It sounds like you have been experiencing a lot of stress recently due to your exams, and this can sometimes lead to hair loss and delayed periods. Dandruff can also contribute to hair loss. It's important to manage your stress levels, eat a balanced diet, and use a gentle anti-dandruff shampoo. If the hair loss continues, it's a good idea to talk to a dermatologist for further advice.

I am a 24 year old female. I have been having these recurring pimples on my vagina for 10years now. My vaginal walls are scaly white and are often itchy. I don't have a weird discharge save for when am ovulating, a clear odorless discharge. I have never had sex because of my condition. I am also overweight with a BMI of 26.
Female | 24
You might have a medical condition known as lichen sclerosis. The main signs are the reappearance of small pimples, the vaginal walls that become white and scaly, and the sensation of itchiness. Obesity and sexual abstinence maybe your risk factors. A dermatologist should be consulted first for an accurate diagnosis and the right treatment. They may recommend some creams or medications to help controlling the symptoms and avoid complications.

Hello Doctor, From last couple of days I have developed a small red boil on the shaft of penis, it pains on touch. The appearance is small round red in colour with no pus formation and it pains a lot especially on touch or on friction. Kindly advise medications for the same. Thanks and Regards
Male | 40
You may have developed a condition called folliculitis. It happens when hair follicles get inflamed, usually due to friction or bacteria. The red bump on the penis shaft with pain and tenderness can be typical symptoms. For now, you can try warm compresses to help reduce pain and inflammation. Don't touch or squeeze it. If it doesn't improve or worsen, visit a dermatologist.

I have red dots on my shaft (penis) and I can't figure out what they are, I've looked at pictures (regrettably) and none of them look like what I have. My first thought was pimples/acne, because I haven't had a good shower schedule nor have I had a good diet, but they don't look like pimples, they have black dots in the middle. I don't think it's itchy, at least the 4-5 bumps on the shaft, but I have maybe 2 or 3 on my scrotum that itch though. I thought bugs might be the issue but I've thoroughly checked my room and there are none. In terms of how they look, they're red, no white, 1 has black in the middle (maybe a growing hair?). I don't think it's any STIs since me and my girlfriend haven't had sex/sexual contact in months, it doesnt look like most of the ones i looked up, and this is only appearing now. I just don't know what to do about this and I need help diagnosing since I don't have the money for a doctors appointment.
Male | 18
It seems you're showing some alarming symptoms. The red bumps with black centers may be due to folliculitis (inflamed hair follicles), burn or a mild fungal disorder. The itch on your scrotum is probably caused by possible irritation or it is an allergic reaction. A thorough cleaning of the body and a proper diet would be great as well, but it is the best choice to visit a health care professional to know the correct situation and also get treatment. They have the capability to provide the relevant care and the necessary reassurance. As health should be your priority, always think about getting assistance when you have a problem.

Acne spots on my face How to treat them ?
Female | 17
These spots occur when your skin's pores are blocked by oil and dead skin cells. This may result from hormonal changes, stress, or the use of skincare products that contain oils. For remedy, try cleansing your face twice a day with a mild cleanser, and additionally, using products that contain ingredients like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. Also, avoid squeezing or picking at the spots as it may make the situation worse. You could just go to a dermatologist and receive more opinions.

You could be suffering from a condition called urticaria, which can also be identified as hives. Hives can be characterized as red, inflamed lines on the skin that are itchy and burning. Common triggers include anxiety, some foods, medications, or allergies. Try to determine what your hives may be caused by and stay away from those triggers. Using cool compresses, and antihistamines may be beneficial in reducing itching. If the symptoms continue, visit a dermatologist.

I am on Lamictal 100mg since last November The last 2weeks been having itchy skin no rash could this be the begging of Steven Johnson syndrome
Female | 68
Lamictal may cause itchy skin without any rash. Although rare, Stevens-Johnson syndrome is a concern. Fever, skin pain, and red or purple rash indicate SJS. If worried, talk to your doctor immediately. They'll determine if it's medication-related or not. Don't stop taking Lamictal before consulting your dermatologist.

30 years old and I have been smelling very bad I don't know what is the cost of my body to smell bad and I'm always feeling to sleep all the time what is the cost
Male | 30
The potential to encounter differences in body odor and fatigue every day is a matter that people can relate to. Diversity, including diet, stress, hormonal fluctuations, or even some complex disorders, may be causing such symptoms. You should think of your water intake, the way that you clean up, and your diet, which might be the culprits in case of both bad smell and low energy. Furthermore, physical exercise and proper sleep hygiene will be very helpful. You may consult a dermatologist.

Hi. I am a 6 month old breastfeeding Mom, my skin have become extremely black, very dark undereyes and hyperpigmentation is a lot. Apart from that i am facing milia like insect bitten kind of pimples of my face and hands and thighs which appear and disappear for shorter periods of time. My dermat has suggested me the following skincare products : Revetime facewash, Kozilite H serum and acne uv sunscreen gel spf 30 and along with that following antibiotics Tab cyra d, tab medivast m, tab klocet 10mg. Is this above prescription okay for me to take as i dont want my breastfeeding baby to be harmed in any way
Female | 26
The darkening of the skin, dark under the eyes, and hyperpigmentation you mentioned can happen due to hormonal changes during breastfeeding. The reasons are various; it can be hormonal changes or skin sensitivity that may cause pimples. The skincare products and medications your dermatologist prescribed are the right ones for your condition during breastfeeding. The facewash, serum, and sunscreen can contribute not only to the health of your skin but also to its protection from harmful sun rays.

