Experiencing Fungal Infection on My Back, Body, and Hand?
Fungal infection back body and hand

Cosmetologist
Answered on 1st Mar '25
Fungal infections on the back or hands often cause redness, itching, and flaking skin. These can occur due to moisture, warmth, or skin-to-skin contact. It's crucial to keep the affected area dry and clean. Over-the-counter antifungal creams can be effective, but persistent symptoms may require a prescription. Avoid tight clothing and share personal items to reduce spread. If your condition doesn’t improve within a few weeks or worsens, please consult a dermatologist. They can provide a diagnosis and tailored treatment to ensure a full recovery.

Allergies that occur are redness, itchiness, and material on the skin. By the way, doing an antihistamine is the best way to deal with the situation. Stop using the gel at once. Use a mild cleanser to wash your face gently. Use an odorless, non-irritating moisturizer to keep the skin moist. Contact a dermatologist if the skin problems continue or get worse.

I am a vegetarian and also anemic i have brown spots all over my back chest and neck i saw somewhere it said it’s because of low vitamin D but I want to make sure its not anything more serious
Female | 22
While low vitamin D or anemia might contribute to skin issues, other causes like sun exposure and skin conditions should be considered. A dermatologist can perform a thorough evaluation to identify the exact cause of the brown spots and provide appropriate treatment. In the meantime, maintain a balanced diet and protect your skin from excessive sun exposure.

I have skin ache for almost a week and it mostly start at night. When ever I scratch it the place will swollen a little and some turn to wound. I have applied different oilment but it only reliefs and continue the next day. Kindly advise
Male | 37
You might be having eczema, a skin condition. Eczema can lead your skin to get itchy, swell up, and be susceptible to wounds when scratched. This condition can aggravate at night due to the temperature and humidity changes. The ointments can give a momentary comfort, but it is crucial to recognize the triggers like some soaps or foods. Use a mild, unscented moisturizer and scratch less to avoid further irritation. If the symptoms do not go away, then it is better to see a dermatologist who can assess and manage the problem properly.

My baby skin problem please give me solutions
Male | 1.8 months
Skin issues in infants can manifest as rashes, dryness, or redness. Common causes include allergies, irritants, or eczema. To help soothe your baby’s skin, keep it moisturized with baby-friendly lotions and avoid harsh soaps. Dress your little one in breathable fabrics and try to identify any potential allergens. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it’s essential to seek professional advice from a pediatrician for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

You may have scalp folliculitis. This means hair follicles are inflamed. It can happen from harsh hair products, sweating too much, or infections. To feel better, use gentle products. Don't scratch. See a dermatologist for help and treatment.

Male | 15
Be sure to go to the doctor as soon as possible if you think you might be infected with an STD. You may have genital herpes, or an STD if you experience a swelling in the bump on your lower bum area. A dermatologist or a specialist in sexual health can be suited to diagnose and treat any conditions you may suffer.

You may have a skin disease known as eczema. Eczema is a skin condition that develops itchy red lumps on the affected area. This case is common in children of your age. The reasons could be the problems of dry skin and allergic reactions. Use moisturizing lotion to keep your skin soft and stop it from itching. Sometimes the physician might prescribe a specific cream to help you with the itch.

Male | 26
It sounds like you're experiencing significant hair loss and thinning, especially on the top of your head. This can be due to factors like stress, poor diet, genetics, or certain medical conditions. To address this, try eating a balanced diet, managing stress, and using gentle hair care products. It's also important to visit a dermatologist to check for any underlying health issues that might be causing the hair loss.

Fungal infection not cure for long time after taking medicine, frequently occurr on skin on butt side
Female | 32
Fungal infections can make your skin red, itch, and sometimes hurt. These infections usually like to grow in warm and moist places, so butt skin can be the common spot. To help mop it up, keep the area clean and dry, wear loose clothes, and apply antifungal creams or powders that the pharmacist recommends. To get it if it still comes back, you may need a stronger prescription from the doctor to get rid of it.

Actually i got a little scratch by a street dog’s nail but it’s not deep also so pls recommend me what should i do.. i can also share the pic of it for better suggestion
Female | 17
I can see that scratching you due to a street dog can be a worrying issue for you. From your information, the scratch is not too deep, which may mean there is a low chance of infection. Watch out for any redness, swelling, or warmth around the area. First of all, wash the scratch using soap and water and then apply the antiseptic cream to the area to avoid any further infection. Watch the scratch for a few days, and if you spot any of the infection signs that are getting worse, like more pain, redness, or pus formation, it is better to go to a doctor.

Tanning is a very common problem faced in this era. Salicyclic peel may help in treating your tan, but a proper diagnosis would make it easier to understand what your skin needs and customize solutions accordingly. You can connect with any dermatologist in Bangalore so as to understand better.

1) I want to know why about 200 hairs are falling every day while combing. 2) And one more thing, about 80-90 hairs are falling every day without combing the hair. whenever i put my hand in my hair its about 5-6 hairs comes in my hand.if i don't put my hand in my hair even than after also some hairs are falls on my t shirt. Please tell me why it's happening? Is it serious problem or not?
Female | 20
Yet, losing around 200 shed hairs just while combing, and subsequently losing more during the day can denote an accompanying issue. Elements like stress, hormonal changes, problems with nutrition, or scalp conditions might cause this. I advise you to rethink your nutrition, take care of stress, and make use of appropriate hair care daily. If the condition remains unchanged, a dermatologist is the right step to get the exact cause and a personalized remedy.

Why im getting dry it by skin in patches
Male | 54
Your skin may be dehydrated in patches. This could be due to many reasons, such as a lack of moisture, harsh soaps, or skin conditions like eczema. Dry skin can feel rough, scratchy, or even fissure. To help, try washing your kids' hair using a soap that is formulated for them. Use a thick cream or ointment which you should apply daily for at least a week. Also, drink plenty of water. If you do not see an improvement, visit a dermatologist.
