A few days ago I noticed a bump on my head and I thought I just hit my head. After a couple days it started to get a bit bigger and I noticed that it was a pimple on my scalp. I popped the pimple and removed all the pus and it started to bleed for a little bit but it shortly went away. I went to take a look at it today and I noticed a small circular bald spot about 1 cm in diameter where the pimple used to be. When touching the area with my hand I noticed that the hair in that area is really sensitive and can fall out if I rummage my hand through that area. Is this a concern or is this something normal?

A small circular bald spot on the scalp after popping a pimple is not uncommon, but if the area is sensitive and hair is falling out, please see a dermatologist to rule out infection or other underlying conditions.

Hello.. i am priti.2 day ago cat bite me.but not bleeding only two min. Burning and red dot and morning no dot .what should i do.

Female | 30

From what you are telling me, a cat must have bitten you. And even though it didn't bleed, you saw a burning sensation and a red dot after the event. This is a possible result of bacteria from the cat's mouth. It is important to wash the area with soap and water. Check for any swelling, pain, or redness. If you see anything out of the ordinary, don't hesitate to see a doctor.

Skin allergy back side ,leg

Male | 27

The numerous factors that lead to skin allergies on the backside and legs include irritants, allergenic agents, infection or autoimmune disorders. It is necessary to consult a dermatologist that will conduct sufficiently comprehensive evaluation and suggest adequate options for treatment. Self-diagnosis and self treatment can make the situation only worse complicating it.

Age-41yrs. From last 3 years suffering from a black patch all around my lips, specially below the lips on both sides. I had visited a doctor there who detected the problem to be Perical pig / Melasma Pg as written in the prescription. Treated me with the following medicines For the 1st month- Cetaphil gentle cleanser, Flutivate E cream alternate night and Kojic cream once in a day. Next visit I was advised to use Kojiglo cream once daily, Eukroma+Flutivate E cream on the patches twice a week. But I did not find any difference. I had informed the doctor that I cannot afford a very costly treatment, but on her assurance during my third visit I was applied Glycocil pack but yet felt no difference. Then was asked to use Dermadew Caloe lotion every day and Azideenz 10% gel once a day, this gel made my skin rough, when complained she advised me to use only Dermadew lotion day and night daily. My face is 2 to 3 shades darker than my body color. What to do now to get rid of this patch

Female | 41

Without a proper evaluation and diagnosis, I can't say. But normally, suggested treatments for perical pigmentation include topical medications and laser treatments and I do not recommend flutivate cream for pigmentation. However, based on your individual condition, the doctor will recommend the best treatment for you.

I am 25 year old women. My hairfall was extreme from april and i can see a lot of hairs on my pillow floors and they were so fragile and now it has reduced but my scalp is visible under light. I had pcos and in january i had passed a large blood clot with sever pain in palvis but now my periods are also normal. I had extreme emotional stress as my mother was severly ill. I am concerned about my hair my hairline is intact but top and crown area is affected and diffuse thinning is there

Female | 25

Hair loss can be caused by stress, hormonal imbalances, or health issues like PCOS. In your case, the shedding might be related to these factors. The good news is that it should improve as your menstrual cycle regulates. Eating well, managing stress, and self-care will help your hair grow back stronger.

I am 24 years old girl . I have low vitamin d3 when I get it checked in February and from that time I m taking supplements . All other things are normal .But after 5 month itself my hair fall does not stop at all.I m suffering from high hairfall .

Female | 24

Sometimes not having enough vitamin D3 can cause people to lose their hair. You should keep taking the vitamin D supplement as the doctor told you. You should try to eat more foods that have iron and protein in them as well. One thing that might help is finding ways to relax when you are stressed.

Pigmentation diet and medicine

Female | 25

Pigmentation is triggered by different factors such as genetics, sun exposure, and hormonal changes. A balanced diet rich in antioxidants and drinking a lot of water may help improve skin health. You should consult a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment. They may prescribe an appropriate medication and recommend certain lifestyle changes to control pigmentation.

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.

I want to know about triglycerides

Triglyceride­s are fatty substances found in blood. Excessive­ levels increase­ health risks. There are­ typically no symptoms. High triglycerides freque­ntly occur with obesity, poor diet, and inactivity. Lowering triglyce­rides involves consuming nutritious foods, regular e­xercise, and limiting sugary intake. Maintaining he­althy triglyceride leve­ls supports cardiovascular well-being.
