Can Tretinoin Help Improve Acne and Skin Texture?
I am a 20 year old female. I've had acne for over 2 years now. I have Acne, small red and white bumps, textured and oily skin as well as hyperpigmentation and post acne dark spots. I Have been using tretinoin twice a week for a month now and have seen slight improvement in the texture of my skin without any dryness or irritation, followed by moisturizer , hyaluronic acid and sunscreen in the morning.

Pimples come from oil and dead skin blocking hair holes. Oily skin makes more pimples. Tretinoin medicine helps by clearing blocked holes. It makes skin better. Using cream, hyaluronic stuff, and sunblock is good too. Keep doing it. Pimples take time to go away. You can also visit a dermatologist.

Male | 47
You are suffering from a fungal infection of your left leg, which is causing a lot of discomfort. Fungal infections are, in general, a common occurrence and can be caused by the overgrowth of certain fungi on the skin. You can try keeping the area clean and dry, using antifungal creams, and wearing loose clothing. If the symptoms do not go away or worsen, consult a dermatologist.

Haire white problem I am very worried
Male | 18
White hair can happen due to factors like stress, genetics, or lack of nutrients. Sometimes, underlying conditions like thyroid issues can also cause early greying. You may consider visiting a dermatologist, who can guide you on the best treatments and lifestyle changes to manage this problem.

Hello! I have fair white skin and I got sunburned at the beach really bad, I have a fever, shivers and I am vomiting. I cannot sleep out of pain and I do not know what’s happening to me. Is this sun poisoning? No alcohol No pregnancy No medical history
Female | 29
It appears you might have a severe sunburn, exhibiting signs of sun poisoning. When you experience an intense sunburn, sun poisoning can occur. Fever, chills, vomiting, and severe discomfort are symptoms. Ensure adequate hydration, cool your skin with compresses and take pain relievers if necessary. Seek shade and avoid sun exposure until you recover. If the problem persists, visit a dermatologist.

I am 23 yrs old female and from past 2- 3 days iam observing white patches on my face. I was using Hydroinone Tretinion and Mometasone furoate cream, after using this cream I feel I got this white patches. Can i know why its
Female | 23
The combination of hydroquinone, retinoid, and mometasone cream, often called Clubmen's formula, is used for hyperpigmented disorders like melasma. This medication is available over the counter under various brand names. It is the common side effect of the cream that it causes depigmentation or white patches, thinning of the skin, prominent blood vessels, acne, increased hair and also increased sensitivity to sun. Please do not use any such creams without consulting a dermatologist.

Male | 35
There is a possibility of a fungal infection on your penis. After intercourse, this can occur. The white dots and pain you are experiencing near your kidney may be linked to this infection. Fungal infections can lead to the creation of irritation and discomfort. Keeping the area clean and dry is important. You can try applying an antifungal cream to the infection to get rid of it. If it does not improve, you should go to a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

I fell asleep outside and got a painful sunburn on my leg. I went to softball practice and got hit in the leg with a softball. Am I allowed to ice it because I thought you couldn't ice a sunburn but it hurts to put pressure on it.
Female | 15
Sunburns are very painful, and getting hit by a softball on top of that is even worse. Applying ice won't harm the sunburn and can help reduce pain and swelling. Wrap the ice in a towel to protect your skin. If the pain is severe or doesn't improve, see a dermatologist for proper treatment.

Male | 21
There is a chance you are experiencing folliculitis which is a common condition. Folliculitis is a term used to describe a situation when hair follicles become inflamed and infected. Symptoms can consist of red spots, itching, and in some cases pus formation. Friction, sweat, or bacteria are the possible culprits for this. If it doesn't improve, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist for further assistance.

You ingested deep freeze gel by mistake, which can upset your tummy. The gel might contain unsafe ingredients if swallowed. Don't worry, but act quickly. Drink water to dilute the gel. Rinse your mouth thoroughly too. If symptoms worsen like breathing troubles, visit a doctor right away.

Male | 23
Cats can scratch, and it happens. You've cleaned it properly, which is great. However, keep an eye out for signs of infection, like redness, swelling, warmth, or increasing pain near the scratch. If you notice any of these, see a doctor right away.

