Rash on both my inner thighs... Also a patch on my upper bum area on one cheek, very itchy looks like small bumps... Abit on my scrotum dry but nothing on my penis or anywhere else on my body
Male | 27
Dermatitis might be the cause of your discomfort. A red, itchy rash develops on inner thighs, buttocks and scrotum when skin becomes irritated. Gentle soaps, loose clothing and keeping the affected area dry can alleviate symptoms. Scratching should be avoided to prevent infection. Consult a dermatologist if the condition persists for proper guidance. This information may assist in managing your condition.

Hi i m 39 year old male and need treatment like detoxing face
Male | 39
The aforementioned issues were all common skin issues that include acne, dullness, or oily skin, and were caused by factors such as stress, poor dietary habits, or pollution in the environment. A mild detoxification program can make your skin look healthier. The products that hydrate your skin, along with a well-balanced diet with lots of fruits and vegetables, regular cleansing will get you started. Exfoliation may also be favorable, but do not overdo it, please. To get the right kind of help, you should visit a dermatologist.

Am 22 yrs old currently struggling with itchy nipple on my right boob and weight loss, what can be the problem
Female | 22
It's a pretty usual thing that someone with itchy nipples on one boob and weight loss at your age might be annoyed by something called dermatitis, which is skin irritation but the reason can be your bra rubbing or not fitting right. Stress or a change in diet can also cause weight loss. Put on clothes made of soft cotton and use gentle moisturizers to help you with itching. If none of these work, see a dermatologist for the right solution.

Ling ki 4 skin treatment medicine se
Male | 22
Ling ki skin issues can arise from various factors, including irritation, allergies, or infections. Symptoms may include redness, itching, or discomfort. It’s important to identify the underlying cause to choose the right treatment. For relief, gentle cleansing and moisturizing, along with avoiding irritants, are helpful. Over-the-counter creams may also be beneficial. However, I recommend consulting a dermatologist to receive personalized advice and appropriate medication if needed.

I have like this tiny multiple lumps that looks like warts but it isn't...im guessing them to be external hemorrhoids but its not connected into the anal...the location of those lumps are not too far away from the anal. I would like to know what disease it this and how to cure it.
Male | 18
The little bumps you are describing could be harmless skin conditions such as warts or other skin overgrowths, rather than hemorrhoids, especially if they are not located near the butt. These actually thrive from several causes, e.g., friction or irritation. Often, they are benign and may not affect health much, but it’s crucial to keep an eye on any changes. Washing and not rubbing as ways to alleviate symptoms would help. I suggest that you consult a dermatologist to give you an accurate diagnosis and suggest suitable therapies for treatment.

I am woman age 22 acny on face
Female | 22
This is normal for your age. Acne happens when oil and dead cells clog hair follicles. This causes pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. Try gentle cleansers, avoid oily products, and don't pick your skin. Wash your face regularly with mild soap. You can also visit a dermatologist.

I have a keloid on my helix piercing and i would like recommendations on how to flatten it or treat it at home while still being able to keep the piercing in.
Female | 16
Keloids are bumpy scars that can appear after getting piercings. They may look like a bump and be itchy or painful. For at-home treatment, silicone gel sheets or pressure earrings can be applied to the area to help with flattening it. These keloids can be sure of your keloid's size. Remember to clean the piercing well to avoid infection. If it doesn't get better, you might have to visit a dermatologist.

Female | 24
The reasons why you might be feeling a bad smell everywhere might be a few. It may be due to sinus issues, infections, dental problems, or even neurological conditions. It may also be connected to certain medications or lifestyle habits. A better suggestion would be to drink plenty of water, keep your mouth clean, and if this problem persists, go to the dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

If there are small bumps or rashes, it could be due to allergies or irritation. Common allergies in children may cause skin reactions like hives or redness. It's important to monitor for additional symptoms such as itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing. To help soothe the skin, maintain proper hygiene and use gentle moisturizers. If symptoms persist, worsen, or if you have any concerns, please consult a pediatrician to ensure your child receives appropriate care.

Doctor, I have started feeling itchy in inner thighs. It turns out to be black and lotss of rashes are there
Female | 17
You have jock itch, which is a skin condition that grows a fungus on your skin in hot and damp regions such as the inner thighs. The list includes itching, blackening of the skin as well as rashes. Treatment of the ailment entails you having to purchase antifungal creams. This illness is one of those that often recur. Keep your skin clean and dry after training to prevent it from flaring up again.

I am getting married in August. I have very big open pores. And as my skin is oily, I have some acne also. Will microdermabrasion treatment help clear all these and make the skin surface smooth?
Female | 30
For very big open pores, the oil secretion needs to be controlled, because if oil secretion is not controlled, the pores wont reduce. For oil correction using salicylic acid based face washes, avoiding hair oil are important measures. Apart from that micro-needling or micro-needling radiofrequency, CO2 Laser are better options than just dermabrasion though microdermabrasion might have little effect on open pores.

Female | 24
Your skin is giving you a lot of trouble such as clogged pores, uneven pigmentation, acne, acne scars, and dullness. These may be caused by bacteria, the shedding of dead skin cells, and inflammation. You can try using a gentle cleanser, products that respect the skin barrier, medications that contain salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, and sun protection.

I have lots of active acne and acne marks all over on my face . If one gets better then another is coming. Also face is getting darker than my actual skin tobe and looks very dull .How to get rid of those problems
Female | 26
The skin issue you're experiencing is likely acne, a common skin condition. Acne happens when hair follicles get clogged due to extra oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. This can lead to pimples, blackheads, or acne scars, and may also cause dark spots due to inflammation.
To improve your skincare routine, start with a gentle cleanser. Avoid touching your face often and try products with ingredients like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. Also, try to limit sun exposure. If you need more help, visit a dermatologist.

Female | 19
A fungal infection seems present between your legs and private parts. Warm, moist environments allow fungal infections to occur. Itching, redness, and rashes are common symptoms. Antifungal cream from your pharmacist can treat it. Keeping the area clean and dry is crucial. Avoid tight clothing too. Consult a dermatologist if it persists.
