You may be suffering from alopecia areata. This is a condition where the immune system attacks the hair follicles leading to hair loss. It is usually sudden and appears as a bald patch on the scalp. While sometimes hair might grow back on its own, it can also be intermittent. For advice on possible treatments like steroid injections or creams, it would be best seen by a dermatologist.

My finger got black swallowed skin.it won't pain won't itch.but If I remove it it comes again on same place.what is solution?
Male | 40
You have a condition called a subungual hematoma. Small blood vessels under the nail break. This causes the skin to turn black. Trauma, even minor, often causes this. It is usually harmless and resolves by itself. But if it bothers you, a dermatologist can drain the blood. Don't pick at it to avoid infections. Keep the area clean.

Hello sir /ma'am From the past 3 months i was using elosone ht skin cream over my knee areas, because of the sun exposure my knee became very dark and they were looking very odd. That's why i was using it in my knee areas only, also it was having visible results. 4 5 days back i saw my knees and suddenly i was in shock. My knees are looking very scary. The area where i use to apply the cream the whole area is covered with a dark patch which is 2x darker than before i had. Please help me it is looking very scary and i can't even wear shorts due to this.

The cream you were using might have led to the development of a skin condition known as skin atrophy which causes the skin to become thin and darker. This can occur if certain steroid creams are applied for an extended duration on sensitive areas like the knees. It's vital to discontinue the cream instantly and see a dermatologist for a thorough examination and advice on how to improve the skin condition.

Male | 19
According to the information you have given, your left side's visible bulging under the throat could be due to some pathological reasons. This can be demonstrated through infections, allergy symptoms, thyroid disorders, etc. Stay hydrated, get proper rest, and try the warm compress on it, if you can, for a while. If the swelling remains or you start experiencing breathing difficulties or freezing, you must not hesitate to contact a dermatologist.

Hi, I had sclerotherapy done on Wednesday last week. My veins look a lot worse, they as re purple and more visible, there is no brusing and they are also quite sore to the touch/I can feel tiredness in my legs. My doctor said I may have had an allergic reaction to the therapy because I am on holiday in a hot country (Brazil) and prescribed me an antihistamine. Will the veins eventually fade or will I need more treatment?
Female | 28
Bruising and discomfort after sclerotherapy are natural which normally resolves within a few days. But since you said your veins look worse and are more visible after the procedure could indicate a complication. It's good that you have already spoken with your doctor, but still experiencing discomfort or have any concerns, follow up with them promptly.
In some cases the veins may fade on their own over time, but if the issue is related to the sclerotherapy procedure, additional treatment can be needed. Its best to follow up with your doctor to discuss your options and determine the best treatment.

I am 17, since Wednesday I have felt very tired everyday even though I’ve slept well, I’ve had this constant headache near my nose eyes and head which won’t leave. I’ve had a sore throat but it doesn’t hurt to swallow, I looked in the mirror today and it’s red, my tongue has spots at the back and abit of my mouth is swollen I think. I’ve taken paracetamol and it hasn’t helped and I don’t know what to do
Female | 17
You probably have a sinus infection. As a result, you might experience fatigue, headache, sore throat, and swollen mouth. The spots on your tongue may suggest an infection too. To feel better, drink water, rest, and see a dermatologist for further advice.

I have a fungal infection on my laps and my private part how can it be cured?
Female | 19
A fungal infection seems present between your legs and private parts. Warm, moist environments allow fungal infections to occur. Itching, redness, and rashes are common symptoms. Antifungal cream from your pharmacist can treat it. Keeping the area clean and dry is crucial. Avoid tight clothing too. Consult a dermatologist if it persists.

But my problem is not solved... It's been cleared in some area and grown in other with same moderate symptoms and also eye pain and headache What to do sir / madam please help
Male | 27
Pimples on your forehead and scalp may signify acne. Medicines don't cure it; special treatment is required. Benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid can potentially help. However, Cosvate GM plus cream should be avoided. It might worsen symptoms like pain, itch, and redness. Eye pain, headaches too seems connected to this problem. So, discussing all symptoms with a dermatologist is vital. Get proper evaluation and advice for comprehensive acne management.

