What to do about growing white spots on back?
Hi, my brother is having these white spots on his back right below neck. It was a tiny spot and now it is increasing. What should we do?

Answered on 15th July '24
Your brother may have a condition called tinea versicolor. It occurs when areas of the skin get discolored with white pigmentation. Since there are yeasts that occur, they are the result of the infection of the skin. The circles get bigger if the weather is warm and wet. Use an antifungal cream or medicated shampoo to help you out. Visit a dermatologist to get a proper solution for his condition.

Hair fall can happen due to many reasons, like stress, poor diet, or not taking care of your hair. It’s good to eat healthy foods and be gentle on your hair when washing it. Consider using a mild shampoo and avoiding tight hairstyles that may cause breakage. If the hair fall doesn't stop, visit a dermatologist for treatment.

If I have a wringworm and start putting blue star ointment on it 3 times a day but also put cortisone cream to soothe the itch will it cause the fungus to spread?
Female | 15
Using it together on a wringworm can actually make the fungus spread. It is recommended to only use antifungal medication to treat a wringworm, and consult a dermatologist for proper treatment.

Pimple and Pimple marks in face
Female | 27
Pimple marks are small bumps that can be red, swollen, or have pus, the pinky-gray of the skin. These things are generated when the pores become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Pimple marks are dark or red spots left behind after a pimple goes away. In order to reduce your chances of getting pimples, you should wash your face regularly, stay away from oily products, and never pick or squeeze the pimples. Apply products that contain benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to treat them.

Male | 34
It seems like a case of fungal infection; a skin condition that may cause itching and redness on the lower part of the skin. It is caused by germs which thrive well in warm and moist areas. Keeping the skin dry and clean, using antifungal creams as well as putting on loose clothes can be helpful. To avoid further irritation, kindly refrain from scratching.

Hi doctor, My age is 22, I have a gray hair since 5 years. So, how to reverse my premature gray hair. Suggest me some medicines.
Male | 22
Gray hair may show up sooner than expected. This results when the body produces less melanin pigment. Stress, heredity, and certain health issues contribute. There's no magic cure for gray, but lifestyle changes could help maintain healthy hair. A balanced diet, stress management, and avoiding smoking make a difference. If concerned, consult a dermatologist about premature graying.

How to remove a mole faster
Male | 19
Getting moles removed should always happen with a doctor's help. Sometimes, moles need to be removed if problematic or for looks. Never try removing a mole yourself - infection and scarring risks exist. Doctors use shaving, cutting, or lasers to remove moles, based on size and spot. If a bothersome mole exists, see a dermatologist about safe removal options.

I want treat my skin disorders called mild psoriasis. I don't know that is true or not so need suggestions.. and treatment regarding it.
Male | 21
You have mild psoriasis – which is a common skin condition. Signs may include red scaly patches that can itch or burn. The causes are not entirely known but are believed to be connected with the immune system. To help control your symptoms, try using moisturizers more frequently; also stay away from any known irritants if possible. If you have access to the sun, try getting some sunlight in affected areas. You can also visit a dermatologist to treat this condition.

Female | Jagriti
Mesodew Lite Cream SPF 15 is the product that this creamy substance is made to serve as a physical barrier, blocking UV rays from damaging the skin. In some cases, it may result in a reddening of the skin, the appearance of a rash, or the development of acne. If these conditions happen, discontinue applying the cream. Check with your dermatologist before you apply the cream to your whole body Do a patch test first. Washing your hands after applying the cream is also important, and don't let it get into your eyes.

Can you suggest some supplements brands or products for skin brightening or whole body
Female | 22
For brighter skin or improved complexion, you can try supplements with Vitamin C and Vitamin E. If you're dealing with dullness, these vitamins can help give your skin a healthy glow. Consider reliable brands like Nature's Bounty or NOW Foods. Be sure to read the label carefully and consult your pharmacist or doctor before starting any new supplement.

Female | 28
You need to use a vitamin C serum that can contain up to 10% L-ascorbic acid so that it can help to lighten the spots on the skin and improve its complexion. Regular acne and scarring should be taken by the dermatologist. I suggest obtaining a dermatologist’s opinion.

I have (in the last 24 hours) developed unusual blisters on my hands, fingers, nose, and cheek. Two mornings ago I woke up with a fever and chills (it has since subsided) and took Advil to help, but after two rounds of taking it, I noticed the bottle was a few years expired--perhaps this is related?
Male | 23
In the past 24 hours, if you have developed strange blisters around your hands, fingers cheek and nose then it is necessary to see a dermatologist. However, even if the expired Advil has no connection to the blisters, it is still essential never to take any medication after its expiration date. Seek specialized medical care in case your condition does not improve.

White patches on my shaft. Painless but lots of them. I have had unprotected sex in the last 7 days. Of course going to get tested but have not seen any pictures online matching. Please advise thanks
Male | 38
White patches on your shaft are around sometimes because of a fungal infection called candidiasis or a disorder like lichen planus. These can show up after sex, especially if unprotected. These can be cured by taking medications ordered by a doctor after proper diagnosis.

I have skin ache for almost a week and it mostly start at night. When ever I scratch it the place will swollen a little and some turn to wound. I have applied different oilment but it only reliefs and continue the next day. Kindly advise
Male | 37
You might be having eczema, a skin condition. Eczema can lead your skin to get itchy, swell up, and be susceptible to wounds when scratched. This condition can aggravate at night due to the temperature and humidity changes. The ointments can give a momentary comfort, but it is crucial to recognize the triggers like some soaps or foods. Use a mild, unscented moisturizer and scratch less to avoid further irritation. If the symptoms do not go away, then it is better to see a dermatologist who can assess and manage the problem properly.

having skin underarms red and pores
Male | 22
The reason for the problem might be enlarged pores and redness of the skin under your arms. This can be due to a combination of friction from your clothes, too much sweating, or using too strong chemicals on the skin. As a suggestion, try to wear more loose clothes, use soap that has no fragrances, and keep the area dry. If the situation doesn't improve, visit a dermatologist for more options.

Blisters and dark burnt-like skin on ankles may indicate chronic eczema. Itching, redness, and thickened skin occur. It lasts over a year. Causes include genetics, skin dryness, or irritants. Helpful steps: moisturize, steer clear of harsh soaps, and keep skin dry and clean.
