I suggest that you visit a dermatologist who is capable of diagnosing the type and level of the fungal infection. The treatment plan will be based on the diagnosis. Prescription of the suitable antifungal medication will be done followed by advice on hygiene practices to prevent further infection.

I found hair gap on my head suddenly, i don't know what had happened please help me

Male | 21

This may be the said alopecia areata, a condition in which your hair forms spots and then falls. Stress, genetics, and certain illnesses are the underlying causes. The hair grows back in the majority of cases without treatment. If you find it interesting, you can consult a dermatologist, and discuss what might have caused the condition and whether there are options for treatment. ?

I am experiencing some concerning symptoms around the genital area. There is significant redness on the head of the penis and on the skin when it is pulled back. Additionally, a large, raised bump that resembles a pus-filled lesion has appeared on the head of the penis. There is also an unpleasant smell that persists despite washing and maintaining hygiene. The area has small spots and pimples, and the overall appearance is quite inflamed and abnormal. I also feel a burning sensation and itching in the area, which have not improved with regular cleaning. I would appreciate your guidance on this. I am not very sexually active(once a month)

The redness, bumps, and horrible odor are the issues, and the burning and the itching bother you more than they should. Proper hygiene is a defense against the illness; however, self-treatment may not be effective. You should go to a dermatologist to be examined thoroughly and receive accurate tests. They can draw up a diagnostic and treatment plan that suits your condition and deals with the symptoms efficiently.

Feeling weak. Eyes burning. Can't taste food. I have a dry cold.

The dry air could be the cause of your condition. It may either be due to your nasal congestion or the inflammation of your senses. You can manage your problems through proper hydration, rest, and the use of saline nasal sprays. Tea and such liquid foods may also be consumed warm to calm your throat. Should the prospect of your health change for the worse, or if you don’t feel better within a few days, you should approach a dermatologist. They could shed light on your situation and conduct the necessary examination.

I am having a fever since yesterday and red rashes come out, then they go away and come back but still I am having trouble getting up

Female | 23

You might have a viral infection causing your fever and red rashes. That the rashes go away and come back may be a sign that the virus is still present. Through this, you will be able to alleviate the symptoms. Moreover, you can take a pill such as acetaminophen for your fever. If it doesn't get better in a couple of days, a dermatologist might have to see you.

I am 27 years old female and have dry skin type. Lately my skin on the torso, waist and hip has become extremely dry & flaky. Even piling doesn't affect it. I then tried aveeno cream which has reduced flakiness, but it's still very tough to touch and skin on these areas has become stretchy as well as scaly. My grandmother had this skin. It's strange because skin everywhere else is normal, but there it's becoming old and wrinkled. I drink 2-3 litres water daily, although piling doesn't help but I still oil everyday. Pls help. I also take vitamin E capsules, sea cod, vitamin c chewables, and B complex capsules. My skin overall is dry and scalp has dandruff because of this too. There are sometimes small patches of dry skin at random areas like back, forearm and torso, and when I scratch away it goes off like flakes. But this dry, rough and wrinkled skin on my torso, waist and hip is bothering me.

There are a few things you can try to help with your dry, rough and wrinkled skin. First, make sure you are using a moisturizer that is specially formulated for dry skin. Look for ingredients like shea butter, cocoa butter, or almond oil. These will help provide moisture and nourishment to the skin. You may also want to try a richer cream, such as body butter or a balm, to provide extra hydration.

You can also try using a gentle exfoliator to help remove any dead skin cells and promote cell turnover. This will help the skin to look smoother and help with flakiness.

In addition to using moisturizers and exfoliators, you should also make sure you are getting enough vitamins and minerals in your diet. Vitamins A, C, and E are all important for healthy skin, as well as omega-3 fatty acids. Eating a balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables can help you get the nutrients you need for healthy skin.

Finally, make sure you are drinking plenty of water throughout the day. This will help keep your skin hydrated and help prevent dryness.
