Q. I have a flat painless mark on my wrist. What is it likely to be?
Hi doctor, I have had this mark on my wrist for the past couple of weeks, it is flat and painless and appears to be a blemish on my skin. What is it likely to be? I am worried about cancer. Thank you. | Hi. I have gone through your case (attachment removed to protect patient identity). It looks to be a post-inflammatory rash. Which means you might have some sort of red or inflamed lesions a few days back which then have healed with brown pigment. No there is no evidence of cancer. So just relax. I suggest applying 1 % Hydrocortisone cream two times a day for 14 days. Consult a specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines with their consent. For more information consult a dermatologist online --> | |
Q. How to confirm depression?
Hi doctor, I just wanted to ask a few questions and get an opinion. I have been experiencing symptoms of depression for the last two years and I do not know what to do. I do not want to get my family involved unless I know anything for sure and I do not even know if I have depression. I have not had any bad experiences that would have affected me enough to make me depressed and my family does not have a history of mental illness, which is what makes me waver. I feel numb, sad and worthless most of the time. I have found myself becoming more and more irritable and spending more and more time alone. I do not know whether this is just something my mind has conjured up or there is something actually wrong. I feel mad at myself whenever I think about this as I do not have any reason for feeling the things I feel. Anyway, I was just wondering if it sounds like I have depression or not. I really want to see a doctor, but I want to give my parents some explanation since they do not really understand how bad mental illness can be. Thank you. | Hi. You should understand the difference between depression and disappointment. Disappointment also manifest symptoms as in the case of the depression. Were you deeply disappointed in the near past, say within one year? You did not have any bad experiences and your family does not have any depression history. That is perfect. For further information consult a psychiatrist online --> | |

I suggest you get a rapid antigen testing done for the baby with throat swab and if it is negative, stop the antibiotics. Please do not use antibiotics without proper investigations and blood culture in this age group.Regards - Dr. Sumanth | |

Hi, my dad (65yrs - 69kg) fell on his penis area whilst he was on an exercise bike. He has had pain in the testicles, back and stomach for 6 months now but in the last week it has become unbarable. he is taking morphine. at night he cant sleep, his testicles are hot and he has to put a cold pack on them. Doctors cant find anything wrong. He can walk or sit. 2 specialist checked him. they done prostate check, blood test, urine test and cat scan. no clue whats wrong with him. Please help with any suggestions. could it be his back causing the pain? | Hello this is Dr Adil.Thanks for asking question. It seems that your Dad testicles get injury during that event of falling. Testicular trauma may cause referred pain that feels in the abdominal area. So some testicular pathology that has been resulted from the trauma event, is there. Now all the tests came negative, it means there's nothing serious or something that may need emergency evaluation. Now in this situation, i would suggest, pain killers, cold packs and testicular support, as he is already doing. You should seek another specialist's advice on this matter also, if problem worsens.You may ask more question or give more information on this subject so that we have a better idea of the condition of your father. Kind Regards. | |

How long the medicine for the high BP to be continued?
hi im a private nurse im going to ask about my patient. my patient was hypertensive and given the medication with his cardiologist norvasc (amlodipine) 10mg together with concore (bisoprolol) 2.5mg his past blood pressure before was ranging from 130/80- 140/80mmhg he was taken the drug for one month during hospitalization. when he was discharged from the hospital about 3weeks his blood pressure decreases to 110/80-100/50-80/60mmhg as his maintaining BP and now should i still give the norvasc which is 10mg in dose or should i hold it and continue the concore which is 2.5mg? To prevent rebound hypertension for my patient. and i called up his anesthesiologist because she is going to be under a wound closure procedure for his fournier's gangrene and she told me that i should not stop giving his concore and norvasc but i know she was doubtful with her orders thats why i ask this web for the best intelegent doctors online here thankz... | Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your concern. No, you should not stop the antihypertensive drug for this patient. His blood pressure is controlled with these drugs. So continue same drugs at present. He is also having Fournier 's gangrene. It is acute infection of soft tissue of body. Healing is faster if patient is having controlled blood pressure. If you are stop these drugs, patient may have rebound hypertension and this can affect healing in Fournier' s gangrene. This an also cause bleeding from stitch site. So better not to stop any drug at present. When he is cured from Fournier 's gangrene, stitches are removed then we can taper down the antihypertensive drugs. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. | |

