Answered on 8th July '24
You have a white sour taste in your mouth that won't go away even after scraping it off. According to my experience, this might be caused by smoking or alcohol which irritates the mouth hence this recurring problem. To solve this problem, reduce smoking and taking alcohol. Ensure that your teeth are always clean and don’t forget to scrape your tongue. If this doesn't work out for you then I would advise you to visit a dentist who will further guide you on what to do.

I'm 22 years of age . I'm experiencing severe hairfall now. Thickness is reducing day by day especially crown area. I have dandruff issue too. In some parts when I touch my scalp using fingers I can feel a small round bald area.
Male | 22
Hello sir since your hair loss is rapid and dandruff issue could be more of flaking, due to DHT(Dihydrotestesterone) which is the root cause of hair loss also known as andogenetic alopecia.... PRP, laser, minoxidil 5% would be an ideal solution for such hair loss condition.

Nasty boil down below. Female. Bathed for 3 weeks. Burst but now not leaking but swelling. Have antibiotics. BUT WILL IT BURST ALONE?
Female | 55
Aching and red bumps filled with pus are caused by microbes that enter the skin through cuts or hair follicles. It's good that the bump has burst, but the swelling is still a concern. Being on antibiotics should help fight the infection. The boil will usually drain on its own, and taking a bath and applying warm compresses can help it heal faster. If you develop a fever or the swelling worsens, see a dermatologist.

I have low hair density from birth and I also have thin hairs
Male | 16
Genetics can play a role, and sometimes certain health conditions are involved. Solutions include using gentle hair products, avoiding excessive heat styling, and eating a balanced diet rich in vitamins and proteins to promote growth. It's best to consult a dermatologist for personalized advice and to identify any underlying causes. Remember, it's important to embrace your hair's natural qualities.

I think mujhe alergy hai but kisse I don't know meri back p or neck p or aage ki side bhot sari funsies like pimples something like that bhot sare ho rkhe h my back is full of that eska reason kya h what is the solution of this problem.
Female | 22
You might have acne, a skin issue that causes small pimples on your back, neck, and chest. Acne happens when oil and dead skin cells clog hair follicles. Hormones, stress, or certain foods can sometimes trigger acne flare-ups. To help reduce acne, gently wash the affected areas with a mild cleanser and avoid using oily products. If it's bothering you, see a dermatologist.

Infection after shaving i think as ingrown hairs turned into boils that have puss in them how can I treat this at home
Female | 17
If ingrown hair has turned into painful boils with pus, try cleaning the area gently with warm water and soap. Apply warm compresses and avoid picking at the boils. Using over the counter antibiotics and wearing loose clothing can help. Maintain good hygiene and consider pain relief if needed. However, if the situation doesn't improve, worsens, or spreads, consult a dermatologist for proper treatment.

Hi doctor, I'm experiencing skin redness and severe itching. and it's really uncomfortable. Please let me know about regarding the cause and medications if any thanks
Male | 25
You’re dealing with a skin problem known as eczema. Eczema can make the skin red and extremely itchy because it’s inflamed. You should use mild skin care products regularly and moisturize often to help yourself. If you need relief, try using some over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream. Don’t scratch or it will get worse. In case these signs don’t go away or become worse, see a dermatologist for more help.

Male | 18
The dark circles under your eyes can be annoying. The reasons might be lack of sleep, stress, or even allergies. However, rubbing your eyes a lot can also be the reason. Try sleep management, stress management, and not rubbing your eyes for a while. You can use cold compresses or eye cream as well.

Whether your baby's eczema is one of the conditions that is common, it causes the skin to become dried out, itchy and inflamed. A pediatric dermatologist should be consulted as soon as possible after the detection and should be done correctly for diagnosis and treatment.

My hair is very thin and less volume how to increase my hair volume and thickness
Female | 18
If a person’s hair is too light and flat, maybe that’s how they’re born or they age, they have bad diet or style it too much. When hair becomes thin it could fall off in some areas leading to baldness. Eat a variety of foods with proteins, vitamins minerals in order to make hair thicker and increase its volume. Don’t use heat tools or strong chemicals on your hair, apply softening shampoos and conditioners then dry gently. Seek advice from a dermatologist who can give you specific instructions.

i randomly got a red lump on my upper back . it’s red but it does not hurt . it’s swore and there’s like a black hole in the middle of it too . it’s also pretty warm . i would think it’s a blackhead but i’m not exactly sure
Male | 24
It seems like you could be suffering from what is known as folliculitis, or skin abscess. These usually start as red lumps that are painful when touched and often contain pus inside. They are caused by bacteria entering the body through cuts on the skin but can also occur near hair follicles if they become infected. It’s important not to try and squeeze them because this could push the infection further into your system; instead, apply a warm flannel or hot water bottle wrapped in a towel over the area several times a day which should help draw out any trapped matter. If this issue continues, you can visit a dermatologist.

Montelukast sodium and fexofenadine hydrochloride is this tablet for skin allergy
Female | 45
Yes, Montelukast sodium and fexofenadine hydrochloride are two of the medications used to cure skin allergies. Skin allergy patients usually get symptoms like itching, redness, and rashes. They perform this role by impeding the action of those substances on the parasympathetic nervous system. Consult an allergist before starting these medications for your skin allergies.

Hi...i am having itchy rash outside my vagina and thighs , its been 2days
Female | 24
Fungal infections can lead to an itchy rash in the vaginal and thigh area. The warm and humid climate is an ideal growth environment for fungi. Keep the area dry and clean. You can use antifungal creams available over the counter to help clear it up. Moreover, wearing loose and breathable clothes is also important.
