I have pain in my body where veins are more visible especially in joints like pricking with pin
Female | 17
You may be experiencing the pain and visibility of veins in your joints as if they are being pricked with a needle. This can happen because of the inflammation of the joints or the tissues surrounding them. It may be connected with diseases such as arthritis. The best thing to do is to rest the joint, put ice on it, and take over-the-counter pain relievers. Gentle stretching exercises can also be beneficial. If the pain persists, it's a good idea to schedule a visit with a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

Hi Doctor, I have pain and swelling on my left buttocks. It feels like a pimple, but atleast the size of a golf ball.
Male | 31
You are suffering from a band called pilonidal cysts. These swellings may lead to discomfort and soreness in the rear end. Pilonidal cysts are the results of hair follicles blocking each other. If you are looking for natural remedies, you can use warm compresses and over-the-counter pain relievers to ease the pain. It is recommended to visit a dermatologist for the right diagnosis and treatment.

I am 21 year old female... extreme hair fall is there from last 1 month....what should I have to do
Female | 21
You are dealing with a problem of a lot of hair falling out, which can be one of those things that worry you. Stress, poor nutrition, or hormonal changes are common causes of your age. It's crucial to consume a healthy and balanced diet packed with vitamins and minerals. Try relaxation techniques like breathing exercises, guided imagery, and yoga to manage stress. Gently using hair products and not tying hairstyles tightly can also be beneficial.

What happened if I accidentally swallow 3 pouches of cool lip? What are medthods to prevent this?
Male | 30
Swallowing three of those cool lip pouches could be harmful. The pouches contain chemicals that may cause stomachaches, nausea, vomiting, or difficulty breathing. Make sure such products are always kept away from children and animals. If someone does this, have them drink lots of water to dilute what they gulped down and call Poison Control right away.

I was having balanitis one year back and got treated but later that year me and my girlfriend both got diagnosed with HPV. Now I am is getting cracked foreskin. Due to that it's getting pain whenever gets stretched. Also the skin around the anal area is loosing and looks pinkish without pain.
Male | 28
According to your symptoms, a fungal infection or an irritation might be the reason behind it. The cracked foreskin could result from either the infection or the dryness. The pinkish skin around the anal area might be related. Hygiene is the first thing that must be done to make this area stay clean and dry. Antifungal cream or simple moisturizer may be required. Keep away from strong soaps and wear loose clothes. Drink plenty of liquids and eat a balanced diet to aid the natural healing process.

Male | 15
Hyperhidrosis is a condition when you perspire a lot more than normal. It can occur on your hands, feet, under your armpits, or even all over your body. It could be the result of overactive sweat glands or triggered by anxiety, heat, or spicy food. Besides that, there are several things you can do to manage it such as antiperspirants, medications, Botox injections, or in severe cases, surgery.

I have acne problem. My dermatologist suggested me Acnilite soap but now it's not available. So please suggest me alternative to that
Female | 21
Acne is common, causing pimples and oily skin. Hair follicles get blocked with oil and dead skin cells. You can try soap with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. These ingredients unplug pores and reduce acne. Gently wash your face, avoid harsh scrubbing.

Skin atrophy is the thinning of the skin and it can happen for different reasons like aging, steroid abuse, or some medical conditions. Skin atrophy is the major issue and it is necessary to use gentle lotions and creams to keep your skin moisturized to solve it. Refrain from harsh chemicals and cover your skin from the sun. Eating a balanced meal full of vitamins and minerals can also help your skin. Always bear in mind that the major reason for taking good care of the skin is for the overall well-being of the body.

My mother and brother have chicken pox. It's been 4 days and taking medicine. I have had this disease before. Is there any possibility of more coming as I am taking care of them? My father is on medication after his stroke. So, can he take preventive medicine? Is there any use in consuming it for so many days? Since we are all in one house, there is a common toilet. Cleaned with Dettol after each use. Is there a problem with that?
Female | 45
It's so cool that you worry about your family's health. As you have already had chicken pox, you are in all probabilities immune to it. Your dad who is in the process of stroke recovery should not use any preventive medicines on his own without consulting with the doctor. It is a good thing to wash the toilet with Dettol to reduce the possibility of the germs spreading. Pure, practicing the supreme rudiments and caring for one another will be enough to get by!

Location of tinea: only back( upper back left side) WHITE PATCHES Area: one palm size. It neither increases nor decreases. No other symptoms. Please guide
Male | 23
Tinea versicolor can be treated with antifungal creams. Please apply it to the affected area twice a day for 2 weeks. If you don't see any improvement, please try oral antifungal. Also, keep the area dry and clean and avoid wearing tight clothes as this can make the affected area sweaty. If the problem does not go away still, please consult a doctor for the same.

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a virus that affects a considerable number of young people. Symptoms might include genital warts or no symptoms at all. HPV transmits from one person to another via skin-to-skin contact during such actions.

Could scabies spread through me being fully clothed and sleeping in a bed and then someone else using the bed
Female | 20
Yes scabies can be transmitted even when you are fully dressed and lay down in bed. Scabies occurs due to the movement of very small mites that may transfer from one person to another through direct contact or via the exchange of bedding and clothing. If in doubt, and you’re suspicious, that you have scabies, it is advisable to seek the help of a dermatologist

I'm suffering from scalp folliculitis since 2 years . I have consumed various medication as advised earlier (Tablet doxycycline, tablet metronidazole, tablet clindamycin,tablet isotretinoin).these medications ka affective only till I take the medicine and then the pustules reappear. These are very painful and very itchy .
Female | 21
This is when the hair follicles on your head become infected leading to painful sores with pus which are also itchy. I can see that the drugs that you have used before don’t seem to work well for you in the long run. One should visit a dermatologist who might prescribe stronger medications or other treatments such as medicated shampoos or creams for clearing up these infections and preventing their recurrence.

i am 26 ,my sweat,saliva,tears,vagina discharge smells the same not a normal smell
Female | 26
It seems you might have trimethylaminuria, also known as "fish odor syndrome." This condition happens when your body can't break down trimethylamine, leading to a fishy smell in sweat, saliva, tears, and vaginal discharge. There's no specific medication for this, but you can manage it by avoiding certain foods like fish and eggs. It's best to consult a specialist like a dermatologist or a metabolic disorder expert to get a professional opinion and proper guidance.