Hello I am Jawed, I am 32 years old, height is 170cm and weight is 60 KG. I had acne on my face 10 to 11 years ago, at that time I visited a doctor and they prescribed Betamethasone Injection and it was injecting in every acne on my face separately, the effects was so fast because the acne disappeared after two to three hours after injection. This treatment co tinues 2 months, one every week with that doctor, as the effects were temporary for individual acnes on face and as well the effect was fast, after that I became addicted to it and I was injecting this particular injection to my face myself and it goes for maybe more then 6 months and then I stopped it, about 2 to 3 months later after stopping it some side effects apeared to my skin, my skin (different areas such as face-lips, eyes, hands-shoulders, legs-tighs, neck, under arms, even the private parts) become puffy, itchy, red when I wake up from sleep, and ut continues for 3 to 4 hours and then disappears, this problem is from more then 9 years sometimes it disappears for months and sometimes it comes back, whenever I take anti-allergic tablets such as cetrizine it is all ok and when I stop taking it, it appears again, simetimes the effects are so strong mean specially when it take my eysles the puffy eyes are so heavy and it become normal after 24 to 36 hours. I didn't notice any particular thing that I am allergic to that in these 9 years. I will be very greatful if your advice helps me from this bad situation. King Regards

Dealing with skin issues can be tough. The puffy, itchy, red skin you mentioned might be contact dermatitis. This happens when your skin is irritated by something it touches. For you, it seems the long-term Betamethasone Injection use could have triggered it. To manage it, avoid triggers - certain products or fabrics that bother your skin. Moisturize daily and use a gentle face wash. If needed, over-the-counter antihistamines may ease symptoms. Visit a dermatologist if the problems persist.

Your son may have accidentally hit you in the face since there is a bruise and some swelling under your eyes. Normally such injuries heal over time so don’t worry too much. If it’s really bad then apply something cold to help with the inflammation as well as taking some over the counter painkillers if needed. If things do not improve within 48 hours please seek medical advice immediately.

I have a cyst on armpit its inside and shows some movebility its been for 2 years and i have no pain or anything even i cant feel it there but now i have 2 more same cyst on my arm pit what is it doctor
Male | 19
According to the information you provided, you may have cysts in your armpit part. A cyst is like a small pocket filled with water and can be quite common. Cysts can happen when skin cells are blocked and then form a pile under the skin. They can also be seen in groups. You don't have any pain or problems which makes it unlikely that it is something serious. But, it is always a good idea to let a dermatologist look at them.

Male | 24
You may have a condition called acanthosis nigricans. Acanthosis nigricans is a condition that can cause some parts of your skin to become darker, like in the area of your stomach and back. This can occur due to aspects such as obesity, diabetes, or hormone problems. You should do your best to manage your weight, eat a varied diet, and be active to remedy this. Do visit a dermatologist to get the most beneficial plan for you!

My daughter is facing a lot of hairfall for a long time
Female | 14
The primary indicator is a loss of hair at a rate higher than normal. This can be attributed to factors such as stress, unhealthy eating, or hormonal changes. Urge her to eat a balanced diet, avoid stress, and apply only mild hair products. If the situation remains unchanged, get a consultation from a dermatologist.

I am a 24 year old girl who has undergone culture test frequently and taken medication but I’m still itchy In my perineum and it looks whitish . I’ve also applied steroid creams. Today I came back from a long trip and my liner was soaked with discharge and some of it looks like chunky cheese
Female | 24
It appears that you could be dealing with a yeast infection. Yeast is a type of germ that can cause itching, white discharge and sometimes looks like chunky cheese. Taking antibiotics or wearing tight clothes can sometimes cause yeast infections. You can try using over-the-counter antifungal creams for a few weeks to see if it helps. In addition, wearing loose cotton clothes and avoiding scented products in that area may also help. If the condition persists, you can visit a dermatologist.
