This could indicate an injury, like something heavy dropped on your toe. Or, it might mean a fungal infection has taken hold. Keep watching the affected nail carefully in case symptoms worsen. If pain increases, discoloration spreads, or other nails become involved, see a dermatologist.

My name is Kali my problem is skin chulkani hoyeche.
Female | 30
I understand you're dealing with skin itching. Itching can occur when your skin becomes dry and rough, often due to not drinking enough water, using harsh soaps, or cold weather. To manage it, make sure to drink plenty of water, apply moisturizer gently, and avoid harsh soaps. Also, protect your skin from the cold by wearing gloves and scarves.

Namaste sir, I am Hariprasad getting rash on my body for nearly one month. I have taken treatment from a skin doctor. For time being it appears to cure. But the problem is the reddish rashes circulating in my body. The swelling appears sometimes at thies, sometimes on the back side, sometimes back side of the neck. sometimes ittiching in head also. At the beginning I thought this because of spider bite. Now whom to consult and what types of tests required. Please suggest me sir.

You seem to have a lingering rash that's swollen and itchy in some areas of your body. These signs might link to allergies, infections, or other skin issues. To pinpoint the cause and get proper care, visit an allergist or dermatologist. They may suggest allergy tests or skin biopsies to identify what's behind your rash. Diagnosing and treating it early on could help ease symptoms faster.

I am a 19 year old female. I have had a red patch on the inside of my upper lip for around 4 and a half weeks that hasn’t gone. Sometimes it’s painful, and it regularly tastes metallic. I’m not sure what this is or how to treat it
Female | 19
You may be dealing with a condition called oral lichen planus, which can cause painful red spots in your mouth that taste metallic. Don't worry, it's not contagious. The exact cause is unknown, it might be linked to the immune system. To ease the discomfort, avoid hot or sour foods and use mild mouth rinses while keeping your mouth clean. If these tips don't help or your symptoms worsen, make an appointment with a dermatologist to get a proper diagnosis and discuss further treatment options.

So about a week ago i was prescribed some antibiotics for my UTI. He also prescribed me fluconazole in case the antibiotics he gave caused a yeast infection. I kinda noticed the antibiotics wasn’t helping bc it was still hurting when i urinate and during sexual intercourse along with it still being red down there and so i took the fluconazole last night and a few before i took it i noticed like 3 red bump like things in the left side crease of my private, i was bit scared of what it might be, i woke up it didn’t look as bad but there was a few more. it has been itching bc of the yeast infect and it hasn’t been itching these past two days but im a little nervous on what the little bumps could be. could it maybe be from the yeast infection or sweat bumps or what
Female | 18
Perhaps you have a yeast infection or a fungal infection in the private area. Yeast infections can cause redness, itching, and sometimes small bumps. These bumps are most likely due to the infection and not sweat bumps. To help this, complete your prescribed fluconazole and ensure the area is clean and dry. Avoid tight clothing and wear cotton underwear. If the symptoms do not go away or get more severe, it’s always good to check with your urologist.

Dry or frizzy Hair ko kaise sahi kare is recommended oil and shamphoo
Male | 18
Are you troubled by dry and frizzy hair? Signs include coarse, tangled strands lacking shine. This could be due to dryness or harsh products. To help, use coconut oil if your hair is oily, and opt for sulfate-free shampoos. Also, avoid washing with hot water. These steps should help you achieve silky, soft hair.

Female | 22
Acne can cause by hormonal changes, stress, genetics, or other factors. If you have acne that is filled with pus, it is likely that you have an infection. Consult a dermatologist as soon as possible in order to get the proper treatment. You may need topical medication, an antibiotic or other treatment to get rid of the infection and reduce the breakouts. Keep your skin clean and moisturized, avoid touching your face again and again, and limit your exposure to dust and pollution.

Itching eczema or dermatitis
Male | 24
When your skin feels itchy, turns red and sometimes swells up it's called itching eczema or dermatitis. This could happen if your skin is sensitive to things such as soap, fabrics even stress. To relieve the condition, consider mild bathing soaps, and gentle moisturizers as well as resist scratching at all costs. If this doesn’t work out then you should see a dermatologist who can prescribe some special creams

Is it possible to get rid my stretchmark
Female | 27
Stretch marks are lines that appear on the skin when it is stretched a lot, such as during pregnancy. They may start as red or purple but gradually fade to a lighter color. To help reduce their appearance, you can use moisturizers or creams containing retinol or hyaluronic acid to keep your skin hydrated and healthy. Additionally, maintaining a healthy weight and drinking plenty of water can also help. However, remember that reducing stretch marks takes time, so be patient and stick to your skincare routine consistently.

I have acne scars which topical creams are best to use
Male | 24
Topical creams having retinoids, glycolic acid, and vitamin C are quite helpful in fading away the appearance of the scars. Nevertheless, you need to confer with a dermatologist if you are going to opt for a skin cream and the specialist can guide you with a better treatment plan that is unique to your type of skin and the extent of your scars.

Pimples appearing on face which is best gel clindamycin phosphate gel with benzoyl peroxide or clindamycin phosphate gel with niacinamide??
Female | 21
Pimples can be annoying, but there are solutions to help. These spots come from blocked pores and germs. A gel with clindamycin phosphate and benzoyl peroxide can kill bacteria and reduce swelling. Alternatively, clindamycin phosphate with niacinamide may be better for redness and irritation. Both options work well, so you should pick the one best for your skin type. Not sure which to try? Start with one, then switch if it doesn't help.

Can I take acetaminophen( allergies) and melatonin together or wait?
Female | 27
Taking acetaminophen and melatonin is usually not a problem. It gets rid of headache and also fever. This way you will avoid being affected by the injury for long since it will quicken your sleep. Even so, you should take the right amount of each medicine. If you have any worries or strange feelings it is best to talk to your doctor or pharmacist first.

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.

Have some white dots in a cock
Male | 24
Spotting small white dots on your skin can feel a bit odd. Those little specks are likely Fordyce spots. These harmless bumps happen when oil glands get bigger than usual. Fordyce spots are super common, and lots of people have them. They're no big deal and don't need any special treatment. Keep washing your body like normal. If the spots bother you or seem unusual, it's a good idea to chat with a dermatologist. But in most cases, Fordyce spots are simply a natural part of healthy skin.

Hello doctor , a cold sore under nose has left dark mark what to do regarding it
Female | 26
You have a dark mark left after a cold sore under your nose. A herpes simplex virus causes a cold sore. The sore is a part of the healing process, but it can leave behind a dark spot. This is the usual case. To help it fade, you can try using a cream with ingredients like vitamin C or kojic acid. Sunscreen use is always the first and essential skincare routine. With time, it should get better.

Hi..doc..my is my toungue very dry and sour..and also my penis head ia dry too..i have try anti fungal pill and cream..it doesnt work also..is it seriious..what should i do..?
Male | 52
These symptoms can sometimes be caused by conditions like dehydration, oral thrush, or even a skin condition. It's nice that you took the anti-fungal medicine, however, if it did not work, there might be another problem. Schedule an appointment with a dermatologist so they can evaluate your symptoms and give you the most appropriate advice and treatment. Also, this thing can be relieved by water intake which is very important in this.
