Can I Use Takfa Ointment Instead of Melgain Lotion?
I'm 23 year old I have pea size white patch in the upper tip of my lower lip. Doctor prescribed me melgain lotion for 40days at morning, takfa ointment 0.03% 2 times a day and cylofac capsule at night. Can I just use takfa ointment for now as I am afraid to use lotion. If the ointment suits my lips then will lotion afterwards.

The white patch you describe could be due to various causes, such as vitiligo or another skin condition. While it's essential to follow your doctor's prescribed regimen for optimal results, starting with just the topical ointment is a reasonable choice if you feel more comfortable with it. Ensure you monitor how your lips respond. However, please remember that the lotion plays a significant role in your treatment plan. If you have concerns, I recommend discussing your feelings with your dermatologist, who can offer tailored guidance and reassurance.

I saw few bumps on my chest black in color...my skin color is brown.They are few in number 3-4. I had fungal infection and I took medicine and anti fungal cream from my doctor which caused itchiness ,I started using NEEM soap which reduced those symptoms . But these bumps on chest remained , and I searched this on google and it showed extreme results so I'm concerned .please help
Male | 18
The lumps on your chest may be a frequent phenomenon doctors refer to as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It is a condition that is characterized by skin discoloration because of the old inflammatory lesions like those caused by the normal Trychophyton infection. In brief, these lumps are just the parts of your skin that were affected and are now darker because of that. Neem soap was an appropriate choice to lessen the itching, but for these bumps, it is better to let them dissipate by themselves. If you notice any changes or the bumps do not get better, then it would be a smart decision to get a consultation with a dermatologist.

Developed a pitted area on breast. What could it be?
Female | 31
There's a pitted spot on your breast area. Breast cellulitis might cause this dimpling of the skin. Trauma or infection may also lead to pitting. Get it checked by a doctor soon. Treatment depends on what's causing it, so see a doctor. Having a dermatologist look at this issue promptly is important.

Male | 28
You seem to be a long-time victim of an itchy penis and a body. Itching in these regions can be due to some infections, allergic reactions, or skin conditions as well. It is necessary to consult a dermatologist to determine the exact cause and to get the correct treatment. They can give you advice as well and help you to feel better.

I have a red whelp on my neck.
Female | 59
A red whelp appears on your neck. Potentially a harmless skin irritation could be from rubbing against something rough. Or, perhaps caused by reacting to a specific product. Sometimes bites from insects or allergies form whelps too. First, try using a cool compress and mild hydrocortisone cream. Avoid scratching, as that may worsen it. However, if symptoms persist beyond a few days, see a dermatologist.

I believe I have balanitis, I have redness foreskin, redness on tip of the penis, inflammation, and sensitive
Male | 19
Balanitis is what you are probably suffering from. Balanitis refers to a situation when the foreskin of the penis or its tip becomes red, inflamed, and sensitive. The reasons could be not cleaning the foreskin, irritation due to soaps, or even infections. To assist, guarantee that the area is kept clean and dry, avoid using harsh soaps, and you may need a dermatologist to prescribe medication.

I have red dots on my shaft (penis) and I can't figure out what they are, I've looked at pictures (regrettably) and none of them look like what I have. My first thought was pimples/acne, because I haven't had a good shower schedule nor have I had a good diet, but they don't look like pimples, they have black dots in the middle. I don't think it's itchy, at least the 4-5 bumps on the shaft, but I have maybe 2 or 3 on my scrotum that itch though. I thought bugs might be the issue but I've thoroughly checked my room and there are none. In terms of how they look, they're red, no white, 1 has black in the middle (maybe a growing hair?). I don't think it's any STIs since me and my girlfriend haven't had sex/sexual contact in months, it doesnt look like most of the ones i looked up, and this is only appearing now. I just don't know what to do about this and I need help diagnosing since I don't have the money for a doctors appointment.
Male | 18
It seems you're showing some alarming symptoms. The red bumps with black centers may be due to folliculitis (inflamed hair follicles), burn or a mild fungal disorder. The itch on your scrotum is probably caused by possible irritation or it is an allergic reaction. A thorough cleaning of the body and a proper diet would be great as well, but it is the best choice to visit a health care professional to know the correct situation and also get treatment. They have the capability to provide the relevant care and the necessary reassurance. As health should be your priority, always think about getting assistance when you have a problem.

