A rash on your legs seems quite concerning. It might be ringworm, showing circular reddish patches. Ringworm often causes itchiness and burning sensations. Keep affected areas dry and clean. Try antifungal creams from stores, they may help clear it. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, see a dermatologist. Many skin issues are treatable when properly addressed, so there's no need to panic unduly. With proper care, the condition should improve.

16 year old female. I have heat rash that only occurs on my fingrrs and feet and my skin peels of around those blisters. I have had several doctor attend to me but they could not figure what it is. Some evn suspected to be a fungal infection.it does not affect my entire body like othe r beat rashes do to other people.i have used medicine like Miconozole cream but none changes
Female | 16
This could be the cause of having blisters and corpses on your hands and feet. Miconazole creams usually work when infections are caused by fungi, but if you have tried everything else and Miconazole failed, you can investigate other potential causes such as allergic responses or irritant contact dermatitis. I recommend you to see a specialist in dermatology who will perform the complete examination and offer the most effective treatment that will reduce your symptoms.

About my thumb in my thumb nail is not growing and 2 lines are there
Female | 17
The lack of growth and the presence of lines can occur due to several factors, such as stress, nutritional deficiencies, or trauma to the area. Often, these issues are temporary and resolve on their own. However, it’s essential to ensure you’re getting proper nutrients and managing stress effectively. If the condition persists or worsens, I recommend consulting a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized advice. They can provide insights and solutions tailored to your specific needs.

Female | 46
Skin cancer is caused when skin cells grow in an abnormal way. The symptoms can include moles that are changing, new growths, or sores that don’t heal. The main reason is the sun. Treatment options include surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. It's important to protect your skin from the sun and see a dermatologist for regular checkups.

i have a pimple thats bothering me for 2 years (it wont go away)
Male | 19
You seem to have a long-lasting pimple, known as a cyst. These pimples linger, painful, and deep within the skin. To aid healing, gently cleanse the area. Don't squeeze or pick at it. After two years, the cyst persists. Seeking advice from a dermatologist is recommended if discomfort continues.

on 08/05/2024,suddenly i felt pain in my left breast.The pain went away after taking a pain killer.

Female | 34
It seems like you are going through mastitis which is an infection in the breast tissue. The pus-like discharge is a sign of infection. Mastitis can result from bacteria entering the breast via a cracked nipple or blocked milk duct. It is important to keep on taking any prescribed antibiotics and not to squeeze the breast because it can make the infection worse. Ensure you feed and pump frequently in order to clear the infection. With proper treatment and rest, mastitis can generally be cured within a week.

Male | 50
The symptoms you have pointed out give a strong possibility that the lump around the neck is caused by either an inflammation or an infection. You should consult a dermatologist to conduct a differential diagnosis and recommend the most suitable treatment for that lump.

Hairfall in 17 age this normal?
Male | 17
Experiencing hair loss at your age can be daunting, yet it’s normally linked to numerous factors such as stress, hormonal changes, or nutritional deficiencies. Regular indications include thinning hair or visible shedding. It is crucial for hair health to incorporate a balanced diet with plenty of vitamins and minerals. Besides this, you can also lessen the stress in your daily life by applying relaxation methods. In case, if you observe some major changes or are uncertain, I would advise you to consult a dermatologist.

I am a 18 year old male, and im concerned about having herpes, both hsv 1 and 2, but im confused about what it looks like
Male | 18
No matter whether it's HSV-1 or HSV-2 can cause ulcers or blisters around your mouth or genitals as is the case with other sexually transmitted diseases. In these areas, you may experience burning, itching, or discomfort. Said viruses are easily transmitted through physical contact like kissing or intercourse. If it's herpes, get help from a dermatologist because they will diagnose and treat you.

Hello doctor I have 2 marks on my nose earlier it was small and light but Now they are dark and big , and I really want to remove them. So kindly give me advice they look really very bad.
Female | 37
We need to see picture of the marks and we need to know the reason behind marks if it's previous chicken pox or accident or any infection. Based on location sometimes we might remove them or sometimes we might give some sufficient filling part or we have TCA peel so we need to decide based on depth location and reason behind marks. Please share the pictures. You can also visit plastic surgeon near your area.

I have swollen thumb fingertip yellow hard skin on affected area and tender on other part very painfull
Male | 28
An infection seems likely in your thumb. Swelling, thick yellow skin, and soreness are symptoms. Cuts or scrapes allowing bacteria entry can cause this. As treatment, gently cleanse with soap and water. Apply antibiotic ointment, then bandage. Consult a dermatologist if no improvement occurs.

In October my neck get burn blisters made then skin peel off now I have light brown skin with dark patches I want to know how much time my skin. Take to come in original color and what I use
Female | 24
Redness, blister, and peeling, as a result, can result in the presence of variations in skin color such as light brown spots and darker patches. It is mainly due to pigmentation changes during the skin healing process. The time of recovery is different, whereas it can take several weeks or months to get an even skin layer. For better healing, the usage of mild moisturizers and sunscreen, since the sun rays can worsen the given areas, is advised. It is best not to include rough treatments. However, to get individual advice, your consultations with the dermatologist will recommend you the treatment plan.

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.

Male | 17
Your skin’s red dots are psoriasis symptoms but you must seek a dermatologist for an appropriate diagnosis. Psoriasis is an autoimmune, chronic skin disease affecting the joints. A dermatologist may assess your symptoms and recommend suitable treatment measures.

My face turns red There are small pimples on the face and now there are dark spots on the skin, tell me the solution to reduce it
Male | 29
To treat acne and its related dark spots, wash your face twice daily using a mild soap; apply an oil-free moisturizer and avoid pricking or scratching at any pimples. Over-the-counter products containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid would be effective too if used consistently for about twelve weeks. If none of these measures work for you, you can see a dermatologist who will give you more instructions based on your specific needs.

Can you suggest some supplements brands or products for skin brightening or whole body
Female | 22
For brighter skin or improved complexion, you can try supplements with Vitamin C and Vitamin E. If you're dealing with dullness, these vitamins can help give your skin a healthy glow. Consider reliable brands like Nature's Bounty or NOW Foods. Be sure to read the label carefully and consult your pharmacist or doctor before starting any new supplement.

I am a 25 year old male and I have a skin condition around my testicles. It has been for over 2 years now. It appears to be a like a patch on the skin around my testicles. I recently got married 3 months ago. About a week ago, my crotch started giving out a pungent smell similar to that of chlorine despite washing it several times a day. Also, I observed small rashes on my scrotum and the skin peels when scratching it. Please I need your help.
Male | 25
You might have a skin condition known as tinea cruris, or jock itch. This is a fungal infection that often affects the groin area. Symptoms include red, itchy patches of skin, a bad smell, and peeling skin. It can be caused by sweating, tight clothing, or poor hygiene. To treat it, it is important to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose clothing, and use antifungal creams.