Male | 16
Hi , pimple marks can be treated by using topical creams containing retinoids, vitamin C or glycolic acids . One should also strive to follow a good skincare regimen and not squeeze their pimples. If the scars are deep, one should consider seeking medical attention from a dermatologist specialized in treating skin conditions.

Cut self trimming pubic hair Hi Im 25 and was trying to trim my testicles with scissors and knicked a bit of skin and they were proper scissors. It bled a decent bit at first but I was in the shower so I was able to get a bit of toilet roll and hold it to stop the bleeding. It made me very dizzy to the point where I was struggling to stand I'm not sure if it was just because I was panicking or pain. But It stopped for a bit and I tried to stand and it started bleeding a tiny bit like a drop because I think it was a proper cut. I stood up again but I don't thinks it's bleeding any more and just looks like a knick. But is it something I should get checked out or should it be fine to let it heal. Sorry if this is the wrong thing to do I don't really know who to ask and phoning the doctors at my bit is really bad just now cause there so busy and if I'm just overreacting.
Male | 25
If the bleeding has stopped and the cut is small, it should heal on its own. Keep the area clean and apply an antiseptic. However, because you felt dizzy and it was a proper cut, it's a good idea to see a doctor, specifically a dermatologist or a urologist, to ensure there's no risk of infection or other complications.

I have gone through hair transplant surgery 4.5 months ago. I am suffering from Androgenetic Alopecia. As per the doctor, I am taking minoxidil and finastride on daily basis. However, my hair sheds while I apply minoxidil (10-15 hairs shed) and while I wash my head. Please suggest whether this is normal or should I consider any other treatment?
Hair fall is natural. As the lifecycle of hair has different stages.
- Telogen and exogen are shedding phases of hair cycle where we lose hair. 15 to 20% hair are shed in these phases, therefore it's natural.
- But when you lose more hair than routine, then its a matter of concern. Upto 30 to 40 hair per day is normal. Whatever you lose will grow back according to your hair cycle.
- If you are losing thin hair very frequently then it's alarming as well.
- After starting minoxidil hair fall increases. But that is normal and you will get those hair back because you are not losing them from the root.
Keep using minoxidil and finasteride it will help you.
You can refer this page to find doctors - Dermatologists in India, or you can consult me as well anytime you feel that the state of your hair is seeing no improvement.

i have dead skin constantly pealling off my toes and a couple of cuts at the bottom of each toe and in-between the toes too
Male | 43
You probably developed athlete's foot. This fungal infection grows between toes, warm and moist spots. Peeling skin signifies it. Cuts are another symptom. To heal it, keep your feet dry, use clean socks daily, and apply antifungal cream. Clearing it takes time. Be patient. Stick with the treatment regimen.

I am a 16 year old female who has only one known allergy, (dust mites), but my hands are hot and seem to swell slightly after using Clorox wipes for an extended period of time today. This has never happened before. My finger looks odd as well, and I’m concerned.
Female | 16
You may be having a slight allergic reaction to the Clorox wipes. Hot, swollen hands and a strange-looking finger could mean contact dermatitis, which happens when your skin doesn’t agree with certain things. Wash your hands with cool water and mild soap to make them feel better, then put on some lotion that will soothe them. Don’t use those wipes right now – and if it doesn’t get any better or feels worse at all after doing this stuff try talking with a dermatologist.

Male | 18
Scalp folliculitis makes hair follicles on your head get infected. It causes red, itchy bumps. It can make you lose hair too. You must keep your head clean. Do not scratch it. Use special shampoos with medicine in them. See a skin dermatologist. They can help treat scalp folliculitis.

Female | 23
Don't worry the white patches will recover. They are post inflammatory hypopigmentation. Complete it as per course of a month and local cream for a month, so that reoccurrence is avoided. Other days apply Absorb powder to reduce sweating and secondary infection. For more information visit best dermatologist in India

My name is winnie, I'm 26yrs I have a problem with my private parts So itching everyday
Female | 26
It looks like you might be dealing with a yeast infection. Common signs are itching around the private parts, redness, and thick white discharge. This is usually caused by antibiotics, tight clothing, or having a weak immune system. You can wear loose cotton panties to aid in relieving it, stay away from scented products, and try using over-the-counter antifungal creams. If the situation does not improve, visit a dermatologist.
