It sounds like you may be experiencing ingrown hair, which occurs when hair curls back into the skin, leading to inflammation. The redness and tenderness you describe are common symptoms. To relieve discomfort, consider applying a warm compress to the affected area and avoid tight clothing. Exfoliating gently can also help prevent future occurrences. While these measures often suffice, if the irritation persists or worsens, I encourage you to consult a dermatologist. They can provide tailored advice and treatment if necessary, ensuring your well-being is prioritized.

Can D rise 40,000 iu lead hair fall?? (Once per week)
Female | 20
An overdose of a large dosage of vitamin D, such as 40,000 IU weekly, can sometimes result in side effects, but hair loss is not a frequent one. Overdose symptoms of vitamin D include stomach upset, weakness, and frequent urination. Hair fall can be a potential result of a range of difficulties, such as stress, hormones, or nutrition restrictions. It is very important to share with the dermatologist any anxieties who can know your unique situation and help you find the right change or treatment. Moreover, keeping a proper diet and finding ways to cope with stress will also greatly help.

I’m a 20 year old girl noticed these little spots on my thigh off my bikini era I’m freaking out because off what google says I’m also off my period 2 days ago Whitchurch usually leaves a bit off a smell but I’m just panicking a lot
Female | 20
The spots and the smell may be due to a yeast infection, which is a kind of infection that can come after your period. yeasts. It's a super common thing among women. You may want to experiment with antifungal creams bought over the counter, wear cotton underwear, and stay away from tight clothing. In case the situation worsens, do not hesitate to consult a gynecologist.

My toe nail is split in half but not fully ot has been like it for a long time about 1 year but I thought it would grow out and the area has became yellow
Male | 14
Your toenail is split and has become yellow? This could be a fungal infection. Fungi grow in warm, moist areas like your feet. To eliminate the fungus, make sure you keep your feet clean and dry. Alternatively, you can try an anti-fungal cream that you can get over the counter. If it doesn't improve after that, see a dermatologist.

I have wart like mole on my pelvic region since 2 years. It does not itch or burn but bleeds if I pick at it from the sides. It is soft. But it is not from HPV because I am not sexually active. Kindly suggest treatment or medicine because I am getting married soon.
Female | 29
A small growth has appeared in your pelvic area. It may be a skin tag or benign mole. These are common and usually harmless. Having been present for 2 years without issue suggests no major concern. But getting checked before marriage still makes sense. A dermatologist can verify that the growth is benign. They could also discuss removal options, if desired.

Hello I have been having a skin infection of something that looks like ringworm. It starts like a pimple and later widens into different sizes. It started appearing on my thighs and is now appearing on every other part of my body except my face and scalp. There are moments when my skin is void of any but on other periods it appears almost every where with a lot on my fingers and palms. It's been on and off for more than 10 years now. I've consulted several dematologist with each having a different diagnosis and prescribing different creams to be applied on the affected spots but those have not helped me in any way. I truly do not know what else to do. Please help.
Female | 27
Ringworms often spread and return if not treated well. Fungal infections love warm, damp body areas. Antifungal creams don't always work for severe and stubborn infections. I suggest seeing an experienced dermatologist. They can evaluate your unique condition much better and recommend medications or other treatments suitable for this.

I am 23 year old male, i have tinea versicolor from years. Till now I haven't taken any oral medical or any cream. How to cure it? Its from my childhood days. Location of tinea: only back( upper back left side) WHITE PATCHES Area: one palm size. It neither increases nor decreases. No other symptoms. Please guide
Male | 23
Tinea versicolor can be treated with antifungal creams. Please apply it to the affected area twice a day for 2 weeks. If you don't see any improvement, please try oral antifungal. Also, keep the area dry and clean and avoid wearing tight clothes as this can make the affected area sweaty. If the problem does not go away still, please consult a doctor for the same.

What’s is the difference between IgG and IgM test for HSV.
Male | 28
HSV-specific IgG test is for finding the history or previous infection, while IgM test is for recent or current infection. With IgG antibodies, we can tell if a person has had the HSV before, which provides long-term immunity. While IgM antibodies show that an infection happened recently, IgG antibodies suggest that it occurred a long time ago. HSV-related problems should be diagnosed and treated by consulting a dermatologist or an infectious disease specialist as these specialists are best suited in these cases.

I am a 18 year old male, and im concerned about having herpes, both hsv 1 and 2, but im confused about what it looks like
Male | 18
No matter whether it's HSV-1 or HSV-2 can cause ulcers or blisters around your mouth or genitals as is the case with other sexually transmitted diseases. In these areas, you may experience burning, itching, or discomfort. Said viruses are easily transmitted through physical contact like kissing or intercourse. If it's herpes, get help from a dermatologist because they will diagnose and treat you.

Hi doctor, I'm experiencing severe itching and redness and would like to know the cause and medications of any. Please let me know thanks.
Male | 25
You are going through itching and redness, which could be different things. Skin irritants, allergies, insect bites, or eczema are a few of the common causes. To relieve yourself, use mild moisturizers, cold compresses, and over-the-counter antihistamines. If you continue scratching it may cause further irritation, so don't do that. If these signs do not go away or get worse then make a point of visiting a dermatologist.

My mother and brother have chicken pox. It's been 4 days and taking medicine. I have had this disease before. Is there any possibility of more coming as I am taking care of them? My father is on medication after his stroke. So, can he take preventive medicine? Is there any use in consuming it for so many days? Since we are all in one house, there is a common toilet. Cleaned with Dettol after each use. Is there a problem with that?
Female | 45
It's so cool that you worry about your family's health. As you have already had chicken pox, you are in all probabilities immune to it. Your dad who is in the process of stroke recovery should not use any preventive medicines on his own without consulting with the doctor. It is a good thing to wash the toilet with Dettol to reduce the possibility of the germs spreading. Pure, practicing the supreme rudiments and caring for one another will be enough to get by!

I'm 28 years old I have to much dark spot,pimples in my face I use cream but it not remove..sometimes it is itchy .
Female | 28
These symptoms can stem from various factors, such as hormonal changes, stress, or skin conditions like acne or eczema. Over-the-counter creams can be helpful, but results might take time, and not every product works for everyone. I recommend trying gentle, non-comedogenic products and incorporating routine sun protection. However, since you're experiencing persistent issues, it would be wise to consult a dermatologist. They can provide personalized treatment options, ensuring a targeted approach tailored to your skin’s needs.

Male | 21
This may be the said alopecia areata, a condition in which your hair forms spots and then falls. Stress, genetics, and certain illnesses are the underlying causes. The hair grows back in the majority of cases without treatment. If you find it interesting, you can consult a dermatologist, and discuss what might have caused the condition and whether there are options for treatment. ?

My mom is 50 years old she is facing some boils above her back side of neck. It's irritating and becoming worse due to the hot temperature of Delhi
Female | 50
It seems that your mother may have heat boils on the nape area and this is because the sweat ducts are blocked leading to itchy red lumps on the skin. Such things are normal during hot seasons for example in Delhi where the climate is hot most of the time. She should keep herself cool, wash that area clean, and apply warm clothes on them too so that they can get better. In case they persist or even become worse then take her to visit a dermatologist.

i have fungal infection all over groin area
Female | 30
Fungal infections in the groin can induce itching, redness, and discomfort. They are often caused by heat, dampness, and the rubbing of the skin. To reduce symptoms, make sure the affected area is kept dry and clean, and try using over-the-counter antifungal creams. In addition, wearing loose-fitting clothes can make you feel more comfortable. In this respect, it is highly recommended to see a dermatologist for proper advice.
