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 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.

I am a 22 year old female, my breasts have become more pale and sensitive as of late, and am unsure why.
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.

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.

I have oily skin and acne marks and acne on my forehead And my face , brown spot in my face
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.

Hi I am 19 years old and I am suffering from pimples on penies and amy I know what is the solution for this.
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.

Female | 21
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.

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.

Hello I am Saurabh I am 21 years old, I have allergy problem, black spot and rash between my legs and excessive itching, and also around penis.
Male | 21
You may have encountered a typical problem called a fungal infection. The black spots, rash, and itching between your legs and around your penis are symptoms of this infection. Fungus infections are likely to develop in warm, moist areas such as the groin. So, keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting cotton clothes, and use an anti-fungal cream. if the symptoms don't improve, visit a dermatologist.

Male | 21
This may be the said alopecia areata, a condition in which your hair forms spots and then falls. Stress, genetics, and certain illnesses are the underlying causes. The hair grows back in the majority of cases without treatment. If you find it interesting, you can consult a dermatologist, and discuss what might have caused the condition and whether there are options for treatment. ?

Itchy, mosquito-like bumps that appear randomly on your body after unprotected sex could be an allergic reaction or a sign of a skin infection. It's important to see a dermatologist as soon as possible to properly diagnose and treat the condition.

I am a 22 year old female. I have many unwanted facial hair. It started years ago but it spreading to a lot of places on my face. I also have hair on several places where women are supposed to have. Please what should I do to get rid of them.
Female | 22
It seems that you may have a condition called hirsutism, which means women develop hair in areas where men normally do. Hormonal imbalances, genetics, or polycystic ovary syndrome could be responsible for this. To solve the problem, consult with a dermatologist who can suggest treatments such as drugs to regulate hormones or laser hair removal.

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.

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.

Male | 8
You may have a skin disease known as eczema. Eczema is a skin condition that develops itchy red lumps on the affected area. This case is common in children of your age. The reasons could be the problems of dry skin and allergic reactions. Use moisturizing lotion to keep your skin soft and stop it from itching. Sometimes the physician might prescribe a specific cream to help you with the itch.

The red and circular patches that have spread all over your body might be ringworm. This is a fungal infection that requires specific antifungal drugs like Terbinafine or Clotrimazole in many cases. The affected areas should be kept tidy and dry; loose clothes may also be worn.

Female | 27
You are afraid of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome from drugs. It is a rare but serious skin reaction. Symptoms can be flu-like symptoms, a rash, and blisters on the skin. Medicines or infections can cause it. Before starting any new medicine, speak with your doctor if this is something that concerns you. They will be able to help you choose what might work best for you and watch out for signs of trouble.

My son has woken up from a nap with a read mark in a line. It is thick and red. I’m really worried.
Male | 0
Your son may have a skin issue called "dermatographia," meaning, "skin writing." When pressure touches the skin, red lines appear. It's not severe and commonly disappears by itself. Perhaps he laid on something leaving a mark. If it disturbs him, or worsens, consulting a dermatologist would be wise.