Every time I shave or use other hair removal techniques, I get strawberry legs. I don't want to consider laser hair removal. Is there any way I can get rid of the strawberry legs?
Female | 19
If you have strawberry legs after hair removal technique or shaving your hair and specially when you don't want to go for laser hair removal then cleaning your hairs/legs with betadine or savlon before shaving and after shaving apply after-shave, betadine or savlon and then applying anti-inflammatory cream containing mild steroids and antibiotic might help to reduce the chances of strawberry legs. If the problem persists then please visit dermatologist.

I have a tiny small small dot like Black head on my nose tip this got remove whenever i squeeze that with my finger how can i remove my all black dot on my nose tip
Male | 23
We do not recommend that you try to manually remove black dots on the rhinion by squeezing or picking them as it can cause scarring, infection, and even further damage to the nose. These black dots are blackheads that result from the formation of black plugs in the pores. A dermatologist is the right person in the healthcare sector to the diagnosis and treatment of this condition.

I am a 25 year old male and I have a skin condition around my testicles. It has been for over 2 years now. It appears to be a like a patch on the skin around my testicles. I recently got married 3 months ago. About a week ago, my crotch started giving out a pungent smell similar to that of chlorine despite washing it several times a day. Also, I observed small rashes on my scrotum and the skin peels when scratching it. Please I need your help.
Male | 25
You might have a skin condition known as tinea cruris, or jock itch. This is a fungal infection that often affects the groin area. Symptoms include red, itchy patches of skin, a bad smell, and peeling skin. It can be caused by sweating, tight clothing, or poor hygiene. To treat it, it is important to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose clothing, and use antifungal creams.

Allergic reactions to antibiotics are a common issue, resulting in itching or welts on the body. It is essential to stop using the antibiotic at once and see a doctor. An allergist or an immunologist is going to be able to diagnose and manage the allergy.

I am a 24 year old girl who has undergone culture test frequently and taken medication but I’m still itchy In my perineum and it looks whitish . I’ve also applied steroid creams. Today I came back from a long trip and my liner was soaked with discharge and some of it looks like chunky cheese
Female | 24
It appears that you could be dealing with a yeast infection. Yeast is a type of germ that can cause itching, white discharge and sometimes looks like chunky cheese. Taking antibiotics or wearing tight clothes can sometimes cause yeast infections. You can try using over-the-counter antifungal creams for a few weeks to see if it helps. In addition, wearing loose cotton clothes and avoiding scented products in that area may also help. If the condition persists, you can visit a dermatologist.

16 year old female. I have heat rash that only occurs on my fingrrs and feet and my skin peels of around those blisters. I have had several doctor attend to me but they could not figure what it is. Some evn suspected to be a fungal infection.it does not affect my entire body like othe r beat rashes do to other people.i have used medicine like Miconozole cream but none changes
Female | 16
This could be the cause of having blisters and corpses on your hands and feet. Miconazole creams usually work when infections are caused by fungi, but if you have tried everything else and Miconazole failed, you can investigate other potential causes such as allergic responses or irritant contact dermatitis. I recommend you to see a specialist in dermatology who will perform the complete examination and offer the most effective treatment that will reduce your symptoms.

I am using skinshine cream for last 4 years. I dont have any side effects till now. But when i came to know the side effects of using this i decided to stop using this. So how i can safely stop this without more sideeffects
Female | 27
I get why you're worried about stopping Skinshine cream after 4 years. Being careful about side effects makes sense. When you quit, your skin might get red, itchy, or dry. That happens because it got used to the cream. To avoid more problems, try using it less over time. First, use it every other day. Then every two days. Keep doing that until you stop. Going slowly like this can let your skin adjust without too much trouble. Also, moisturize lots during this change to keep your skin healthy.

Ringworm ho rkha hai 1 yr se thik nhi ho raha tablet bhi bahut kha chuka hu itracenzole or fluconazole or cream bhi laga liya fark hota pr fir se ho jata h please tell me best treatment for my disease
Male | 25
A stubborn fungal infection seems troublesome. Ringworm triggers red, itchy, scaly skin patches. Defeating it proves difficult sometimes. One way: antifungal meds like Terbinafine or Clotrimazole, used consistently over weeks. Keep affected areas clean and dry. Don't share personal items. With persisting infection, dermatologists can suggest other treatments.

Female | Jagriti
Mesodew Lite Cream SPF 15 is the product that this creamy substance is made to serve as a physical barrier, blocking UV rays from damaging the skin. In some cases, it may result in a reddening of the skin, the appearance of a rash, or the development of acne. If these conditions happen, discontinue applying the cream. Check with your dermatologist before you apply the cream to your whole body Do a patch test first. Washing your hands after applying the cream is also important, and don't let it get into your eyes.
