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.

Good afternoon. I am Subhankar Sir/mam The skin on my testicles is peeling off. There is some white coloured powder or it smells. Sometimes it itches too.
Male | 20
You likely have a fungus on your testicle. The symptoms you have mentioned like the peeling of skin, white substance, and smell, along with itching, appear to be a normal fungal infection. They may be caused by the lack of hygiene or tight clothes. This can be solved by keeping a dry and clean environment, wearing loose clothes, and using a pharmacist-recommended antifungal cream.

I have very light black horizontal line on my fingernail
Male | 14
Typically it's nothing to worry about. These lines are usually due to small traumas to the nail or sometimes nutritional deficiencies. If the line is new and you can’t remember any injury, it’s best to keep an eye on it. Eating well-rounded meals and being gentle with your nails can help prevent these lines. If you notice any changes or other symptoms, seek advice from a dermatologist.

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.

Female | 42
A rash on your legs seems quite concerning. It might be ringworm, showing circular reddish patches. Ringworm often causes itchiness and burning sensations. Keep affected areas dry and clean. Try antifungal creams from stores, they may help clear it. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, see a dermatologist. Many skin issues are treatable when properly addressed, so there's no need to panic unduly. With proper care, the condition should improve.

Male | 22
You might have a fungal infection in your private parts, known as the ringworm. The condition is characterized by itching, redness, and a ring-like rash occurring in warm moist places. It may get worse when one is sweating. Antifungal creams or powders can be used to treat it. Additionally, keep the affected area clean and dry for quick healing. Visit a dermatologist if the condition persists.

Age-41yrs. From last 3 years suffering from a black patch all around my lips, specially below the lips on both sides. I had visited a doctor there who detected the problem to be Perical pig / Melasma Pg as written in the prescription. Treated me with the following medicines For the 1st month- Cetaphil gentle cleanser, Flutivate E cream alternate night and Kojic cream once in a day. Next visit I was advised to use Kojiglo cream once daily, Eukroma+Flutivate E cream on the patches twice a week. But I did not find any difference. I had informed the doctor that I cannot afford a very costly treatment, but on her assurance during my third visit I was applied Glycocil pack but yet felt no difference. Then was asked to use Dermadew Caloe lotion every day and Azideenz 10% gel once a day, this gel made my skin rough, when complained she advised me to use only Dermadew lotion day and night daily. My face is 2 to 3 shades darker than my body color. What to do now to get rid of this patch
Female | 41
Without a proper evaluation and diagnosis, I can't say. But normally, suggested treatments for perical pigmentation include topical medications and laser treatments and I do not recommend flutivate cream for pigmentation. However, based on your individual condition, the doctor will recommend the best treatment for you.

Allergy swelling in hands
Female | 32
You most likely are facing swelling of your hands that is induced by an allergy. Allergies develop when the body reacts to a certain stimulus that it doesn't like, which results in swelling. Redness, itching, or even puffiness are the possible symptoms you may get on your hands. The most common causes of allergies can be some foods, insect bites, or even contact with some things. To help with swelling, consider taking antihistamines and avoiding your allergy triggers.

Male | 16
According to what you mentioned, you may have developed cheek pain without any redness or feeling cold. This can a condition known as trigeminal neuralgia which causes sudden and severe facial pains. Make sure you rest, use warm moist clothes on your face then take over-the-counter painkillers. However, if it does not improve or gets worse then you need to see a doctor for further advice.

can doxycycline and ambroxol capsules cure syphilis
Male | 24
Syphilis is an infection passed through sexual contact. It can cause sores, a rash, fever, and damage to the body if not treated properly. Doxycycline and ambroxol capsules won't heal syphilis. Syphilis is treated with certain antibiotics that are prescribed by doctors. It's the right way to get a diagnosis and treatment of complications. Don't let it go on; go to a doctor if you suspect you have syphilis.

I have suspected genital herpes and had a 5 day course of Aciclovir which finished about 12 days ago. It was improving but I can feel another sore coming. Is this a new outbreak or oart of the same outbreak and do I take another course of Aciclovir?
Female | 30
An old sore and a new one on the genital area may be part of the same outbreak. It is strongly advised that you get a dermatologist’s or a sexually transmitted infections specialist’s opinion for a proper diagnosis. They could evaluate your situation and see if Aciclovir is still a good therapeutic option or not.

Female | 19
You could be facing excessive hair thinning and loss due to several reasons like stress, poor diet, or hormonal changes. Schedule an appointment with a dermatologist to diagnose the problem. However, focus on a rich supply of vitamins and minerals, as well as avoiding harsh chemicals on the hair after consulting a dermatologist.

My doctor prescribed me a sylicylic acid and glycolic acid facewash I have dry and pimple skin I have used this product and it clear my skin but after some time I again got pimples
Female | 27
The salicylic and glycolic acid facewash cleared pimples at first, but they returned later. These acids sometimes dry out the skin too much. This causes more oil production, leading to pimples again. Instead, use a gentle, moisturizing face wash. Be sure to moisturize properly. This keeps skin balanced, hydrated, and prevents more pimple problems.

Female | 20
Genital herpes is a viral infection. It leads to red bumps, discomfort, and swelling in the vaginal region. This illness gets passed through sexual activity. To confirm the diagnosis and receive treatment, consulting a dermatologist proves essential. They will prescribe medications to alleviate symptoms and avert future flare-ups.

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.

Treatment for open pores
Female | 26
One of the most frequent concerns facing people is the openness of the pores. Open pores can cause rough and uneven skin. The causes of these pores usually include genetics, oiliness, sunburn, and even old age. One of the ways to decrease the face of open pores is to use salicylic acid or retinoids for day and night skin treatment. Regular cleansing of your face followed by application of sunscreen can also be helpful.
