Scabies treatment reaction: Normal or cause for concern?
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?

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.

I am 28 year female.i have ithyosis vulgaris which is very itchy and dry skin is present.what can I do?
Female | 28
You might have a condition called ichthyosis vulgaris, where the skin becomes dry and itchy because it doesn't shed properly. To manage this, it's important to keep your skin moisturized with non-irritating, fragrance-free lotions. Taking warm, not hot, showers with mild soap can also help. Don’t forget to drink plenty of water, as it helps nourish your skin from the inside.

I need to know if a friend of mine have gynocomastia . He is a 17 year old boy and his nipple looks bigger for more than 4years.
Male | 17
Your friend might be the one with gynecomastia, which means swollen breast tissues in boys or men. It can be possible if the hormones are not in a proper balance during puberty. Usually, gynecomastia goes by itself, but sometimes, if it causes problems, it can be treated. Your friend should speak with a dermatologist to get more details and see if any treatment is necessary.

Pitti and kujli rash padh rahe hain aur Kyon chal rahi hai
Male | 22
The most common reasons behind this are allergies and skin irritation. You should pay attention to the products you use because they should not contain any harmful ingredients. To fight against this problem, moisturize well and avoid using soaps and chemicals that are too harsh.

I got hurt from a plastic chair and a small piece of my skin came off near my foot..It started bleeding but i didn't notice ..when i saw the wound the blood was already dried up so i cleaned it with water and didn't apply anything on it.. It's been 5 days since the injury and the wound is not healing..i applied some antiseptic cream on it later..it just hurts around that area and some kind of transparent liquid comes out occasionally.. what to do
Male | 19
The transparent liquid you see coming out is likely pus, a sign of infection. Try cleaning the wound daily with mild soap and warm water, then apply an antibiotic ointment. Keep it covered with a bandage to protect it. If it doesn't improve in a couple of days or if you notice increasing redness, swelling, or warmth around the wound, it's best to seek medical help.

I feel itching all over my body and the rashes disappear suddenly after few minutes and again appears after few hours
Female | 17
You may have a medical condition known as hives. They usually cause an itchy rash that comes and goes within a couple of minutes. They are sometimes caused by allergies, stress, or infections. Over-the-counter antihistamines and triggering agent avoidance, like certain foods or products, can help with the itching. If hives are still there or getting worse, a visit to dermatologist would be good.

I have to much hair fall… then some one recommended To use zincovit for it but I want to know some information about that is that ok for a teen girl???
Female | 22
Hair loss caused by nerves due to teenage girls’ stress, food deficiency, or changes in hormones could be the reasons besides others. Zincovit is a multivitamin that contains zinc, a mineral that is vital for hair health. It can be used by girls who have this problem. Nevertheless, in addition to a healthy diet and good stress management, better hair health is guaranteed.

My ureta and upper lips side red but no symptoms its dangerous ???
Female | 22
If your urethra and upper lip are red but you have no symptoms, then it isn't necessarily dangerous. However, the redness may sometimes occur on the skin due to the irritating action of soaps, lotions, and spicy foods. The area has to be protected from irritants while keeping it clean. If the symptoms do not go away, or you experience any discomfort, you should consult a dermatologist.

My mother has developed red patches on skin all over her body. Initially it occurs as a small red patch and then it widens and spreads . These red patches have occurred on her neck, breast, tummy, legs, head, back, elbow , everywhere. She has also developed cuts on her finger. It itches and burns very much. What is the diagnosis of this skin disease?
Female | 55
Your description of the symptoms leads me to believe that your mother has a skin condition called eczema. Eczema is characterized by the appearance of red, itchy patches on the skin. It can be caused or aggravated by certain substances or environmental factors. To alleviate the symptoms, it is necessary to maintain the skin's hydration and avoid irritants. Using mild soaps and wearing comfortable, breathable clothes can also be helpful.

I have breast pain and arm pit pain from 2 years
Female | 23
Having breast and armpit aches for a long time is unusual. It's crucial to get examined. These pains could stem from hormonal shifts, infections, or breast tissue issues. Determining the cause requires medical consultation. A doctor can suggest appropriate treatment after diagnosis.

Good evening, I do a lot of cardio like jogging, but I noticed that I may have trauma from jogging. On one of my toe nails, I have a brown line on my third toenail. I’m thinking it may occurred due to the friction of my shoes.
Male | 24
A bruised toenail might explain the brown line you noticed. Repeated pressure and friction from shoes during jogging often cause this issue. Occasionally, bleeding occurs beneath the nail. Discomfort or swelling around the toe may arise. To promote healing, ensure proper shoe fit and provide rest for your toe. Over time, this condition should resolve itself. If not, visit a dermatologist.

Hi doctor, I'm experiencing skin redness and severe itching. and it's really uncomfortable. Please let me know about regarding the cause and medications if any thanks
Male | 25
You’re dealing with a skin problem known as eczema. Eczema can make the skin red and extremely itchy because it’s inflamed. You should use mild skin care products regularly and moisturize often to help yourself. If you need relief, try using some over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream. Don’t scratch or it will get worse. In case these signs don’t go away or become worse, see a dermatologist for more help.

Male | 27
Hair loss can occur due to several reasons like stress, bad diet, or genetic factors. The signs of it are thinning hair or bald patches. To help your hair grow back, try eating a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, reduce stress, and use gentle hair care products. It can be a slow process, but hair may recover with careful treatment and perseverance!

Can i get hpv from sharing clothes , towels or my personal items or objects from someone who has genital warts ?
Male | 32
Genital warts are caused by a virus known as HPV. It is impossible to be infected with HPV through the sharing of clothes, towels, or objects of personal hygiene. The most common way for HPV to spread is through skin-to-skin contact, usually during sexual activity. The general symptoms of genital warts are the presence of small, flesh-colored bumps in the genital area. In case you happen to be concerned about HPV then the best thing to do is to talk to a healthcare provider about preventing and treating it.
