White Spots on Glans After Corticosteroid Use: Causes & Remedies
After prolonged use of corticosteroids, my glans became very red and after a while it healed. After 2 months of healing, I went to have sex but white spots started to appear on the glans. Now my glans is completely white and without sensitivity to touch and temperature (heat and cold).

You might be dealing with balanitis xerotica obliterans (BXO). This issue can arise after prolonged corticosteroid use. The telltale signs are redness, white patches, and reduced sensations in the glans penis. To properly address BXO, medical intervention is key. Doctors prescribe creams or perform surgery. Don't delay - promptly consult a dermatologist for accurate diagnosis and suitable treatment.

On today morning I saw my 2 sides of forehead are black and skin are thin.when I use water it's itching
Male | 25
You might have a skin problem. The darkness on your forehead might stem from too much pigment in the skin while the thinness could result from inflammation or irritation. Feeling itchy when water touches it could mean that it is sensitive or dry. Use a mild lotion and avoid strong products. In case this does not help, see a dermatologist who will examine you further and offer treatment if necessary.

I don't know if it's jock itch because I sweat alot in that area or its am STI because I am sexually active
Male | 24
Either a jock itch or an STI can cause groin itching. Jock itch results from sweat and friction, leading to redness, itching, and rashes. An STI may have similar symptoms but is related to unprotected sex. Use antifungal creams for jock itch and practice safe sex to prevent STIs. Maintaining good hygiene is also important.

You may have itching, and redness in a specific spot on your body. Possible causes: an allergy, bug bite, or irritated skin. Don't scratch! That worsens things. Use a hydrocortisone cream to ease itchiness, and swelling. However, if symptoms continue, see your dermatologist for an exam, and proper treatment.

I am a 24 year old girl who has undergone culture test frequently and taken medication but I’m still itchy In my perineum and it looks whitish . I’ve also applied steroid creams. Today I came back from a long trip and my liner was soaked with discharge and some of it looks like chunky cheese
Female | 24
It appears that you could be dealing with a yeast infection. Yeast is a type of germ that can cause itching, white discharge and sometimes looks like chunky cheese. Taking antibiotics or wearing tight clothes can sometimes cause yeast infections. You can try using over-the-counter antifungal creams for a few weeks to see if it helps. In addition, wearing loose cotton clothes and avoiding scented products in that area may also help. If the condition persists, you can visit a dermatologist.

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.

I am 25 i see blisters(sores) on my cheek looks like hsv 1 Please provide medication
Male | 25
If you notice fever blisters on your face, it's likely caused by the HSV-1 virus, which is highly contagious through touch. These blisters can come and go, sometimes causing pain. Taking tablets like Acyclovir can help ease the symptoms and speed up healing. It's crucial not to pop or touch the blisters to prevent spreading the virus. Keep the affected area dry and clean to avoid infection. Visiting a dermatologist for proper treatment is a good idea.

Chikan pox deep small circle on mouth in central Possible to remove this problem
Male | 31
A canker sore might trouble your mouth. They are small, round, and painful sores. Stress, spicy foods, or biting your cheek can cause them. Try over-the-counter rinses or gels to ease pain and speed healing. Soft foods are better; avoid spicy or acidic ones. Give it time - around one or two weeks - and it should disappear on its own.

Hello Doc, I am 23 (male) and I have a ringworm on my scalp for couple of years now, it's very difficult for me as people think im unhygienic but I wash my hair 2 times a day or more during summer. Please help me Doc
Male | 23
Ringworm is a common infection caused by a fungus that can result in red circular patches on the skin. The most effective method for treating this condition is by using antifungal shampoos or creams. Ensure that you keep your scalp clean and dry so as not to transmit it to anyone else by sharing hats or combs. If non-prescription medications fail to work, seek medical attention from a dermatologist.

I have hyperpigmentation on my skin. I have consulted determotoligst but it's not getting reduced I'm using those creams also in 26 years old
Female | 26
Any hyperpigmentation not responding to creams has to be reviewed. Skin biopsy may be needed to understand the condition and treat accordingly. Sometimes oral medications may also be necessary along with procedural treatments like chemical peels, qsyag laser etc may be needed to get rid of the pigmentation once the diagnosis is established. Understanding the cause and making a proper diagnosis is essential to resolve the hyper pigmentation. For more information please visit dermatologist near you.

Female | 34
It seems like you are going through mastitis which is an infection in the breast tissue. The pus-like discharge is a sign of infection. Mastitis can result from bacteria entering the breast via a cracked nipple or blocked milk duct. It is important to keep on taking any prescribed antibiotics and not to squeeze the breast because it can make the infection worse. Ensure you feed and pump frequently in order to clear the infection. With proper treatment and rest, mastitis can generally be cured within a week.

Hi there im a 47 year old black male I went to a traditional circumsation I'm now on 5weeks the foreskin went back to the head like uncircumcised and is swollen but not paining
Male | 47
You might be having a case of paraphimosis. This is the condition when the foreskin is stuck behind the head of the penis and it becomes swollen. It is crucial to first try to push the foreskin back over the head very gently to take away the swelling. If it still doesn't go back or worsens, you should see a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

I am in a constant state of allergy/sinus attacks. Just about everyday and if not everyday, ever other, I’m congested sneezing running nose and constant irritation to my face along with my face feeling hot. I have cats but have had them for 5 years and this is just now a problem within the last 10 months.
Female | 24
You might be suffering from allergies - which could be the main reason for your never-ending sinus problems. Allergies can arise at any moment, even though you have become accustomed to living with your cat for a long time. The cat dander might be the one causing your symptoms to flare up. One way to improve your condition is to use an air purifier, keep your home tidy, and take the antihistamines prescribed by a dermatologist.

Ovi F tablet is prescribed by doctors for period pain or other gynecological problems. Pain or inflammation medicine will assist in the reduction of this. Normally, a tablet should be taken once a day, and you should take the prescribed dose your gynecologist told you. It is most useful when it is taken with meals and adherence to the doctor's directions is vital.
