Question 2

I have a problem of pimple breakout and acne. So I use B-bact ointment and aquaminol lotion. Today my pimple was irritated and was bleeding during washing the face. Now there is a blood clot. What should I do now doctor?

Accepted Answer

It's essential to address the bleeding pimple and blood clot properly to promote healing and prevent infection.

Assessing the situation:

1. Bleeding pimple: The bleeding could be due to the pimple being scratched, popped, or irritated during washing.
2. Blood clot: The blood clot has formed to protect the wound and promote healing.

Immediate steps:

1. Stop using B-bact ointment and aquaminol lotion for now: Avoid applying any topical treatments to the affected area until it's healed.
2. Clean the area gently: Wash the area with lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap. Pat dry with a clean towel.
3. Apply a cold compress: A cold compress or an ice pack wrapped in a cloth can help reduce swelling and ease pain.
4. Avoid picking or scratching: Resist the temptation to pick or scratch the blood clot, as this can lead to infection, scarring, or prolonged healing.

Promoting healing:

1. Keep the area moisturized: Apply a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer to the affected area to promote healing and prevent dryness.
2. Use a topical antibiotic ointment (if prescribed): If your doctor prescribes a topical antibiotic ointment, apply it as directed to help prevent infection.

Milia is a trapped keratin and molluscum is an infection

Question 4

I noticed a small squishy lump near my vagina, close to my anus, just two days ago. The only thing that really made me notice it was the intense itching, but it comes and goes. What could this be, and should I be worried?

Gynaecologist opinion is advised.

3. *Pat dry*: Gently pat the area dry, rather than rubbing.

*Over-the-Counter (OTC) Medications*

1. *Hydrocortisone cream*: Reduces inflammation and itching.
2. *Antifungal creams*: If the cause is fungal (e.g., candida), use an antifungal cream like clotrimazole.

2. *Steroid creams*:
