Can I Ice Sunburned Leg After Softball Injury?

Patient's Query

I fell asleep outside and got a painful sunburn on my leg. I went to softball practice and got hit in the leg with a softball. Am I allowed to ice it because I thought you couldn't ice a sunburn but it hurts to put pressure on it.

Answered by Dr. Ishmeet Kaur

Sunburns are very painful, and getting hit by a softball on top of that is even worse. Applying ice won't harm the sunburn and can help reduce pain and swelling. Wrap the ice in a towel to protect your skin. If the pain is severe or doesn't improve, see a dermatologist for proper treatment.

Nostril laser hair removal

Female | 44

Nostril hair removal procedure is a cosmetic procedure that can be performed by a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon with a valid license. It is a safe and effective way to remove unwanted hair from the nostrils. If you are interested in this procedure, I would advise you to consult with a qualified specialist in dermatology or plastic surgery.

I am 23 years old and I did a breast surgery on 17th of march 2024 for removal of lump. The wound is yet to heal now. Few days after the surgery i noticed leakages from the stitches so i went back to the doctor then he stitched it again whivh made the healing process very slow. What can I do to heal the opened wound on my right breast? I find it difficult to bathe. I was prescribed ciprotab by the doctor and vitamin c (but I got the coloured ones instead) or should I have been using the white one? I already stopped the ciprotab

Female | 23

To help the wound heal, ensure that you keep it clean and dry, wash the area gently with some mild soap and water then dry. Any rough movements which might disrupt the stitches should be avoided. Consult with Your Doctor on the right type of vitamin C use, usually white because colored ones could have added ingredients. Should there be signs like increased pain, redness, swelling, or pus, then do seek medical Help immediately as this could mean infection.

Hello Doctor, I am a 30 year old female and I recently noticed open pores on my face, what should I do? My daily routine is: use himalaya neem face wash, then moisturize skin and I happen to have oily & dull skin. Can you pls suggest what should I do? Thank you!

Female | 30

I would like to start by recommending a daily skincare routine for the problems you are facing. Start with Oil control cleansers with AHA's or BHA's to clear the oil and dirt from your face 2-4 times a day. Use a Vit C serum or day serum in the morning if you are at home and you can add sunscreen on top if you are going to go out and will get exposed to sunlight. Evening, after wash use a toner to neutralize and calm your skin. Before bed, use a coat of moisturizer and additional retinol-based anti-aging serum to finish. If it's a major concern, please contact a dermatologist.

I am 33 years old .I am suffering from PCOD & now I am facing hair fall problem in badly .can you help me to grow new hair

Female | 33

PCOD can trigger the hormonal imbalance which in turn causes hair loss. Some signs are irregular menstruation and acne. To promote new hair growth, you can try consuming a balanced diet full of fruits and vegetables, controlling stress, and keeping a normal weight. You may talk to your doctor about possible therapies for hair growth as well.

Hello I'm chandana from India and I'm 25 years old.I have been struggling with numerous facial skin issues, including dark spots, large open pores, pimples, wrinkles, fine lines, and marks, for the past nine years. Despite trying various products, nothing has proven effective. As a result, I am losing confidence in social situations, and I feel that people are not favorably inclined toward me. I seek a solution to these persistent problems.

Female | 25

I understand your concerns about facial skin issues. It's important to see a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. They can offer targeted solutions for dark spots, open pores, pimples, wrinkles, fine lines, and marks. A dermatologist may recommend treatments like chemical peels, laser therapy, or prescription medications. They will also help you establish a skincare routine suited to your skin type.

You Suggest Me that i can get cleanup on face because I am teenager

Male | 19

Most youngsters need a face cleanup. When you see that your pores are clogged, whether it is blackheads, or pimples, the cause of these things can be either dirt, bacteria, or skin oil production. Aside from that, do not forget to cleanse your face twice a day with a mild oil-free cleanser, to make your face glow and not raise the probability of skin infection, use a face moisturizer and do not keep touching your face.

I'm suffering from severe akin problem ,with sever itching and irriation on my legs and it raising to hands also ..Consulted so many doctors there is no solution and there is no improvement looking for suggestion and better treatment

Female | 33

It sounds like you may have eczema, a common skin condition that can cause itching, redness, and irritation. To determine if this is the case, you should see a dermatologist. The dermatologist can recommend an appropriate treatment plan that may include topical medications, light therapy, or oral medications. Additionally, lifestyle changes can help to manage symptoms including avoiding potential triggers, wearing loose fitting clothing, and using a humidifier in your home.
