Could white patches on my hips be concerning?
I am a 17 year old girl, recently I noticed some white small point sized or slightly bigger patches on my hips. I don't know what to do, but I'm afraid this might be some big disease.

It might be a common skin condition called pityriasis alba. This isn't something to worry about. Pityriasis alba can lead to pale patches on the skin, mainly on the face, neck, and arms. You can see them better in summer when your skin is darker. Dryness is what makes the skin turn lighter than it’s supposed to be, the reason for this happening is mostly because of dryness. You might also want to consider moisturizing your skin more often with lotion, or drinking plenty of water helps too. If there is no change after doing all these things then go to a dermatologist who will advise on treatment methods for this condition.

A medicine to whiten the skin
Male | 21
Lightening your skin shouldn't involve medications, as they can harm melanin, which gives skin its color. Chemicals can cause uneven pigmentation. Instead, embrace your natural tone and use sunscreen to keep your skin healthy and radiant.

Hello Doctor, myself purushothaman 39/M, I have been consulted many doctors for my issue. At initial state I will continuously sneeze in the morning, one doctor suggest to use Montek-LC, after that sneezing got stopped but I have continue to table till my last breathe. After some time using the tablet it started itching issue. For that I have consulted many skin doctors whenever I use the medicine it will reduce and after that it will slowly itching will raise which I could not resist. After that I went to ENT doctor for whether I have any issue in ENT. For that I have undergone surgery also since my my nose bone sharp inside and polyps are also there. After that also skin itching still exists. After that I stopped not to go any doctor. Since my issue was not resolved by anybody. Somehow I tried to figure it out myself what is exactly happening to me through my articles in online. To be Frank I won't smoke and drink, but I have keep on mucus segregation. Then one day I realised may be I might face any respiratory problem. So that I need you to look into above issue and provide your valuable feedback
Male | 39
Sneezing, itching, and discharging from the nose might be the result of allergic reactions or chronic sinus problems. The inflammation of your nose and sinuses may have led to the symptoms of sneezing, itching, and mucus manufacture. I can suggest that you consult a dermatologist for the appropriate testing, so as to determine the allergens and accordingly, the treatment can be developed to include allergy medications, nasal sprays, immunotherapy, and so on.

I am a 20 year old female that had a cold sore on my lip a few months ago. The actual scab is gone, but there is still a sharp pain in that spot when I touched it. Is it still contagious and how can I stop it? I’ve been putting Abreva and Carmex on the spot that hurts but nothing seems to help. Thank you
Female | 20
The nerve near your previous sore could be causing your current pain. Cold sores are contagious until fully healed, but once the scab is gone, the risk is usually over. You can apply a cold compress or take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Avoid touching or picking at the sore to prevent irritation. If the pain persists or worsens, it's best to consult a dermatologist.

last month maine titness injection liya. ab fir se cut lag gaya ..kya mujhe fir titness injection lena chahie ..
Male | 36
Cuts can happen due to accidental injury or poor skills in injection administration. Just cleanse it with soap and water and then put an antiseptic cream on the minor cuts (non-deep cuts and the skin's surface). If it's deep or you notice infection symptoms such as redness, swelling, or pus, the best thing is to visit a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and treatment.

I have skin related issues.At the starting stage I have itching afterwards I will scratch the skin and formed small bumbs filled with water.And I have the same problem in my toes, finger ,and thighs.And my skin looks like pale red
Male | 21
Eczema seems like your skin issue. It itches and has bumps full of fluid on red areas. Eczema often targets toes, fingers, and thighs. Causes include allergies, dryness, and genes. Using mild soap, moisturizing daily, and avoiding harsh chemicals may help manage eczema's symptoms.

I am a 36 year old female and about 2 yrs ago a spot so small I thought it was a dot from a pen showed up on the side of the top of my finger. Since then it has gotten a tiny bit bigger but it's not round as when I first saw it. It looks like a dark line very small but when I flash a light on it I can see it's a line not round. Should I be worried?
Female | 36
You have a rather small dark streak growing on your finger over the last couple of years. It could be just a harmless mole or a skin tag, but it’s best to watch if it changes color, size or shape. Sometimes strange skin spots can be a sign of skin cancer. For safety’s sake, it’s always good to have it looked at by a dermatologist.

I am 22 year old woman l was using skin lite cream for past few months and now my face got burned and my face has two colours how to get rid of this problem
Female | 22
Skin irritation and pigmentation changes could be causing the two different colors. To solve this, stop using the cream right away and use a mild moisturizer instead. Also, always apply sunscreen before going out into the sun each morning or afternoon. If it doesn’t help, see a dermatologist for more advice.

