Hair loss among teenagers can be caused by different factors such as stress, bad nutrition, or some medical conditions. Do you detect more hair than usual lying on the pillow or in the shower? Start eating a balanced diet, managing your stress, and being gentle with your hair. If it still happens, visit a dermatologist.

Skin rashes eight leg bottom and chest both sides redesh
Male | 38
The rashes on the bottom of the leg and the chest may be due to allergies, irritants, or infections. Try not to scratch the rashes to make them get worse. Keep the skin clean and moisturized, which may help. If the rashes still don't go away or get bigger, it's better to get a dermatologist to help.

Hi. I've a question regarding my niece's skin problem. She is a 7-years old. She has developed red patches of skin on her cheek, chin and around nose. The affected area of her cheek is very dry. I brought her to a doctor who prescribed two creams, mezoderm(betamethasone) and gentamicin-akos which made things far worse. Then at the pharmacy I was advised to use ftorokart(also a cream with triamcinolone) for my niece's face. After a few uses of the cream, I've seen some noticeable improvement in her skin condition since she started to use it. It took the redness out of her nose. But she still has rash and blisters on her face. I took photos of her face in case it might be helpful for you to identify the reason for her skin condition. Here are the photos of hers: https://ibb.co/q9t8bSL https://ibb.co/Q8rqcr1 https://ibb.co/JppswZw https://ibb.co/Hd9LPkZ Would you mind helping us to identify what caused this skin condition?

According to the symptoms and signs described, it appears to be a case of atopic dermatitis which is common among children of the mentioned age. It is a condition where the skin barrier is disturbed and is extremely sensitive to external environmental triggers like cold and dry weather, dust etc. It presents as red dry itchy patches on cheeks, hands and legs sometimes whole body. The above mentioned creams contain topical corticosteroids which are to be used with a great caution under the supervision of Dermatologist. Good barrier repairing creams including emollients with squalene, ceramides etc can help reviving the skin barrier. Steroid sparing drugs can be prescribed to manage the rash. Please consult a qualified Dermatologist and do not use topical corticosteroids without doctor’s advice as it may cause many adverse effects.

Female | 30
You might have eczema - a skin condition that manifests as dry itchy patches. Eczema can be set off by things like rough soaps, allergies, or stress. In this case, use gentle, non-scented soap, moisturize your skin regularly, and stop scratching the dried patches. If it worsens or doesn't improve, it's a good idea to see a dermatologist.

The brown mark on your big toe is a worry. It could be a mole or a sign of skin illness. You must see a dermatologist soon. Skin illness can be made better if caught early. Do not wait, see a doctor soon to check the mark. Watch out for changes in the mark's size, shape, or color.

Hi doc..i have this sour and white taste toungue for few months.scrap it off the next day it comes back..is it due to smoking and alcohol user..i dont have this problem before..ols help
Male | 52
You have a white sour taste in your mouth that won't go away even after scraping it off. According to my experience, this might be caused by smoking or alcohol which irritates the mouth hence this recurring problem. To solve this problem, reduce smoking and taking alcohol. Ensure that your teeth are always clean and don’t forget to scrape your tongue. If this doesn't work out for you then I would advise you to visit a dentist who will further guide you on what to do.

Age-41yrs. From last 3 years suffering from a black patch all around my lips, specially below the lips on both sides. I had visited a doctor there who detected the problem to be Perical pig / Melasma Pg as written in the prescription. Treated me with the following medicines For the 1st month- Cetaphil gentle cleanser, Flutivate E cream alternate night and Kojic cream once in a day. Next visit I was advised to use Kojiglo cream once daily, Eukroma+Flutivate E cream on the patches twice a week. But I did not find any difference. I had informed the doctor that I cannot afford a very costly treatment, but on her assurance during my third visit I was applied Glycocil pack but yet felt no difference. Then was asked to use Dermadew Caloe lotion every day and Azideenz 10% gel once a day, this gel made my skin rough, when complained she advised me to use only Dermadew lotion day and night daily. My face is 2 to 3 shades darker than my body color. What to do now to get rid of this patch
Female | 41
Without a proper evaluation and diagnosis, I can't say. But normally, suggested treatments for perical pigmentation include topical medications and laser treatments and I do not recommend flutivate cream for pigmentation. However, based on your individual condition, the doctor will recommend the best treatment for you.

