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 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.

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.

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.

Hello doctor, In normal days I losing 70 hairs per day but In hair wash time I losing so many hair.what product I use doctor?
Female | 27
Hair loss is common; around 70 strands are shed daily. But losing more during washing raises concern. Several factors contribute - stress, poor nutrition, and harsh products. To minimize fallout, use gentle shampoo and conditioner. Avoid tight hairstyles restricting growth.

I am Siddhartha Banerjee of 50 years feeling pressure sore just at the middle of my chest under the skin beside of a lump. Observed reddish area beside the lump from where the pain comes. Please suggest me what to do.
Male | 50
The issues you mentioned like sore spots, lumps, and red areas may indicate an abscess. This infection occurs when bacteria enters the skin. Keep the affected area dry and clean. Use warm compresses for pain relief. However, if symptoms don't improve or worsen, seek proper medical assessment and treatment from a dermatologist promptly.

I have blisters all over my body, mouth, and genitals. Different sizes some filled with more pus than others.
Female | 18
You have something called ‘Herpes’ which is a condition caused by a viral infection in different sizes around the body parts, mainly the mouth, and genitals where one gets blisters filled with pus. These sores can hurt but they will disappear over time. Don’t burst them open and keep the place dry and clean. Visit a dermatologist for further treatment.

Hi, I've recently noticed I some wart like lumps have appeared near in and around my eye I had this issue last year which I removed them myself I'm just slightly concerned as to why they have come back?
Male | 36
Wart-like bumps near your eye that recur might result from HPV. This virus causes warts on skin. Symptoms are small, raised, maybe itchy or painful bumps. For treatment, see a dermatologist. They'll properly remove using freezing or medication. Treating prevents warts from spreading and worsening.
