Crawling sensation like hair falling out on skin
Cosmetologist
Answered on 10th Oct '24
The sensation of hair falling on your skin, even when there isn’t any, can be quite uncomfortable! This feeling is known as formication. It can be triggered by factors like stress, anxiety, dry skin, or medication side effects. To help manage it, try applying moisturizer regularly, use relaxation techniques to reduce stress, and if it continues to bother you, consider consulting a dermatologist.

Ian suffering from Padar thamarai fungal infection and how to cure this problem? And I am not able to eat non veg also.
Female | 44
By Padar Fungal infection it looks like you are talking about fungal infection of the foot which might present with the flaky or itchy sole. Generally it is more on one feet or just affecting one feet. If it is affecting both feet then its asymmetrical. The treatment is you have to wear less of shoes so that sweating is less. Open footwear is most preferable. Topical and oral antifungals is the mainstay treatment but if nail is also involved then treatment has to be taken for the long time so that the reserve side of the infection is treated. Consult a dermatologist for proper consultation.

I am 18 year old and have itching in body for 1 month
Male | 18
You have been suffering from an intense heat all over your body for a month. This could be due to dry skin, insect bites, or an allergic reaction. Use a soft and gentle soap and moisturizing lotion, and avoid scratching. If the itching continues, you might want to seek out a dermatologist for advice.

It is necessary to see a dermatologist for the rashes. These rashes could be an indication that you have sexually transmitted infections like genital warts or herpes. Do not self-diagnosing or treating at home because it could aggravate the condition.

i am 26 ,my sweat,saliva,tears,vagina discharge smells the same not a normal smell
Female | 26
It seems you might have trimethylaminuria, also known as "fish odor syndrome." This condition happens when your body can't break down trimethylamine, leading to a fishy smell in sweat, saliva, tears, and vaginal discharge. There's no specific medication for this, but you can manage it by avoiding certain foods like fish and eggs. It's best to consult a specialist like a dermatologist or a metabolic disorder expert to get a professional opinion and proper guidance.

Dear Doctor, Kindly advise some good medicines or remedies for Warts on face and neck as from 6-7 months iam facing this issue, earlier it was on one on my face but during the course of time it has rapidly increased in number and now I have almost 12-15 warts on the left side of cheek and 3-4 below the jaw line and recently have developed 2 warts on my forehead, It looks very ugly and for the same reason I'm unable to shave as while shaving the warts comes in contact with the razor and it gets bleed. Please suggest good medication for the same. Thanks
Male | 41
Warts on your face and neck may be the result of a virus known as HPV. It's a widely spread disease and can be easily transmitted. To help you get rid of them, try over-the-counter treatments such as salicylic acid. The warts may slowly peel away with this. Remember to be gentle while shaving to prevent skin irritation. If they are still bothering you, see a dermatologist for further recommendations.

I'm suffering from scalp folliculitis since 2 years . I have consumed various medication as advised earlier (Tablet doxycycline, tablet metronidazole, tablet clindamycin,tablet isotretinoin).these medications ka affective only till I take the medicine and then the pustules reappear. These are very painful and very itchy .
Female | 21
This is when the hair follicles on your head become infected leading to painful sores with pus which are also itchy. I can see that the drugs that you have used before don’t seem to work well for you in the long run. One should visit a dermatologist who might prescribe stronger medications or other treatments such as medicated shampoos or creams for clearing up these infections and preventing their recurrence.

Male | 21
There is a chance you are experiencing folliculitis which is a common condition. Folliculitis is a term used to describe a situation when hair follicles become inflamed and infected. Symptoms can consist of red spots, itching, and in some cases pus formation. Friction, sweat, or bacteria are the possible culprits for this. If it doesn't improve, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist for further assistance.

My age is 18 and my skin is so dark as being teenager what should I do so that my skin start brightening
Female | 18
It is important for young adults. It is also important to be aware that skin can become dark because of factors like inherited genes, exposure to the sun, or hormonal imbalances. Taking a lot of water, eating well, and using sunscreen can be helpful if you want to lighten up your skin tone. Always use a mild soap when washing your face consider gentle cleansers and moisturizers. In case, there is no improvement visit a dermatologist who will help guide you on what should be done next since everyone’s skin is not the same as the other person's.

