How long to rule out external cause of anal itching?
Dear Doctor, When anal fungus originates from an external source, how many weeks without anal itching are needed to rule out a specific event as the cause? Merry Christmas
Trichologist
Answered on 24th Dec '24
When it comes to sources outside the body that can cause anal discomfort, these symptoms like itching or irritation usually go away in a few weeks of relieving the irritant. Normally, a period of two weeks to a month without any discomfort would suggest that the previous problem was resolved. Possible causes include skin irritation or hygiene practices. To minimize the symptoms, one has to keep good hygiene, use antifungal creams if it is necessary, and prevent irritations of known causes. If you suffer from them on and on or feel worse, do not hesitate to consult a dermatologist for personalized advice.

I am 18 years old teenager and I want to remove tanning from my whole body and I also want to reduce the melanin secretion in my body ..so please prefer me best kojic acid soap for daily use
Male | 18
Tanning is produced by the skin when it absorbs more sunlight. This is the process that involves melanin, a protein that protects the skin. To decrease tanning and melanin, try a kojic acid soap. This soap can decrease the melanin in your skin and thus brighten your skin's color. For best results, use it daily.

My skin is getting dark , I want to glow my skin and I want to reduce my white hair

Darkening of the skin and white hair are often the first signs of aging. Sun exposure and certain medications may be the causes of the skin color becoming darker. Gray hair may appear if the pigment cells in the hair follicles stop producing color. Sunscreen and drinking water can make your skin agile and healthy. Moreover, eating well can be a good measure. For white hair, stress management and a well-balanced diet are helpful. Visit a dermatologist if you are concerned.

Male | 29
Based on what you’ve described, it could be a yeast infection on your penis. Yeast infections can cause itching, redness, and a rash. The ointment you bought has mometasone and miconazole, which may aid in treating fungal infections such as yeast. Ensure you use this cream exactly as directed by applying a thin layer only to the affected area. If no improvement is seen after applying the medicine according to the instructions or if the condition worsens, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

Currently I am having fungal infection in thighs, can I do exercises for tomorrow for weight loss current weight is 65 kg with age 17
Male | 17
Fungal infections in areas like your thighs cause redness, itchiness, and rashes. These infections thrive in warm, moist environments. It's crucial to avoid exercises until the infection clears up. Sweat can worsen the condition. To treat it effectively, keep the affected area clean and dry. Use an antifungal cream as directed. Wear loose, breathable clothing. Once the infection resolves completely, you can resume exercises for weight loss without concerns.

Located on the ventral side of both arms and thighs, and includes occasional itching especially during hot weather and white patches when dry.
Male | 24
The symptoms you are describing on the undersides of your arms and thighs like occasional itching and white patches when dry could be eczema, a kind of skin condition. This is likely to occur more often in hot weather. Eczema means that the skin becomes very dry and itchy. Using a moisturizer daily and gentle soap may help alleviate these symptoms. However, if they persist or worsen, it would be best for you to see a dermatologist soon.

Having acne near chin and its very painful and I am suffering it from 2 years and I am diagnosed with pcos but my periods are regular and my weight is under control
Female | 29
Acne close to your chin has a sharp pain for two years it can also be one of the symptoms of PCOS when you do not have irregular periods and your weight is fine. Hormone disruptors like PCOS are the cause of acne in the region of the chin. One thing to notice is that treatments with creams like salicylic acid, and laser resurfacing can be another option if you commit more to finding the right products for your skin. Not only antibiotics but also the ability of drugs to fight against PCOS by lifestyle changes leads to a reduction of acne too.

Female | 27
Yeast infections are normally triggered by a kind of fungus. They tend to occur more frequently when the body’s balance has been disturbed. Symptoms may include itching, irritation, and abnormal discharge. To treat it, you can use over-the-counter antifungal creams or suppositories. Wearing cotton underwear is advisable too, as well as staying away from tight clothing. If it keeps coming back, consult with a gynecologist for further guidance.

Male | 26
It sounds like you're experiencing significant hair loss and thinning, especially on the top of your head. This can be due to factors like stress, poor diet, genetics, or certain medical conditions. To address this, try eating a balanced diet, managing stress, and using gentle hair care products. It's also important to visit a dermatologist to check for any underlying health issues that might be causing the hair loss.

I have acne all over my face... It has been 3 years since I have acne... My acnes has pus and blood filled inside.. I am currently using topical benzoyl peroxide... Before i had a course of ezythromycin but I guess it didn’t work... Please prescribe me some medicine
Male | 15
What happens with acne is hair follicles get blocked with oil and dead skin cells. Acne filled with pus or blood means that it is infected. When it comes to treating them, using topical benzoyl peroxide is quite helpful while for severe cases, oral antibiotics such as doxycycline may be necessary. Make sure you continue your treatment regularly and keep your face clean so as not to get more pimples. You can also visit a dermatologist for further treatment.

What we do our face have pimples
Female | 41
When you see pimples on your face, don't worry, it's common and usually nothing serious. This occurs if your skin pores are clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Indications may involve red lumps and whiteheads or blackheads. To avoid these pimples wash the face regularly with a mild soap, not always touching it, and use oil-free products for your skin. You can also visit a dermatologist if necessary.

I have these little rashes on my neck and I need them to go away I need some type of cream or medicine that would help it so my neck wouldn’t have all of these rashes on my neck it’s so annoying
Female | 20
These welts might result from skin irritations, allergies, or even some skin disorders such as eczema. To help them disappear, you could get an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream. This cream will reduce the swelling. Avoid itching or scratching to prevent further irritation. Also, remember to clean the affected area and keep it dry. But if these rashes are still there after doing all these things then go see a dermatologist.

Q) using permerthin cream throught hot water before applying or after 8 hours? Q) Coconut oil with camphor is how much effective? Q) what should I do because of pressure I am confused.
Male | 20
If you have scabies mites that may be in your clothes, you should wash them with hot water. Particularities of using Pyrethrum medicine include dry skin so the cream can make better contact and stay for about 8-14 hours before rinsing off. Camphor-infused coconut oil may help, albeit, it's not the main solution for scabies. Ensure that the prescribed medicines are correctly used along with the usual medicines. As much as possible, always wash clothes in hot water. For more advice, you can consult a dermatologist.

Male | 35
Antibiotics will not necessarily clear up every problem, as sometimes it is not even a bacterial issue. Be sure to watch for other symptoms like pain and changes in the look. Setting a meeting with a dermatologist is good advice and he will check you out thoroughly and suggest the best treatment. It is a must to have professional support for the proper identification and treatment.

25 year old men, i have bumps on my penis, top left part, seems like herpes, im not sure, my groing is itching
Male | 25
Lumps that develop near the penis may be caused by several factors. They may be herpes if they're either tender or similar to blisters. Moreover, among other signs, you might also experience some irritation in the groin. Herpes is an infectious virus that can be transmitted from one individual to another through sexual intercourse. However, to make sure, it is better to visit your healthcare provider and undergo the necessary tests. Proper medication and expert advice are necessary for the prevention and care of it.

Female | 18
It sounds like you have been experiencing a lot of stress recently due to your exams, and this can sometimes lead to hair loss and delayed periods. Dandruff can also contribute to hair loss. It's important to manage your stress levels, eat a balanced diet, and use a gentle anti-dandruff shampoo. If the hair loss continues, it's a good idea to talk to a dermatologist for further advice.
