Question 1

I've been struggling with this ingrown toenail for ages, but now there's this fluid leaking from the gap between the nail and skin of my toe. It's kind of freaking me out. What can I do about this? Would a dermatologist be the right person to help me out?

Accepted Answer

An ingrown toenail with fluid oozing can be a sign of infection. You can soak your foot in warm water and Epsom salts to help reduce inflammation and pain. You can also apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to the affected area. In case of pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen. However, if the symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to see a doctor. A dermatologist can help with this issue by providing proper treatment and care, which may include draining the fluid and prescribing antibiotics if necessary.

May be Fordyce spots. Fordyce spots are harmless, small, yellow-white or skin-colored spots that can appear on the shaft of the penis, the labia, or the vermilion border of the lips. They are a type of ectopic sebaceous gland and are considered a normal variation. There is no specific treatment necessary for Fordyce spots, as they are benign and do not cause any symptoms. However, if you are concerned about the appearance or if they are causing you distress, you may consider consulting a dermatologist.
