You may have developed a condition called folliculitis. It happens when hair follicles get inflamed, usually due to friction or bacteria. The red bump on the penis shaft with pain and tenderness can be typical symptoms. For now, you can try warm compresses to help reduce pain and inflammation. Don't touch or squeeze it. If it doesn't improve or worsen, visit a dermatologist.

Excessive hair loss, hormonal tests advice needed , no other problem in body
Female | 36
Excessive hair loss can often be linked to hormonal imbalances, even if there are no other noticeable problems in the body. It's important to get your thyroid levels, estrogen, and androgen hormones checked. I advise you to consult an endocrinologist, to diagnose and treat hormonal issues that might be causing your hair loss.

I am 17yrs old and I don’t knw what is wrong with my eye section I got a huge bumb right above my eye lashes
Male | 17yrs
It sounds like you may have a stye. A stye is a red, painful lump situated near the eyelid's edge. People may suffer swelling, tenderness, and at times even pus formation. Generally, bacteria are responsible for causing styes when they invade the oil glands around the eyelids. You should administer warm compresses to your eye several times every day without squeezing or bursting the infected area to treat it. It might be wise to consult an eye specialist if no improvement occurs, or the condition deteriorates.

I am a 25 years old female. I suddenly work up and had herpes and this is the first time, I have never had it or known anyone that has. I haven't kissed anyone in 6 months or more. The last places I was at was work which was a rave last Thursday and on Sunday it was a bit calm. Is it possible I got it from the rave cause I can't understand how I have this rash on my lip and my lips are swollen. I am currently taking Aciclovir tablets and using the cream as well.
Female | 25
Herpes on the lips are called cold sores. They're caused by the herpes simplex virus. This virus spreads through close contact or shared objects like cups and straws. Getting it from the rave is unlikely since the virus doesn't live long outside the body. Taking Aciclovir tablets and using the cream is a great approach! These medications help make the outbreak less severe and shorter. Don't touch or pick at the sores to prevent spreading the virus more. Visit a dermatologist or general physician for further consultation.

Female | 27
This could mean you have eczema. Eczema makes skin red, itchy and inflamed in patches. Many things can trigger it, like allergies or irritants. To help, keep skin moisturized. Don't use harsh soaps. Try a gentle moisturizing cream or ointment instead. You can also visit a dermatologist.

You may have bilateral facial swelling, meaning both sides of your face are swollen. This could be caused by infections, allergies, or dental issues. It's important to see a physician as soon as possible to identify the cause and receive appropriate treatment. In the meantime, you can apply ice packs to reduce the swelling and avoid eating foods high in salt and spices.

The back of my neck has swollen a lot and I am not feeling any pain at all, so what should I do for it? My name is Hema Maurya and I am 18 years old.
Female | 18
It seems your neck is a bit swollen but you are not feeling any pain. This could be caused by an infection or a swollen gland. Sometimes, it can occur without any serious reasons as well. However, the priority is to have a doctor take a look at it to be on the safe side. They may have to conduct some tests to be able to tell what is going on.

I am 50 year old female suffering from lichen planopilaris. I have tried using topical steroids but is not helping with hair loss and I can see more patches appearing.I need help urgently to improve my scalp condition. Thanks
Female | 50
Lichen planopilaris is a skin disease that causes the hair follicles on the scalp to be damaged, leading to hair loss and patches on the scalp. Topical steroids are not always effective. You may need other treatments like oral medications or injections to help the existing condition. I recommend you to a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

It is crucial if you have a rash on your penis to consult a dermatologist or a doctor who specializes in the urinary tract as soon as possible. It might turn out to be an ingrown hair but you might be prone to a sexually transmitted disease.

Dots on dick hurts a little
Male | 24
The penis may have them in the form of small, elevated points. Generally, the cause of this is a type of virus known as HPV which can be transmitted through sexual contact. The warts may not be the most painful but can also slightly hurt. It is necessary to see a dermatologist for treatment options, which could include medicines or procedures to eliminate the warts.

Female | 27
Acne is multi-factorial problem, hormonal disease in most of the patients, diet, exercise, hygiene, grooming practices play important role.so visiting dermatologist and taking treatment is one option and maintain treatment for long time because if you are getting any improvement with the treatment then continue it otherwise dermatologist will change it. there are few things that has to be taken care. One thing not to apply hair oil, avoid having dandruff or use anti-dandruff shampoos weekly on the scalp, using face washes that have salicylic acid or glycolic acid. Avoid using thick greasy moisturizers or cream on the face. Use only creams that are gel based or water based. Drink plenty of water, avoid fat or cheesy diet, exercise 10-15 mins of the day. Topical steroids have to be avoided. Topical antibiotics like Clindamycin are useful. Oral Antibiotics or retinoids are advised.

It is okay to have white or grey hair when you are young. Genetics is one of the main reasons this might happen. Ridiculing someone because of their hair color is not okay. Optionally, there are hair dyes that can even transform a light hair color into a completely different one.

How do I get rid of purple stretch marks on bum.
Female | 14
Stretch marks on the bum are pretty normal. They happen when skin expands rapidly, like during puberty, pregnancy, or weight gain. Basically, the marks form when deeper layers tear. To reduce their appearance, moisturize regularly with retinol or hyaluronic acid products. Proper nutrition and hydration can lend a hand too. Keep in mind, fading takes time, so stick with the routine patiently. The marks look purple at first, but gradually lighten over months.

External haemorrhoids without pain . But has some mass that doesn’t itch or makes it any hard for bowel moment .. suggest me some cream
Female | 21
If it is true that you have external hemorrhoids, then it means those swollen blood vessels around your back passage are the ones to blame. They may be harmless, but you feel that a bulging mass. This could be the case as well due to straining when having a bowel movement, pregnancy, or sitting in one position for a long time. To make your pain less severe, you can use the medication for hemorrhoids which you can buy without a prescription, or use ointments such as Preparation H. Spread it out over the affected area as the label says. Don't forget to include high-fiber foods in your diet, drink a lot of water, and try to be active. If the condition continues or worsens, go to a gastroenterologist for a thorough examination and advice.

Acne manifests as small bumps and blackheads appear as clogged pores with dark color. They can be caused by excessive fat on the face's skin and bacteria. It is advisable to wash your face daily, using a gentle cleanser. Touching your face should be avoided. In case no improvements, visiting a dermatologist is an option.

Hello doctor! I have a daughter and she is 4months old.. She is having skin allergy on cheeks.. Dry, itchy, and sometimes water comes out on her skin due to continues itching. Please suggest some cream. I have used atogla, cetaphil, fucidin.. But condition is still the same.
Female | 4
If the rash is occurring on cheek in 3-4 months old child is most probably due to atopic dermatitis which is dry irritated skin condition resulting in itching and oozy skin. This might also effect other body parts like face, neck, front of elbows, back of knees and child might become irritated. It has to be managed with syndate bars or soaps, proper moisturizers, avoiding the irritants and oral or topical steroids. Proper consultation with dermatologist is advisable.