Q. Can Yasmin birth control pill be used as an emergency contraceptive pill?
Hello doctor, My fiancee and I had unprotected sex a few days back, but I did not ejaculate inside her. Just to be on the safer side, we wanted to use the emergency contraceptive pill. But due to some restriction in the country where we live, Plan B or emergency contraceptive pills are not available. I read that Yasmin, which is used as a regular contraceptive pill can be used as an emergency contraceptive pill at a higher dosage. Can Yasmin be used as an emergency contraceptive pill? And at what dosage? | Hi. How are you doing? Yes, as you have heard, Yasmin can be used as an emergency pill. Even if you have not ejaculated into her, she stands a chance of pregnancy if the pre-seminal fluid, the clear fluid that comes out before semen, which is rich in young healthy sperms, comes in contact with her genitals. As soon as possible, earlier the better, I suggest taking four tablets of Yasmin (combination of Ethinyl Estradiol and Drospirenone) at the time, repeat four more tablets after 12 hours. This being a high dose of hormones, it will suddenly increase the inner lining of the uterus. Then as it is a single dose, the inner lining will fall off. This makes it unfavorable for the possible embryo or baby to settle into the uterus. She will get her periods within 7 to 10 days of the last pill. But do not keep repeating this frequently, it can disturb the hormonal balance and can reduce the effectiveness of the pill. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines after their consent. This is an old method, but it is an effective emergency method. Just do not delay the pills. As time passes by, the effectiveness reduces. Hope I have clarified your query, do write back. All the best. For further queries consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online --> | |

Pricked by infected needle. Infected with hepatitis C?
is it possible to be contaminated with hepatitis c?but im not really sure if i was prick with the infected needle because it did not bleed and the 2nd glove did not have a hole,but i felt slight pain on my finger.i tried also to let it bleed but no blood,and when i put alcohol on my finger i did not felt pain.but im just afraid i get contaminated | Hi,Thanks for using Healthcaremagic,I presume you are health worker and it is accidental possible exposure to needle prick.Needle stick injury from someone who was HCV positive have about a 1.8% chance of contracting the disease themselves which is very low chance.The risk is greater if the needle in question is hollow and the puncture wound is deep.There is no risk if blood exposure occurs on intact skin.Your prick is not deep so possibly no exposure to blood, but just take care in future to avoid such injuries.Hope this helps you.Take care.Good LuckDr. Akhilesh Dubey M.D. | |
What causes numbness of foot with diagnosis of peroneal nerve damage?
Top of left foot and toes partially numb / tingling for over a year and diagnosed with possible peroneal nerve damage (all other blood tests good). Did a home pedicure last night and woke up with all my toes and ball of foot extremely numb on same foot (affected the bottom this time). Could this be something else? | I am sorry for your issues your experiencing.Judging from your description it doesn't look indeed like the peroneal nerve distribution. While nerve territories are not always clear cut, that area is usually related to damage to the tibial or sciatic nerve. Of course a clinical neuroexam would help to assess motor involvement, along with tests like ENG (similar tests to what you must have already undergone for your peroneal nerve damage).Hope you will get better soon. Don't hesitate to write for further inquiries. | |

What causes constant back pain and fatigue in a heart patient?
hi, doc! just want to ask regarding my wife having constant back pain below her shoulder on both sides. she was diagnosed with enlargement of the heart and i forgot the term the doctor used but it was like a vessel of her heart is getting smaller hole due to blocking the inside wall of her vessel. and recently she was working some chores her in the house and felt too much fatigue that she couldnt even stand alone just this morning. but now she still felt the backpain and fatigue that bothers her. Thanks and best regards, ranier | dear patient your wife is suffering from coronary heart disease and heart failure which leads to less pumping of blood into muscles. muscles require enough amount of blood and oxygen to function which they get from heart. In cardiac failure less amount of blood reaches back and leg muscle and hence they cannot perform proper function and results in fatigue and pain. you should take her to expert cardiologist and get properly investigated and examined. proper treatment of heart failure will give her muscle strength and pain and fatigue will disappear. | |