I've been using Clobeta Gm for my face and it works great for my skin. I've used others Creams and serums suggested by doctors and some serums by watching online suggestions but this which I brought for some fungal infection works great for my skin on my face. I've used this before about 2 years back it worked before also but I've stopped using because of fear that this might cause any problems in my future but I'm these 2 years my acne got worse I've tried all possible sources but nothing did work for my skin. After losing hope i remembered this and now I started using this and again it gave me results. I don't if something is wrong with my skin or what works for it. I just need a approval that this doesn't cause any future permanent damage in future and i also wanna know about this cream whether it is safe or not - it's clobeta GM cream ( clobetasol propionate,neomycin sulphate,miconaxole, zinc oxide and borax cream 20g) it's composition: clobeta propionate I.P 0.05% w/w ,Neomycin Sulphate I.P 0.5% w/w , Miconazole Nitrate I.P. 2.0 % w/w,Zinc Oxide I.P 2.5% w/w,Borax B.P. 0.05% w/w,Chlorocresol(as preservative) I.P. 0.1% w/w,Cream base.
Female | 19
You found Clobeta GM cream helpful. But, be careful using it long-term. Clobetasol propionate, the steroid, may thin skin or cause acne if used too long. Neomycin might irritate your skin. Miconazole kills fungus but shouldn't be used without doctor's advice over time. Consult a dermatologist to use this cream safely and avoid risks.

I often get a lump on my neck left side over the neck bone whenever I lay downward but it gets normal if I move upwards or stand... It doesn't pain
Female | 18
You seem to have a swollen lymph node on your neck. These tiny glands act as filters, trapping viruses and bacteria. They swell when fighting infection. If it's painless and shifts with your movements, it's likely harmless. However, monitor its progress closely. Persistent swelling coupled with fever or unexplained weight loss warrants medical evaluation. Consulting a dermatologist offers assurance regarding any underlying condition.

Pimple on penis shaft, not blister.
Male | 42
A tiny bump arises on your penis shaft. Wait, it's not a blister! Such pimples are pretty typical there. Likely a blocked hair follicle caused this little growth. Look for redness or discomfort around it. To help it heal faster, keep your privates fresh and airy. Don't squeeze or poke at the bump! Wear loose, comfy undies too. If the swelling persists or worsens, visit a dermatologist.

Random pink lump appeared on pubic area
Male | 18
A random pink lump adjacent to the pubic area could be an ingrown hair or a cyst. It would be wise to have it checked out by a dermatologist or a gynecologist to rule out any other disorders.

Female | 50
It is very common to see these symptoms if you have undergone an episode of toenails being torn off. This is generally due to subungual haematoma. The foot infection can be prevented by visiting a podiatrist or a specialist for treatment.

Male | 24
Burn marks happen when the skin is damaged by something hot. If it’s been there for many years, removing it without surgery may be tricky. But don’t be upset because there are a few things you can try such as using creams and getting laser treatments. The best advice on how to handle this type of situation would come from consulting with dermatologists.

I have very light black horizontal line on my fingernail
Male | 14
Typically it's nothing to worry about. These lines are usually due to small traumas to the nail or sometimes nutritional deficiencies. If the line is new and you can’t remember any injury, it’s best to keep an eye on it. Eating well-rounded meals and being gentle with your nails can help prevent these lines. If you notice any changes or other symptoms, seek advice from a dermatologist.

I suddenly move Rajasthan here temprature 48° my full body back sunburn skin damage and full body itching and pimples redness please suggest me best cream and moisturizer for speedy recovery
Male | 26
This happens when the sun’s rays damage your skin; it makes it turn red and sometimes itch or even have bumps that look like pimples. A mild lotion containing aloe plus some moisturizer should be applied frequently to speed up treatment. For now, however, take much fluid since this will help speed up recovery too; rest in a cool place without being exposed again until things get better.

Hello Doc, I am 23 (male) and I have a ringworm on my scalp for couple of years now, it's very difficult for me as people think im unhygienic but I wash my hair 2 times a day or more during summer. Please help me Doc
Male | 23
Ringworm is a common infection caused by a fungus that can result in red circular patches on the skin. The most effective method for treating this condition is by using antifungal shampoos or creams. Ensure that you keep your scalp clean and dry so as not to transmit it to anyone else by sharing hats or combs. If non-prescription medications fail to work, seek medical attention from a dermatologist.
