Can't Get Rid of Severe Dandruff at 21?
I am 21 years old and I have severe dandruff and itchy scalp . I used many anti dandruff shampoos but no use.

Answered on 23rd May '24
A common cause of dandruff is yeast which lives on everybody’s skin. Sometimes, if you’re using certain shampoos and they’re not working it’s possibly because your scalp needs something else. Try shampoo with an ingredient such as ketoconazole or salicylic acid in it and be sure to massage this into your head. Doing so should help decrease both the amount of flakes produced by the dandruff and also provide relief from irritation caused by dryness.

Bleeding from the back is unusual and could be a sign of a serious condition, like an injury, infection, or an underlying issue with the blood vessels or skin. It's important to visit a general surgeon or a dermatologist to get this checked as soon as possible. They can diagnose the problem properly and guide you on the right treatment.

"Hey, I just noticed that today my blood vessels are a purple color, and when I try to touch them, it doesn't cause any pain only a little bit of sore otherwise im fine. It started today, and I don't feel any symptoms at all. im not on any medication.
Male | 20
Purple blood vessels on the skin can look unusual, but they're usually not a big deal. Increased pressure might make them more noticeable. If there's no pain or other symptoms, it's probably nothing to worry about. Try elevating your legs and avoiding standing for too long. However, if you're concerned, see a dermatologist for treatment.

I am 21 year old and i think i have balanitis on penis clearley as all the symptoms shows its balanitis only please can you help me with some medication so it can be cured
Male | 21
Balanitis happens when the skin covering the head of the penis becomes red, itchy, and swollen. Sometimes there is a discharge with it. Poor hygiene or a yeast infection usually causes this. To help it go away, clean the area every day and keep it dry. Also, use a mild soap and water. You can try an antifungal cream too. But if that doesn't work, go to a dermatologist for help.

Hi I'm got some infection on my private part on my penis so I want to consult doctor
Male | 32
You might be suffering from a genital infection that has affected your penis. This infection's symptoms could be redness, itchiness, strange discharge, or a hurt while you urinate. Infections can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. The first thing you need to do is wash and dry the genital area. You should not have sex until the infection is gone. You may do better with the homeowner antifungal or antibacterial cream you may buy, but if the symptoms are still there, you better go to a urologist.

Can I use rosemary water for hair
Female | 13
The use of rosemary water for hair is quite beneficial. Rosemary shows the potential for increasing hair growth and stopping hair loss with its properties. It is a common method used to reduce dandruff and improve scalp health. Nevertheless, in case of any skin reaction or allergies, avoid it. Before applying it all over your scalp, it is crucial to try out a small area first.

My son who is 16 years old and now witnessing acnes on the face. We, as parents, little sceptical about taking some high dose of medicine so need your help as want to consult someone who deals with children. Thank you
Male | 16
It is a consequence of the closure of the openings in the skin due to the accumulation of sebum and dead skin cells. This will cause pimples on the face more so during the teenage years. Gently cleansing the face with a non-irritating cleanser twice a day. Do not squeeze or prick. If severe acne is the case, you should consult a dermatologist for appropriate treatments.

I have a pimple on my lower side of penis, it is there from last 2 months, but from last 3 days it started paining and swelling ( white pus ). Is it normal or I need serious medication. Please help me
Male | 20
It's not normal to have a pimple on the penis for 2 months, especially if it's now painful and swollen with white pus. It might be an infection. Keep the area clean and dry. Avoid picking or squeezing it. Using water that has been warmed or a warm compress can help in soothing it. If you have a condition that doesn't get better or gets worse, it's better to see a dermatologist.

I am experiencing some concerning symptoms around the genital area. There is significant redness on the head of the penis and on the skin when it is pulled back. Additionally, a large, raised bump that resembles a pus-filled lesion has appeared on the head of the penis. There is also an unpleasant smell that persists despite washing and maintaining hygiene. The area has small spots and pimples, and the overall appearance is quite inflamed and abnormal. I also feel a burning sensation and itching in the area, which have not improved with regular cleaning. I would appreciate your guidance on this. I am not very sexually active(once a month)
Male | 21
The redness, bumps, and horrible odor are the issues, and the burning and the itching bother you more than they should. Proper hygiene is a defense against the illness; however, self-treatment may not be effective. You should go to a dermatologist to be examined thoroughly and receive accurate tests. They can draw up a diagnostic and treatment plan that suits your condition and deals with the symptoms efficiently.

I have oily skin and acne marks and acne on my forehead And my face , brown spot in my face
Female | 27
You may have a combination of shiny skin, hyperpigmentation, pimples on your forehead, and spots on your cheeks. Overactive oil glands are a magnet for pimples which consecutively leave dark marks. Stress, hormones, and your diet could all contribute to making it severe. Tanning or irritating your skin might be responsible for brown spots. To fix your issue, gently clean it every day using cleansing products; you can get some over-the-counter drugs meant for treating acne then apply them as instructed, and protect it against the sun by wearing sunscreen all the time.

It's been two months I have a pimple like button on my face , any sort of scratches or irritation to it and it bleeds out constantly pouring blood, it itches and it's not vanishing.. I've been wearing a plaster on my face to cover it up but the blood pours through the plaster, it stops bleeding then if I bathe and washes my face it starts back..
Female | 25
It sounds like you may be dealing with a persistent skin issue, which could be an infection or another dermatological condition. The bleeding and itching indicate that it requires professional examination. Avoid any irritation and refrain from scratching the area, as this could worsen it. Please consider consulting a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plan. They can provide effective options to promote healing and alleviate discomfort.

Female | 31
Skin melanin treatment surgery can be harmful in the long run so I suggest not to go for it. You can try other treatments like chemical peels or dermabrasion instead. These treatments can help lighten the skin and are not harmful in the long run. Also using moisturizer and sunscreen can help.

Hello Sir! Around last two years, i am experiencing experiencing excessive sweating on my body as well as face. Few months ago, i checked up for thyroid test that was normal. Further my blood pressure was checked up which was 130/76. How can it be reduced to normal conditions?
Male | 23
Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, on the other hand, can arise from a large number of causes like anxiety, hormonal fluctuations even certain medications. Your thyroid and blood pressure readings are normal so we should move on to other causes like stress or diet. Keep your body cool, use breathable fabrics, and don't forget about relaxation techniques like deep breathing or yoga, and you will reduce sweating. If it gets worse, you should talk to the doctor about it first.

Psoriasis Do you have the treatment for this disease? The child is in a lot of pain, please help us a little.
Male | 26
Psoriasis is a common disease that causes red, painful, and rough patches on the skin. It happens when the immune system goes out of control and skin cells grow too fast. A dermatologist can prescribe therapy to relieve the skin. After treatment, using creams or lotions helps reduce dryness and itching. Keeping the skin clean and well-moisturized can also help reduce discomfort.

Hi, I'm having dark spots on hands and legs which are caused by wounds. Please suggest me any cream to get rid off them
Female | 22
It looks like you have a skin problem called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This happens when your skin makes too much color after a cut or bruise. This causes dark spots. To make the dark spots go away, you can use a cream with ingredients like vitamin C, kojic acid, or licorice extract. It may take some time for the spots to fade away. And make sure to stay out of the sun to stop the spots from getting darker. If the problem persists, visit a dermatologist.

You could have shingles, a condition with red and itchy bumps. The chickenpox virus causes it later in life. It spreads from an area to another area. Despite no fever, you should see a dermatologist. They'll confirm the diagnosis and give treatment.

Using it together on a wringworm can actually make the fungus spread. It is recommended to only use antifungal medication to treat a wringworm, and consult a dermatologist for proper treatment.
