Experiencing Beard Patchiness with Alopecia Areata?
I have alopecia areta. On beared coin type patches
Cosmetologist
Answered on 13th Feb '25
Alopecia areata causes patchy hair loss, which can resemble small circles or coins on the scalp and elsewhere. While the exact reason remains unclear, it is believed to stem from an autoimmune response where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles. Treatment options include topical steroids, immunotherapy, and oral medications. It's essential to consult a dermatologist who can evaluate your condition and recommend an appropriate plan tailored to your needs.

I have itching in my hand and leg please prescribe some medicine for the same
Male | 62
Itching can be caused by various factors, including allergies, irritations, or skin conditions. It’s important to identify the root cause for effective treatment. Over-the-counter antihistamines may provide temporary relief, but they are not a substitute for professional evaluation. To soothe the affected areas, try applying a cool compress or a fragrance-free moisturizer to reduce irritation. However, if the discomfort persists or worsens, please consider scheduling a visit with a dermatologist. They can offer a precise diagnosis and appropriate treatment options tailored to your specific needs.

Hello doctor ,I’m Harsha 23 years old , and I’m suffering from fever from day before yesterday, Along with it I did get few res spots all over the body,and body is so itchy , also my main consent is I do have leg pain and I’m unable to walk unable to stand also and I just observed face is turning red and slight swelling. Just want to know what kind of problem I’m I suffering from
Female | 23
You may be experiencing a viral fever with a skin rash, a condition known as viral exanthem. The leg pain, swelling, and difficulty walking could indicate inflammation in your joints, which is referred to as viral arthritis. These symptoms are often associated with viral infections like dengue or chikungunya. I recommend getting plenty of rest, staying hydrated, and using over-the-counter pain relievers for relief. If your symptoms worsen or persist for an extended period, it's important to consult a dermatologist.

I am suffering from fungal infection since last 6 months. I got relief for few days from the cream which I had bought from the chemist shop. Then this work is done properly. I asked a doctor and took Fluconazole medicine for two-four days, it did not make much difference, still it is itching a lot, so please suggest me some cream or medicine which can help in this problem. The problem should be eliminated from its roots
Male | 16
Some over the counter creams can ease the pain temporarily, they are usually not persistent enough to eradicate the infection. You should visit a dermatologist they will be able to diagnose the particular fungi and prescribe medication like antifungal creams or oral medication such as terbinafine and itraconazole.

Try moisturizing, avoiding irritants, and OTC antihistamines. If symptoms persist, see a dermatologist.

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.

I applied Voltaren gel on my face skin, a part of my skin color turned whiter or rose after (some days after stopping it). Some parts got darkened. A doctor told me that there is low melanin. What should I do please? Can my skin color be restored?

If you've noticed changes in your skin color after using Voltaren gel on your face, it's important to consult a dermatologist or healthcare professional for proper evaluation and guidance. Avoid self-diagnosis and seek medical help for personalized care.

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.

Can I use benzoyl peroxide ointment for acne
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.

26 year old male with anal warts
Male | 26
Anal warts are caused by a virus known as HPV. They manifest as tiny growths in the vicinity of the anus and can result in itching or pain. To get rid of anal warts, you may require medication to eliminate them or a procedure like freezing or burning off. It is crucial to seek proper diagnosis and treatment from a dermatologist. Also, remember to practice safe sex so that you do not pass on the virus to others.

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.

Using steroids long years. How to stop. Even i stop this my skin was dull and dark
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.

Improvements can be seen in the majority of people after four months, but some may not have complete results. Scars usually get better with this treatment, but they may not disappear completely. Keeping your expectations in check is important, and you should be patient. Make sure you follow your doctor's instructions for the successful treatment.

I am Mayank who is 15 years old and at the age of 15 I have a lot of white hair and I want to cure them, please tell me some medicine or remedy
Male | 15
Finding white hair in a young person can be a surprise. It's often mainly because of genetics, stress, or unnatural deficiency of some nutrients. Don't be afraid, however, it's normal. As a preventive measure, eat a healthy balanced diet full of vitamins and minerals and manage stress. You may also opt for milder hair products and refrain from heat treatments.
