You have an infected hair follicle in your armpit, causing pain and swelling. This often happens when bacteria enter small cuts from shaving. Applying a warm compress on the area a few times a day can help reduce the swelling. You can also use an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment to clean the area and speed up healing. If the pain and swelling don’t improve or worsen, visit a dermatologist.

My all body itching and scar
Male | 25
You may have a skin disorder such as eczema. Eczema, a condition that causes your skin to itch and scar at the same time, could be one of the reasons. Scratching your skin at night may lead to red, swollen areas. Eczema is often triggered by allergies, stress, or harsh substances like certain soaps. Applying non-irritating, unscented massage oils made of natural ingredients is beneficial for your skin. It is essential to hydrate your skin regularly and avoid harming it while trying to relieve the itching to prevent scarring. If the itching and scarring persist, see a dermatologist for expert advice.

What to do to get rid of pimples on my face
Female | 23
When your skin's tiny holes get blocked by oil and dead cells, red bumps appear. Pimples can bring pain. To get rid of pimples, wash your face twice with a gentle face wash. Don't pick or squeeze them. Use products with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. These can help. Keep hair clean. Don't touch your face often. Eat healthy foods. Drink lots of water. If pimples still won't go, see a dermatologist.

I have really big air blisters on both my big toes
Male | 18
Foot blisters often happen when shoes rub against the skin. Big air blisters on your big toes can be particularly uncomfortable. To help them heal, try cushioned bandages and well-fitting shoes. Don't pop them yourself, that risks infection. Visit a dermatologist if you need to.

I have acne ...tiny bumps on my full face.. since may years...I want to get red from it
Female | 30
Skin conditions that are common to individuals of all ages include acne. It is marked by small bumps on the face and other areas of the body. These bumps are due to blockage of the pores and excessive sebum production. To avoid acne it is necessary to visit a dermatologist who specializes in diseases of the skin. They can prescribe treatments, including creams that you apply directly on the skin or take oral medication as well as other procedures recommended by doctors to make acne go away and not reoccur.

Hello doc, My problem is that I have several dark spots and pimples on my face. I had tried several topical medication it didn't work out and my skin colour got blackened.Can I have a solution for this, In quick period of time.
Male | 20
I advise you to follow a proper skincare routine which includes washing your face twice a day with gentle cleanser and using a moisturizer that suits your skin type. Also, while going out wear a sunscreen with at least SPF of 30. Also, exfoliating 1-2 times a week can help. And avoid touching or squeezing your pimples as this can make your problem worse. For more help and guidance regarding your dark spots, I recommend visiting a dermatologist. I hope this proved helpful.

You have an oily skin and acne problem. This is usually due to the hormonal changes that occur during this age. Depending on the severity, treatment can be decided. Topical anti-acne creams or interval medications along with some cosmetic procedures will be required

I was bitten by a tick a week ago. I got it out s day later when i noticed it but couldn't get its head out. Its starting to itch and looks like a slight rash. Should i be worried or will it go away on it's own?
Female | 35
When ticks bite, it can cause itching, rash, and redness on the skin. If the tick’s head remains in your body, it may result in an infection. To alleviate this, wash the affected area with soap and water then apply an anti-itch cream. Watch out for any signs of infection like increased redness or pain; should you notice any seek medical attention immediately.

I am using salicylic acid cleanser and niacinamide serum. Does using orange peel paste once a week affects skin or will it get along with salicylic acid and niacinamide skin care routine
Female | 22
This is a safe approach if you include orange peel paste in your skin care regime once per week. However, one must be aware that it could irritate or sensitize the skin in some cases. Be sure to do a patch test with the orange peel paste before using it along side salicylic acid cleanser and niacinamide serumand if any adverse reaction occurs, then stop its use.

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.

You may have peripheral neuropathy, a nerve disorder. Your hands and feet feel hot, irritated. Other symptoms: numbness, tingling, burning. Diabetes is a common cause. But vitamin deficiencies or nerve damage could be reasons too. Keep feet cool, wear comfy shoes. Treat any underlying health issues. See a dermatologist for diagnosis and proper treatment.

I am 18 years old . I am having excessive hair loss for past 2 months . I was stressful due to exams in the 2 months and my periods have also been delayed. I am not under any medications . I have dandruff for more than 2 years by now
Female | 18
It sounds like you have been experiencing a lot of stress recently due to your exams, and this can sometimes lead to hair loss and delayed periods. Dandruff can also contribute to hair loss. It's important to manage your stress levels, eat a balanced diet, and use a gentle anti-dandruff shampoo. If the hair loss continues, it's a good idea to talk to a dermatologist for further advice.

Female | 18
Some people have skin peels. This happens for many reasons. The skin can get dry. Or it can get burned by the sun. An infection could make skin peel, too. Some skin conditions also cause peeling. When skin peels, it may itch, turn red, and flake off. To help peeling skin get better, use lotion often. Drink lots of water each day. Stay out of the strong sun. Gently rub off dead skin. If peeling does not stop or gets worse, see a dermatologist.

My toe nail is split in half but not fully ot has been like it for a long time about 1 year but I thought it would grow out and the area has became yellow
Male | 14
Your toenail is split and has become yellow? This could be a fungal infection. Fungi grow in warm, moist areas like your feet. To eliminate the fungus, make sure you keep your feet clean and dry. Alternatively, you can try an anti-fungal cream that you can get over the counter. If it doesn't improve after that, see a dermatologist.

I have recently done Human Simplex virus(HSV) 1+2 igM serum test it come back <0.500 and another Human Simplex Virus (HSV) 1+2 igG serum test it come back 0.87 , sir could you please explain this , am I Infected or not
Male | 25
The IgM test result which is less than 0.500 means there are no recent infections. However, the IgG test result of 0.87 indicates a past infection. You might commonly have symptoms such as blisters, pain, and itching. Nevertheless, treatments are available to cope with the symptoms and outbreaks, so, don't hesitate to contact a dermatologist for more help.

Female | 72
Itching all over the body with rashes, dark patches, and pigmentation could be due to several reasons including allergies, skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis, and hormonal imbalances. I see you have used drugs but sometimes it is necessary for one to get a clear understanding for effective treatment. Therefore, I would advise that she gets referred to an expert such as an allergist or dermatologist who will conduct more tests maybe even skin biopsies or blood works so that they can be able to identify the cause exactly. After which they can then give her specific treatments meant for that condition which will help reduce the signs.

Hi, I'm 21 years old, for the past few years I've been experiencing skin irritations, now i have a lot of dark spots on my body and face, I don't know how to overcome this problem
Male | 21
You might be dealing with pesky skin irritations and annoying dark spots. Itching, redness, or lumps can eventually cause spots to form on your skin. This can happen due to sun exposure, acne breakouts, or certain skin conditions. Don’t worry too much because there are ways to address this issue. Use mild soap when washing, always wear sunscreen, and consult a dermatologist for advice. They might prescribe creams to help fade the marks and improve your skin condition.