Is small white spots on whole face a sign of deficiency in some nutrients
Female | 46
Spots on the face could be a sign of a disease, called vitiligo, associated with white color. This occurs when melanocytes, the cells which produce pigmentation in the skin, are destroyed by the immune system. The best option is to go to a dermatologist who has a lot of experience in the management of patients with vitiligo.

Male | 65, 40 and 4
Severe scabies can, in fact, be very difficult, and it is essential that it is handled properly. These small, itchy red bumps indicate an infestation by mites, which can spread if not treated effectively. It’s critical to make sure that everyone in the household is treated simultaneously to avoid reinfestation. I suggest using a prescribed topical treatment that contains permethrin or ivermectin since these are effective treatments. Keep up a high level of cleanliness; wash clothing and bedding in hot water frequently, and keep the air circulating. For personalized advice, consult a dermatologist who can also confirm the diagnosis for the right treatment.

Red rashes with water filled like chicken pox at initial stage
Male | 18
Shingles usually come in the form of red water pimples. Itching or sore sensation can also feature the shingles. The same virus is responsible for chickenpox as well. You can put a cold package and thick cloth over the painful area and get some medication for pain if needed. Rest and Avoid stress. You can also consult a dermatologist for better treatment.

I need some help not sure what to do. Not so long ago I noticed some wierd looking lines on my lower back, I figured it might be from the seats at school as they have pretty sharp wooden supports that when leaned on might make dents like that. But it has been a couple of weeks and these marks are not going away. Not I'm not so sure if it is the seats cause that would normally be gone In a couple days. If I could compare it to anything they are horizontal lines some longer some shorter, a couple of them and (it might sound a little bizarre) but they look somewhat like stab wound scars or something similar, atlast from my point of view.

It is advised to see a dermatologist who will inspect the site and give a prescribed diagnosis. They may also give treatments options that can be used to lessen the lines visibility.

Herpes zoster, also known as shingles, is caused by the same virus as chickenpox. It can lead to a rash, blisters, and pain. Since the ointment hasn't been effective, I recommend your dad see a dermatologist for further evaluation and possibly a prescription to help with the pain and healing.

Male | 20
The situation is often produced when clogged hair follicles or sweat glands are the case. A clean, dry area can help. Though it may seem innocent, the temptation to pick or squeeze can lead to infection. If they remain or are painful, it's a good idea to go to a dermatologist for more tests.

I am 26 year old male and have face black skin present I have Medisalic ointment used
Male | 26
You might be experiencing a condition called hyperpigmentation, which is when some of the skin is darker. Medisalic ointment might not be the right move since it has powerful steroids that may have adverse effects on your skin. I suggest quitting the ointment and soothing your skin with a gentle moisturizer. Additional tip - sun protection - you can cover your skin with a hat or sunscreen. If the issue persists, it's best to seek advice from a dermatologist.

Male | 19
Balanitis causes redness and swelling of the foreskin. This could happen from irritation or poor hygiene. Keep the area neat and dry. Don't use harsh soap products. Wear loose, comfortable clothing. If discomfort persists or worsens, consult a dermatologist promptly. They'll properly assess and treat the condition.

Palmoplantar psoriasis is a disease that affects your palms and the skin under your toes making them red, scaly, and itchy. It is a result of the immune system mistakenly attacking healthy skin cells. For the treatment, use moisturizers and gentle soap, cotton gloves, and socks. Your dermatologist may also recommend you apply creams or do light therapy.
