Cystic acne at the age 0f 18 years indicates underlying hormonal cause like PCOS, insulin resistance etc. this can be evaluated by certain blood tests and scans. Please consult an experienced dermatologist for the same. Intra lesional triamcinolone injections, oral retinoids, oral contraceptive pills, etc may be recommended once the cause is established by the Dermatologist. Proper dosing and adequate medication course is needed for satisfactory results in severe acne forms like cystic acne.

The white substance comprises oil and dead skin cells. To address this, maintain cleanliness and dryness of the area, wear loose-fitting garments, and avoid harsh soap products.

Male | 30
If you’re experiencing redness and itching on both sides of your penis, it could be a skin condition like contact dermatitis or a fungal infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. Avoid using scented soaps or lotions. Try using an over-the-counter antifungal cream to see if it helps. If the symptoms persist, it would be best to consult with a dermatologist.

Ingrown nail. Looking for dermatologist
Male | 23
In case of an ingrown nail, it is recommended to visit a dermatologist. They can evaluate the severity of the other ingrown nail, provide its proper care and offer treatment alternatives. In mild cases, soaking the affected area in warm water and lifting gently under the ingrown edge may work. On the contrary, in case of more severe ingrown nail or recurrent one surgical intervention is indicated. Do not try to deal with it yourself to avoid complications or infections. The healthcare professional should be consulted for proper treatment specific to your case.

I am 16 yrs old female and have skin warts on face from the time when I was kid about 5 to 6 yrs old and my father and brother also have warts on face what to do any medicine or any treatment is it curable or not
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.

I have pimples and acne on my face I am 19 years old female I apply a gel on affected areas but it does not work
Female | 19 years
It’s usual to have pimples at your age, mainly due to hormonal interactions, stress, or skin type. If the gel you’re using isn’t effective, you might want to incorporate a gentle cleanser and a non-comedogenic moisturizer into your daily routine. Try not to squeeze your skin, as it can only make the situation worse. A balanced diet and enough fluid also bring about improvements. Still, locating the check of skin under coatings could necessarily need personalized therapy, so I would advise you to contact a dermatologist if it doesn’t get better.

In my back acne and itching
Male | 32
Back acne occurs when hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin cells, leading to bumps on the skin. This condition can be worsened by sweating or wearing tight clothes. The itchiness is often due to irritation caused by the acne. To manage back acne, try using a mild cleanser and avoid wearing tight clothing. Use oil-free lotions and refrain from scratching your skin, this can worsen the condition.

I am a 22 year old with suspected scabies. Have tried permethrin cream, malathion lotion and oral ivermectin. Have been very thorough with the instructions, however am still itchy and now red spots are appearing as opposed to the skin coloured burrows that I previously had. Do i still have scabies or something else?
Female | 22
It does not look like the scabies treatment has worked as it should. So you still have a rash and itching. Scabies can be quite challenging to remove completely at times. New red spots can mean a few things, such as a reaction to the treatment or another skin condition. To check it out, it is better to talk to the dermatologist for a deeper investigation as well as to discuss other possible treatments.

You must have a private consultation with a dermatologist or a piercing specialist today. The outcome of piercing-related problems can be life-threatening because the more time you are leaving the infection untreated, the worse it will become.

Experiencing increased hair loss can be concerning, and several factors may contribute to this, including stress, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, and underlying health issues.

Ian suffering from Padar thamarai fungal infection and how to cure this problem? And I am not able to eat non veg also.
Female | 44
By Padar Fungal infection it looks like you are talking about fungal infection of the foot which might present with the flaky or itchy sole. Generally it is more on one feet or just affecting one feet. If it is affecting both feet then its asymmetrical. The treatment is you have to wear less of shoes so that sweating is less. Open footwear is most preferable. Topical and oral antifungals is the mainstay treatment but if nail is also involved then treatment has to be taken for the long time so that the reserve side of the infection is treated. Consult a dermatologist for proper consultation.
