Hi Prashant. Fungal infection of toe nail is a common in people who are in professions where there feet remain moist or have to wear shoes for long period of time. You need to keep your feet dry. Change socks twice a day. Use powder on feet before putting on socks.
For the fungal infection already there You need a long course of around 6 months of antifungal ointment. As u are having too much pain there may be superinfection by a bacteria. You would also need to use a topical antibiotic ointment for 7-10 days.

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.

I'm 28 years and suffering from PCOD. I have thick hair in chin, neck and chest. I usually use the epilator to remove the hairs but after 7-10 days, it regrows back. Can you please suggest ways to rid of it permanently?
Female | 28
• Polycystic Ovary Disease (PCOD) is caused due to production of immature or partially mature eggs by the ovaries in response to poor lifestyle, obesity, stress and hormonal balance.
• Excessive hair growth in the face, chest and back is associated with imbalance in the male hormone called Testosterone. Other symptoms associated include menstrual irregularity, acne, obesity and insulin resistance.
• Treating the underlying condition which is PCOD will help you get rid of the excessive hair growth.
• Medicine such as Clomifene is recommended for treatment as it encourages monthly release of egg from the ovaries and Metformin is prescribed to reduce the insulin resistance.
Lifestyle changes include:
Dietary Changes –
Optimum diet includes a range of foods from many food categories, including healthy carbohydrates like vegetables and fruits, lean meats like chicken, fish, and high fibre grains.
Foods with a low glycemic index enable the body to release insulin slowly and gradually, allowing your body to utilise food as energy rather than store it as fat. Fiber-rich foods also aid with blood sugar regulation.
Avoid refined carbohydrates, which are found in processed meals such as white flour, rice, potatoes, and sugar. Sugary beverages, such as soda and juice, should also be avoided.
Maintain Healthy weight –
Weight loss should be about half to 1 kg per week for 6 months, with the other method based on the amount of weight lost.
Avoid crash diets since they deprive your body of essential vitamins, carbs, proteins, and minerals.
When you go on a crash diet, your body will actually destroy muscle tissue to supply enough energy for your brain to operate.
Exercise regularly –
Aids in the fight against obesity by burning calories and increasing muscle mass, both of which reduce insulin resistance. Exercise can also help decrease cholesterol and other hormone levels, such as testosterone.
Physical activity is also vital. Moderate amounts of physical exercise for 30 to 45 minutes per day, 3 to 5 days per week, should be encouraged at first.
Consult your Gynecologists for starting with your treatment and take the aid of a nutritionist in order to design a customized diet plan.

Hello doctor I am sangeetha .I have hairfall .I have losing 70 hairs per day it is normal or not?
Female | 27
Losing some hair daily isn't unusual. Around 50-100 strands lost is normal. However, excess hair fall can occur due to various reasons. Stress, poor diet, hormone changes, and genetic factors contribute to increased shedding. If hair loss seems excessive or causes concern, consider consulting a dermatologist for guidance.

My roommate has said she had a cold sore for the last two days. And I’m a bit worried. She gave me a piece of food that she bit off of and offered me and also a drink (I didn’t drink off the straw, rather just our the cup) I’m a bit nervous, I’m not sure if she had an outbreak during those times but it was about two / three days ago. Could herpes be spread in that way? (I definitely could be uneducated but just a bit nervous)
Female | 20
Cold sores result from the herpes simplex virus spread by close contact such as kissing or sharing eating utensils. Nonetheless, passing herpes through sharing food or drinks is very unlikely. Signs may commence with a tingling sensation and itching feeling then develop into blisters on the lips or around the mouth. To avoid contracting herpes simplex virus, refrain from sharing cutlery and glasses besides washing hands often.

my pee becomes yellow after taking zincovit tablet
Male | 21
Zincovit has vitamin B2, making your urine look bright yellow, an ordinary effect. Your body discards extra vitamins it does not require, resulting in this coloring. Drink adequate water to maintain hydration. However, if the color shift troubles you or other worries arise, do inquire a urologist.

Hi good morning I have skin allergy plz can you tell me med for this
Male | 38
For skin allergies, I advise the individual to see a dermatologist who could pinpoint his/her exact condition and give a relevant treatment. Non-prescription antihistamines can help with mild symptoms, but a person who is suffering from prolonged or very serious symptoms must seek medical help.

