Could Balanitis be causing my penile infection issue?
HI, I am suffering from Balanitis - Infection of Penis and Foreskin
Trichologist
Answered on 28th Aug '24
Balanitis means the penis, as well as the foreskin, gets infected. It can cause the skin to become red, sore, and itchy. This situation arises due to germs such as bacteria or fungi. Appropriate hygiene can prevent this; ensure the area is clean and dry. If it's giving you grief, you might need a dermatologist to prescribe some cream to help clear it up.

I have been bit by a person in my hand a few says ago. The area is red now. What should I do about it?
Female | 24
The redness you see might be a cause of infection. It can be managed by washing the area properly with soap and water. Next, put an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment and cover it with a bandage. If the redness starts to expand, you get a fever, or if there is pus, seek medical help immediately.

Hi my name is Neville I'm 26 yrs old male, I have skin problems and I went to the hospital and skin specialist said that I have chromic PV which is fungal infection and he suggested me to take clotrimazole lotion externally for 3 weeks and I'm here to ask you can I take glutathione? My face and neck turned black. It's contrast from the body.
Male | 26
A fungus has recently infected your skin, which may have caused your face and neck to turn black. Are these the results of the infection getting worse? The clotrimazole lotion given by your doctor is intended to clear the infection. Glutathione is not required at the moment. The lotion should be used as prescribed and do not forget to get a follow-up appointment with a dermatologist.

Hello doctor.. I have heavy hair fall issue.. I have been facing this issue since 10 years... Currently iam using minoxidil. Recently i have done with blood tests.. No thyroid and no ferritin issues... Vit d deficiency is there.. Nd i am unmarried womam.. My hair partition width is clearly visible.. I want to take oral minoxidil.. Will you please prescribe nd plz tell me if any side effects are there..
Female | 32
Excessive hair shedding for an extended period can understandably cause distress. Having ruled out deficiencies through blood tests is a positive step. However, your Vitamin D deficiency may contribute to hair loss. Utilizing minoxidil topically could help, but oral minoxidil carries potential risks like low blood pressure and heart palpitations. Before initiating any new medication, I advise discussing the possibility of oral minoxidil with a dermatologist to carefully evaluate the pros and cons. Making an informed decision after considering all factors is crucial.

A couple days ago i noticed a large lump underneath one of my armpits. a few weeks prior my armpit had been feeling very sore and painful but i just recently looked and saw a large lump and there was some sort of discharge leaking from it.. a few days later it’s gotten somewhat smaller but now there is a nasty raw scab growing around it and it hurts and itches. also the center of the lump is red and sticking outward and looks like it’s bleeding.

This could be a clue to some infection. See a dermatologist immediately for an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment. Immediate medical treatment is vital in such situations.

Sclerotherapy karne se gaat ho gayi hei
Male | 20
At first, the treated area might get a small bump or red spot, which is normal and could be a minor skin reaction. It may feel a bit tender or itchy for a few days. Using a cool compress can help ease the discomfort. If you experience sudden pain, notice the redness spreading, or feel the area getting hotter than the skin around it, call your dermatologist.

Anus haemorrhoids not bleeding only itching
Female | 30
Hemorrhoids cause itchiness. They're puffy veins close to the rectum. Along with itching, a pain or bulge may form there. Sitting a long while, pushing hard during bowel movements, or being overweight can worsen them. For itching relief, use soft wipes, take warm baths, don't scratch. Always keep that area tidy and arid.

I am 28 years old men having anal infection since last month can u plz help me with the correct ointment
Male | 28
An anal yeast infection might cause those symptoms you described. The area around your anus probably feels itchy and looks red. That's common when there's too much moisture or if you don't clean thoroughly. Try an antifungal cream with clotrimazole. Avoid wearing tight underwear or pants. And wash your underwear really well after wearing it. If the problem doesn't go away after trying that, you'll want to see a dermatologist.

Hi I have been on my period for a month, swallow feet,little sores that are in the skin and painful humps on my legs
Female | 35
Your period lasting an entire month is abnormal. Swollen feet, painful sores on the skin, and lumps on legs are worrisome signs. These symptoms may indicate hormonal imbalance or infection. It is crucial to consult a gynecologist promptly for examination and treatment. Neglecting these issues could lead to complications. An accurate diagnosis is essential to address the underlying cause effectively.

I'm suffering from scalp folliculitis since 2 years . I have consumed various medication as advised earlier (Tablet doxycycline, tablet metronidazole, tablet clindamycin,tablet isotretinoin).these medications ka affective only till I take the medicine and then the pustules reappear. These are very painful and very itchy .
Female | 21
This is when the hair follicles on your head become infected leading to painful sores with pus which are also itchy. I can see that the drugs that you have used before don’t seem to work well for you in the long run. One should visit a dermatologist who might prescribe stronger medications or other treatments such as medicated shampoos or creams for clearing up these infections and preventing their recurrence.

Female | 19
A Jock itch is a skin swelling or rash that is caused by a fungus. For fading scars, use creams or ointments prescribed by a doctor. The area should be kept clean and dry. To avoid getting it again, wear loose clothes, change underwear daily, and do not share towels. Do not scratch the rash. If it fails to improve, consult a dermatologist.

Female | 20
You're having an allergic reaction, which happens when your body reacts to something foreign it has come into contact with. This can cause symptoms like redness, itchiness, swelling, or hives. Common triggers include food, animals, pollen, or certain medications. To relieve symptoms, you can take an antihistamine or use a cold compress on the affected area. If your symptoms are severe or worsen, visit a dermatologist.

I am black spots my face and pimples
Male | 32
The dark spots could result from excess pigmentation or skin irritation. Pimples result from the pores being blocked and the presence of bacteria. To help, wash your face twice a day, prefer soft, antioxidant skincare products, and never touch your face. If the situation is unchanged, it is recommended to visit a dermatologist for guidance.

Skin irritation and itches
Female | 27
Skin irritation, that itchy, red feeling can come from many sources. Dry skin is common, but also allergies and bug bites. Some skin conditions cause it too. Your skin may itch, turn red, and develop a rash. Cool showers soothe irritated skin, as do moisturizing creams. Avoid scratching though, it worsens irritation. If symptoms persist or worsen, see a dermatologist.
