Female | 41
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

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.

My dad has a white patch near chest. Is it worrisome
Male | 62
A white patch on the neck could be a condition called pityriasis versicolor, caused by yeast growth on the skin. It usually leads to white patches without other symptoms. Anti-fungal creams or shampoos prescribed by a dermatologist can help treat it. Keeping the area clean and dry is also important.

The head of my penis is itchy, and there are red spots on it. I havent had sex with multiple people at least 2 years, and my girlfriend is also faithful. Basicly it is not something too serios i guess. But still it is enoying and hurting a little bit also. So i need help figuring out what to do?
Male | 18
You might have balanitis, which is capable of causing itching, red spots, and also discomfort on the head of the penis. Balanitis can occur due to the lack of proper hygiene, irritants, or infections. To assist with this, clean the area with mild soap and water, keep it dry, and avoid irritants like scented soaps or tight clothes. If the symptoms remain, it is advisable to visit a dermatologist for a more detailed diagnosis and treatment.

What to do to get rid of blackheads on the face. And to brighten the face
Male | 25
Blackheads are minuscule black spots on your skin. They are a result of oil and dead skin blocking the pores on the skin. To clarify them, gently wash the pores once daily, never neglect the exfoliation part, and the third thing is to apply a non-come-genic moisturizer. Besides you can try using salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide products. Don't forget to wash your face thoroughly and moisturize it.

I am a 25 year old male and I have a skin condition around my testicles. It has been for over 2 years now. It appears to be a like a patch on the skin around my testicles. I recently got married 3 months ago. About a week ago, my crotch started giving out a pungent smell similar to that of chlorine despite washing it several times a day. Also, I observed small rashes on my scrotum and the skin peels when scratching it. Please I need your help.
Male | 25
You might have a skin condition known as tinea cruris, or jock itch. This is a fungal infection that often affects the groin area. Symptoms include red, itchy patches of skin, a bad smell, and peeling skin. It can be caused by sweating, tight clothing, or poor hygiene. To treat it, it is important to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose clothing, and use antifungal creams.

Female | 28
You need to use a vitamin C serum that can contain up to 10% L-ascorbic acid so that it can help to lighten the spots on the skin and improve its complexion. Regular acne and scarring should be taken by the dermatologist. I suggest obtaining a dermatologist’s opinion.

Female | 14
It seems like your skin is dry and lacks brightness; besides the pimple scars on your nose. Skin becomes dull due to lack of water in it. Spots get darker as a result of spots. Drink water and wash your face regularly using mild soap then apply lotion too. In addition, you can wear sunscreen to prevent the darkening of these patches further.

I recently had a anal warts removal surgery
Male | 26
Following your recent surgery to remove anal warts, it's essential to monitor your healing process. Symptoms may include mild discomfort or changes in bowel habits, which are generally normal as you recover. Anal warts are commonly caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), and while the procedure removes visible growths, it's crucial to practice safe habits to prevent recurrence. Maintaining hygiene, avoiding irritants, and scheduling follow-up appointments with your healthcare provider can ensure effective care. If you notice any unusual symptoms or have concerns, please consult your dermatologist for personalized advice.

Female | 35
Your period lasting an entire month is abnormal. Swollen feet, painful sores on the skin, and lumps on legs are worrisome signs. These symptoms may indicate hormonal imbalance or infection. It is crucial to consult a gynecologist promptly for examination and treatment. Neglecting these issues could lead to complications. An accurate diagnosis is essential to address the underlying cause effectively.

Male | 20
The appearance of sagging or wrinkle skin can be lessened by improving skin tightening and plastic surgery. Collagen regeneration is done through the use of heat or energy devices that can lift and firm the skin. If you end up choosing body skin tightening, it is very imperative that you visit a doctor who specializes in this field and discuss your concerns as well as determine a good treatment plan.

My two year old daughter have darkening in colour around her lips
Female | 2
Darkening around the mouth can be caused by several factors, including irritation from drooling or a reaction to certain foods. Sometimes, it may also be related to dryness or sun exposure. Ensure your daughter’s lips are well-moistened and protect her skin from harsh sunlight. If the discoloration persists or worsens, it's best to consult a pediatrician. They can provide a thorough evaluation and appropriate guidance. Remember, many skin changes in children are harmless and resolve on their own with proper care.

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?
Male | 21
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.

been diagnosed with scabies and applies permethrin cream on the 3rd of april. after research i can see improvements are not quick to see but i am seeing a much larger increase of rashes on different parts of my body that weren’t there and the existing ones, like my left hand, looks like the rashes have developed bumps and look more prominent. is this a normal reaction to the cream and should i be worried that it has made it worse? should i try ignore it until my second treatment?
Male | 20
Are rashes getting worse after using permethrin cream? Relax, that's normal. The mites are dying, which can cause irritation and make the rashes appear worse briefly. Don't worry—this means the treatment is working. Keep at it steadily and follow the instructions carefully. Contact a dermatologist if symptoms escalate severely or if discomfort spikes alarmingly.

Im affected by Psoriasis Please advise to cure the problem..... If it possible to cure completed or controlled
Male | 27
Psoriasis is a type of skin disorder that lasts for a long time. It is typically marked by red, dry patches which may itch and hurt. It has to do with an immune response that is too active, hence, the cells in the skin multiply much faster than they should. Even if there is no actual solution for it, there are methods that help keep the symptoms under control and manage them. Some of the available drugs for the treatment include ointments, phototherapy, and drugs that work throughout the body. Besides the drugs, lifestyle changes like a good diet and stress control are beneficial as well. I advise you to find a dermatologist who can assist you in developing a personalized plan through the evaluation of your needs.
