Answered on 23rd May '24
The skin appears darker or more pigmented usually after the first session of Q-switch laser treatment for hyperpigmentation. The treatment causes a temporary inflammation in the skin, which increases melanin production and darkens of the skin.
Talk to your dermatalogist as they can adjust the treatment parameters or suggest alternative treatment options based on your skin type and concerns.

I am experiencing some concerning symptoms around the genital area. There is significant redness on the head of the penis and on the skin when it is pulled back. Additionally, a large, raised bump that resembles a pus-filled lesion has appeared on the head of the penis. There is also an unpleasant smell that persists despite washing and maintaining hygiene. The area has small spots and pimples, and the overall appearance is quite inflamed and abnormal. I also feel a burning sensation and itching in the area, which have not improved with regular cleaning. I would appreciate your guidance on this. I am not very sexually active(once a month)

The redness, bumps, and horrible odor are the issues, and the burning and the itching bother you more than they should. Proper hygiene is a defense against the illness; however, self-treatment may not be effective. You should go to a dermatologist to be examined thoroughly and receive accurate tests. They can draw up a diagnostic and treatment plan that suits your condition and deals with the symptoms efficiently.

Male | 22
Ling ki skin issues can arise from various factors, including irritation, allergies, or infections. Symptoms may include redness, itching, or discomfort. It’s important to identify the underlying cause to choose the right treatment. For relief, gentle cleansing and moisturizing, along with avoiding irritants, are helpful. Over-the-counter creams may also be beneficial. However, I recommend consulting a dermatologist to receive personalized advice and appropriate medication if needed.

I am confused in between lipoma and cancer. I have some reports can you please confirm that what i have tumer lipoma or cancer tumer. The doctor is not clearly telling anything to me.
Male | 30
It’s completely understandable to have concerns about lumps and the differences between conditions like lipomas and cancerous tumors. Lipomas are typically soft, painless fatty growths that move easily under the skin. In contrast, malignant tumors often present with changes in size, shape, or tenderness. For clarity, I recommend gathering the reports and seeking a second opinion from a dermatologist. They can review your specific situation and offer the best guidance.

Under legs abscess problem plz suggestions any tube medicine
Male | 26
This is often caused by a bacterial infection in a hair follicle or sweat gland which gets infected. To heal it, you may need to consult a dermatologist. After removing it, they may also use an antibiotic cream or pills to get away from the infection. Please clean the area carefully and do not press or attempt to rupture the abscess yourself.

Lipoma in left lumbar region.
Male | 45
Lipomas are the benign, slow growing tumors of fat tissues. Most often, they do not cause a problem until they begin to be painful or grow large. Dermatologist can diagnose and treat lipomas. Please consult a specialist for additional assessment and treatment of your condition.

thats normal on my pubic hair have like blackhead ?
Female | 22
It’s common to notice small, dark spots or bumps in the pubic area. These can be due to ingrown hairs, clogged follicles, or even harmless skin conditions like folliculitis. To alleviate discomfort, gently exfoliate the area and keep it clean. Avoid tight clothing to lessen irritation. Using a soothing moisturizer can help, too. If you experience pain, persistent irritation, or unusual changes, it’s wise to consult a dermatologist for personalized advice and care.

I am 21 year old female , Iam feeling some changes in my vagina from last one month there are some bumps appear on the prenium area and I consult a doctor online she said it'll go away it's on , but now they've increased , they are painless and are only feeling when I am touching them
Female | 21
Lumps on the perineum have been getting more numerous with time and don’t hurt unless they’re touched - it could be genital warts. They are caused by a virus called HPV and are common among young people. They can be treated so make sure you see a doctor for proper diagnosis and management. It’s important to look after yourself; therefore, it would be best if you got examined as well as discussed treatment options with a dermatologist.

Female | 22
Breasts changing color and feeling more sensitive is common. This could happen due to hormones, irritated skin, or blood flow changes. Look for other issues like pain or lumps too. If changes last or worry you, talk to a doctor for a checkup.

