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.

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. (hifenac sp).But after six days (on 14/052024)when I squeezed my breast,i found a pus like discharge from the same breast.next day i went to the doctor and i uploaded the prescription.now when i squeeze my breast i can see pus. i have two children.younger one is 4 year and 5 months old.no lump is felt.when will it be cured?should i stop squeezing breast?please help.
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.

I have feeling pain since last few days beside of a lump under the skin of middle of my chest. It shows reddish beside the lump and pain comes from there.
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.

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.

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.

My husband suffering red patches on his neck nd under neck side 2 days after it spread in nose side pls suggest how to cure
Male | 48
Red patches have appeared on your husband's neck, under his chin—a bothersome sight! When spreading to the nose area, it may indicate contact dermatitis, a skin condition caused by exposure to an irritant. To relieve discomfort, have him avoid the irritant, gently cleanse the affected areas with water, and apply soothing creams like aloe vera or hydrocortisone. If symptoms persist, it's best to consult a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Age=17 years. Having hard lump on side of head and on the forehead it doesnot cause pain but mild pain occur some times.First it was on side of head than occurred on forehead it's size is not very large not seen in hairs
Male | 17
It may not always be painful, though it causes occasional mild pain. Such a thing can happen when there is a small sac under the skin or it is a harmless tumor. Sometimes these bumps are caused by blocked oil ducts or inflamed hair follicles. Make sure you have a dermatologist take a look at it so they can tell you for sure what it is and how to fix it.

Male | 21
There is a chance you are experiencing folliculitis which is a common condition. Folliculitis is a term used to describe a situation when hair follicles become inflamed and infected. Symptoms can consist of red spots, itching, and in some cases pus formation. Friction, sweat, or bacteria are the possible culprits for this. If it doesn't improve, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist for further assistance.

I am a 26 year old male. I am facing excessive itching, irritation and excessive sweating in my scrotum. I used lulicanazole cream for 10 days but still condition is same.
Male | 26
These symptoms may be caused by a fungal infection known as jock itch. This is common in hot and humid places like the fine hairs of the groin. Using luliconazole cream is a good start, but sometimes it is necessary to use stronger ones. For further evaluation and treatment options, see a dermatologist.

I had a small cut on my hand that came into contact with blood on clothe. I didn't see any blood on my cut afterward or any wetness. Could I be infected with HIV?
Female | 33
HIV does not spread easily from dried blood. The virus dies quickly outside the body. A small cut touching dried blood is very unlikely to cause infection. Unbroken skin protects against HIV entering the body. Being cautious with blood is wise. However, in this case, the chance of getting HIV is extremely low. It's still good to watch for any unusual symptoms. But you probably have nothing to worry about!
