Question

Red rash in groin area with small red lumps- now also red dots on head of penis. Not itchy but groin area was, now it's just sore. Is this an std?

Answer 1

Rash: Scabies, Herles, tinea cruris, foliculitis. A picture would help.

Answer 2

Airway inflammation: Since ear infections begin with inflammation in the upper airway (nose and throat), parents should avoid situations that may lead to inflammation. These include, but are not limited to: cold viruses, irritants like cigarette smoke, and aeroallergens such as pollen, in certain susceptible children.

Answer 3

Bacterial infection: It is important to maintain your child's recommended vaccine status. Current evidence suggests that since we have been vaccinating children against infection with the pneumococcus and the haemophilus organisms ("meningitis vaccines"), the actual number of doctor visits for ear infections has declined.

Answer 4

Ear infections: The greatest reason for ear infection in the very young is due to both anatomy and laying down. As a child grows the angle of the tube that hooks the ear to the throat becomes more acute, and the tube becomes longer, resulting in most kids "outgrowing" the risk. However, there are a number of other factors and one of the most often over looked is allergies which cause chronic nasal congestion.

Answer 5

Yes: It is ok to bathe your baby, even with tender spots or a rash. However if your baby seems really uncomfortable you may want to make an appointment with your pediatrician. Remember babies do not need a bath every day- this could dry out their skin and make it prone to peeling or increased tenderness. Instead, bathe every 2-4 days.

Answer 6

Yes: Keeping the skin clean is especially important if the skin is irritated and cracked because germs can enter broken skin. Use a mild cleanser and rinse well, since soaps can irritate the skin further. Cover with a mild lotion or petrolatum jelly to moisturize the skin. If not getting better, see baby's doctor!

Answer 7

Either: Either may help with symptoms. Hydrocortisone cream which is available over-the-counter may both relieve the symptoms and help get rid of the rash. Antihistamines like claritin, zyrtec and Benadryl (diphenhydramine) will also help for both.

Answer 8

Xerosis: Calamine lotion are great for viral exanthem! aloe vera are great for innate moisturizers and skin calming properties! apply as directed , regards!

Answer 9

Yes: It amy be more difficult to eradicate warts in women although prescription cream is more effective in women for external warts.

Answer 10

Yes: The prevalence rate in men and women is similar. Hpv is also the most common std in the us according to cdc statistics.

Answer 11

Some are...: Superfiical fungal infections are common but may be more likely in people who sweat a lot, especially in sports or play. Sweaty skin (wet/moist skin) is more likely to "growth" fungus.

Answer 12

No: Any those that engage in close contact sports such as wrestling.
