Managing Acne and Dry Eyes
I am a 21 years old male and i have had acne since the age of 16. I took isotretinoin at the age of 19 and my acne cleared up but i had to go through the treatment with the pain of severe dry eyes, i didn't want the acne to come back. My acne got cleared up but i was left with dry eyes. I went to an eye doctor and got diagnosed with (MGD) and the doctor told me to put warm compress and take Omega-3 supplement and my eyes got better but now i got the acne back, and when i quit taking the omega 3 supplement my acne clears up but my eyes gets dry again.

Dry eyes you experience is meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), which can occur after taking isotretinoin. Supplements like omega-3s may help your dry eyes. However, they could worsen your acne. It's wise to consult a dermatologist to strike a balance between managing both conditions.

Persistent Sweating in hand palm
Female | 21
Excessive palm sweating happens. Sometimes it comes from stress or hot weather. Sometimes, a medical issue causes it. Some people sweat more than others; that's okay. Using hand antiperspirants helps. Also, you could ask a dermatologist about treatments.

I am a 19 year old female. I have had a red patch on the inside of my upper lip for around 4 and a half weeks that hasn’t gone. Sometimes it’s painful, and it regularly tastes metallic. I’m not sure what this is or how to treat it
Female | 19
You may be dealing with a condition called oral lichen planus, which can cause painful red spots in your mouth that taste metallic. Don't worry, it's not contagious. The exact cause is unknown, it might be linked to the immune system. To ease the discomfort, avoid hot or sour foods and use mild mouth rinses while keeping your mouth clean. If these tips don't help or your symptoms worsen, make an appointment with a dermatologist to get a proper diagnosis and discuss further treatment options.

I am a boy and I am 22 years old. I have a lot of itching under and around my penis. More this summer. Been using Ringguard for a long time. When I use the ointment it goes away. If left out it itches again. Tell me how to get rid of it
Male | 22
You may have jock itch, a fungal infection. Itching around the penis is a symptom. It grows in warm, moist areas, so summer can cause it. Ringguard helps, but it may return. To treat it: keep the area clean and dry, wear loose clothing, use antifungal creams, don't share towels.

Female | 21
It seems as if you may be suffering from severe hair loss. It may as well have been caused by many factors like stress, hormonal changes or a disease. I would suggest visiting a dermatologist, who could examine your scalp and diagnose the reason for hair loss. They can then develop a customized treatment plan for you

Hello, Recently I have noticed what looks like a rash on my foot, but it isn't itchy and It doesn't usually hurt when I am walking. I've had it for a few weeks it doesn't seem to be getting worse but it doesn't seem to be improving. I'm worried it could be something serious
Female | 32
A rash without itchiness or pain seems harmless, yet various factors could cause it. It might stem from a fungal infection, eczema, or contact dermatitis. However, some non-itchy rashes indicate more severe underlying issues. To ensure proper diagnosis and treatment, consulting a dermatologist remains the safest bet.

Male | 52
It could be because of a fungus attack, termed Candidiasis, also the one known as oral thrush. This can happen after unprotected sex, smoking, or using alcohol. To deal with this practice, antifungal remedies are written by a dermatologist, and refrain from smoking and heavy drinking. Using a good personal hygiene routine has other essential roles to play, too.

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.

I am 37 years old female suffering from sticky skin syndrome .my whole skin becomes sticky.i am not getting any treatment bcoz doctors are clueless about this condition.i don't know emwhich redirection create this symptoms.i need help doctor who can treat me in india
Female | 37
This could be a case of hyperhidrosis, a condition where the body produces more sweat than normal. Sticky skin may also occur in humid weather or when one is sweating excessively. You can try using antiperspirants or powders to keep the skin dry. Drink plenty of water and put on loose-fitting clothes made from breathable materials. If the stickiness persists, it would be best to consult with a dermatologist who will provide personalized advice and treatment options.

Hi. I have brown dots on my forehead and cheeks bones. I have been using vitamin c and la roche-posay effaclar duo with +M. But the dots are not going.
Female | 21
Brown splotches on the forehead or cheekbones may be due to a skin condition known as hyperpigmentation, which indicates that certain areas of the skin produce more melanin, in dark spots. The easiest way to improve the situation is to use skincare products with vitamin C and avoid sun exposure. Still, patients need to understand that it does take a little time. The use of sunscreen can help prevent the spots from getting darker. You can visit a dermatologist in case of failure.

Male | 30
You may be suffering from a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that can lead to the problem of open wounds and eczema on the penis. These signs might be a clue to a syndrome called herpes or genital warts. These infections can be spread from one person to another through sexual contact. Diagnosis and treatment should be done by a sexologist. It is the best decision to put away sexual activity until you visit a doctor.

Female | 20
Vitiligo patients can have ticks. These tiny bugs latch onto skin, causing issues. Ticks prefer warm, moist spots like back, neck, hair. They may lead to itching, redness, rash. To avoid ticks: wear protective clothes outdoors, use bug repellent. If you find a tick, remove it carefully using tweezers.

Male | 18
Be mindful when taking your medicine. If you're using creatine for muscle building while treating a skin allergy, timing is important. Some medications may interact with creatine or affect your workout. To be safe, ask your dermatologist if your skin allergy medicine will interfere with your creatine use.

I’m Aryan Soma, age-21. I am having severe acne/cysts problem. I have visited many dermatologist. But it didn’t worked now because of my tablets and all. Im having a hairfall issue which I can’t bare. Im here to ask you? Do you have a permanent solution for this with quick results like laser treatment.
Male | 21
Acne cysts are the most severe form of acne which need immediate attention for they may lead to permanent acne scars. Intralesional corticosteroid injections are given into the acne nodules and cysts are drained for faster resolution of nodules and cysts. Diagnosing and treatment of underlying cause is essential to resolve the acne. Oral retinoids are to be recommended in your case. If hair fall is an issue, Dermatologist may recommend blood tests like serum ferritin, vitamin B12, TSH, vitamin D etc which may be the cause of hair fall. Using the right hair supplements with doctor’s prescription according to the deficiencies, may help treat the hair fall concern. Topical solutions containing Capixyl, Minoxidil etc are also recommended to control hair shedding and promote hair growth.

You may have eczema, a condition that can lead to itchy, inflamed patches of skin that usually show up on the back of your knees. This happens when your skin gets too dry and irritated. To relieve your symptoms, try using a mild moisturizer and staying away from strong soaps or detergents. If this doesn’t help, talk to a dermatologist who can give you more advice.