It s been about 3 weeks now and the bruise gone and it s not sore unless you hit it really hard and the knot is still there, should I get it checked out or leave it be? | hi,Thank you for providing the brief history of you.A thorough clinical orthopedic assessment is advised.As mentioned by you the pain in the shin area and its 3 weeks old, this area is prone to give pain a bit longer, as there is less of muscles and more of the skinny region. Also, the impact of injury will be directly hit to the bony region, may be if after the clinical orthopedic assessment the need of x-ray is felt than you will be advised one.As the pain is not coming down, you may be advised to undergo physical therapy, by using the Therapeutic ultrasound therapy and later stages exercises it will be possible to give you a strength in the muscles and the fascia. By which the pain will be lowered and the recovery will be to the optimum. Also, you can play soccer on later stages if the sports retraining is performed.In my clinical practice i see sports injury and they respond well to physical therapy.RegardsJay Indravadan Patel | |
Q. How long should my husband and I wait to try for a baby if we did cocaine?
Hello doctor,I am trying to conceive but my husband and I did cocaine a week ago. How long should my husband and I wait to safely continue to try to get pregnant? How long until it is out of our system? How long does cocaine stay in sperm? Thanks in advance. | Hello, Wellcome to iclinq.com. There are few researches/studies on cocaine use by males and its effect on pregnancy. Few suggest that cocaine by itself has limited effects as most of the time it is taken along with other drugs or as a cocktail of alcohol and cigarette (tobacco). So, most of the people take not just cocaine but a combination of drugs. Cocaine narrows blood vessels (vasoconstriction). It can lead to erectile dysfunction. Few studies suggest that it has receptors on testicles and sperm. So, it can degenerate testicular tissues/or sperm quality, transfer from sperm to female egg and can lead to early miscarriage. Cocaine is a very fast acting drug which affects the nervous system and produces short-lived euphoric attitude for 15 minutes to an hour, but causes long-term damage to the body and brain like anxiety, depression, aggression, impairment of logic and critical thinking, heart problem, hypertension and decrease in bone density. Its half-life is an hour. So, it takes about an hour for half of the cocaine consumed to leave the body. But, with long-term use, the drug starts to accumulate in the blood and body tissues allowing certain tests to detect it in the system for an extended period of time. After a single use of cocaine, agents created by its metabolism can be detected in the urine for two to four days, and in chronic users, cocaine can be detected up to 12 days and highly concentrated cocaine can be detected in the urine up to three weeks. It can be detected in the saliva and blood for an average 12-48 hours. In hairs and sweat for an extended period of time, it can be detected. So, after all the above description, I do not know how your husband had cocaine, as a cocktail along with other drugs, or just cocaine? Secondly, how long he has been taking it? For you, have you been on alcohol, cocaine or smoking? If you had taken in the past, better to quit completely. My advice is, try to avoid drugs like cocaine, alcohol, ketamine, and MDMA completely for a couple of months before trying for pregnancy. Because, if the mother has an addiction, it has psychosocial effects on the fetus in addition to the drugs' side effects itself. Best of luck.

Q. What can be the contributing factor for the fluctuations in oxygen saturation levels?
Hello doctor, My mother is 97 years old. She had a minor heart failure with a BNP of 110. Recently, she had a bad UTI and asthma. Up to that point, her O2 saturation levels without supplemental oxygen were 95 to 96. Now that she is recovering from UTI, her O2 levels are 97 to 98 with 2 liters of supplemental O2 and her O2 level without supplemental O2 are between 88 and 92. All of these numbers are at rest. She does not do too much activity. What can be the contributing factor to this change? She had a chest CT scan and it did not show COPD. Should she stay on the O2? It is somewhat of a hazard. The tubing is difficult for her to handle. We must have someone with her all the time even throughout the night. We are concerned if she gets up to use the bathroom her foot will get caught on the tubing. She had a complete blood workup done. All the results were normal except that she is anemic. Currently, she is using nebulizer given by the primary care physician containing Ipratropium, Levalbuterol, Budesonide and antibiotics for recurrent UTI. | Hi. I do not understand the correlation between urinary tract infection (UTI) and low oxygen saturation. If the UTI has caused sepsis and multiorgan failure, then only it can affect lungs and saturation would drop. Asthma is a chronic disease and does not occur suddenly. She either had pre-existing asthma that got exacerbated by UTI or she had acute bronchitis or lower respiratory tract infection. I would recommend you go for a re-evaluation of her heart by 2D echocardiogram for her ejection fraction and for any signs of pulmonary embolism. If we do not treat the basic cause of falling saturation, we will not be able to come out of this problem. I would like to know whether you are treating her at home or hospital. Also, mention if you have her latest blood counts and urine test reports. For further information consult a pulmonologist online --> | |

Can a sluggish kidney cause abdominal pain with piles and anemia?

