The boil-like structure could be a symptom of an infection. Pain and irritation while urinating are the most frequent. These include antibiotics or antifungal creams to help with the infection. The area should be kept clean and dry for a quicker recovery process. Drink lots of water and do not use strong soaps on the wound.

I am 21 year old male and my hairline is declining from front and middle. I often smoke. I have used onion oil for months and got good results but after sometimes my hairs started falling out again. How should I stop my hair from falling out and what tests should I prefer to know its hormonal or not ??
Male | 21
You need to give due attention to your hair loss problems. Smoking is one of the reasons for hair loss. Hormone Imbalances are also another factor. Blood tests can help determine if your hormone levels are abnormally high or low. Fatigue and weight shift are some of the symptoms of hormonal imbalance. You may require medications or lifestyle adjustments customized to your condition. Routine dermatologist checks are critical.

Hello doctor, I fell in the park on Holi, and my friend applied turmeric, garlic and mustard oil on the wound after heating it.I have this injury on my knee This mark has appeared after the wound healed. Now how will it be cured?
Female | 29
You may be having a skin reaction to the things you put on your wound. This has formed a stain on your knee. Temporary things like turmeric, garlic, and mustard oil can be used on the wound but may cause skin irritation. To facilitate the healing, discontinue those substances and keep the area clean. You may also find some relief by applying a light moisturizer. If it doesn't get better, see a dermatologist for more help.

White patches on scalp so Hair grow white about 12years present my age 23years please advice permanent treatment about this
Male | 23
White spotting on the scalp may suggest the disease called alopecia araeta which causes the hair to fall off in patches. It is a treatable problem, the solution to which depends on the intensity of the problem itself. The skin condition should be assessed by a dermatologist for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

I am 22 of age a female, recently I noticed some lumps close to my ass hole
Female | 22
In most cases, these lymph nodes are connected with the infections of the rectal region such as perianal abscess or a hemorrhoid. Symptoms comprise inflammation, aches, painful tingling, and pus if the glandular development becomes infected recently. The most essential actions are hygiene and heat compress usage. Likewise, examining these lumps would help to understand the situation, so if there is no improvement or worsening of this disease, you are advised to hurry to the medical center.

I have gone through hair transplant surgery 4.5 months ago. I am suffering from Androgenetic Alopecia. As per the doctor, I am taking minoxidil and finastride on daily basis. However, my hair sheds while I apply minoxidil (10-15 hairs shed) and while I wash my head. Please suggest whether this is normal or should I consider any other treatment?
Hair fall is natural. As the lifecycle of hair has different stages.
- Telogen and exogen are shedding phases of hair cycle where we lose hair. 15 to 20% hair are shed in these phases, therefore it's natural.
- But when you lose more hair than routine, then its a matter of concern. Upto 30 to 40 hair per day is normal. Whatever you lose will grow back according to your hair cycle.
- If you are losing thin hair very frequently then it's alarming as well.
- After starting minoxidil hair fall increases. But that is normal and you will get those hair back because you are not losing them from the root.
Keep using minoxidil and finasteride it will help you.
You can refer this page to find doctors - Dermatologists in India, or you can consult me as well anytime you feel that the state of your hair is seeing no improvement.

Bleeding from the back is unusual and could be a sign of a serious condition, like an injury, infection, or an underlying issue with the blood vessels or skin. It's important to visit a general surgeon or a dermatologist to get this checked as soon as possible. They can diagnose the problem properly and guide you on the right treatment.

Male | 34
Common reasons include infections like folliculitis, herpes, and fungal problems. These arise from shaving, sweating, and lack of hygiene. Ease the discomfort and heal the sores by staying clean, and dry. Also, try wearing loose-fitting clothes. Use over-the-counter creams pharmacists suggest. But if it worsens or won't go away, see a dermatologist. They'll properly diagnose and treat you.

I have a lump between 1-2 inches below my left ear, where my jawline meets my neck. Is this serious, or likely just a lipid deposit?
Male | 17
You have a lump below your left ear where your jaw meets your neck. This could be a swollen lymph node, often due to infections, or a lipoma, which is a harmless fatty lump. If it's not painful or growing quickly, it's usually not a serious issue. However, it's best to see a dermatologist to rule out any problems.

good day I am one of those who suffer from alopecia, my hair is almost gone until now my hair has not stopped falling, I want to know what is the most effective medicine to stop the falling and to grow my hair again . Right now I saw a dermatologist and what he gave me for my scalp was alpicort f. I also want to know if alpicort f is more effective than minoxidil? I am very grateful for your response.
Female | 39
Hair loss can feel tricky, but you're wise to see a dermatologist. Thinning hair, called alopecia, could be from genes, stress, or other health reasons. Alpicort F reduces scalp inflammation, while minoxidil helps hair grow back. Both may work well! Your doctor's guidance is crucial.

I have a red whelp on my neck.
Female | 59
A red whelp appears on your neck. Potentially a harmless skin irritation could be from rubbing against something rough. Or, perhaps caused by reacting to a specific product. Sometimes bites from insects or allergies form whelps too. First, try using a cool compress and mild hydrocortisone cream. Avoid scratching, as that may worsen it. However, if symptoms persist beyond a few days, see a dermatologist.

Male | 31
The report reflects some folds of skin thickening under the armpit on both sides. There are also a few small areas filled with fluid, which could be collections. This may be the reason for slight swelling, especially on the right side. However, it is not a serious problem, but it is advisable to monitor it. If you experience any changes or discomfort, please contact a dermatologist.

I have alots of pimple and dark spots over the face
Female | 24
Pimples sprout when oil and dead cells clog pores. Red bumps might ooze sometimes. After pimples heal, dark marks linger. For help, wash your face twice daily with gentle cleanser. Don't pick pimples. Non-comedogenic lotions and products deter breakouts. A dermatologist offer creams or procedures to tame acne and dark spots.

Male | 25
Scars are a reminder of where the skin was damaged, and they can be stubborn. You've tried various methods, but they didn't completely clear your scars. Each person is unique, and treatments work differently for everyone. It's important to follow your dermatologist's guidance. Scars fade slowly, so don't lose hope.

Does Sulfamethoxazole-Trimethoprim cure Chlamydia?
Male | 19
Sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim also recognized as Bactrim is not usually used in treating chlamydia. This is because it is a bacteria that spreads through intimate contact. This may lead to painful urination, unusual discharge, and sometimes no signs at all. Normally, antibiotics such as azithromycin or doxycycline are used to cure chlamydia. If you suspect that you have the disease, it is important to get tested and treated so as to avoid any further complications.
