Safe removal of congenital nevus in 7.5-year-old girl
Good day, I want to consult you regarding a congenital nevus and a female child aged 7.5 years. The nevus is visible at the back of the back, measuring 2-2.5cm vertically and 1-1.5cm horizontally. Is it safe to remove the nevus, is it possible to remove it completely, without leaving any cell that would continue to grow and become malignant. Is it safe in the sense that there is no risk of turning into melanoma if it is split? Thank you in advance for asking, Nice day

A birthmark that grows is called congenital nevus. Most are harmless, but removal could help if it bothers your child or risks becoming melanoma (cancer). Talk to a dermatologist. If removal is best, they'll do it carefully to minimize any left cells that could maybe become cancerous. Watch for changes. Follow the doctor's advice.

Good afternoon, I have rashes kind of situation on my Penis head. No pain, no itching. Can you please suggest how to get it solved?
Male | 49
You are putting up with a condition called Balanitis that may lead you to have a rash on the head of your penis. Balanitis can occur due to improper hygiene, an irritating reaction to chemicals, or infections. No pain or itching, so it could be mild. I recommend keeping the area dry and clean, using mild soap, and staying away from irritating substances. If it doesn't improve, go to a dermatologist for further advice.

Hi,my self Bhargav, Recently I observed small holes under the pennies, when I press that holes, white and black substance coming outside, initially i thought like these are formed by hair grow.
Male | 29
You may have folliculitis, which is a common skin condition. This occurs when the hair follicles become infected with bacteria. The holes you can see are where the infection is coming out; this may contain pus hence the white and black things you mentioned. Clean the affected area regularly and use warm compresses too. However, if it’s too uncomfortable for you then visit a dermatologist.

Pimple and Pimple marks in face
Female | 27
Pimple marks are small bumps that can be red, swollen, or have pus, the pinky-gray of the skin. These things are generated when the pores become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Pimple marks are dark or red spots left behind after a pimple goes away. In order to reduce your chances of getting pimples, you should wash your face regularly, stay away from oily products, and never pick or squeeze the pimples. Apply products that contain benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to treat them.

My finger got black swallowed skin.it won't pain won't itch.but If I remove it it comes again on same place.what is solution?
Male | 40
You have a condition called a subungual hematoma. Small blood vessels under the nail break. This causes the skin to turn black. Trauma, even minor, often causes this. It is usually harmless and resolves by itself. But if it bothers you, a dermatologist can drain the blood. Don't pick at it to avoid infections. Keep the area clean.

Acne spots on my face How to treat them ?
Female | 17
These spots occur when your skin's pores are blocked by oil and dead skin cells. This may result from hormonal changes, stress, or the use of skincare products that contain oils. For remedy, try cleansing your face twice a day with a mild cleanser, and additionally, using products that contain ingredients like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. Also, avoid squeezing or picking at the spots as it may make the situation worse. You could just go to a dermatologist and receive more opinions.

White spots on a child’s face can have various causes, including a condition called vitiligo or simple fungal infections. Many cases can be treated effectively, but treatment depends on the exact cause. It’s best to consult a dermatologist, who specializes in skin conditions, for proper diagnosis and treatment options.

More big Pimple on face and black spot and white spots
Male | 19
Pimples are the result of clogged pores due to oil and dead skin. Dirt or oil that is entrapped may be the reason for the formation of black and white spots. For help, the best way to go is to wash your face delicately two times every day, use products that are oil free. However, if it persists consult a dermatologist right away.

My mother and brother have chicken pox. It's been 4 days and taking medicine. I have had this disease before. Is there any possibility of more coming as I am taking care of them? My father is on medication after his stroke. So, can he take preventive medicine? Is there any use in consuming it for so many days? Since we are all in one house, there is a common toilet. Cleaned with Dettol after each use. Is there a problem with that?
Female | 45
It's so cool that you worry about your family's health. As you have already had chicken pox, you are in all probabilities immune to it. Your dad who is in the process of stroke recovery should not use any preventive medicines on his own without consulting with the doctor. It is a good thing to wash the toilet with Dettol to reduce the possibility of the germs spreading. Pure, practicing the supreme rudiments and caring for one another will be enough to get by!

Male | 24
Don’t worry, lots of people get acne. Signs of acne include red spots, blackheads, and whiteheads on your face. Things that might cause it are hormones, greasy skin, and bacteria. You can try washing your face gently twice a day with a soapless cleanser, not touching zits, and using only oil-free products. If this bothers you then maybe talk to a dermatologist.

Male | 34
This can happen because of dry air, nose picking, or allergy treatment. No distress; it is entirely a natural thing. Using a humidifier, avoiding nose-picking, and making your nasal passages moist would help; try this first. If it worsens, it’s better to go to a dermatologist.

I am 17 year old boy having a red bumps or pimple on penius body....1 pimple pooped and another started growing...pain is there...I can't sit properly
Male | 17
It sounds like maybe a zit or an inflamed hair follicle could be the reason for the pain or itching you might be having on your penis. These can occur due to sweat or humid conditions, lack of cleanliness, or tight clothing. The pain and discomfort can be mitigated by keeping the area clean and dry. Refrain from wearing tight clothes, and if there is pus, gently remove it by applying warm water. Please visit a dermatologist if it doesn't improve.

Female | 29
Boils are typically triggered by bacteria entering a hair follicle or oil gland. They come up as red, tender lumps filled with pus. Clean the area and apply a warm cloth to help them heal. Don’t try to squeeze or burst them as this can make the infection worse. If this doesn’t work, see a dermatologist.

My daughter is 14 years old and was having a corn on her toe. We initially left it and did nothing , later we got a corn tape and changed it every 3-4 days within 2 weeks. Now the area has become white so we have not put any corn tape and left it open.
Female | 14
Corns, which are caused by the skin undergoing pressure or friction continuously, are the result of this. The white area may be a sign of skin healing. Try not to use the corn tape for the time being. Keep the area clean and dry. Wearing shoes that are a lot more comfortable should help to ease the pressure. If it doesn't improve, visit a foot specialist for further advice.

I applied a sunnies face lipstick accidentally ( without examining the lipstick before because i had used it yesterday and it looked fine ) today there was some yellow thin patch on the top part of the lipstick , I wiped it off with water , applied face was ( ponds ) on my lips and then brushed my teeth. Is it okay? should I be concerned? I am not feeling uncomfortable. what should i do with the lipstick? I applied it on my hand ( path was removed after i applied on my lips ) and the texture was fine , with no rash. should I wait and see if the mold regrows? Also i store my lipsticks in dry cool place and i have never mixed it with any other lipstick i just bought it a month ago and used only a few times.
Female | 17
You used a lipstick that may have had some mold on it. Makeup products mold due to age or contamination sometimes. The yellow spot you noticed could be mold. You do not feel any discomfort, so you are probably fine. Always remember to wash the lipstick before using it again. You should also check for any changes on your lips and see a doctor if you notice something unusual.
