Answered on 23rd Sept '24
It is possible that the black vertical line on the boy's thumb nail is a result of a melanonychia striata, which is a linear nail melanin pigmentation. It is relatively common in children and is generally harmless. However, it is important to have it evaluated by a doctor, especially if it is growing, to rule out any underlying medical conditions.

my friend literally woke up with a swollen right side of her face. she had experienced pain on her mouth. the dentist could find nothing wrong and prescribed an antibiotic with no results. her face remains swollen with no discomfot or mobility problems. what would have caused this.
Female | 54
Your friend might suffer from sialadenitis, an inflamed salivary gland condition. A blockage prevents smooth saliva flow, causing swelling and pain around the jaw. Since teeth weren't problematic, glands could be the culprit. Warm compresses and water intake might ease discomfort by promoting saliva flow. However, if swelling persists, visiting a dermatologist is advisable for assessment and potential treatment.

My daughter has a small raised bumps on her Arms and legs my gp won’t see her until next week
Female | 8
From what you say, your daughter may be a candidate for a common skin condition called keratosis pilaris. It leads to small, raised bumps on the arms and legs. Potentially, these bumps may be rough and can be either red or flesh-colored. Keratosis pilaris is the result of the skin cells blocking hair follicles. Suggest her to use a scrub and moisturizing creams to help skin improvement. Stay away from rubbing or scratching the bumps. If the bumps don't disappear or get more severe, take her to a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis.

The outside could be an indicator of an underlying medical condition for a month’s duration of itching. It may be associated with allergies, skin infections and even long-term skin conditions like eczema. I recommend a visit to a dermatologist.

Sporicine and Azithromycin are antibiotics commonly used to treat bacterial infections. However, the correct treatment depends on the type of infection you have. It is best to consult a physician or infectious disease specialist to determine the proper medication and dosage for your condition.

There is inflammation on my knuckles, with one on my right hand and another on my left hand. I am experiencing pain when touching the affected areas. Despite a month passing, the swelling has not improved. Furthermore, I have an insect bite on one hand that is excessively itchy, red, and painful to touch. The bite is of a significant age.
Female | 17
If the inflammation in your knuckles isn't improving and you're also dealing with an itchy, red, and painful insect bite on one hand, it could be making things worse. Knuckle inflammation can result from conditions like arthritis or skin issues. However, insect bites can cause similar symptoms and may worsen if scratched. To help, keep the affected areas clean, avoid scratching the bite, and use ice packs or over-the-counter medication for relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to see a dermatologist for proper treatment.

I have used demelan cream for face to reduce dark spots. Now my skin is became red and like burning sensation.
Male | 23
You might have an allergic reaction to the demelan cream. Irritation of some type of ingredient may cause redness and a burning sensation in the cream. It's best to stop using the cream immediately and wash your face with gentle soap and water. Soothing the skin with a calming moisturizer is recommended. However, if the symptoms persist, you should consult a dermatologist.

having skin underarms red and pores
Male | 22
The reason for the problem might be enlarged pores and redness of the skin under your arms. This can be due to a combination of friction from your clothes, too much sweating, or using too strong chemicals on the skin. As a suggestion, try to wear more loose clothes, use soap that has no fragrances, and keep the area dry. If the situation doesn't improve, visit a dermatologist for more options.

I am 22 years old and I am facing with eczema on my finger it's kind of a dry itchy and small swellings on that finger and that spreading on other fingers of my hand too I have tried many creams but it helps temporarily and again the condition continues.. what should I do?
Female | 22
When ignored, eczema can cause dry, itchy skin with small bumps that may spread to other fingers. This condition is usually not contagious but uncomfortable. Eczema may be brought about by allergens or irritants present in the environment or stressors at home or the workplace. To manage this kind of problem, always keep the skin moisturized all the time; avoid anything that triggered the outbreak such as harsh detergent soaps among others–instead use mild ones which are readily available over-the-counter (OTC) drugs like hydrocortisone creams can also work effectively if prescribed by doctors specializing in treating diseases related with epidermis.

I am a 19 year old female. Within the past 6-10 months I’ve noticed my body hair getting darker, (not thicker,) in certain areas. I was wondering if this was normal and, if so what is the cause(s)? I do not think i have pcos, but I’m not sure if i should be concerned. Thank you!
Female | 19
The darkening of body hair in certain parts due to hormonal fluctuations does not mean something is wrong. This can be due to genetic and hormonal factors as well as environmental and behavioral aspects. Nevertheless, if along with dark hair you also have other symptoms like not having periods over long periods or having excessive hair growth, it is helpful to seek assistance from a dermatologist and do some tests for any irregularities.