If your piles are not visibly bleeding get stool for occult blood test for blood loss. if that is present you can go ahead with colonoscopy. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. | |

Suggest treatment for h pylori infection
thank you my mom had H Pylori and turned into a stomach ulcer before it was caught. she is having great problems eating, makes her sick. now she is spitting up white foam. any suggestions? we have her on kefir, non dairy product, bananas, no spicy foods whatsoever. thank you | Hello,Welcome to HCM,The treatment for H.Pylori is a triple regimen which include a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and two antibiotics. If the doctor has given you these and you had taken them regularly, then you probably do not have it. The way to make sure that it is gone is to do a urea breath test after a month of the treatment.If your pain recurred after drinking alcohol, it is probably due to alcohol induced gastritis and not H.Pylori.So my suggestion would be to do a urea breath test and if it is negative, keep off alcohol and take a PPI for 1 month to help the gastritis heal.Thank you. | |

Hello, I have a rather embarrassing question. I was diagnosed with molluscum contagiosum aka water warts when I was about 8 years old, as did my friend. Probably from sharing towels.

Is Gmh 75 IU injection effective in the treatment of infertility?
Hello sir I have conceived on Jan 2016 n in march 2016 i experienceed with missed abortion.after that I have to undergo d n c. From last march to till now.I am trying to become pregnant.I hv done hsg, carryotype test..everything thing is normal.now doctor advise me to take gmh75 iu inj.what is the chance of becoming pregnant after having this? | Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.GMH or HMG injections are used to stimulate follicular growth in the ovaries and the required dose depends on many factors as age, BMI, previous ovarian response, astral follicular count, AMH etcetera.And the growth is monitored by serial ultrasound examinations. As such GMH will not reduce the chances of abortions. It can only help you get pregnant. Usual recommendation is that we need to evaluate abortions only when they are more than 3 months.But to be on safer side, I would recommend you to take atleast TSH and GTT as your karyotyping is normal and do not forget to take your Folic acid tablets as they are known to prevent abortions and neural tube defects. All the best.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Avanti Sathineedi | |

What causes cough and nose bleeds in a child?
Hi, my 6 year old son hard fever off and on for last couple of weeks and day before yesterday he complained about his left leg hurting. That went away this morning. Now he is coughing real bad and he threw up twice and had nose bleed soon after that. I am really concerned ..not sure what is going on with him.. | Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active.Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15mg/kg/dose (maximum ceiling dose of 500mg) every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F.

Q. Can I get HIV from wiping penis on the bed?
Hi doctor, I was traveling in an AC bus compartment, and I had nightfall. So I wiped my penis inner foreskin and urethra in the bed. Can I be at risk of HIV? There might be an HIV positive person as a bus staff on the bus, and there may be an infected fluid like blood on the same bed. My foreskin came in contact with some infectious fluid. Am I at risk from the event? Does HIV survive in the dry air like in AC compartment? I had neck tension and severe abdominal pain for the past one day. Are these are the symptoms of seroconversion? I did an HIV antibody test by chromatography at 28 days. Do I need more testing? I never had sex. I am not taking any drugs. Please help. | Hi. Regarding your first question, you are not at all at risk of getting HIV from the incident. HIV survive for 40 to 50 seconds in the outside environment and a maximum of 30 minutes in tissue samples.

This is needed to be evaluated. Get whole blood RNA PCR test to rule out HIV after 45 days of the incident. This is the final diagnostic test. For more information consult an HIV AIDS specialist online --> | |

