Patient's Query

Good morning, I have some redish little swelling on my penis cap more like rashes and it itches a lot, it makes me feel uncomfortable i don't feel any pain tho buh it itches a lot. I asked someone and i was told it is candida balanitis so I want to know if that's what it is and what can I use to clear it off. Thank you

Answered by Dr. Anju Methil

The reddish swelling and itching you’re experiencing could indicate an irritation or infection, possibly candida balanitis, which arises from a yeast overgrowth. Common causes include moisture, poor hygiene, or an allergic reaction. To find relief, maintain good hygiene by gently cleansing the area, keeping it dry, and wearing loose-fitting underwear. Over-the-counter antifungal creams may help, but it's important to consult a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment. They can provide the best guidance to ensure your comfort and well-being.

LINEATOR & LYCOMIX Q10 BOTH MEDICINE IS SAME.

Male | 39

Lineator and Lycomix Q10 never will be the same. They are quite different. Lineator is a medicine for treating upset stomach and relieving acid reflux. Lycomix Q10, on the other hand, is a supplement that contains the active ingredient Coenzyme Q10. It is mostly taken for improving heart health and for boosting energy. Don't forget to consult your doctor to determine if new drugs and/or supplements are right for you.

round like shaped rash and itchy butt cheek, what do i do?

Female | 22

Experie­ncing itchiness around your bottom? The culprit could be a fungal infe­ction termed ringworm - prese­nting as a circular, irritating rash. Its emergence­ often stems from exce­ssive perspiration or inadequate­ cleanliness of the are­a. Fortunately, treatment is straightforward: ge­ntly cleanse the affe­cted region and apply an antifungal cream or powde­r. To accelerate he­aling, opt for loose, breathable unde­rgarments, allowing proper ventilation.

I have fungal infection ringworm

Male | 16

Ringworm is a cutaneous infection which a fungus causes. Symptoms such as red, itchy, and scaly spots that look like circles may occur on the skin. The ringworm can be transmitted through contact with infected people, pets, or objects like shared towels. Therapy involves antifungal creams or tablets. You can also prevent the spreading of the infection by keeping the area clean and dry.

Hello Doctor, I am a 30 year old female and I recently noticed open pores on my face, what should I do? My daily routine is: use himalaya neem face wash, then moisturize skin and I happen to have oily & dull skin. Can you pls suggest what should I do? Thank you!

Female | 30

I would like to start by recommending a daily skincare routine for the problems you are facing. Start with Oil control cleansers with AHA's or BHA's to clear the oil and dirt from your face 2-4 times a day. Use a Vit C serum or day serum in the morning if you are at home and you can add sunscreen on top if you are going to go out and will get exposed to sunlight. Evening, after wash use a toner to neutralize and calm your skin. Before bed, use a coat of moisturizer and additional retinol-based anti-aging serum to finish. If it's a major concern, please contact a dermatologist.

a girl who is 7 years old I also have skin and viral infection in leg.

Female | 7

A skin infection likely caused by a virus is probably what you have on your leg. These skin infections may appear in the form of redness, swelling, and sometimes, pain. They can get diffused from a person to a person by contact. A gleaming, gentle antiseptic cloth, however, along with some timely rest brings an enhanced quality of life. In addition, you would want to think about not scratching the area as the infection may diffuse. The point to be noted is if the symptoms are remaining or getting worse, it would be better if you consult a doctor.
