It's important to seek professional medical advice for any concerns about your health, especially when it involves sensitive areas like your mouth and genitals. I cannot provide medical diagnoses or treatment recommendations. Here's what I can suggest: for your tongue: schedule an appointment with your dentist: they can examine your tongue and determine the cause of the white hairy patches and red spots. It could be something common like oral thrush, which is a fungal infection, or something else entirely. Avoid self-diagnosing: don't try to diagnose your tongue concerns yourself based on online information. Only a qualified healthcare professional can give you an accurate diagnosis and recommend proper treatment. For your genital area: schedule an appointment with your doctor or a urologist: they can examine the rashes or tiny spots and determine the cause. It could be something like a yeast infection, balanitis, or another skin condition. Avoid self-treating or applying any creams or ointments: this could worsen the situation or interfere with proper diagnosis and treatment. Remember, it's always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to your health. Don't hesitate to seek professional help to ensure you get the proper diagnosis and treatment.

They will be able to evaluate your symptoms and provide you with an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. While sexually transmitted infections (stis) are a common concern with symptoms affecting the genital area, it's reassuring that you've already had std tests that came back negative. However, there are other possible causes for the changes you're experiencing, such as urethral irritation or inflammation. Some potential non-sti-related causes may include: urethritis: inflammation of the urethra, which can be caused by various factors, including infections (such as bacterial or viral) or irritation from chemicals or certain personal care products. Balanitis: inflammation of the glans penis (head of the penis), which can be caused by poor hygiene, fungal or bacterial infections, or skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis. Allergic reaction: it's possible to have an allergic reaction to substances that come into contact with the meatus during sexual activity, such as lubricants, condoms, or spermicides. Trauma or injury: repeated friction or rough handling during sexual activity or masturbation may cause irritation or minor trauma to the meatus.

It is not proper to get prescription for infective skin disease online. At least an image sent helps in correct diagnosis. You should consult your local doctor for inspection, clinical examination, proper diagnosis and you will be advised to take proper rest. Avoid public contact so that it is not spread. Take adequate liquid, normal food. Normally antiviral tablets like acyclovir tablets are given for about a week. Tablets for itching, tablets for bacterial infection if present. Do as advised. There should be no problem.

That being said, there are a few potential causes for sensitivity or pain in the glans. One possibility is a condition called balanitis, which refers to inflammation of the glans penis. Balanitis can be caused by various factors, including poor hygiene, infections (such as yeast or bacterial infections), skin conditions, or an allergic reaction. Treatment typically involves keeping the area clean, using mild soaps, avoiding irritants, and, if necessary, using prescribed medications to treat any underlying infections or inflammation. Another possibility is a condition called phimosis, which refers to the inability to retract the foreskin fully. This can lead to discomfort and sensitivity. Treatment for phimosis may involve gentle stretching exercises, topical creams, or in some cases, circumcision. Regards, Dr. Ms. haque.

Balanoposthitis is the inflammation of the glans penis (head of the penis) and the foreskin. It can have various causes, including fungal or bacterial infections, poor hygiene, irritants, or underlying skin conditions. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Fusidic acid cream is an antibiotic commonly used to treat bacterial skin infections, including certain types of balanoposthitis caused by bacteria. It's usually applied topically to the affected area. However, the effectiveness of fusidic acid cream depends on the specific cause of the inflammation. If your symptoms are due to a fungal infection, an antifungal cream or medication might be more appropriate. An antifungal medication like clotrimazole or miconazole might be recommended in such cases.

If you're experiencing itching and cuts on your penis, it's possible that you have an infection or another underlying issue. Here are some general suggestions that might help: keep the area clean: gently wash your penis with warm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap. Avoid using harsh soaps or scrubbing vigorously, as this can further irritate the skin. Avoid irritants: steer clear of any potential irritants, such as perfumed soaps, lotions, or laundry detergents. These can exacerbate the itching and irritation. Try over-the-counter remedies: you may consider using over-the-counter antifungal creams or hydrocortisone creams to relieve itching and reduce inflammation. However, it's important to follow the instructions on the packaging and consult a healthcare professional if your symptoms persist or worsen. Keep the area dry: moisture can contribute to the growth of bacteria or fungi, so ensure the area is dry after washing. Gently pat the area with a clean towel and consider wearing loose-fitting underwear made of breathable fabrics.

Hello! an intramuscular injection is a type of injection that is given directly into the muscle tissue. It is typically used for medications that need to be absorbed more slowly and steadily than if given through other routes such as oral or intravenous. Common areas where intramuscular injections are given include the upper arm, thigh, and buttocks. The waist area is not typically used for this type of injection. It is important to ensure that the syringe and needle used for the injection are sterile and have not been used before to reduce the risk of infection. Reusing syringes and needles can introduce bacteria into the body, which can cause infections. Symptoms of an infection from an injection can include redness, swelling, pain, warmth, and tenderness around the injection site. Fever, chills, and other flu-like symptoms may also occur. If you have any concerns about the injection you received, it's important to speak with a healthcare professional as soon as possible.

Just like any other form of unprotected sex, swallowing semen can put you at risk for an sti. Without a barrier birth control method, bacterial infections, like gonorrhea and chlamydia, can affect the throat. Skin-to-skin viral infections, like herpes, can result from contact. The most straightforward way is to wash the vaginal area gently with warm water. The american sexual health association (asha) recommend using mild, unscented soap around the vaginal area. It is best to avoid perfumed soaps as these can cause irritation by disturbing the ph level of the vagina.

Vitamin b12 deficiency can lead to a range of symptoms, including fatigue, weakness, numbness or tingling in the hands and feet, difficulty maintaining balance, mood changes, and pale skin. In more severe cases, it can cause memory loss, confusion, and dementia. As for vitamin d deficiency, symptoms may include fatigue, muscle weakness, bone pain or tenderness, depression, and impaired wound healing. In children, it can cause rickets, a condition that causes softening and weakening of the bones. It is important to note that the symptoms you have mentioned, such as a sore throat, feeling feverish, a white tongue, and mouth ulcers, are not typically associated with a deficiency in vitamin b12 or vitamin d. These symptoms could be caused by a viral or bacterial infection, so it is important to seek medical attention if they persist or worsen. I would recommend speaking with healthcare provider or doctor about your symptoms and your recent test results to determine the best course of action for addressing any deficiencies and addressing any other health concerns you may have. They can help you determine if further testing or treatment is necessary. If you want to consult with me follow this link url/consult-privately/doctor/dr-satya-kishor-sharma-general-physician.