Asthmatic, having some tightness in chest, short breath sensation
Hello, I am 45 asthmatic and currently having some tightness in my chest and a short breath sensation when speaking and walking even. I try to run but cannot get too far before my legs, chest and whole body basically aches to the point of hurting if I try to push myself to jog. I have had asthma for years taken treatments for it when it got bad during the spring and so fourth, but recently I have had this underlying chest tightness and sensation of shortness of breath and some dizziness when yelling or raising my voice. It is somewhat difficult to take deep breaths as well. I am unemployed at moment, but I did work in a facility that had used motoroil as coolant and breathed it in for about 2months before I had to quit due to very bad chest and lung congestion and ear aches. After I quit the symptoms subsided, but I still have this underlying feeling that my bronchi tubes are inflamed or become in flamed a lot more often then they used to. I currently do not have health insurance and I hope this is not a heart problem. Can you offer some preventative action for me to take. Thank You J.G. | Hi, you must take preventive treatment for your asthma such as inhaled corticosteroids or long acting bronchodilators in order to improve your asthma control.you must visit your doctor and after the examination he will decide for the dosage of treatment you need. | |
Can inguinal tuberculosis be transferred from father to child?
sir i suffered ingunial tb was operated with it but i did not take any treatment for it and the wound was healed in a month or so do i still have the disease in me.my wife did not catch it through me is what i feel as she has delivered a baby recently.am i totally cured is my child at any sort of risk | Hello dear,Thank you for your contact to health care magic.I read and understand your concern. I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.Yes it can transmit to other family members if you are not completely treated. Wearing a mask can prevent infection transmission to other members via respiratory tract.In my opinion you should test yourself for the TB test. If you are free from the TB there is no need to worry.But if you are currently infected with TB than you should take complete treatment so other family members won't infect with it.Your wife must be having good immunity against the TB that is why she won't infected until now. Your baby will have same immunity as her mother is having so you can allay the fear that your baby will be infected with it.You can have high protein and carbohydrate diet. Avoid single binge eating, instead you can have small frequent diet. Daily exercise, meditation and healthy living can keep you away from the all the medication.I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.Thank you,Dr Arun TankInfectious diseases specialist,HCM. | |
How do I prevent hereditary hair fall?
Hello Sir, I have a hereditary problem of baldness and being a female, hairfall is something that really worries me.

I ve used the supplements off and on, mostly regularly for a long time now. Every year, there are times that the hairfall increases tremendously and sometimes, they feel much better. However, there seems to be no fixed pattern for the hairfall, or maybe I m not able to narrow it to a particular time. Now for the past 2-3 weeks, my hair are falling like a pack of cards!

Suggest treatment for hematuria during pregnancy
I m 35 years old and 10 weeks pregnant. 1 month ago: uti culture positive (hematuria). 1 week later repeat culture: negative. Mild symptoms for a month. Today: quick test at obgyn positive for hematuria. Culture sent to lab. Is it possible that i have a low grade UTI? I have had them chronic since 18. I am concern about health of my kidneys, etc. if left untreated. Thank you. | Hi,Urinary tract infections are very common in pregnancy especially in women who have had them before. These infections are more likely to happen in initial weeks. Since you have had them twice already in this pregnancy, you should get fully evaluated including renal function tests which include serum creatinine, urea and also get a renal ultrasound, which could detect any stone or abnormality .Also you may have to consider long term antibiotics to prevent the infection from recurring. For this a opinion from a renal physician will be required.Please get the infection treated promptly as not treating it can have a negative impact on the pregnancy, lead into preterm,hypertension in pregnancy.Hope this helps.Regards. | |

Q. Please explain the poisonous effect of phenol ingestion.
Hello doctor, My friend aged 30 had two drops of phenol mistaking for milk. He vomited and had lot of salt water. Please advice for any side effect. | Hi. I want to assure you not to worry as everything is going to be fine if proper care and treatment is opted in for. I have thoroughly gone through your case and can well understand your genuine health concerns. 1. No, there is not much problem right now as he vomited and also had a lot of water. It is fine because it was only two drops. 2. We usually do not go for emesis (vomiting) for phenol poisoning cases. Because, it is a volatile compound and causes vapors entering the lungs through the airways. 3. As it was only two drops, I do not think it may cause much trouble. If he feels short of breath contact me back, otherwise fine. 1. He should avoid re-exposure. 2. Rule out if there is some sort of suicidal ideation due to depression or anxiety and take him to a psychiatrist for physical evaluation. For further follow up consult a general practitioner online.---> | |