I recently got Botox, and after that, I started losing a lot of hair. Even though I had hair loss before, now I am losing a lot more. Is this related to Botox side effects?
Female | 26
Hair loss after Botox is uncommon but can occur in some individuals. A reassuring fact is that it is generally temporary. Stress or the discharge of hormones can be responsible for hair loss, which medicine indicates can be Botox injections. In addition to hair loss, it's important to stay on a healthy diet, and cope with stress, and your hair to give extra care, if you want to help with hair loss. If the hair loss continues or worsens, consult a dermatologist for further advice.

My skin is getting dark , I want to glow my skin and I want to reduce my white hair
बुरी तरह | 27
Darkening of the skin and white hair are often the first signs of aging. Sun exposure and certain medications may be the causes of the skin color becoming darker. Gray hair may appear if the pigment cells in the hair follicles stop producing color. Sunscreen and drinking water can make your skin agile and healthy. Moreover, eating well can be a good measure. For white hair, stress management and a well-balanced diet are helpful. Visit a dermatologist if you are concerned.

Cheeks acne child.. my son named kiaan is having small small acne on cheeks..
Male | 6 yrs
It is quite normal for children to have breakouts on their cheeks. Acne appears as little lumps or blackheads anywhere on the skin. These are caused when the pores in your skin, which are small holes, get clogged up with oil and dirt. This might happen due to hormones or not cleaning the face properly. Clean his face softly using mild soap and never poke or press these pimples because it makes them spread more. One can also consume nutritious foods, drink lots of water as well as sleep for long hours which can lead to better looking skin. In case this condition persists without any changes then it would be wise for one to seek help from a dermatologist.

Mere penis me infection ho gya hai aur 3saal se chhuti nahi raha hai mai kya karu
Male | 21
Get rid of the infection in your penis as quickly as possible because it is untreated. Infections are responsible for causing redness, swelling, itching, pain, or discharge. Leaving it untreated for 3 years is risky and can lead to more serious problems. Make sure that you are cleansing the area with water and mild soap on a daily basis. In addition to this, keeping the area dry and avoiding tight clothing will also be beneficial. If the infection does not improve, then you must see a dermatologist for proper treatment.

Hi, I had sclerotherapy done on Wednesday last week. My veins look a lot worse, they as re purple and more visible, there is no brusing and they are also quite sore to the touch/I can feel tiredness in my legs. My doctor said I may have had an allergic reaction to the therapy because I am on holiday in a hot country (Brazil) and prescribed me an antihistamine. Will the veins eventually fade or will I need more treatment?
Female | 28
Bruising and discomfort after sclerotherapy are natural which normally resolves within a few days. But since you said your veins look worse and are more visible after the procedure could indicate a complication. It's good that you have already spoken with your doctor, but still experiencing discomfort or have any concerns, follow up with them promptly.
In some cases the veins may fade on their own over time, but if the issue is related to the sclerotherapy procedure, additional treatment can be needed. Its best to follow up with your doctor to discuss your options and determine the best treatment.

Dear sir last two years I am suffering from skin irritate and red colour round patch on all over my body and head also. I am 25 years old. I already use medicine such as . ELICASAL cream and Methotrexate tab but no cure well. I request you sir please give me medicine composition that I purchased anywhere.
Male | 25
You may have eczema. It makes your skin turn red, — it also spreads. What works for one person may not work for another so maybe you should try putting on some lotion that has ceramides or colloidal oatmeal in it to calm down the itching. Ask the dermatologist about methotrexate if it’s bad enough—but there are other things they could give instead like corticosteroids or phototherapy treatments too.

Face swelling due to cold
Male | 38
When you have a cold, your face may swell as your body fights off germs, increasing blood flow to the area. This extra blood can make your face look puffy. Rest, hydration, and a cold compress can help reduce the swelling. However, if it persists or gets worse, it's important to consult a doctor, as it could indicate something more serious than a regular cold.

Itching and discomfort back of ears and hand
Male | 31
You may be having some itching and other issues specifically at the back of your ears and hands. This is often caused by dry skin, allergies, or even certain products. Try relaying to your skin whether it is moisturized enough, using mild soaps, and not wearing irritating clothing. If the problem does not go away when the medication is started, a dermatologist can help you find out the best treatment.

I got the cut from the barber trimmer is it the chance of getting hiv virus from that trimmer ?
Male | 21
You are very unlikely to get HIV from a barber trimmer. HIV is not spread by inanimate objects like trimmers but through fluids that carry the virus, such as blood. Look for symptoms such as fever or maybe pimples but always keep in mind the probability of this happening is extremely low.

Hi i am facing hair fall problem can i take keraboots tablet
Female | 21
Hair loss is a big problem for many people and the causes can be different like stress, bad nutrition, or hormonal imbalance. Keraboots tablets potentially can mitigate your hair fall issue as they are filled with the vitamins you are missing out on. However, proper nutrition which includes a well-balanced diet and caring for your hair should be the foundation of a healthy lifestyle. If the problem still does not go away, it is wise to talk to a dermatologist for more guidance.
