Should I take isotretinoin for forehead acne?
I am 21 years old and having forehead acne only and no acne on other part of face and my doctor suggested me isotretinoin should I take it or they are for severe acne?

Forehead acne is quite common. It can be because of the sebum the skin makes too much as it gets plugged and distresses the follicles. Isotretinoin is mainly used for the treatment of severe acne, so if your doctor has recommended it, it may indicate that your acne has become more severe and chronic. Make sure you are listening to your doctor and feel free to express your worries if you have any.

Acne on cheeks, have many big spots
Male | 29
You have some large, bumpy areas on your face. Those are known as zits or pimples. Zits occur when the tiny holes in our skin, called pores, become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. This can make them look red and swollen or feel tender to the touch. A good way to get rid of acne is to wash your face gently with warm water and soap twice a day; never squeeze the spots because it can cause scars, or use products containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid which help clear up blackheads and whiteheads.

I am 23 year old. sometimes before I was suffering from HSP , now I recovered from disease but some spot are appread on my legs , so please help me out with any cream or ointment for removing the spot?
Female | 23
It may be that the points are healing or that the disease left some changes behind in the skin. One thing that could help you get rid of those spots is to apply a nice hydrating cream or lotion with vitamin E or aloe vera. Note that outbreaks can take a little longer to fade away, yet hydrating your skin can help a bit.

on 08/05/2024,suddenly i felt pain in my left breast.The pain went away after taking a pain killer.

Female | 34
It seems like you are going through mastitis which is an infection in the breast tissue. The pus-like discharge is a sign of infection. Mastitis can result from bacteria entering the breast via a cracked nipple or blocked milk duct. It is important to keep on taking any prescribed antibiotics and not to squeeze the breast because it can make the infection worse. Ensure you feed and pump frequently in order to clear the infection. With proper treatment and rest, mastitis can generally be cured within a week.

Female | 23
You might have a skin disorder dermatitis. Itching and skin patches are some of the symptoms. Allergies, irritants, or sometimes even stress can cause this. To help with the itching and irritation, use a mild moisturizer and avoid harsh soaps or lotions. Go to a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Hello I consume ketanzole lotion by mistake 1 teaspoon what should I do
Male | 47
If this did happen, don’t panic too much, as it can occur. Ketoconazole contains an ingredient that can be harmful when ingested. Symptoms such as stomach ache, nausea, or vomiting are likely to occur. If you notice any of these signs, seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, try not to get too worked up about it. Instead, drink plenty of water to help reduce the concentration of the drug in your system.

I've never had acne in my teenage years but suddenly I'm breaking out very often. What should I do?
Female | 28
It’s not strange for people to get acne as adults, so don’t worry too much if you’re affected. Hormonal changes, stress, diet or certain cosmetic applications may lead to sudden outbursts of the condition. Signs and symptoms of acne are red spots, blackheads and whiteheads. To deal with it, wash your face two times each day using a mild soap; avoid touching it too often and even consider using benzoyl peroxide/salicylic acid-containing products. If this fails consult a dermatologist.

Hii Doctor.. I am a 24 yr old male. I am having pimples around my penile shaft. No itching or pain. When it pops a white discharge is coming out of it. (Same like when we pop pimples of face). Now a days these these small pimples are increasing.
Male | 24
The condition known as Fordyce spots may be what you are going through. The spots are of no concern, small white or yellowish bumps that can develop on the penis. They are often not itchy or painful and may sometimes release a white discharge when popped. Fordyce spots are normal and usually, no treatment is needed. But if you are worried, it is best to consult a dermatologist for more check-ups.

Bruises under the tongue
Male | 60
Sometimes, accidentally biting the toungue or eating hard foods causes bruising. These bruises usually heal within one or two weeks by themselves. To ease any pain or discomfort, try soft foods and avoid spicy or acidic ones until healing occurs. If it persists, visiting a doctor may provide help.

I have a red whelp on my neck.
Female | 59
A red whelp appears on your neck. Potentially a harmless skin irritation could be from rubbing against something rough. Or, perhaps caused by reacting to a specific product. Sometimes bites from insects or allergies form whelps too. First, try using a cool compress and mild hydrocortisone cream. Avoid scratching, as that may worsen it. However, if symptoms persist beyond a few days, see a dermatologist.

can in take pistonor 2 while taking centrizine
Female | 26
Taking Pistonor 2 alongside Centrizine raises the odds of feeling sleepy and dizzy. These meds make you drowsy. Driving or handling machinery becomes risky. Always consult your doctor before mixing drugs. You'll avoid unsafe outcomes. !

Female | 27
Some common causes of ear discoloration can be excessive sunlight, hormone modifications, or genetic conditions. It would be wise to have an appointment with the dermatologist so that a careful evaluation and diagnosis can be done. Sunlight exposure and sunscreen should be good enough to give suitable treatment options like topical creams or laser therapy to lighten the pigmentation.

I am a 28 year female, with oily skin, having complaints regarding acne, acne scars, tanning, uneven skin tone and dullness. Can I get treatment options for my concerns as well as the cost so as to proceed further. Thank you!
Female | 28
There are many treatment options available to help address your concerns. You can choose from a basic skincare routine to more involved treatments such as laser treatments, chemical peels, light therapy, micro-needling, and laser treatments for acne scarring. These will work by stimulating new collagen in your skin, which can help reduce the appearance of scars. You can look into chemical peels, laser treatments, and light therapies for hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. These treatments can help to break down pigmented cells and stimulate new cell growth, which in turn can help reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation. For dullness, you can look into facial treatments such as microdermabrasion, which can help to exfoliate your skin and reduce dullness. Cost of these treatments can vary widely, depending on the type of treatment you choose. It is best to consult with a dermatologist to get better treatment options.

I have hair loss and hair thinning my father have bladness
Male | 23
Hair thinning and loss often happen due to various reasons. Our genetics play a role; baldness in fathers increases changes in children. Additionally, stress, poor nutrition, and illnesses contribute to hair problems. Maintaining good diet, managing stress, and gentle handling of hair help address this issue. Using special shampoo, treatments may also promote healthy hair. Visit a dermatologist if the problem continues.
