Why is my lower face darker than upper?

Patient's Query

I am 15 year old female and my lower face is darker than my upper face. It's not pigmentation or pimple patches. It's totally darker than my upper face. It starts from my chubby chicks to jawline

Dermatology

Answered by Dr. Deepak Jakhar

You might have a medical condition named acanthosis nigricans. It can sometimes cause the lower face to be darker than the rest. It's not dangerous but could be a sign of something more serious, like insulin resistance, that is happening inside your body. You can fix this by eating cleaner, being active, and maintaining skin health. Furthermore, consume a lot of water.

I am 25 years old male ,I have black mole on my back side of my leg

Male | 25

A dark mole can be caused by various factors, including genetics or sun exposure. While most moles are harmless, changes in size, shape, or color can be signs to watch for. It's important to monitor any changes, but don't panic. I recommend scheduling a visit with a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation. They can assess the mole and provide peace of mind if needed. Early professional insight is always beneficial for skin changes.

I have suspected genital herpes and had a 5 day course of Aciclovir which finished about 12 days ago. It was improving but I can feel another sore coming. Is this a new outbreak or oart of the same outbreak and do I take another course of Aciclovir?

Female | 30

An old sore and a new one on the genital area may be part of the same outbreak. It is strongly advised that you get a dermatologist’s or a sexually transmitted infections specialist’s opinion for a proper diagnosis. They could evaluate your situation and see if Aciclovir is still a good therapeutic option or not.

Female | 40

It sounds like you're experiencing discomfort from a skin condition, possibly linked to bed bugs. Common signs include itching, redness, and swelling. These pests can irritate the skin, especially for individuals with diabetes, as it may increase vulnerability to infections. To manage this issue, keep your skin clean, use anti-itch creams, and ensure your living space is free from bed bugs through thorough cleaning and possibly pest control services. It’s essential to monitor any changes in your symptoms. Consulting a dermatologist is highly recommended for personalized advice and treatment.

I am 21 years old female student unmarried I have pimples on my labia majora for two weeks

Female | 21

It seems to be a specific example of the ailment you are facing, which might be due to irritation, hormonal changes, or mild infections. Pimples in the pubic area can be borne also because of hygiene measures or clothes rubbing. Keeping the area clean and avoiding harsh soaps is important. Wearing clothing that can breathe and trying to limit the number of irritants you have are also possible alternatives. If you see the bumps and they don't go away, get more painful or you find an unusual discharge, it's better to contact a dermatologist.

My baby 1 year old. She after birth some places are reddish colour . It's allergy. I change soap Cetaphil , but she body was allergy

Female | 1

Your child may have a skin condition called eczema, which affects only a limited number of children. Eczema can sometimes be accompanied by irritation, redness, and itching of the skin. It's quite common in infants. Changing the soap that is used could be a solution, but that is not always the case. Use a mild moisturizer that is not perfumed and avoid harsh soaps from your baby's routine. However, the problem continues, it is wiser to see a dermatologist for guidance.

Hi I am 38 years and I am from Jaipur. I have been facing a gradual hair thinning problem since my early 30's. I have researched about Hair transplant, But I'm a little confused about the after looks. Does it look natural or will people understand that I am wearing something artificial?

No, hair transplant never looks artificial because the hair angle is placed as the natural hairline.

I am 15 years old and I decided to take fish oil capsules how much mg and how much per day I need to take

Male | 15

Fish oil capsules, not to mention the heart and the little tiny engine before the brain, are well capable of helping your heart and brain. An amount of 15-year-olds can expect to take a 250-500mg per day dose. It should also be noted that the intake was indeed too much and caused an upset stomach, therefore, should be disregarded. Be sure to consult with a dermatologist about the new supplement you want to start using.

Male | 17

The sign appears that you perhaps have an allergy to the Caladryl cream. On the other hand, I suggest you should stop the lotion use immediately and go to the dermatologist for a thorough examination and necessary treatment. The doctor who should consult for this disease would be a dermatologist.

hello, I have a light blow on my penis. It does not make any pain or itching. Usually a place is like or when it is seen. Can I use drugs to do it well ,,,

Male | 30

A light impact without pain or itching may not indicate a serious issue, but monitoring the area for any changes is important. Swelling or discoloration can occur after minor trauma. Over-the-counter pain relief can help if discomfort arises, but avoiding irritation is key. Staying clean and observing the area will assist in healing. If you notice any new symptoms or if concerns persist, consulting a dermatologist is wise. They can provide tailored advice and reassurance.

Female | 20

Milia are tiny white bumps under the eyes, looking like cysts. Don't fret! These often disappear without action. Try a gentle exfoliating cream, containing glycolic acid or retinol. Keep skin is clean, and moisturized. For oily complexions, use lightweight, oil-free moisturizers. Avoid squeezing or picking milia.

Female | 22

It sounds like you might be dealing with a combination of skin issues, such as acne, sensitivity, and possibly melasma, along with hair problems. I recommend visiting a dermatologist, who can examine your skin and hair in detail. They will be able to guide you with proper treatments, including products for sensitive skin and hair care routines. It's important to avoid self-treatment and get a personalized plan from a specialist.

These spots are usually caused by melanosis, which changes skin color. Don't worry, as it's generally harmless. However, bacterial infections, moles, or other skin conditions could also be responsible. It's advisable to see a gynecologist to determine the exact condition and recommend the right treatment if needed.

The purple bruise on your penis could have been caused by many things. Sometimes it happens after an injury or from too much pressure.

Female | 16

Face warts come from a virus that spreads from person to person. It’s very contagious within families. Although warts aren’t serious, they can be annoying. Special creams, freezing, or laser treatment can be used to remove them. However, they may return later. You should talk with a dermatologist about what will work best for you.

nodular prurigo from past 1.5 year

Female | 47

Nodular prurigo is a long-lasting skin condition that causes very itchy bumps. These bumps stay for years because scratching or rubbing makes them worse. Creams can help reduce the itching, and it’s important to avoid scratching and keep the skin moisturized. Sometimes, prescription medications are needed, so it's a good idea to see a dermatologist. This condition can cause a lot of discomfort over time, as the urge to scratch makes the bumps worse. A good skincare routine and medical treatment can provide relief.
