I am 19 year old I am suffering from scars and acne since last 4 years so how can I make my skin clear and beautiful

Male | 19

Dealing with scars and acne can be challenging, especially at your age. Both are often caused by hormonal changes, excess oil production, or bacteria. To improve your skin, consider a gentle skincare routine including a mild cleanser, non-comedogenic moisturizer, and targeted treatments like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. Regular exfoliation can also help. It’s important to avoid picking at blemishes to prevent further scarring. Maintaining a balanced diet and staying hydrated can positively impact your skin. Most importantly, I recommend consulting a dermatologist who can provide personalized advice and potential treatments.

Hello Doctor, From last couple of days I have developed a small red boil on the shaft of penis, it pains on touch. The appearance is small round red in colour with no pus formation and it pains a lot especially on touch or on friction. Kindly advise medications for the same. Thanks and Regards

Male | 40

You may have developed a condition called folliculitis. It happens when hair follicles get inflamed, usually due to friction or bacteria. The red bump on the penis shaft with pain and tenderness can be typical symptoms. For now, you can try warm compresses to help reduce pain and inflammation. Don't touch or squeeze it. If it doesn't improve or worsen, visit a dermatologist.

Male | 13

Acne is a frequent skin problem that affects a person's skin by pimples and redness. Acne can be managed by using benzoyl peroxide ointment. It operates by eradicating bacteria from the skin. You might notice dryness or peeling at first, but it usually gets better with time. It is important to use only a small amount and keep away from sensitive parts.

Hi I am 25 year old I have a scar on right cheek due to pimple,the pimple has gone but it left with a scar

Male | 25

You suffered from a pimple on your cheek that is currently a scar, which is very common. The skin may leave a mark after the healing of a pimple. Whenever skin tries to fix itself these scars form. To make the spot where it is blended with your natural complexion, use remedies such as lotions containing retinol or vitamin C.

I'm a 39 year old male, I think I have a ingrown hair in my pubic region, it's is red and sore to touch and slightly raised

Male | 39

It sounds like you may be experiencing ingrown hair, which occurs when hair curls back into the skin, leading to inflammation. The redness and tenderness you describe are common symptoms. To relieve discomfort, consider applying a warm compress to the affected area and avoid tight clothing. Exfoliating gently can also help prevent future occurrences. While these measures often suffice, if the irritation persists or worsens, I encourage you to consult a dermatologist. They can provide tailored advice and treatment if necessary, ensuring your well-being is prioritized.

I'm 19 years old. Female. My face is full of tiny bumps, whiteheads, blackheads and dark spots.. I've been using salicylic acid from around 2 months now. But now I'm getting more tiny bumps all around my face and my face is getting dark.. is it purging or I'm using a wrong product..

Female | 19

Small pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, and dark spots appearing together is no fun. Sometimes salicylic acid makes things seem worse initially, a process called "purging." If it's been two months without improvement, that product might not work for your skin type. A simple solution: talk to a dermatologist for advice tailored to your needs.

I am 21 year old boy suffering from small white bumps in my penis foreskin and it was very difficult to open it.so I want to cure it.

Male | 21

This situation seems consistent with the symptoms of smegma. Smegma, with oil and dead skin cells, builds up in the creases of the skin, such as the foreskin of the penis. This leads to dermal white dots that are hard to move back and forth under the skin. Cleaning the area daily with chat water to take care of the white bumps. You should avoid rough soap or excessive force when scrubbing the area. If you still can't find a solution, you should go to a dermatologist.

I'm 25 years old and have developed a rash on my ankle. It started really small and has increased massively since returning from holiday. It's extremely itchy and uncomfortable.

Male | 25

You have developed contact dermatitis. This is a condition caused when the skin reacts to something it has touched, such as a new lotion or plant. The affected area usually becomes red, swollen, and itchy with small blisters or hives. Try to remember if there was anything different that you came into contact with before the rash appeared. To relieve itching apply cold compresses and mild lotions. If there are no changes after several days, see a dermatologist for help.

Female | 20

If you've used steroids frequently, quitting them may make your skin look lifeless and discolored. That's because steroids impact how skin produces pigment. To improve your skin, you'll need medical help to slowly reduce then stop using steroids. Be patient - recovery takes time. Eat well, drink water, and wear sunscreen. See a dermatologist if you're worried about your complexion or have other concerns.

I am 54 and have had a swollen, red, itchy, scaly skin leg from the knee to the toes. I’ve been to the doctor 3 times and they checked for a blood clot and ran tests. No clots. Tried 2 different antibiotics that were prescribed and no change. Icing doesn’t change. Elevation doesn’t change. Compression socks doesn’t change it either. Resting it doesn’t help either.

Male | 54

It seems that you have a resistant skin problem on your leg. The redness, swelling, itching and flakiness could indicate different illnesses such as dermatitis or eczema. After excluding blood clots and failure of antibiotics treatment, it might be helpful to have them checked more thoroughly by a dermatologist. They can suggest different kind of therapy which will be more efficient taking into account the exact nature of the disease.