Report of bilateral axilla - subcutaneous thickening in bilateral axilla with minimal edema in right axilla Few ill defined hypoechoic areas with no obvious internal echoes / vascularity noted in subcutaneous plane of bilateral axilla largest measuring ~1x0.2 cm on right side and 2.5X0.3 cm on left side - possibility of collections No communication with external skin / deep intra muscular plane What it means
Male | 31
The report reflects some folds of skin thickening under the armpit on both sides. There are also a few small areas filled with fluid, which could be collections. This may be the reason for slight swelling, especially on the right side. However, it is not a serious problem, but it is advisable to monitor it. If you experience any changes or discomfort, please contact a dermatologist.

Thigh fungal infection not cure
Male | 22
Fungal infections are usually fungal diseases that manifest as rashes and irritated skin that can be red and itchy. The main cause is moisture getting stuck on the skin, which in turn creates spores of fungi that are unable to survive. To treat it, keep the area clean and dry and wear loose clothing as well as use antifungal creams as directed by a dermatologist.

Please I have a blade cut marsk last 5 to 6years ago and I want to remove it from my body so please how can I remove it from my body or skin please help me
Male | 24
It sounds like the mark from the blade cut has been a concern for you. Over time, scars can change in appearance; they may become raised, discolored, or itchy due to natural healing processes. To address this, options include topical treatments, laser therapy, or surgical removal, depending on the scar's characteristics. I strongly encourage you to consult with a dermatologist who can assess your situation and recommend the best course of action tailored to your needs. Professional evaluation ensures safe and effective care, helping you achieve the desired results.

I have acne form past 5 years and I have broken my pimples so I have scars and spots on my face my skin is oily plz tell me what to do
Female | 20
You've had this infection for a long time, and it's now your ongoing skin issue. One aspect of your condition is that it's almost inevitable to get a scar or spot here and there when you pop a pimple. Along with other factors contributing to this issue, oily skin can promote acne formation and expansion. Acne is a major skin concern caused by clogged hair follicles with oil and dead skin cells. If you're dedicated to improving your skin, using a gentle cleanser, avoiding picking at pimples, and choosing products with suitable ingredients can make a real difference, even if it's gradual. You should visit a dermatologist for proper treatment.

Male | 36
Bleeding from the back is unusual and could be a sign of a serious condition, like an injury, infection, or an underlying issue with the blood vessels or skin. It's important to visit a general surgeon or a dermatologist to get this checked as soon as possible. They can diagnose the problem properly and guide you on the right treatment.

I have itching in my hand and leg please prescribe some medicine for the same
Male | 62
Itching can be caused by various factors, including allergies, irritations, or skin conditions. It’s important to identify the root cause for effective treatment. Over-the-counter antihistamines may provide temporary relief, but they are not a substitute for professional evaluation. To soothe the affected areas, try applying a cool compress or a fragrance-free moisturizer to reduce irritation. However, if the discomfort persists or worsens, please consider scheduling a visit with a dermatologist. They can offer a precise diagnosis and appropriate treatment options tailored to your specific needs.

Male | 19
You seem to have a long-lasting pimple, known as a cyst. These pimples linger, painful, and deep within the skin. To aid healing, gently cleanse the area. Don't squeeze or pick at it. After two years, the cyst persists. Seeking advice from a dermatologist is recommended if discomfort continues.

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.

Pimple problem and hair fall solution
Female | 23
Pimples develop when oil and dead skin cells obstruct hair follicles. Stress, hormonal changes, and insufficient face washing contribute. To address pimples, wash your face twice daily, refrain from picking them, and use gentle products. For hair loss, consume a balanced diet, manage stress, and use mild shampoos. Consulting a dermatologist may also prove beneficial if concerns persist.
