At this age, hair fall and thinning can be upsetting. These problems can be due to various factors like heredity, stress, diet, or hormonal changes. Minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used together to stop hair loss and promote hair growth. It is best to visit a dermatologist to know how often to use them. Starting the treatment is the first step to improving your hair condition, but you should also be patient and wait for some time to see the results.

Pimple on penis shaft, not blister.
Male | 42
A tiny bump arises on your penis shaft. Wait, it's not a blister! Such pimples are pretty typical there. Likely a blocked hair follicle caused this little growth. Look for redness or discomfort around it. To help it heal faster, keep your privates fresh and airy. Don't squeeze or poke at the bump! Wear loose, comfy undies too. If the swelling persists or worsens, visit a dermatologist.

Remove skin tags near the eye area around three tags
Female | 61
Skin tags are little bumps on the skin. They sometimes appear by the eyes. Many things can make them grow, like rubbing or hormones. If a skin tag bothers you, bleeds or hurts, a dermatologist can remove it safely. They'll take it off quickly and easily. Don't worry! Skin tags aren't dangerous.

Hello doctor! I have a daughter and she is 4months old.. She is having skin allergy on cheeks.. Dry, itchy, and sometimes water comes out on her skin due to continues itching. Please suggest some cream. I have used atogla, cetaphil, fucidin.. But condition is still the same.
Female | 4
If the rash is occurring on cheek in 3-4 months old child is most probably due to atopic dermatitis which is dry irritated skin condition resulting in itching and oozy skin. This might also effect other body parts like face, neck, front of elbows, back of knees and child might become irritated. It has to be managed with syndate bars or soaps, proper moisturizers, avoiding the irritants and oral or topical steroids. Proper consultation with dermatologist is advisable.

I AM 29 YEAR MALE MY NOSE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE MOLE WHAT SHOULD I DO
Male | 29
Moles on your nose seem ordinary and usually don't cause harm. Their appearance could stem from genes or being exposed to sunlight. If these moles maintain their size, shape, and color, there's typically no reason for concern. Still, monitoring them closely and using sunscreen to shield your skin remains advisable. If any changes occur, consult a dermatologist.

I am 16 year old and I am suffering from hair thinning, hair loss and dandruff what do I do??
Male | 16
You’re battling with hair thinning, hair loss, and dandruff at only 16. Stress, poor diet, or genetics can cause hair to get thin and fall out. Dandruff is often because of dry skin on your head or another condition that affects the scalp. Use a mild shampoo for dandruff and eat well for healthier hair growth. Speaking with a dermatologist may provide additional assistance.

Can you wear acrylics nails for a tonsillectomy
Female | 15
Acrylic nails aren't recommended before tonsillectomy surgery. Those fake nails could harbor germs, making hand hygiene tricky. During tonsillectomy, doctors remove tonsils, often due to infections or breathing issues. Clean hands prevent surgical site infections, so natural nails are only for this procedure. Wait until you've recovered fully before getting acrylics again.

Iam 28years old female Iam having small bumps in bikini area I want it to be treated
Female | 28
It looks like ingrown hairs in your bikini area might be what you are possibly struggling with. These little bumps occur when hair doubles back into the skin rather than growing out. They sometimes lead to redness, itching, or even pain. To assist in healing this, softly scrub the area, shun tight clothes, and think about warm compresses. If the problem persists, visit a dermatologist.

I have been suffering from acne since last 4 years, I have tried everything but till now the acne has not gone away, what should I do now to get rid of the acne
Male | 17
Acne occurs when hair follicles are clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It is normal during puberty because of hormonal changes. To help clear up acne, attempt washing your face with a mild cleanser twice a day, and do not pinch or pick the pimples. Moreover, benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid over-the-counter treatments can also be useful. In case these do not work, it is necessary to see a dermatologist.

I’m an 18 year old female, and last week on Friday/Saturday I started coming up in raised itchy bumps, it looks like a rash, but we presumed it was psorisis due to me having occasional ecsma so I’ve been using aquous cream etc but unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be going is is spreading, so we think it may be a rash/allergic reaction now
Female | 18
You have a rash that is itchy and spreading to me. An allergic reaction or skin irritation might be the reason behind this. It's possible that what you touched earlier was triggering it. You should use anti-itch cream and stop scratching. Shouldn't it get better, a dermatologist will be better to talk to as they provide such services.

There is a red lump that looks like a boil near my vaginal area specifically bikini line. It hurts. What could this be
Female | 22
You might have an abscess or infected hair follicle lying on your waist area. This is a scenario that happens quite often when a person gets an irritation caused by friction or shaving of the skin. I strongly suggest consulting with a gynecologist or a dermatologist for the definitive diagnosis and the right treatment.

Recent onset problem may be related to some benign skin disorders like eczema. However it may be the presentation of an 'in situ' type of breast cancer or a breast cancer inside the breast tissue. You must visit a surgical Oncologist and if needed a skin specialist

I am 21 years old and I had dark spot on my face so I used this cream light up which now peeled up my skin and I don’t know what else I can do now
Male | 21
The dark spot on your face might have been due to excessive melanin, which the cream is reported to be a lightener of. Nevertheless, it appears it was too strong for your skin to bear. At that moment, first of all, it is critical to discontinue the use of the cream. To renew your skin, you can rub a mild cream and shield your skin from the sun. Allow your skin to rest for a while before introducing new products again. Should the peeling go on or other worrying symptoms appear, it will be best for you to get counseling from a dermatologist.

You Suggest Me that i can get cleanup on face because I am teenager
Male | 19
Most youngsters need a face cleanup. When you see that your pores are clogged, whether it is blackheads, or pimples, the cause of these things can be either dirt, bacteria, or skin oil production. Aside from that, do not forget to cleanse your face twice a day with a mild oil-free cleanser, to make your face glow and not raise the probability of skin infection, use a face moisturizer and do not keep touching your face.

Male | 44
It seems you have been stung by some bug which punctured your skin. This can cause sudden redness, intense pain, and itching. You need to clean the place softly with water and soap, and then apply an antiseptic cream. Finally, put an adhesive bandage on it to help it heal. If it intensifies or you feel weak, you can contact a dermatologist.

The most common causes of a defect on the lip can be injuries, infections, or allergies. Symptoms might include pain, swelling, or redness. To help, keep the area clean, avoid irritants, and consider using a lip balm with soothing ingredients like aloe vera or coconut oil.
