It may not always be painful, though it causes occasional mild pain. Such a thing can happen when there is a small sac under the skin or it is a harmless tumor. Sometimes these bumps are caused by blocked oil ducts or inflamed hair follicles. Make sure you have a dermatologist take a look at it so they can tell you for sure what it is and how to fix it.

My son is 3 years old he got hurt by beds corner on his forehead very badly on November which left very bad mark on his face i am applying scardin cream but is not that effective pls suggest what should I do

Male | 3

If the marks are just pigmentation-like, they will be corrected in due course of time with the combination of steroids and antibiotics in tropical form, and if it is a depression or scar that has to be addressed with lasers.

i am 32 year old female i have black heads problem in last 3 months and some black ots on hand and legs

Female | 32

Blackheads are small bumps that form when hair follicles get blocked by dead skin cells and excess oil. This can happen due to excess sebum, hormonal changes, or improper skin care. To reduce blackheads, use a gentle exfoliating scrub and a non-comedogenic moisturizer. Always clean your skin well to avoid irritation and prevent the urge to squeeze blackheads.

Can I use benzoyl peroxide ointment for acne

Male | 13

Acne is a frequent skin problem that affects a person's skin by pimples and redness. Acne can be managed by using benzoyl peroxide ointment. It operates by eradicating bacteria from the skin. You might notice dryness or peeling at first, but it usually gets better with time. It is important to use only a small amount and keep away from sensitive parts.

I am suffering from a postpartum hair fall issue. What should I do?

Female | 30

Up to 50% of new moms suffer from normal postpartum hair loss due to such hormonal shifts. It typically spikes around 4-5 months and subsides in a period between six to twelve months. Pay attention to general health, softer hair washing and scalp massage. If hair loss is heavy, prolonged, or associated with scalp problems then it’s advised to see a dermatologist. You are not the only one, and your hair will likely be back to normal!

I am a 22 year old female, my breasts have become more pale and sensitive as of late, and am unsure why.

Female | 22

Breasts changing color and fe­eling more sensitive­ is common. This could happen due to hormones, irritate­d skin, or blood flow changes. Look for other issues like­ pain or lumps too. If changes last or worry you, talk to a doctor for a checkup.

Hello, I have redness on my nose, I would like to get rid of it, as its not the same colour and it looks ugly. I kinda know why its red. I had erythema multiforme, after someone drank from my water bottle and i got herpes simplex, i had red dots on my hand, knees, elbows, and one on my nosebridge now its gone, but ever since i have a discolored nose. The top where it connects to the forehead is white and below its a red colour, what can I do to get back the original colour of my nose, is there any medication that can help?

Male | 21

That redness on your nose might be­ leftover swelling. Don't worry though, with some­ gentle TLC, it should fade. Be­ sure to moisturize and use mild products. Staying out of harsh sunlight (and SPF!) will also ke­ep discoloration away. It may take time, but your skin will he­al.

I face chicken pox disease from last 3 days and now I feel hot after taking fever medicine

Female | 17

After taking fever medicine, it usually happens that a person feels to be hot. Chickenpox is a virus that causes the manifestation of itchiness all around the body with red spots that turn into blisters. Fever, headache, and tiredness are the most common symptoms. Always remember to drink plenty of fluids to keep your body hydrated. Calamine lotion is useful in alleviating itching. Plenty of rest is essential.

Is it possible to get rid my stretchmark

Female | 27

Stretch marks are lines that appear on the skin when it is stretched a lot, such as during pregnancy. They may start as red or purple but gradually fade to a lighter color. To help reduce their appearance, you can use moisturizers or creams containing retinol or hyaluronic acid to keep your skin hydrated and healthy. Additionally, maintaining a healthy weight and drinking plenty of water can also help. However, remember that reducing stretch marks takes time, so be patient and stick to your skincare routine consistently.
