Struggling with Acne Keloidalis Nuchae
Dear Dr. Ganesh Avhad, My name is Dr. Katarina Popovic. I am writing to you on behalf of my cousin who has a medical condition where your expertise would be appreciated. My cousin is a male in his early forties. Twelve years ago he was diagnosed with Acne keloidalis nuchae. There were three operative attempts to remove the acne, he was on various antibiotic therapies, also a therapy with Volon ampoules - all without any improvement. The acne are often bleeding. We were wondering if you have any recommendation for my cousin’s treatment. Looking forward to hearing from you. Best, Dr. Katarina Popovic

Acne keloidalis nuchae is characterized by the emergence of bumpy and painful acne on the back of the head and neck. This is a result of inflammation of the hair follicles. A dermatologist may recommend laser therapy or steroid injections to minimize inflammation for treatment. It is also advisable to keep the area clean to avoid infections.

I am having a fissured tongue and fissures in some parts of my cheeks too . I used plain yogurt for 3-4 days and the fissures were almost nil but after a week it seems like the fissures are back . It is getting hard to eat food and even my stomach feels upset.
Male | 43
You are going through a medical condition termed oral fissures, that appear on your tongue and inside your mouth. These cracks could be caused by various things such as dry mouth, infections, or lack of proper diet. Eating plain yogurt might have temporarily stopped them from appearing, but not to bring them back, make sure you drink water, eat soft food, and don't eat spicy or acidic foods. If the fissures still appear, visit a dentist/dermatologist for the necessary checks.

Really bad odor from the mouth even with good hygiene and the nose why breathing. What's wrong please
Female | 21
Sinus infection could cause it. Blocked sinuses allow odors out when you breathe. Watch for stuffed nose, coughing, and headache too. See a dentist for diagnosis, treatment to clear infection, banish odor.

I am 23 yrs old girl who is suffering from pcos , obesity . I have hair on my body as well as facial hairs . My weight is increasing. Please tell me how to control this facial hair growth without medicine This is my question I request you to please revert me the answer.
Female | 23
It sounds like you might be suffering from PCOS which is caused by hormonal disturbances. Excess body hair and obesity are the most typical signs. Unwanted hair on the chin and the upper lips may be a result of high levels of male hormones in your body. To manage hair growth without medication you could try gentle methods such as shaving, waxing, or threading. These will grant you temporary relief as the hair is removed.

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.

Isotretinoin treatment available
Male | 18
Isotretinoin helps treat deep cysts and scarring acne. This medicine works great but causes dry skin and mood swings. Only dermatologists can prescribe isotretinoin. Consult with your doctor for any further information.

Hi, is it ok to stop clarithromycin after 6 days of taking it? twice a day 500mg , and nothing improved, I was told to take it for 10 days.
Female | 39
If you have been on clarithromycin for six days and still do not feel any better, it is essential to continue your treatment plan. Typically, bacterial infections require the use of an entire course of antibiotics to eliminate the germs. Early stopping can result in the infection coming back stronger. Give it some more time and keep taking the medication as prescribed to help your body heal. If you're still not seeing any improvements after the full 10 days, it might be a good idea to talk to your dermatologist to discuss the next steps.

Dr I am suffering from acne face, my face has excess oil, Dr tell me the medicine I can take
Male | 23
Acne occurs when you have these red spots on your face caused by your skin producing too much oil. It's super common, especially during the teenage years. To help, you can use a face wash with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. These can clear up your skin by unclogging your pores.

I am a 15 year old girl. I have a huge amount of red spots underneath my skin near the inner right thing and in my vaginal pubes. It has been spreading and ongoing for about three days now. And as of today it’s been feeling kinda itchy.
Female | 15
You could have a condition on your skin called folliculitis. This happens when bacteria infect hair follicles. The affected area may have red spots, itching, or tenderness. To relieve yourself from these signs, use warm compresses on the place and make sure it is clean. If this does not improve or if the fever develops then you need to see a dermatologist who will evaluate further and give treatment.

I have so many dark spots and hyperpigmentation on my face for about 10 years so what should I do?is mela glow rich cream is helpful for the removal of dark spots and hyperpigmentation?? plz suggest any medicine for this
Female | 22
Pigmentation-related conditions or dark spots on the face may come up due to different causes. However, the sun, hormonal changes, and skin inflammation commonly constitute the main factors behind it. In the fading of these spots, you might try products containing such ingredients as vitamin C, niacinamide, or retinol. Mela glow cream might be effective, nevertheless, before applying the cream, ask a dermatologist. Never forget to use sunscreen to shield your skin.

I'm 20 year old male i had this pimple on my nose which is not going away since six months it crusts and comes back again it shows symptoms of squamous cell carcinoma please help
Male | 20
A pimple that won't disappear and crusts on your nose for six months may be a warning for something more serious. Squamous cell carcinoma, which is a form of skin cancer, can sometimes appear like this. It requires a doctor's attention. This may include a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis and a dermatologist may also suggest the best treatment which can be surgery or other options.

Salic cu glyco peeling is gud for skin?
Female | 30
Salicylic acid and glycolic acid peels can be beneficial for skin.. Both ingredients exfoliate, unclog pores, and improve skin texture .. SALICYLIC ACID is oil soluble, making it an effective treatment for acne-prone skin.... GLYCOLIC ACID is water soluble, making it a good choice for dry skin. However, these peels should only be done by a qualified professional, as they can cause skin damage if not done properly . It's important to discuss any concerns with a DERMATOLOGIST before undergoing the treatment.

my friend literally woke up with a swollen right side of her face. she had experienced pain on her mouth. the dentist could find nothing wrong and prescribed an antibiotic with no results. her face remains swollen with no discomfot or mobility problems. what would have caused this.
Female | 54
Your friend might suffer from sialadenitis, an inflamed salivary gland condition. A blockage prevents smooth saliva flow, causing swelling and pain around the jaw. Since teeth weren't problematic, glands could be the culprit. Warm compresses and water intake might ease discomfort by promoting saliva flow. However, if swelling persists, visiting a dermatologist is advisable for assessment and potential treatment.

There is ear problem My ear is wetting
Female | 48
Such a condition can arise when the fluid accumulates within your ear, which frequently occurs when swimming or showering. Some indications of this may be difficulty in hearing or the sensation of a full ear. It's best to stay away from anything that can be inserted into your ear and to consult an ENT specialist who can assist you with this problem.
