I am suffering from scalp folliculitis since 2 years I undergone some hair loss my age is still 18 it will be reversible or not
Answered on 30th Apr '24
Scalp folliculitis makes hair follicles on your head get infected. It causes red, itchy bumps. It can make you lose hair too. You must keep your head clean. Do not scratch it. Use special shampoos with medicine in them. See a skin dermatologist. They can help treat scalp folliculitis.

I am a 39 year old woman and am having an issue with my skin on my chin for the last 2 weeks. After friction from making out with someone new. He did not have a beard. Maybe slight stubble but really not noticeable. My skin became raw and I put Vaseline on it and neosporin. After about a week acne started appearing. I changed my regimen to a salicylic acid ointment and moisturizer. It seems to help a bit but not a lot. My skin is less raw but still splotchy and red with acne. I have not ever struggled with skin issues. Should I keep up the acne treatment? Should I do something else? It peels and is uncomfortable (it stings with the ointment but once it dries it doesn’t hurt but it does bother me). I’m traveling in Brazil now but am from the US. Any help appreciated before I head home! I plan to see a dermatologist PA when I get back.

Your skin seems irritated by friction. The rawness, redness, and acne result from that. Using salicylic acid ointment helps acne. Continue applying it. Gently wash your skin, moisturize too. Consult a dermatologist for guidance.

What are theses rashs on me been there for 2 months and getting worse
Answered on 24th Apr '24
This could mean you have eczema. Eczema makes skin red, itchy and inflamed in patches. Many things can trigger it, like allergies or irritants. To help, keep skin moisturized. Don't use harsh soaps. Try a gentle moisturizing cream or ointment instead. You can also visit a dermatologist.

Can i ask on skin complication of my daughter
Answered on 16th Apr '24
Only based on the given information it is quite impossible to determine whether your daughter is suffering from a skin disorder or not. It is therefore wise to visit a dermatologist for the proper diagnosis and therapy.

Answered on 6th Feb '24
Being born with a bald spot on the forehead might be an indication of alopecia areata. You should visit a dermatologist who can diagnose and treat appropriately.
I have a lot of dark moles like structures on my face and skin, will I be able to remove it permanently. If yes, kindly let me know the method and cost. Thank you :)
Answered on 11th Jan '24
Common procedures are laser therapy, excision or cryotherapy depending on the type and size of moles. Based on the methods chosen, number of moles or location can vary dramatically in costs. It is essential to seek advice from a dermatologist or any skincare specialist who could analyze your situation, suggest appropriate options and give an idea of the possible costs. The removal procedure should be carried out by a licensed practitioner to ensure safety and reduce the degree of scarring.
