or mutton, which is really frustrating. Can you help me figure out what's going on and how I can get some relief? It's becoming really uncomfortable.

To address this issue, I recommend trying an antifungal medication like Terbinafine (brand name Lamisil) in tablet form, along with a topical antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (brand name Lotrimin) to apply on the affected area. Additionally, it is important to maintain good hygiene, wear loose-fitting clothing, and avoid consuming foods that seem to trigger your symptoms. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I recently tried to put a neem stick through my ear lobe after not wearing earrings for two months, and now it's infected. I'm wondering if I should try using Boroplus or maybe turmeric and mustard oil to treat it. What would you recommend? I'm not sure which is better for this kind of situation.

I have dark black pimple marks on my face and I'm really worried about them. Can you suggest some medicines or treatments to fade them? I don't want to go for facial surgery what other options do I have?

Dark pimple marks can fade with creams like hydroquinone, tretinoin, or azelaic acid; chemical peels or laser treatments are non-surgical options with good results.