Hello Doctor I have a knife cut on my hand there a small visible wound scar how can a fade it please Thank you,
Female | 19
To help minimize the appearance of the scar, keeping the area moisturized with products like vitamin E oil or silicone gel can be beneficial. It's also vital to protect it from sun exposure, as UV rays can darken scars. Additionally, gentle massage around the scar tissue may promote healing. If you notice any redness, swelling, or increased pain, or if the wound isn’t healing well, I recommend visiting a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation.

What causes one side of your face to swell all of a sudden
Female | 33
Parotitis, a swollen saliva gland, strikes suddenly. The gland blocks, causing enlargement, soreness, and reddening. In this state, fluids, heat, and professional assessment provide relief. Hydrating abundantly eases discomfort. Applying warmth soothes inflammation. Visit a dermatologist or a dentist for treatment.

Female | 27
You may have a combination of shiny skin, hyperpigmentation, pimples on your forehead, and spots on your cheeks. Overactive oil glands are a magnet for pimples which consecutively leave dark marks. Stress, hormones, and your diet could all contribute to making it severe. Tanning or irritating your skin might be responsible for brown spots. To fix your issue, gently clean it every day using cleansing products; you can get some over-the-counter drugs meant for treating acne then apply them as instructed, and protect it against the sun by wearing sunscreen all the time.

i have pigmentation patches on my face since last 3 years. my treatment was run last 3 years but the still the condition are equal. what can i do.
Female | 28
Those pigmented areas on your face for the past three years must be showing literally on your skin because they are probably highly noticeable. Melasma is a condition that can be brought about by exposure to sunlight, hormonal changes, or a person's genes. Since your last treatment did not manage the condition, see a dermatologist.

Male | 19
This can occur as a result of clogged pores, excessive oil production, or the bacteria causing infections. The symptoms may be red bumps, pus-filled pimples, or even itching. For the already mentioned purpose, cleaning the area regularly, wearing breathable underwear, and staying away from harsh soaps are recommended. On the other hand, if the problem persists or it worsens, it is advisable to visit a dermatologist for consultation.

It seems like you’re feeling a lot of burning. The cause may be a urinary tract infection, what you eat, or even acid reflux. Drink lots of water and stay away from spicy foods. If it doesn’t get better, see a urologist.

I have infection on penis
Male | 29
It’s important to understand that symptoms like irritation, redness, or discharge can be signs of various conditions, such as infections from bacteria or fungi. These issues may arise due to poor hygiene, irritation from products, or sexual activity. To address this, maintain good personal hygiene, avoid irritants, and consider using mild soaps. However, visiting a sexologist is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Itching and small white bumps in that area can have various causes, such as irritation, infections, or skin conditions. Maintaining proper hygiene by keeping the area clean and dry is vital. Avoid using harsh soaps or irritants. You may also consider applying a gentle moisturizer if irritation persists. If symptoms continue or worsen, it’s best to consult a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment.

It's understandable to feel concerned about the bumps you've described. These could be caused by various factors such as friction, sweat, or even a mild skin infection. It's important to keep the area clean and dry, and wearing loose, breathable clothing can help prevent further irritation. Over-the-counter creams containing hydrocortisone might reduce inflammation and discomfort. However, since your condition seems severe, I recommend consulting a dermatologist. They can provide a thorough examination and more specific treatment options tailored to your situation.

Feeling itching on Back of my palm and fingers during midnight between 2 to 5am . Unable to sleep because of that .
Male | 43
This may happen due to many reasons, such as dry skin, eczema or allergies and contact dermatitis. Itch sensations may also be heightened at night due to the natural circadian rhythm of the body. It is advised to apply a hypoallergenic moisturizer before going to bed, which can mitigate symptoms of dry skin. It is possible to manage allergic reactions by identifying potential triggers such as certain soaps or fabrics and avoiding them. If chronic or aggravating, it is so recommended to consult a dermatologist for an in-depth evaluation and tailored treatment options targeting the true cause of nighttime scratch.
