Female | 27
I am 27 years old female and have dry skin type. Lately my skin on the torso, waist and hip has become extremely dry & flaky. Even piling doesn't affect it. I then tried aveeno cream which has reduced flakiness, but it's still very tough to touch and skin on these areas has become stretchy as well as scaly. My grandmother had this skin. It's strange because skin everywhere else is normal, but there it's becoming old and wrinkled. I drink 2-3 litres water daily, although piling doesn't help but I still oil everyday. Pls help. I also take vitamin E capsules, sea cod, vitamin c chewables, and B complex capsules. My skin overall is dry and scalp has dandruff because of this too. There are sometimes small patches of dry skin at random areas like back, forearm and torso, and when I scratch away it goes off like flakes. But this dry, rough and wrinkled skin on my torso, waist and hip is bothering me.

There are a few things you can try to help with your dry, rough and wrinkled skin. First, make sure you are using a moisturizer that is specially formulated for dry skin. Look for ingredients like shea butter, cocoa butter, or almond oil. These will help provide moisture and nourishment to the skin. You may also want to try a richer cream, such as body butter or a balm, to provide extra hydration.
You can also try using a gentle exfoliator to help remove any dead skin cells and promote cell turnover. This will help the skin to look smoother and help with flakiness.
In addition to using moisturizers and exfoliators, you should also make sure you are getting enough vitamins and minerals in your diet. Vitamins A, C, and E are all important for healthy skin, as well as omega-3 fatty acids. Eating a balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables can help you get the nutrients you need for healthy skin.
Finally, make sure you are drinking plenty of water throughout the day. This will help keep your skin hydrated and help prevent dryness.

So i noticed brown spots on my neck up behind my ear by my hair line what can that be
Female | 30
Potentially, the brown spots you have behind your ear and the hairline might be due to a condition known as seborrheic keratosis. These spots are generally harmless and may come as you age. They don't contain any elements of contagion or cancer. If it damages or bothers you a dermatologist can pop them. Keep conducting thorough skin protection against sun rays to stop more spots appearing on your skin.

I have acne issue from last 3 months
Female | 23
Acne is quite common. It causes pimples, red spots, mostly on your face, chest, and back. Hair follicles get clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Hormones, genetics, and stress can make it worse. To improve acne, wash your face twice daily with gentle cleanser. Don't pick or squeeze pimples. Use oil-free products. If acne persists despite efforts, see a dermatologist for advanced treatments.

Hi I got a hot water burn in my penis last night and part of the skin is like peeling and red what should I do?
Male | 18
You have a burn on your penis from hot water, and now the skin is peeling and red. Burns can be painful so it’s important to take care of them. Gently clean the area with cool water and a mild soap. You could also use aloe vera gel or some kind of soothing cream to help it heal. Don’t wear tight clothes that will irritate it more either. If it still hurts or stays red after all this, talk to a dermatologist.

Hello doctor, I am 36 years old male and I have had mycosis fungoides for around 3-4 years. My staging concluded as 1A. I have not received any systemic chemotherapy, I have received only topical treatment with clobetasol and bexarotene creams and now my patches are mostly gone. I haven't had serious new patches in more than a year. I am about to get married and start a family. And my question is, can I have kids while having mycosis fungoides ? Would it increase the chances of my kids to have MF ?
Male | 36
Yes, you can have kids with mycosis fungoides. However, it is advised to discuss your plans with your dermatologist who can help guide you through the process. While there is no known risk of your children developing mycosis fungoides, it is important to monitor your children for any skin changes and to seek medical attention if any concerns arise.

I'm 19 years old and i has phimosis.So can you suggest me some good creams for treating it
Male | 19
Phimosis means the skin on the penis won't pull back. It can make it hard to pee or hurt when you have sex. It may happen if you get a yeast infection or other skin problems. A dermatologist can give you creams like steroids to help. Keeping under the skin clean helps too. But if it doesn't get better, you may need surgery.

Face warts come from a virus that spreads from person to person. It’s very contagious within families. Although warts aren’t serious, they can be annoying. Special creams, freezing, or laser treatment can be used to remove them. However, they may return later. You should talk with a dermatologist about what will work best for you.

A red colored and long mass type thing is coming out from belly button. thick yellow discharge also came out sometimes from belly button. I have no pain, no swelling, no discomfort, nothing
Female | 24
It looks as though you burgeon an umbilical granuloma which is a small piece of tissue that protrudes from your belly button. The yellow discharge may be an indication of the infection. In some instances, it could come on without any pain or swelling. To do this, you have to keep the area clean and dry. It is also possible that you will need antibiotics when the infection gets worse.

You may have itching, and redness in a specific spot on your body. Possible causes: an allergy, bug bite, or irritated skin. Don't scratch! That worsens things. Use a hydrocortisone cream to ease itchiness, and swelling. However, if symptoms continue, see your dermatologist for an exam, and proper treatment.

Just want to know what kind of problem I’m I suffering from
Female | 23
You may be experiencing a viral fever with a skin rash, a condition known as viral exanthem. The leg pain, swelling, and difficulty walking could indicate inflammation in your joints, which is referred to as viral arthritis. These symptoms are often associated with viral infections like dengue or chikungunya. I recommend getting plenty of rest, staying hydrated, and using over-the-counter pain relievers for relief. If your symptoms worsen or persist for an extended period, it's important to consult a dermatologist.

Female | 30
Acne management is a comprehensive approach. That acquires removing of oil using proper facewash, containing salicylic acid, or lactic acid, then avoiding oiling of the scalpels and using tropicals containing cleaner and antibiotics and if hormonal imbalances there, that has to be corrected. So please visit our nearest dermatologist for the same.

I am 21 year old male with itchy foreskin and itchy scrotum, I have used a topical ointment like hooch itch cream but didn’t work I applied other lotions to help smooth but doesn’t seem to go away and I’ve had it for weeks now.
Male | 21
You may have jock itch, a common condition. It makes the groin area itchy and red. This includes the scrotum and foreskin. A fungal infection usually causes jock itch. To help, keep the area clean and dry. Try an antifungal cream for a jock itch. Wash and dry thoroughly before applying cream. Wear loose, breathable cotton underwear. Don't share towels or clothes, as the itch spreads easily. If home treatments don't help, see a dermatologist.

I am a 28 year female, with oily skin, having complaints regarding acne, acne scars, tanning, uneven skin tone and dullness. Can I get treatment options for my concerns as well as the cost so as to proceed further. Thank you!
Female | 28
There are many treatment options available to help address your concerns. You can choose from a basic skincare routine to more involved treatments such as laser treatments, chemical peels, light therapy, micro-needling, and laser treatments for acne scarring. These will work by stimulating new collagen in your skin, which can help reduce the appearance of scars. You can look into chemical peels, laser treatments, and light therapies for hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. These treatments can help to break down pigmented cells and stimulate new cell growth, which in turn can help reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation. For dullness, you can look into facial treatments such as microdermabrasion, which can help to exfoliate your skin and reduce dullness. Cost of these treatments can vary widely, depending on the type of treatment you choose. It is best to consult with a dermatologist to get better treatment options.
