Tinea versicolor can be treated with antifungal creams. Please apply it to the affected area twice a day for 2 weeks. If you don't see any improvement, please try oral antifungal. Also, keep the area dry and clean and avoid wearing tight clothes as this can make the affected area sweaty. If the problem does not go away still, please consult a doctor for the same.

I have used demelan cream for face to reduce dark spots. Now my skin is became red and like burning sensation.
Male | 23
You might have an allergic reaction to the demelan cream. Irritation of some type of ingredient may cause redness and a burning sensation in the cream. It's best to stop using the cream immediately and wash your face with gentle soap and water. Soothing the skin with a calming moisturizer is recommended. However, if the symptoms persist, you should consult a dermatologist.

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 have a lot of hair fall And sometimes pimples also form on the face. Earlier, a lot of pimples used to form on my face, then later they completely disappeared, but they have started forming again due to the heat, but I have a lot of hair fall. But I get periods every week and they are good ones You tell me why I have hair fall ????And sometimes my legs hurt too
Female | 22
Hair loss can occur from various reasons such as emotional stress, inadequately healthy diet, and hormone imbalances, which are also factors that create skin rashes. On the other hand, frequent cycles may also cause hair shedding. Leg pain could be attributed to overuse of muscles or muscle strain. Eat healthily, manage stress, and drink plenty of fluids. Talk to a dermatologist for tailored treatments.

Female | 18
You might be afflicted with a skin condition known as hives. Hives are red, raised bumps on the skin that can be itchy and disturbing. They are often the result of a long list of contributors, among them are allergies, stress, and infections. One way to relieve the itching and irritation is by taking antihistamines that are available over the counter and applying soothing lotions. If the problem still exists, you should see a dermatologist for further advice and treatment.

I fell asleep outside and got a painful sunburn on my leg. I went to softball practice and got hit in the leg with a softball. Am I allowed to ice it because I thought you couldn't ice a sunburn but it hurts to put pressure on it.
Female | 15
Sunburns are very painful, and getting hit by a softball on top of that is even worse. Applying ice won't harm the sunburn and can help reduce pain and swelling. Wrap the ice in a towel to protect your skin. If the pain is severe or doesn't improve, see a dermatologist for proper treatment.

If your symptoms are severe or worsen, visit a dermatologist.

Hi i have xanthelasma marks on upper eye lid, is it possible to get rid off and max how many sitting are required
Female | 27
Xanthelasma - those small yellow spots appearing on eyelids. Not dangerous, just annoying. Blame it on high cholesterol levels. To get rid of them, a dermatologist can remove xanthelasma using lasers or freezing treatments. The number of sessions depends on how bad those pesky marks are. But before anything, talk to a dermatologist about the best way to treat your xanthelasma.

Female | 32
If you have a bump on your earlobe after getting a piercing, it might not hurt but can appear pink with a dark or black spot in the middle. These are often called piercing bumps and are usually caused by irritation or infection. Try cleaning it gently with saline solution and avoid touching or changing the piercing too much. If it doesn't improve or starts to hurt, please make an appointment to see a dermatologist soon for further assistance.

Male | 22
You might be fighting dermatitis, one of the most common skin problems. Red spots and itching around the thighs are the main symptoms. This, however, may be attributed to the use of certain soaps, sweating, or even irritation from clothing. To soften your skin, you may want to wear loose cotton clothes, use gentle soaps, and apply a non-irritating moisturizer. If the issue doesn't go away, visit a dermatologist for recommendations.

Female | 25
The symptoms you are describing may be caused by genital warts which are due to HPV (human papillomavirus). A doctor can get rid of these warts by prescribing medications or doing minor procedures. Safer ways would be not to touch them and instead stick to safe sex with condoms. It's crucial to visit a dermatologist for the right diagnosis and therapy.

Male | 18
When your eyes look sunken, it can be caused by dehydration, lack of sleep, or poor nutrition. Have a drinking water boost, sleep well, and consume healthy foods like fruits and vegetables. Don't eat salty foods that will make your body save water. If the problem persists, it's good to go to a dermatologist for more advice.

my hair fall day by day increase why any thing wrong?
Male | 30
Hair fall is a common issue but it becomes a point of concern every day with the amount of hair shed as a result of stress, poor diet, or health problems. A balanced diet, stress management, and the treatment of underlying health issues are the best ways to take care of your health. The use of mild hair care products and avoiding high heat can also be beneficial.

Face wash for whitening for men glow removes blushing
Male | 21
You should understand that skin color is natural and special for each person. Men, like everyone else, must use a gentle face wash for daily cleaning without harsh chemicals. Products for whitening can be bad and may not remove blushing well. Blushing often happens because of emotions or surroundings. Instead of looking for whitening products, focus on caring for your skin with a good diet, drinking enough water, and protecting it from the sun.
