Could scratches on my penis suggest syphilis?

Patient's Query

I'm 25 years old and I'm married from last 2 years. I had scratches on my penis I just want to know syphilis causes

Answered by Dr. Anju Methil

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium *Treponema pallidum*. It often begins with a painless sore at the injection site, usually on the genitals. Other symptoms can include rashes, fever, and swollen lymph nodes. The condition is transmitted through direct contact with sores during sexual activities. Early detection is vital and can lead to effective treatment with antibiotics. I recommend visiting a dermatologist for proper evaluation and testing. This is essential to ensure your health and peace of mind, and they can provide the right guidance for your situation.

I am 21 year old female. I have premature gery hair for last 4 years . But day by it increases. What should I do now?

Female | 21

It’s common to get gray hair early, especially if it started in your teenage years. This can be due to genetics, stress, or diet. While it might seem worrying, gray hair usually isn't a sign of a serious health problem. You can choose to use hair dye or embrace your natural look. Remember to eat a balanced diet, manage stress, and take good care of your hair.

Greetings sir my daughter is four years old she was some what black with your suggestion I want her for skin whitening treatment which one is permanent for her chemical peel or Laser treatment please suggest me sir

Female | 4

Neither of these treatments is recommended for children under the age of 18. Chemical peels and laser treatments are not permanent skin whitening treatments. These treatments can help to reduce the appearance of dark spots, but they will not permanently lighten the skin.

Psoriasis can be a chronic skin condition that require ongoing treatment. If you have tried several treatments without success, then discuss with a dermat to determine appropriate treatment plan for your condition. Medications, phototherapy, or biologic treatments are few options. Moreover you can try to avoide stress, smoking, and alcohol, and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

i am using finasteride 1mg daily for hair loss . i have read that it can cause prostate cancer . is this true or can i take it without any worry

Male | 26

Finasteride is mostly safe to use for most people and it's not a direct cause of prostate cancer. Nevertheless, it can have an impact on the behavior of the prostate which in turn, may result in a PSA test result being altered. If you have concerns, it's always best to talk to your doctor.

Male | 16

Pimple scars can se­em annoying, but there are­ ways to treat them. These­ scars form when your skin heals after popping a pimple­. The scars look like dark spots or uneve­n texture. To help fade­ scars, try products containing retinol or vitamin C. Always use sunscree­n too since sun exposure can worse­n scars. It takes time, but be patie­nt and caring towards your skin.

Yes you can have budget creams in the form of moisturizer, pigment reduction cream containing polyhydroxy acids, and a good sunscreen with both UVA as well as UVB protection. For the scar, you can use antiscar gel containing silicon
