Question 1

I've got this pimple on my bum, and it's the third one already. The first two were really painful, and no tablets seemed to work on them, but they eventually went away. Now, this one's back, and the pain is awful. It's swelling more and more every day, and I can barely walk. Plus, my anus is hurting too. I've had bleeding twice, and it's painful when I'm sitting or using the bathroom. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

go for dermatologist

Question 2

I'm looking for some advice on treating bed sores, especially around the tailbone area. My loved one is unable to walk or stand, making it harder to care for her. Can you recommend any sprays that might help?

Accepted Answer

I recommend using a spray called "Prontosan Wound Irrigation Solution." This spray helps to cleanse the wound and promote healing. In addition to using the spray, it is important to keep the area clean and dry. Change the bedding frequently and use a special cushion or mattress to relieve pressure on the tail bone. Make sure to reposition the patient regularly to prevent further pressure on the affected area. If the bed sore is severe, it is important to seek medical attention for further evaluation and treatment.

Question 3

I'm a bit confused about something and was hoping for some guidance. When it comes to using Regaine, should it be applied after using hair oil, or is it supposed to go on beforehand? What's the right way to use it?

Accepted Answer

Before it is advised to the patient.

Question 4

Over winter, I've noticed my skin tends to get a darker shade, even though I've usually got a fair skin tone. What do you think might be causing this? Plus, my skin gets pretty dry around this time. Could you recommend a moisturizer that isn't sticky...

Accepted Answer

consult dermatologist

Question 5

I'm a bit concerned about this hard lump that's been on my left cheek for about two years now. It's about the size of half a small potato, and while it's not painful, I'm worried about what it could be. Any thoughts on what might be going on?

Accepted Answer

Surgeon opinion.

Question 6

I got bitten by a rat on my finger last night. It feels like a needle pinch at that spot. The doctor gave me abhayrab and a tt shot. Do I need something else?

Accepted Answer

Rabies Immunoglobulin (IMG) is typically administered in addition to the rabies vaccine if the exposure is considered high risk (e.g., deep bite wounds, exposure to wild animals, or if the animal cannot be observed or tested for rabies).
If the bite was relatively minor (such as a small puncture wound), and the rat was not acting abnormally, you might not need IMG.
If the doctor did not recommend IMG, they may have assessed the risk as low based on the circumstances of the bite.Monitor for symptoms: After a rat bite, be vigilant for any signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, pain, or discharge from the wound. If you notice any unusual symptoms, seek medical attention.
Observe the animal: If you can, try to observe the rat or determine whether it was showing any signs of illness (though this is often difficult). If the rat was acting unusually (e.g., aggressive or showing signs of rabies), this could increase the risk of rabies
