It’s something like whitish and cheesy substance in the vulva and blackish dirt like in other remaining hairy region. I scratch it everyday before bathing but it keeps coming back within hours.

Hey there! It might be a yeast infection, or perhaps it is a fungal infection in the vulva and pubic hair area as well. The whitish and cheesy substance in the vulva and blackish dirt in the pubic hair region are common symptoms. Yeast infections can be caused by moisture, poor hygiene, or taking antibiotics. The area should be kept clean and dry, wearing cotton underwear, avoiding harsh soaps, and not scratching it to prevent further irritation from the above. Over-the-counter antifungal creams might work but you can also consult a dermatologist.

Why do I still feel worm "tickles" and itches even after 3 deworm doses in 2 months?
Female | 42
It’s common to still feel worm tickles and itching even after taking three doses of deworming medicine over two months. This could be because some worms might be resistant to the medicine, or you might have been reinfected. A dermatologist can determine the best treatment plan for you.

Please I've been over sweating this past week, I don't know why. I sweat a lot in sunny conditions, but this time it's soo much worse I don't know why. My height is 5 feet 5 and my weight is 90kg. Please what do you think the problem is?
Female | 22
Hyperhidrosis may be warned by profuse sweating, specially in sunny days. But one must rule out any underlying medical condition such as thyroid or inflammatory disease. I advise you to visit a dermatologist for assessment and diagnosis. They can offer treatments and guidance on the condition’s management.

Pimple on anus giving pain
Male | 30
This may occur because of a swollen hair follicle or clogged gland; at times, it could indicate infection. If within some days the condition does not improve along with the bump becoming painful, then visit a dermatologist. Also, ensure to keep the place tidy while putting on loose clothes for comfort.

Male | 21
Experiencing painful cracked corners of mouth, a condition which is also known as angular stomatitis, might be intolerable. This kind of condition might be brought about by a number of reasons such as vitamin deficiency, yeast infection, or drooling. The main symptoms involve the appearances of redness, swelling, and sores at the corners of the mouth. Ways to get it healed include keeping the area dry, applying the lip balm, and eating a balanced diet that has fruits and vegetables high in vitamins.

Female | 29
Your thyroid and skin issues are connected. Thyroid imbalances often cause dry, dull skin tone changes. Thyroid medication balances hormone levels, potentially improving skin quality gradually. Ensure you take your prescribed doses regularly and follow up with a dermatologist routinely. This helps rejuvenate your inner well-being, and outer appearance alike.

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.

About Hair and beard growth
Male | 19
Hair and beard development can differ to a great extent among people due to factors such as genetics, hormonal levels, and nutritional health. The most common concerns may consist of slow growth, patchiness, or thinning. A well-balanced diet rich in vitamins, such as biotin and zinc, may have the potential to boost hair growth. Regular combing may also activate follicles. If your case is serious or you constantly feel discomfort, the best decision is to visit a dermatologist.

Male | 28
Skin reactions are possible after using products. Allergies often lead to reddish bumps appearing. Even when stopping the cream's use, bumps can linger. Keep your skin moisturized and clean during this time. If symptoms persist or worsen, consulting a dermatologist provides valuable guidance.

Hello doctor , a cold sore under nose has left dark mark what to do regarding it
Female | 26
You have a dark mark left after a cold sore under your nose. A herpes simplex virus causes a cold sore. The sore is a part of the healing process, but it can leave behind a dark spot. This is the usual case. To help it fade, you can try using a cream with ingredients like vitamin C or kojic acid. Sunscreen use is always the first and essential skincare routine. With time, it should get better.

I have a abscess on my leg...it red and puffy....and it has developed a red line coming from the area of the abscess and is very painful... what might be the problem and what is the line
Female | 46
This occurs when bacteria are trapped under the skin and create a red, swollen, and tender area. The red streak that you’re seeing may be a sign of the infection spreading further. You should have it looked at because it could require antibiotics or even drainage. Use warm clothes to help ease discomfort and reduce swelling until you see a dermatologist.

Your testicles feel red and burning. That's very uncomfortable. It could be balanitis - swelling of the skin. Poor hygiene, germs, or irritants can cause it.

Male | 29
It’s important to understand that symptoms like irritation, redness, or discharge can be signs of various conditions, such as infections from bacteria or fungi. These issues may arise due to poor hygiene, irritation from products, or sexual activity. To address this, maintain good personal hygiene, avoid irritants, and consider using mild soaps. However, visiting a sexologist is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Male | 33
The symptoms you're experiencing, including increased size, redness, peeling skin, swelling, and discomfort, may indicate an infection or other skin condition. While home remedies can sometimes help, it’s crucial to seek professional evaluation if symptoms worsen. A dermatologist can assess the area, determine the underlying cause, and suggest appropriate treatment, which may include topical ointments or oral medications.

I have a bad case of chaffing and heat rash on my personal areas..I got cream that works at home in the AC.. but when I'm at work in the heat it flares back up... What can I do??
Male | 43
You are likely experiencing a heat rash and chafing in your private areas. This usually happens because perspiration becomes trapped against the skin thereby irritating. Signs may include redness, itching, and sometimes little bumps. To assist with this, tighten any loose-fitting clothes, stay cool, and ensure it’s dry down there. Apply some soothing ointment and be sure to take breaks if possible.

Male | 30
You may be suffering from a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that can lead to the problem of open wounds and eczema on the penis. These signs might be a clue to a syndrome called herpes or genital warts. These infections can be spread from one person to another through sexual contact. Diagnosis and treatment should be done by a sexologist. It is the best decision to put away sexual activity until you visit a doctor.

Pimples can leave scars due to inflammation. Have you heard of laser treatment for acne scars? It's a method that targets affected areas and improves the appearance of scars. You might want to discuss this option with a dermatologist.

The glands in his groin are now painful too. Please advise what type of antibiotic would be suitable for this?
Male | 41
Your boyfriend may have a severe skin infection that’s spreading. The redness, swelling, and pain—coupled with swollen glands in the groin—indicate that it might be a bacterial infection. To cure this, he may require a course of antibiotics such as penicillin or cephalosporin which can help to fight off the infection. It is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible to avoid further complications.

72 years old male with wart like small multiple pimples on thigh and back for the past 1 week Extreme burning sensation and unable to sleep Wants to attach pic but no option available
Male | 72
These pimples signify an infection called shingles, which takes place due to the emergence of intense burning and blisters on the skin. The incidence of shingles results from the reactivation of the chickenpox virus in your body. Step one in calming down the discomfort and sleeping well is to apply a cool, damp cloth to the damaged areas to cool the burning feeling and consume over-the-counter painkillers. You must see a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis and start the proper treatment.
