Why Do I Have Dandruff, Itching, Hair Breakage and Dry Lips?

Patient's Query

Dandruff and itching in scalp and notice some hairs breaking with white end and dry lips

Dermatology

Answered by Dr. Archit Aggarwal

These symptoms are usually signs of dry scalp. Dry lips can result from dehydration. This may come from the usage of strong hair products, insufficient water intake, or a poor diet. You can help it by using a mild shampoo, drinking more water, and eating foods that are rich in healthy fats.

Male | 25

It can cause burns and pain by touching the skin. Cold water makes it cold. Then take Ibuprofen or other painkiller plus cover it tightly with a bandage after wrapping it with moist and cool dressing.

Namaste sir, for the past 2 years I'm suffering with dark underarm. Im using 50mg thyroid tablets. No diabetic. All reports normal. Can you please suggest treatment. Im unable to ward comfortable dresses. Please suggest sir

Female | 34

Having dark underarms can sometimes be quite disheartening. The cause of this could be a condition called acanthosis nigricans. It is most often found in those individuals who have insulin resistance or are obese. Your thyroid medication could be the cause of this, as your reports are normal. Be sure you're using a gentle soap and then applying a moisturizer to the area. Discuss with a dermatologist the possibility of trying different medications.

My baby skin problem please give me solutions

Male | 1.8 months

Skin issues in infants can manifest as rashes, dryness, or redness. Common causes include allergies, irritants, or eczema. To help soothe your baby’s skin, keep it moisturized with baby-friendly lotions and avoid harsh soaps. Dress your little one in breathable fabrics and try to identify any potential allergens. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it’s essential to seek professional advice from a pediatrician for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

I have developed skin infection. It's white and reddish thick dry scaly itchy skin area.

Male | Shailesh Patel

You might be suffering from a fungal skin infection known as ringworm. Ringworm can turn your skin into white, reddish, thick, dry, and scaly. Apart from that, the skin can get very itchy. Ringworm is a type of fungus that spreads through skin-to-skin contact. To help get rid of ringworm, you can use antifungal cream. However, it would be best if you cleaned and dried the area.

I am suffering from a skin problem from the last 2 years. I have red circles and itching in my private parts. What should I do now? I have been taking medicines and ointments from the last 2 years. Still it is not cured. What should I do now?

Male | 17

The skin problem which is presented with red circles & itching in the private parts is most likely due to the fungal infection. Nowadays there are lots of such problems in fungal infections in terms of the resistance of fungal infections and also in terms of the duration of treatment that is required. Ideally, you need to go through the antifungal treatment and go to the dermatologist who will guide you with the right anti-fungal treatment for a prolonged period of time. Till all the rashes go back because even if a few rashes are also left it will come back. That is why visit the nearest dermatologist.

round like shaped rash and itchy butt cheek, what do i do?

Female | 22

Experiencing itchiness around your bottom? The culprit could be a fungal infection termed ringworm - presenting as a circular, irritating rash. Its emergence often stems from excessive perspiration or inadequate cleanliness of the area. Fortunately, treatment is straightforward: gently cleanse the affected region and apply an antifungal cream or powder. To accelerate healing, opt for loose, breathable undergarments, allowing proper ventilation.