I'm 19 I have bacterial infection past 2months so I visit to my near general doctor they suggest clonate ointment and candid dusting powder but still there is no improvement?daybyday its increased and itching also I have so I used clobetamil ointment now infection is mildly decreased but this is not permanent solution?so pls give solution for my problem dr
Female | 19
Clonate ointment and candid dusting powder are corticosteroid and antifungal powder respectively which are not recommended for treating bacterial infections and hence it is suggested to stop the same at once. Proper diagnosis and treating the condition accordingly is essential in your case. Ruling out underlying cause and identifying the source of bacterial infections is equally important. Please consult a Dermatologist immediately so that appropriate antibiotics, good skin care regimen and creams can be recommended.

Male 52..lately i have this sour and white toungue..scrap it off..it gone..but will come back again..im a smoker and drinker..what causes this..is it alcohol or smoking or caffiene
Male | 52
It appears that you are experiencing symptoms of oral thrush, a condition that causes your tongue to be covered in white. Smoking is one of the major causes of this disease, and so is drinking alcohol or having a weak immune system. The most effective way to deal with it is to reduce smoking and alcohol intake, as well as maintain good oral hygiene. Additionally, drinking more water can also help.

I am suffering from a postpartum hair fall issue. What should I do?
Female | 30
Up to 50% of new moms suffer from normal postpartum hair loss due to such hormonal shifts. It typically spikes around 4-5 months and subsides in a period between six to twelve months. Pay attention to general health, softer hair washing and scalp massage. If hair loss is heavy, prolonged, or associated with scalp problems then it’s advised to see a dermatologist. You are not the only one, and your hair will likely be back to normal!

Little Black spot on penis next to urethra ripped off by me no pain bloof stopper after 5 second i dont know what it is please help and keep anonymous
Male | 16
Worrying about such things is completely normal. The small genitals you described might be a harmless mole or a skin tag. When you accidentally ripped it off, it might have bled through your skin. Keeping the area clean is essential to avoid the infection. If the bleeding persists or if you observe any signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, or pain, it is advisable to get it checked by a dermatologist.

I applied a sunnies face lipstick accidentally ( without examining the lipstick before because i had used it yesterday and it looked fine ) today there was some yellow thin patch on the top part of the lipstick , I wiped it off with water , applied face was ( ponds ) on my lips and then brushed my teeth. Is it okay? should I be concerned? I am not feeling uncomfortable. what should i do with the lipstick? I applied it on my hand ( path was removed after i applied on my lips ) and the texture was fine , with no rash. should I wait and see if the mold regrows? Also i store my lipsticks in dry cool place and i have never mixed it with any other lipstick i just bought it a month ago and used only a few times.
Female | 17
You used a lipstick that may have had some mold on it. Makeup products mold due to age or contamination sometimes. The yellow spot you noticed could be mold. You do not feel any discomfort, so you are probably fine. Always remember to wash the lipstick before using it again. You should also check for any changes on your lips and see a doctor if you notice something unusual.

I have been have an itching sensation whenever i bath on my penis and sometimes when i take a pee, what can this be, recently there were red spots , small ones on the penis head but after a day they just disappeared , what can this be and any medication for it
Male | 24
You’ve got the symptoms of a disease called balanitis. This may be associated with symptoms such as nausea, red spots, and pain when urinating. Balanitis can often be due to a lack of proper hygiene, an allergy to soaps or laundry detergents, or a yeast or bacterial infection. As one of the options to get rid of the itching and irritation, the area should be softly washed with warm water and mild soap. Steer clear of the harsh chemicals and tight clothing. The symptoms are still there, see a dermatologist for more tests and treatment.

This will then require a medical specialist to assess the swelling and find out what causes it. It is recommended to visit a dermatologist in such cases, who can detect and treat skin diseases. However, do not attempt self diagnosis

Location of tinea: only back( upper back left side) WHITE PATCHES Area: one palm size. It neither increases nor decreases. No other symptoms. Please guide
Male | 23
Tinea versicolor can be treated with antifungal creams. Please apply it to the affected area twice a day for 2 weeks. If you don't see any improvement, please try oral antifungal. Also, keep the area dry and clean and avoid wearing tight clothes as this can make the affected area sweaty. If the problem does not go away still, please consult a doctor for the same.

You seem to have a long-lasting pimple, known as a cyst. These pimples linger, painful, and deep within the skin. To aid healing, gently cleanse the area. Don't squeeze or pick at it. After two years, the cyst persists. Seeking advice from a dermatologist is recommended if discomfort continues.

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.

I am 18-year old female and i have been experiencing throat pain, there’s small oranges bumps on the back of my throat, it hurts to sallow and my throat just looks red and swollen is also small patches on my tonsils.
Female | 18
You could have tonsillitis, a condition in which your tonsils become infected. It may be uneasy for you if your throat is red, swollen, and has small orange bumps and patches. Tonsillitis can be caused by viruses or bacteria. In more detail, the patient should follow the three instructions: drinking a lot of non-alcoholic fluids, sleeping more, and using over-the-counter analgesic medication that your healthcare provider recommended. The practice of gargling warm salty water will definitely sooth the pain as well. By that time the infection has not subsided; it can mean that you should see a physician for more care.
