Why is there a painful red boil on my penis shaft?
Hello Doctor, From last couple of days I have developed a small red boil on the shaft of penis, it pains on touch. The appearance is small round red in colour with no pus formation and it pains a lot especially on touch or on friction. Kindly advise medications for the same. Thanks and Regards

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.

I am suffering from skin disease
Male | 27
Eczema is a skin condition that can cause itching, redness, and sometimes swelling or cracked skin. It happens when your skin is sensitive to things like soaps, lotions, or even stress. To reduce itching and redness, use gentle, fragrance-free products and keep your skin moisturized. If the symptoms persist, it's important to see a dermatologist for further treatment.

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.

What medication can I take to cure the infection (itchy rashes on my private part and yansh)?
Male | 20
A rash affecting your intimate areas may indicate a yeast or bacterial infection. This condition is widespread, so there's no need for embarrassment. For treatment, a doctor could recommend an antifungal cream or antibiotic ointment. Maintain cleanliness and dryness in the affected region. Wear loose-fitting garments. Refrain from scratching to expedite healing.

I have darkness around my mouth what should I do to get rid of it
Female | 19
Apart from the notorious undesired effects like hyperpigmentation, irritation is also a major cause of this condition while, at the same time, it might be one of the indications of some skin disorders. The use of sunscreen, hormonal alteration, and particular skin products are the most ordinary sources of hyperpigmentation. So, Fully use sunscreen to avoid these dark areas, select only milder skincare products, and keep the skin well by moisturizing it regularly. Certain natural remedies such as aloe vera gel and vitamin C serums may also assist in lightening the spot. You may also consult a dermatologist.

It’s been over a week almost 2 weeks the rash I have under my armpits still itch and seems to be not getting better I don’t see my doctor until march 14 and I dont consider this an emergency for me to go to the ER I’ve tried putting on antibodics cream and Benadryl cream and burn relief gel with lidocaine and it seems to not be helping I haven’t shaved or put any deodorant on what else do you recommend I can put on to help with the itching ? Or what else could it be since it’s not getting better
Female | 33
Under your armpits, you seem to have a persistent rash. Your description suggests intertrigo, a fungal infection. When skin rubs together and moisture gets trapped, fungi can thrive. To ease itching, try an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream. Keep the area clean and dry. Avoid tight clothes. Use a gentle, unscented soap. If the rash persists, your dermatologist may prescribe an antifungal cream.

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.

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.

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.