Q. Do you have any suggestion for vision-related tinnitus?
Hi doctor, I have vision-related tinnitus. I have been nearsighted for a while. Approximately, three months ago, I went to see a speaker, sat in the back and ended up looking at him out-of-focus for an hour. The next day, my ears started ringing. Looking at my computer tends to make it louder. I have special blue light blocking computer glasses. I got polarized yellow clip to use at night, in addition to three screens over my computer as well as a couple programs to warm the screen's color temperature. But, I am still experiencing elevated ringing. My audiology test revealed a slight hearing loss in left ear, but nothing that would have brought on sudden tinnitus. I am currently on Nortriptyline to aid sleep. I have an appointment to see an ophthalmologist. I am searching for any immediate help possible. Do you like to give any suggestions for a particular polarized shade for to clip on or use over my prescription specs? | Hello. From what you have described, you have tinnitus that gets exacerbated on looking at the computer screen. There is no established connection between looking at a bright object and worsening of tinnitus, though there may be isolated reports. Tinnitus is usually caused due to an inner ear problem. In my opinion, you should seek an ENT consultation instead of an eye checkup as your main problem is tinnitus. An ENT consultation will help you find out the real cause for your tinnitus. For further information consult an eye care ophthalmologist online --> | |
Q. Why is there a yellow spot on the gums?
Hi doctor, I have a yellow spot on the right side of the gums. I also have a pain in the back tooth. I am taking Ibuprofen and applied Bonjela. But still, I have pain in the tooth. What could it be? | Hi. I have gone through the attachment (attachment removed to protect patient identity). It looks like a traumatic ulcer or chemical burn. The reason can be due to the tissue present between the last two teeth. It is chewed during grinding causing a traumatic ulcer. The other reason can be a chemical burn. As the image is not clear, I am unable to differentiate them. Please mention about the age of the ulcer. The above information is necessary as the lesion itself can present as a nonhealing ulcer in the mouth. For the pain, you can take the following medications. Take Ofloxacin 200 mg twice daily. Take Metronidazole 400 mg thrice daily for five days. Take Ibuprofen if there is a pain. | |

Is it to be concerned about the BP decreasing regularly?
I am on Torpol for blood pressure. It is usually in the 130/86 range even on the medicine. In the last six months I have lost about 30 lbs ... From 315 down to 285. My blood pressure has been dipping into the 111/62 range at times. Is that Ok? I feel a slight light headedness but nothing besides that. Is it too low? I am 34 yrs old... 6'6 Been on different blood pressure meds since 2003. | Hello!Thank you for asking on HCM!Regarding your concern, I would explain that these blood pressure values are not too low, but as you are experiencing lightheadedness, it means that it is low for your body (as you are not accustomed to such blood pressure values). As you have lost some pounds, it has lead to a drop in your blood pressure. Coming to this point, it is necessary reducing Toprol dose (take half of the dose) as you have a lower weight now and do not need such dose for the control of your blood pressure. You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues. Hope to have been helpful!Greetings!Dr. Iliri | |

Having dry skin, melasma on the mouth corners. On steroid cream. Permanent cure?
hi i have leathery dry skin i have melasma on the corners of my mouth its epidermal because it keeps coming back and i control this witha steriod called betnovate its only tempory i am so distressed as i have tried bleaching prroduct of evry sort and nothing works this steriod has thinned out my skin has given me uneven skin colour and spider veins and also i have pores al over my skin my skin is smooth to touch but dry this is what its done to my skin its so leathery and dry at the same time i do not knw wot to do help me plz its spread to my uper lip now what can i do | hi, First of all, you seem to be really stressed because of your condition..please dont be so...Melasma is a common problem and one of the known etiological agents is stress..so you have to stop worrying firstly... Now as i can make out, you have been using too many steroids over your face because of which your skin has thinned down and you have developed telangiectasis.. so most importantly,,stop using topical steroids,,they are doing more harm to your skin,, Steroids when used as a lightening agent , only cause some degree of temporary improvement. so they are not of any permanent help.. As you have dry and leathery skin, i would recommend that you should use plenty of emmolients (moisturizing creams) over your face. another thing is that you should always use a sunscreen atleast half an hour before going out in the sun..preferably use a lotion or cream formulation as you have dry skin then certain non steroidal agents like kojic acid and vitamin C formulations have been found to be effective in controlling hyperpigmentation in patients who develop side effects due to excess steroid use. and lastly , try to improve your diet,,,take plenty of fresh fruits and salads..especially citrus fruits as these are a good source of Vitamins and antioxidants and so are very good for skin..... Hope it helps Dr Geetika Paul | |
What causes constant pain in temple, knees and throat when diagnosed with tachycardia?
hey, im 23, 5 5, 110lb i have an ongoing tachycardia issue still being looked into and waiting for results of head MRI. I get thick sticky bright green/yellow mucus coming down my throat 24/7 my throat now feels like its sticking together, i wake up with the worst migraines ive ever felt constantly, I have pain in my temple that comes and goes, above my knee and inner thigh hurt so bad i cant sleep and my heart is going from 50bpm to 80bpm and than skipping beats | Hi, the tachycardia diagnosis needs a heart beat frequency major then 100 beats per minute. The feeling of heartbeat is known as palpitations. In your case, I believe that these palpitations have been caused by the stress caused by the headache and the sleepless nights.Complaints you reported are consistent with chronic sinusitis. This disease causes persistent headache, purulent nasal discharge, coughing and disrupts sleep quality. All of this cause stress.When you're stressed a hormone called epinefrin is released in your blood. It's effect accelerate your heart beat and this is the most likely cause of the palpitations that you reported. These hormone works only for a few minutes, so if your stress goes away, the epinefrin effects goes away too.So, I suggest you look for an otolaryngologist to confirm the diagnosis and begin treatment for chronic sinusitis.Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help you. Wish you good health. | |
Depression after undergoing Prostatectomy for cancer. Was advised Welbutrin but have had no relief. How to cure this?
I am a 18 month post da vinci prostatectomy cancer survivor. My 18 month psa was negative. My issue is that I still have depression from post surgery issues. Especially sexual issues. My PCP has perscribed welbutrin which I have been taking for two months now. I am looking for advice on SE MI support groups or forums. | Hi,Good to hear that you are doing well post cancer surgey. Can you elaborate your symptoms of depression? To the best of my knowledge & experience, Welbutrin (bupropion) is a very good drug to treat depression especially if symptom profile includes decreased physical activity, lethargy, sleepiness, fatigue etc. & it dosent cause sexual dysfunction by itself per se. But if symptom profile is predominated by anxiety & allied symptoms which I guess are the source of your troubles & probably sexual dysfunction also; then switching welbutrin to a more specific antidepressant alternative like Mirtazapine which works superbly for anxiety & allied symptoms, gives you good sleep as well & is neutral on sexual dysfunction as a side effect. Hence, do discuss this alternative with your doctor for symptom relief. Good luck | |

