Pregnant with twins experiencing painful and itchy welts?
hello, i am 22. i am 18 weeks pregnant with twins. Recently my skin has been breaking out into the PAINFUL & VERY ITCHY welts all over my body, and there are days where it is hard to walk because my feet & legs would be so sore from them. as well as my hands. Ive spoke with my OB and a couple of doctors upon ER visits, but they have no idea what it is, and are jist diagnosing me with ‘hives’. i am not allergic to anything that i know of, i havent done anything new or different, but i would like some answers.

Those itchy welts sound uncomfortable. They could be hives - red, swollen bumps caused by stress or hormonal changes when you're expecting. With twins, your body may react more. For relief, try cool baths and loose clothes. Use mild lotions too. Keep talking to a dermatologist about managing symptoms best.

Itches in the genital area
Male | 43
Intimate itching roots from different sources such as chemicals, infections, and allergies. The most common signs involve redness, swelling, or unease. Probable causes of this type of infection are fungi, bacteria, or skin problems. Besides practicing good hygiene, try to wear clothing that breathes, and do not use harsh soap. Itching soother creams can also help. Nevertheless, if the irritation does not go away or it gets worse, I suggest having a dermatologist evaluation will help you.

Female | 25
You may have a skin condition called folliculitis which can cause itching and tiny red bumps on your skin. This happens when the follicles become inflamed caused by the growth of hairs. Try washing with soft soap, avoiding tight clothes, and keeping your skin hydrated. If it doesn't itching, see a dermatologist for more advice.

Your inner thighs may have eczema - an itchy, scaly skin condition. Not changing underwear for days could worsen it. Keep skin clean and moisturized. Don't scratch! Use mild soap and lotion to soothe. Visit a dermatologist if it troubles you.

I am 15 year old female and my lower face is darker than my upper face. It's not pigmentation or pimple patches. It's totally darker than my upper face. It starts from my chubby chicks to jawline
Female | 15
You might have a medical condition named acanthosis nigricans. It can sometimes cause the lower face to be darker than the rest. It's not dangerous but could be a sign of something more serious, like insulin resistance, that is happening inside your body. You can fix this by eating cleaner, being active, and maintaining skin health. Furthermore, consume a lot of water.

I am 18 year old last month i got pimple on my face and i just pinch it off everytime and now i have black spot on my face and i just want to get rid of it what should i do i can share picture if you want!!

It seems like you’ve got post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation after popping your zits. These can result in dark marks on your face. To fade them away, consider trying out products that contain vitamin C, niacinamide, or kojic acid as ingredients. Sun protection is key since UV rays can worsen the appearance of these spots. Also, remember not to irritate your skin further to avoid more dark spots.

One of my friend kid eat e capsule which is used for hair and skin she is using for hair growth by putting e capsule in oil by mistake the kid is eaten e capsule green colour layer of e capsule so it is problem for her kid
Female | 2
The thought of the child of your friend swallowing the capsule should not be a cause of much worry. More often than not, these are pure nutrient capsules, so the threat may be relatively minor. The signs might be something like mild upset of the stomach, the child might also experience nausea. Monitor the child for any possible adverse reactions. Tell the parent to give the child quite a few drinks and await for any discomfort.

In this way, you would like to eat a balanced diet, deal with stress, and use harmless products for hair treatment. If the issue persists, it's advisable to consult a dermatologist who can help find other options.

Hi doc , there is some hyperpigmentation on my ear cocha , but it been a years I have that in both ears
Female | 27
Some common causes of ear discoloration can be excessive sunlight, hormone modifications, or genetic conditions. It would be wise to have an appointment with the dermatologist so that a careful evaluation and diagnosis can be done. Sunlight exposure and sunscreen should be good enough to give suitable treatment options like topical creams or laser therapy to lighten the pigmentation.

You ingested deep freeze gel by mistake, which can upset your tummy. The gel might contain unsafe ingredients if swallowed. Don't worry, but act quickly. Drink water to dilute the gel. Rinse your mouth thoroughly too. If symptoms worsen like breathing troubles, visit a doctor right away.

I'm Prashant Sharma and I'm 18 years old. In winter season due to much cold my fingers of both foot and hand have swell and itching and it happens many times for last 4-5 years or may be from childhood I don't remember.
Male | 18
This problem could be caused by poor blood circulation or by your sensitivities to changes in temperature, consequently, those being potential indications of issues such as Raynaud's phenomenon. To ease the discomfort you feel, make sure that you keep your arms and legs warm and do not let the skin get wet, and perhaps also use moisturizers to deal with the dryness. In the event of persistent symptoms or exacerbation, I advise you to see a dermatologist to get an in-depth checkup. Strengthened by their professional advice and treatment choices, one finds the necessary personal mitigating factors.

Hi I got red spot and dots because I sat on the toilet with disinfectant it’s itchy and it appeared few days after
Female | 21
You might have a skin reaction to the disinfectant. The red spots and dots, together with the itchiness, may be caused if your skin comes in contact with a strong chemical such as bleach. For this, wash the area with soap and water gently so that you remove any disinfectant residues. The next time you use a mild disinfectant instead. Your skin needs time to recover, so if it gets worse instead of a percentage, see a dermatologist for more care.