I am 20 years old male and I suffering skin issues it looks like small water pimples I used medicine for 3 weeks but it not cured what should I do
Male | 20
You might have a skin condition called eczema, which can cause small watery bumps, itching, and some redness. Standard treatments don't always work for everyone. To relieve symptoms, use a mild moisturizer regularly, avoid strong soaps, and wear loose, natural-fiber clothing. If the problem continues, consider consulting a dermatologist for further advice and treatment.

I have pimples and acne on my face . What should I do?
Male | 15
This can happen when your skin gets too oily, pores get blocked, bacteria grows in them or hormonal changes take place. To help get rid of them, you can try washing your face with a mild soap often, don’t squeeze them, and keep your hands off your face. Over-the-counter creams or gels with benzoyl peroxide/salicylic acid may also work for you. Consider talking to a dermatologist for more help.

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.
Female | 18
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.

I am a 36 year old female and about 2 yrs ago a spot so small I thought it was a dot from a pen showed up on the side of the top of my finger. Since then it has gotten a tiny bit bigger but it's not round as when I first saw it. It looks like a dark line very small but when I flash a light on it I can see it's a line not round. Should I be worried?
Female | 36
You have a rather small dark streak growing on your finger over the last couple of years. It could be just a harmless mole or a skin tag, but it’s best to watch if it changes color, size or shape. Sometimes strange skin spots can be a sign of skin cancer. For safety’s sake, it’s always good to have it looked at by a dermatologist.

My hair has a lot of dandruff and hair loss
Female | 24
Dandruff is a COMMON scalp condition causing itching and flaking. Hair loss can be caused by GENETICS, stress, or illness. Maintaining good scalp hygiene can help reduce dandruff. Use a medicated shampoo containing SALICYLIC ACID or KETOCONAZOLE to treat dandruff. Consider seeing a dermatologist if symptoms persist. Eat a balanced diet rich in PROTEIN and VITAMINS for healthy hair..

i want to check my face is my face is healthy or fat
Male | 24
You want to figure out whether it is healthy or there is too much fat, then look for signs like puffiness, a double chin, or round cheeks. A situation like this may be caused by eating too many junk foods and not being physically active enough. To fix this, you can eat more fruits and vegetables, drink lots of water, and move with some activities such as walking, or dancing.

Female | 19
Dark skin is beautiful! However, if lightening your complexion interests you, care is essential. Sun exposure, hormonal shifts, or medication may cause natural lightening effects. For gradual, safe lightening, use dermatologist-approved gentle creams.

Male | 16
Acne scarring may be frustrating for people, but a wide range of treatments exists to diminish their visibility. Consulting a dermatologist who will evaluate your skin and suggest the right treatment based on the scarring severity is essential. A dermatologist can guide you in using treatments such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion and lasers to remove the scars.

If the bikini line rash goes away in a day with a steroid cream it probably is not an STD but maybe psoriasis. Please, go to a dermatologist for checkup and appropriate treatment.

Recently I have a insect bite n my face near eye area , and I think that insect release some fluid which is acidic in nature and it caused scare on my face after the wound repaired it seems white and black on surface how to treat this faster please .
Female | 26
You've had some trouble with that insect bite near your eye. The acidity of the insect's fluid might have caused the skin to scar. The skin can be either whitish or blackish. You can use aloe vera or vitamin E cream to treat it without leaving any scars. They are also useful in minimizing the visibility of the scars over time. Don't forget to rinse the area with water often and never itch it.

Female | 32
Itchy hands and feet may be because of eczema, contact dermatitis to detergents, soaps, sanitisers and chemicals, Psoriasis etc. Avoiding triggering factors, excess use of detergents, harsh soaps or sanitisers may reduce the severity and acute flares. Good emollients can help restore the skin barrier. Antibiotics may be needed to prevent infections through the bleeding skin. Mild handwashes and soaps are recommended to prevent worsening of the skin prevent stripping of natural oil from the skin. Oral antihistamines, oral corticosteroids may be recommended for a short duration under supervision in case of severe flares by a dermatologist.
