Do I Have Melanoma? Large Mole Change Concerns

I am 17 years old. I don't know if I have melanoma or not. I have quite a large mole(1-2cm). It have a lot pf brown spots on a light background, the border of which is irregular. I have had it for 5 to 6 years, without any change. Now I cannot remember what it looked like, and I feel like it changed a little. I don't know what to do.

Red flags for moles include changes in size, shape, or color, as well as itching or bleeding. If you notice any of these signs, it's important to see a dermatologist right away.

I am 21 can i eligible for hair transplant?

Male | 21

One of the factors that influence eligibility for a hair transplant includes age. Although there is no strict age limit, the stability of your hair loss pattern should be considered. Typically, hair transplants will be recommended for individuals whose menu of baldness is stabilizing around their late 20’s or older; this gives them a better sense about what the future patterns would look like. Furthermore, overall health, availability of donor hairs and rational expectations surrender to a decision on eligibility.

I am 20years old I just started going through gental wart and I already start using drug and cream but I notice serious burning or painful side effect on my virginal so what onniment or drug can I used to reduce or eliminate the pain

Female | 20

The burning or pain you might be feeling is from the drugs you are using. To relieve the discomfort, you can use a mild soothing cream such as Vaseline or aloe vera gel which will help to ease the irritation and give some relief. Ensure that the region is kept dry and clean to quicken the healing process.

Female | 19

The­ lotion possibly irritated your skin further. Here­'s how to ease the discomfort: Stop using the­ lotion immediately. Gently wash affe­cted areas with mild soap and water. Apply an unsce­nted, gentle moisturize­r to hydrate and soothe irritated skin. Be­ vigilant about avoiding known allergens going forward.

I am 27 years old female and have dry skin type. Lately my skin on the torso, waist and hip has become extremely dry & flaky. Even piling doesn't affect it. I then tried aveeno cream which has reduced flakiness, but it's still very tough to touch and skin on these areas has become stretchy as well as scaly. My grandmother had this skin. It's strange because skin everywhere else is normal, but there it's becoming old and wrinkled. I drink 2-3 litres water daily, although piling doesn't help but I still oil everyday. Pls help. I also take vitamin E capsules, sea cod, vitamin c chewables, and B complex capsules. My skin overall is dry and scalp has dandruff because of this too. There are sometimes small patches of dry skin at random areas like back, forearm and torso, and when I scratch away it goes off like flakes. But this dry, rough and wrinkled skin on my torso, waist and hip is bothering me.

Female | 27

There are a few things you can try to help with your dry, rough and wrinkled skin. First, make sure you are using a moisturizer that is specially formulated for dry skin. Look for ingredients like shea butter, cocoa butter, or almond oil. These will help provide moisture and nourishment to the skin. You may also want to try a richer cream, such as body butter or a balm, to provide extra hydration. 

You can also try using a gentle exfoliator to help remove any dead skin cells and promote cell turnover. This will help the skin to look smoother and help with flakiness. 

In addition to using moisturizers and exfoliators, you should also make sure you are getting enough vitamins and minerals in your diet. Vitamins A, C, and E are all important for healthy skin, as well as omega-3 fatty acids. Eating a balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables can help you get the nutrients you need for healthy skin. 

Finally, make sure you are drinking plenty of water throughout the day. This will help keep your skin hydrated and help prevent dryness.