What causes foul smell and decay post a broken wisdom tooth?
I have had a broken wisdom tooth for about 3 months and it has been hurting pretty bad for about 2 months now. Well in the past month it has started to smell, probably from decay im guessing, but the gums around the tooth have become sore and swollen in the last few days and the tooth itself wiggles when i touch it as if it is going to fall out. I know it wont just fall out, and i have contacted a dentist, but they havent got back to me as it is the weekend. Can this kill me if not taken care of right away, or am I at risk for any life threatening problems? | HiWith your query, exactly what you guessed is corrected foul smell is due to putrification of collected debris or food particles in it. You also mentioned your gums are sore coz of the same and infection. I think you may have to go for extraction of the tooth. I would definitely say you must visut your dentist or oral surgeon for the nedful. You need antibiotics coverage too dont delay it iinfection may spread to other areas. Hope this helps you | |

The trick of the management is keeping the skin moist and never allowing it to be dry. For this oil massage and lotions like Oilatum will help. Regarding cure options - eczema is a sort of allergy...allergies can only be controlled and can never be cured. But usually kids grow out of it...that is as the age progresses, they become better starting from 6 months.Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.Dr. Sumanth MBBS., DCH., DNB (Paed)., | |
Suggest treatment for coating on teeth
My mother who is 89 has a coating on her teeth that drives her crazy. We have been to 2 dentists. Both say dry mouth. She does not believe them. Is ther anything that can help her? She has tried special tooth paste,mouth wash,gum,drops,spray. Any ideas? | Hi..Thanks for the query..Yes, it is true that if she has a dry mouth she can have a false feeling of having a coating on her teeth..But it would not be actually present..So the first priority is to treat dry mouth for which you need to get the exact cause ruled out.Treating the underlying cause can help in resolution of symptoms..The basic treatment is the same what she is given but if it still did not work then medications like Pilocarpine can be advised as it will help in stimulating saliva flow and relieve dry mouth..Also once get her teeth cleaned by scaling procedure to check if she finds any improvement..Hope this helps..Regards.. | |

What is this rash on the bottom of my penile shaft which is red in color and itches ?
Hello.I am 17 years of age and i have a problem. I have a rash on the bottom of my penile shaft. Its red and itches and when i scratch it,it leaks clear liquid. What is this? | Hi,Welcome to HCM.Since the fluid that comes out of the blister is clear, there is no infection. It is just a blister containing clear fluid due to blockage of gland.Take special care to retract your foreskin completely, during bathing and wash your penis and underside of the head of the penis with soap and water.Regular washing of the penis thoroughly will clear these blisters and the dirt that collects on underside of the rim of the head of the penis. |
