You are suffering from a band called pilonidal cysts. These swellings may lead to discomfort and soreness in the rear end. Pilonidal cysts are the results of hair follicles blocking each other. If you are looking for natural remedies, you can use warm compresses and over-the-counter pain relievers to ease the pain. It is recommended to visit a dermatologist for the right diagnosis and treatment.

Iam 20 year female. I have a burned scar on my cheeks. Is there any remedy to cure and leave the scar as soon as possible?

Female | 20

Injuries can be the result of heat, chemicals, or sun exposure. Until then, keep the area clean and do not scratch it. The application of aloe vera or honey can help to relieve the scar. With time, it will become less noticeable, but be careful as scars are slow to vanish. It is not enough to wear a hat in the sun, make sure you also avoid getting darkened by it.

Hi Team, This is regarding to my mother who age is 55. She got burning feet from so many years and nowadays she is getting on the hands as well. Just want to know what is the reason and is there any oilment or tablet to cure her problem.

Female | 55

Without a proper evaluation and diagnosis, it is difficult to understand the cause of the problem. I suggest taking your mother to a right doctor. Based on your mother's medical history and certain evaluations, he will be able to know the cause of burning feet and hands and can suggest an appropriate treatment. Hope this proved helpful.

I have pimples what is the best treatment for pimples and also acne and how to remove tan

Female | 15

Pimples, acne, and tan are usual skin problems. Red bumps are the assets of the pimple, while a bunch of pimples adds up to a pimple. They are the result of both oily skin and dirt on it. The face can be washed twice a day to achieve this. Implements such as benzoyl peroxide can be used to cure them. Tan is dark skin which is the result of the sun. Using sunscreen can prevent this. Getting rid of the tan takes time, use the skin-lightening creams or laser treatments instead.

I am 19 yr olg I am effected to fungal acne on my face from past 2 months ,I also followed a treatment but it's not working instead of reducing its evan making more worse , I am so insecure abt my skin I can't even explain, I feel so disappointed evan to go to my college..... so can please suggest me a skin care which will help to clear completely and as soon as possible

Female | 19

Fungal acne may appear as very small pimples on your skin, especially the face area. It is by the yeast that lives on your skin. For it to get cleared off, use a non-irritating wash with salicylic acid, unhitch thick creams, and introduce antifungal substances such as tea tree oil. I want you to appreciate the process; it may require some time before you see a difference.

I have fungal infection in my groin area and around belly button. I have been using this medicine ketoconazole neomycin dexpanthenol iodochlorhydroxyquinoline tolnaftate & clobetasol propionate cream for quite some time but it is not able to cure the problem. I'm maintaining a strong hygiene too. Please recommend something

Male | 23

I suggest that you visit a dermatologist who is capable of diagnosing the type and level of the fungal infection. The treatment plan will be based on the diagnosis. Prescription of the suitable antifungal medication will be done followed by advice on hygiene practices to prevent further infection.

I have fungal infection ringworm

Male | 16

Ringworm is a cutaneous infection which a fungus causes. Symptoms such as red, itchy, and scaly spots that look like circles may occur on the skin. The ringworm can be transmitted through contact with infected people, pets, or objects like shared towels. Therapy involves antifungal creams or tablets. You can also prevent the spreading of the infection by keeping the area clean and dry.
