At your age, losing hair or having thinning hair could occur because of stress, poor nutrition, hormonal changes, or using strong hair products. For instance, a dry scalp or a fungus can cause dandruff. To reduce stress levels, eat a well-balanced diet, use mild hair care products, and try anti-dandruff shampoos. Visit a dermatologist for more personalized recommendations.

Hello doc, My problem is that I have several dark spots and pimples on my face. I had tried several topical medication it didn't work out and my skin colour got blackened.Can I have a solution for this, In quick period of time.

I advise you to follow a proper skincare routine which includes washing your face twice a day with gentle cleanser and using a moisturizer that suits your skin type. Also, while going out wear a sunscreen with at least SPF of 30. Also, exfoliating 1-2 times a week can help. And avoid touching or squeezing your pimples as this can make your problem worse. For more help and guidance regarding your dark spots, I recommend visiting a dermatologist. I hope this proved helpful.

My mother had a small lump on her hand so can she take moxiforce cv 625 this medicine
Female | 58
Any lump or soft tissue can be due to many reasons like injury, inflammation, or even tumors. Moxiforce CV 625 is a medicine prescribed to treat infections, but without determining the exact cause of the lump, it is not advisable to use it. It is more preferable to have a doctor to check the lump and decide which is the best treatment.

My left leg is wounded by itching and have swelling.
Male | 56
This appears to be an allergic reaction or bug bite on your lower left limb making it itch and swell. When the body’s immune system responds to something it is sensitive to, these are the kinds of responses that occur. To relieve the itching and swelling, try applying a cold pack and taking an antihistamine. If this doesn’t help, you should see a dermatologist for further diagnosis and treatment.

Ring worm infection all over the body.
Male | 15
Ringworm isn't from worms, it's a funky fungus skin infection. Scattered red, scaly, itchy patches appear on your body. See a dermatologist for antifungal cream or pill treatment. Keep skin clean, and dry to prevent spreading. Don't share personal items - that's how it travels.

Hello docto I'm noticing some uneven skin tone on my face and hands. They also appear darker than the rest of my body. Can you help me understand what might be causing this?" And also some pimples on my face can you give a solution??
Male | 16
Darker areas on your skin may be hyperpigmentation. This common issue happens when the skin makes too much pigment. Sun exposure, hormones, or irritation can cause it. As for pimples, they come from clogged pores and extra oil. To help, use a gentle face wash, sunscreen, and products with ingredients like retinol or niacinamide. These can even out skin tone and unclog pores. You can also visit a dermatologist for a proper treatment.

I have black neck from a very long time I really want a cure for it
Male | 16
Acanthosis Nigricans is what you are suffering from, a skin condition that causes your neck to darken compared to the rest of your body. This may occur if you are obese or have diabetes. It is important to work on reducing your weight and controlling your blood sugar levels. A balanced diet, regular exercise, and maintaining the cleanliness of your skin can gradually improve this problem.

My boyfriend has an infected wound in his calf which started of as a small itchy spot that later became a red spot and later an infected wound that's made his the surrounding area swollen right down to his ankles. The glands in his groin are now painful too. Please advise what type of antibiotic would be suitable for this?
Male | 41
Your boyfriend may have a severe skin infection that’s spreading. The redness, swelling, and pain—coupled with swollen glands in the groin—indicate that it might be a bacterial infection. To cure this, he may require a course of antibiotics such as penicillin or cephalosporin which can help to fight off the infection. It is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible to avoid further complications.

Acne and pimple. Black spot
Male | 30
Acne and pimples are skin problems many people deal with. Sometimes, after acne clears up, dark spots remain. These spots are called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. They happen when your skin produces too much melanin due to inflammation. To help reduce these spots, keep your skin clean and avoid picking or squeezing pimples. Using products with retinoids, vitamin C, or hydroquinone may gradually lighten the spots. Wear sunscreen to prevent the spots from darkening further.

I am 28 yo female and recently got sclerotherapy done on both legs (last Wednesday so it has been over a week). My veins have gotten worse, they are purple and more visible and quite sensitive to the touch. There is no bruising. My dermatologist said I may have had an allergic reaction to the treatment and suggested I get antihistamines. Will the veins subside?
Female | 28
Veins do appear more visible naturally after sclerotherapy treatment, but they usually improve over time as the body reabsorbs the treated veins. Its best to discuss your concerns with your dermatologist and follow the recommended treatment. Avoid prolonged sitting or standing and to wear compression stockings as recommended to decrease swelling and heal faster.

I am 25years old. I'm getting itching on my legs from last 3days using Coconut oil, Vaseline moisturizer it gives relief after sometime. it is because of ingrown hair. I won't shave my legs not having much hair but getting itching. I searched in Google it seems like strawberry skin. Please help me to come out of this problem.
Female | 25
You may have a skin condition called folliculitis which can cause itching and tiny red bumps on your skin. This happens when the follicles become inflamed caused by the growth of hairs. Try washing with soft soap, avoiding tight clothes, and keeping your skin hydrated. If it doesn't itching, see a dermatologist for more advice.

I recently had a syphilis infection. My RPR titer went down from 64 to 8. Will it get to non - reactive
Male | 29
Syphilis, a treatable infection, responds to antibiotic treatment. Your declining RPR titer indicates progress. A titer of 8 signifies improvement, though complete clearance may take time. Persevere with prescribed treatment. Consult your dermatologist regularly for monitoring and guidance. Syphilis symptoms include sores, rashes, fever, and fatigue. Completing treatment prevents complications and stops the infection's spread.

There’s like a red line appeared in my back since last 2 weeks it feels like 2D
Female | 17
This red line is most probably a rash that arises from some irritation of your skin due to something. The most frequent reasons are allergies, insect bites, and skin irritation due to clothing. To help, try using a mild soap and not scratching that area. If it doesn't get better, visit a dermatologist.

Male | 22
As the lump on your neck is a crucial concern, a doctor should be consulted for its evaluation. This abnormality may be the symptom of a wide range of causes from a common infection to a benign growth. I advise you to make an appointment with a dermatologist or an ENT specialist for in-depth analysis and appropriate management.

Female | 33
PCOD can trigger the hormonal imbalance which in turn causes hair loss. Some signs are irregular menstruation and acne. To promote new hair growth, you can try consuming a balanced diet full of fruits and vegetables, controlling stress, and keeping a normal weight. You may talk to your doctor about possible therapies for hair growth as well.
