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

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'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.

I am a 21 year old male guy who has been taking medications since last 3-4 years for my acne treatment. It has been effective too but every summer it occurs back. I just wanted to know does laser treatment works for acne prone skin?

Male | 21

Hi. Acne is a recurrent problem especially in youth. You can go for a course of Retiniods for Almost complete remission from acne. But first you need to get some blood tests as advised by a certified dermatologist before starting the course. You need to be monitored by dermatologist during the course.

Coming to your Question about Laser , if you are asking does laser helps in acne ? No. Laser is used to treat Acne scars not acne itself. Chemical Peels can be used for Quick and effective treatment of acne.

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.

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.
