Hello, Sorry, but androgenetic alopecia is not curable. But thankfully there are drugs which are safe and can delay the occurrence of the condition, that is thinning and shedding of hair for many years. Also, there are surgical treatments like FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) which can help you to bring back your natural hair. But before moving forward you should consult the dermatologist and get to know whether you can get hair transplantation done or not. Hope our answer helps you.

I have some bumps from the buttom of head Since 1+year . These are not recovering and not reducing.
Male | 16
These bumps could be a result of a skin condition called folliculitis which occurs when hair follicles are inflamed. To help reduce them, apply warm compresses on the affected area and avoid wearing tight clothing around your head. If they persist, it is important to go see a dermatologist for further assessment and treatment.

Female | 29
If you've had a bump on your nose piercing for 3 years, it could be a keloid or a hypertrophic scar. Keloids are raised and can grow beyond the piercing site, while hypertrophic scars are raised but confined to the area of the piercing. It's best to consult a dermatologist to determine the exact cause and get appropriate treatment options.

How can I remove healed accident scars from face
Male | 16
Accidents often result in scars. These marks may appear pink, raised, or flat. Various treatments exist to improve scar appearance. For instance, silicone gels/sheets, laser therapy, and corticosteroid injections can potentially fade scars gradually. Visit a dermatologist for appropriate treatment. However, it's crucial to remain patient throughout the process, as visible improvement takes time.

Isotretinoin treatment available
Male | 18
Isotretinoin helps treat deep cysts and scarring acne. This medicine works great but causes dry skin and mood swings. Only dermatologists can prescribe isotretinoin. Consult with your doctor for any further information.

Sir I am suffering from ring worm from 1 month
Male | 20
Ringworm is a common skin problem. It appears as red, circular spots. The spots come from a fungus living on your skin's surface. If you had ringworm for one month, treating it is crucial. Use antifungal cream as directed. Also, keep the infected area dry and clean. Doing this helps ringworm heal quickly. Don't forget to wash your hands after touching the affected skin. If it doesn't heal, visit a dermatologist.

I am facing acne problem on my face as well as they are leaving marks on face.
Female | 28
Acne is a skin condition characterized by red pimples or “zits”. These occur when hair follicles are clogged with oil and dead skin cells. The swollen and tender pimples may or may not have pus. Mild washing of the face with a gentle cleanser is recommended. Over-the-counter acne treatment creams or gels can help address the issue, too. A dermatologist can offer more advice on dealing with such skin problems if they are a source of concern for you.

I am a 17 year old boy. I am uncircumcised. I got to know that by 17, I should be able to pull back my foreskin completely. I tried doing it and after a few painful attempts of pulling my foreskin, I did it. But the head of the penis was red and I got very uncomfortable and painful upon touching the head of the penis. I am worried about it as I have always been conscious and anxious about it. Please help me out. Thank you!
Male | 17
What you are experiencing is a common issue called Balanitis. It's prevalent in boys who were not circumcised. Symptoms consist of redness and pain when the penis head is touched. This can occur due to bad hygiene or an allergy. The best way out is to keep the place clean and dry, avoid harsh soaps, and gently hold the skin back while showering. If it doesn't work, you need to visit a dermatologist to give you further advice.

"Hey, I just noticed that today my blood vessels are a purple color, and when I try to touch them, it doesn't cause any pain only a little bit of sore otherwise im fine. It started today, and I don't feel any symptoms at all. im not on any medication.
Male | 20
Purple blood vessels on the skin can look unusual, but they're usually not a big deal. Increased pressure might make them more noticeable. If there's no pain or other symptoms, it's probably nothing to worry about. Try elevating your legs and avoiding standing for too long. However, if you're concerned, see a dermatologist for treatment.

Acne is multi-factorial problem, hormonal disease in most of the patients, diet, exercise, hygiene, grooming practices play important role.so visiting dermatologist and taking treatment is one option and maintain treatment for long time because if you are getting any improvement with the treatment then continue it otherwise dermatologist will change it. there are few things that has to be taken care. One thing not to apply hair oil, avoid having dandruff or use anti-dandruff shampoos weekly on the scalp, using face washes that have salicylic acid or glycolic acid. Avoid using thick greasy moisturizers or cream on the face. Use only creams that are gel based or water based. Drink plenty of water, avoid fat or cheesy diet, exercise 10-15 mins of the day. Topical steroids have to be avoided. Topical antibiotics like Clindamycin are useful. Oral Antibiotics or retinoids are advised.

Hi doctor, I have a problem with my ear. Every month, it starts to develop inside pimples which cause pain. This issue continues on and off every month.
Male | 24
Your ear issue might involve pimples causing pain. This could signify otitis externa, an ear canal infection. It happens when water gets trapped, or you use objects for cleaning your ears, or due to skin issues. To ease discomfort and prevent more pimples, keep ears dry, avoid inserting things inside, and consider antibiotic ear drops from a doctor. If troubles persist, promptly consult a dermatologist.

on Saturday morning I bought some trousers from a second-hand market, and I tried them on there at the market after about 6 hours I noticed some red bumps that scratched my lower leg, there are about 8 red bumps of about 1 cm on the whole leg
Male | 15
Redness and bumps appeared on your leg. It seems like an allergic reaction to materials in those trousers. The red marks could be hives or dermatitis from contact. Wash with gentle soap and water. Cool compresses reduce irritation and swelling. If itchy, antihistamines provide relief. However, if symptoms worsen instead of improving, visit a dermatologist for proper treatment

I have rednesses, swelling and itching around my penis
Male | 29
There might be a skin irritation near your penis. This could be due to sweating, using strong soaps, or wearing tight clothes. The redness, swelling, and itchiness are the main symptoms of this. To make it better, first keep the area clean and dry, secondly, wear loose-fitting clothes, and thirdly, avoid using harsh chemicals. If it doesn't improve after a week, it's better to have it checked out by a dermatologist.

I have a 14 year old daughter who has a had a itchy raised red puffy bump on her left shoulder the last two days. It happened in the middle of her basketball game. It has gotten worse from her bra strap and shirt rubbing against it. I want to know what it is and how to fix this mystery.
Female | 14
Looks like your daughter has a skin irritation that is contact dermatitis. One common type is contact dermatitis, which is caused by something rubbing against the skin and triggering redness, itching, and swelling. This thing might be her bra strap or shirt, which is the cause of the rash on her skin when it rubs against it while she is playing basketball, To make her feel better, try to use a soothing lotion or cream and let her put on clothes that are not tight enough to prevent rubbing as much as possible.
