You may have a skin condition called folliculitis which can cause itching and tiny red bumps on your skin. This happens when the follicles become inflamed caused by the growth of hairs. Try washing with soft soap, avoiding tight clothes, and keeping your skin hydrated. If it doesn't itching, see a dermatologist for more advice.

Male | 21
Dark skin can happen due to reasons such as air pollution, racial background, or hormonal imbalance. To help your skin, wear sunscreen every day, drink lots of water, and eat fruits and vegetables. You can also cream skin lightening or consult with a dermatologist for other treatments that may lighten your skin.

I have alot of head lice and nits in my hair should i use ivermectin 6mg tablet for it or not
Female | 21
Head lice are little bugs that reside in your hair and give you an itch. The nits are the ovum of their species. Treating head lice is crucial to prevent the occurrence of new infections. Ivermectin tablets are an effective treatment although you should consult your doctor first. Shampoos are some of the over-the-counter treatments that may also be effective. The washing of clothing and bedding is necessary to avoid a second infestation.

You might be dealing with balanitis xerotica obliterans (BXO). This issue can arise after prolonged corticosteroid use. The telltale signs are redness, white patches, and reduced sensations in the glans penis. To properly address BXO, medical intervention is key. Doctors prescribe creams or perform surgery. Don't delay - promptly consult a dermatologist for accurate diagnosis and suitable treatment.

from 1 week i have swelling and blisters on my penis and some sores ,Not much pain, just occasional burning and itching.please tell me what should i do in this situation
Male | 24
You may have a common virus known as genital herpes. They can cause redness, blisters, sores, burning, and itching. The most crucial thing is to abstain from sexual relationships until you talk to a doctor at a hospital or a clinic. As before, they will give the patients antiviral medication to control the symptoms and to stop the onset of the outbreaks in the future. It is important to first visit a dermatologist to verify the illness and be prepared for the treatment.

Male | 32
Acne marks can be treated using treatment options that are recommended by a dermatologist in the context of the condition’s extent. I warn against OTC products, which are rarely tailored to your specific skin type and may, therefore, exacerbate the condition.

The dark circles under your eyes can be annoying. The reasons might be lack of sleep, stress, or even allergies. However, rubbing your eyes a lot can also be the reason. Try sleep management, stress management, and not rubbing your eyes for a while. You can use cold compresses or eye cream as well.

Hello,I have fungal infection plz suggest me tab, Thanks
Male | 27
A majority of fungal infections are common and are the result of the proliferation of certain types of fungi on the skin. Symptoms range from redness and itching to flaking skin. The treatment you'd want to prescribe mainly consists of antifungal medications in the form of tablets and some cases, creams. Always keep the affected area clean and dry. If your condition doesn't get better, it is vital to consult a dermatologist.

I have wart like mole on my pelvic region since 2 years. It does not itch or burn but bleeds if I pick at it from the sides. It is soft. But it is not from HPV because I am not sexually active. Kindly suggest treatment or medicine because I am getting married soon.
Female | 29
A small growth has appeared in your pelvic area. It may be a skin tag or benign mole. These are common and usually harmless. Having been present for 2 years without issue suggests no major concern. But getting checked before marriage still makes sense. A dermatologist can verify that the growth is benign. They could also discuss removal options, if desired.

Male | 30
If you’re experiencing redness and itching on both sides of your penis, it could be a skin condition like contact dermatitis or a fungal infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. Avoid using scented soaps or lotions. Try using an over-the-counter antifungal cream to see if it helps. If the symptoms persist, it would be best to consult with a dermatologist.

Female | 21
The appearance of dark spots is due to a certain part of the skin producing excessive pigmentation. Except to stop vitamin C and products like La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo from helping, one those treatments can be the chemical peels and laser therapy. Remember to protect your skin from the sun to avoid these dark spots getting darker. Visit a dermatologist who can provide you with more personalized advice.

Iam 36 years old I have oily skin with open pores I need some moisturizer for.my skin to.look fresh kindly suggest
Female | 36
You need a non-comedogenic moisturiser which doesn’t cause any breakout or add to the oily state of the skin. Squalene, ceramide containing moisturisers which do not block the pores are recommended for oily skin. Please consult a dermatologist for thorough analysis of your skin to get a customised prescription suitable for your skin. Each one has a unique skin and has to use best suitable products to maintain a healthy skin. Open pores can be reduced by using retinol containing creams at bedtime. If they are severe procedural treatments like laser toning, micro needling radio frequency can help.

Hello! I am 29-year-old female, got stung by a jellyfish on 6th September in my right leg, pain was quite severe, we went to the emergency, I got some painkillers, now I use local and oral antihistamines, but the scars are still there and sometimes there is swelling and itching. No pain anymore. What else should I do? Is local methylprednisolone a good idea? Can I go to the swimming pool and/or run?
Female | 29
Jellyfish stings are common and can leave scars, swelling, and itching even after the pain subsides. Applying antihistamine creams can help with itching and oral antihistamines are recommended for swelling. If symptoms persist, a local methylprednisolone injection may be considered. It's best to avoid swimming and running until the scars heal to prevent further irritation.

Sometimes, you could suffer from itchy skin after a bite. The animal has to do with its saliva. See if there is a change in the area of the bite and wash it regularly to avoid any possible severe infection.
