Do I still have scabies with red spots?
I am a 22 year old with suspected scabies. Have tried permethrin cream, malathion lotion and oral ivermectin. Have been very thorough with the instructions, however am still itchy and now red spots are appearing as opposed to the skin coloured burrows that I previously had. Do i still have scabies or something else?

It does not look like the scabies treatment has worked as it should. So you still have a rash and itching. Scabies can be quite challenging to remove completely at times. New red spots can mean a few things, such as a reaction to the treatment or another skin condition. To check it out, it is better to talk to the dermatologist for a deeper investigation as well as to discuss other possible treatments.

I am 28 year female.i have ithyosis vulgaris which is very itchy and dry skin is present.what can I do?
Female | 28
You might have a condition called ichthyosis vulgaris, where the skin becomes dry and itchy because it doesn't shed properly. To manage this, it's important to keep your skin moisturized with non-irritating, fragrance-free lotions. Taking warm, not hot, showers with mild soap can also help. Don’t forget to drink plenty of water, as it helps nourish your skin from the inside.

A painful lump near your anus could indicate perianal abscess. The abscess usually results from bacteria infecting small glands around the anus. It leads to redness, swelling, and throbbing pain. Antibiotics or a minor drainage procedure may be necessary. Keeping the area clean and dry aids healing. The condition involves a painful lump forming near your anus.

red spots on my thighs, making me super itchy, for 24hours
Female | 26
Hives seem to be your issue. Red, itchy spots appear on skin when histamine is released. This can happen due to allergies, stress, or infections. For relief, use antihistamines and apply cool compresses. But if hives continue, see a dermatologist.

Will washing his hair scar his scalp or will his scalp scab and heal back to normal?
Other | 24
Regularly washing hair won't harm your scalp or cause scabs, unless you scrub roughly or use very hot water. If scalp feels sore, turns red, or develops scabs, try gentler shampoo and lukewarm water instead. Don't scratch the scalp. Allow it to heal naturally. However, if the issue persists, consult a dermatologist for professional advice.

You might have a fungal issue around your scrotum area. Fungal infections cause red, itchy bumps. These thrive in warm, damp spots. Keep that area dry and clean. Use an antifungal cream, it may help. If not better soon, check with a dermatalogist for advice.

Hello. Roughly one month ago I purchased a home wart removal kit to remove what appeared to be a benign wart on the back of my knee. The nozzle on this device broke during use, spraying an area roughly two inches in diameter on my skin with dimethyl ether. This caused a small superficial frostbite/burn, but didn't take care of the wart so I used another kit afterwards which used a swab rather than a nozzle. After using both of these, the area blistered. This blister quickly popped and fell off on its own after just a day, leaving an area of incredibly raw and bloody skin. I applied neosporin to this area regularly and kept it clean allowing it to heal. It's been a month now and while this area isn't entirely healed, it has protective skin on it now. My issue here is the area has a blotchy dark coloration now, looking almost like bruising. This seems odd to me given that it's been a month now, should I be worried about this coloration? There is no pain at the site, though the skin there is quite thin and rough.
Male | 32
Its natural to experience discoloration in skin especially after a blister or wound has occurred. color changes during the healing process. It could be due to hyperpigmentation which is the increased production of melanin in that area. This can result in a bruise-like appearance.

I have fungal infection in my hands and thighs. It is not getting cured even after a lot of treatment.
Male | 19
Fungal infection which is not easy to cure, has found a place on your hands and thighs. Fungal infections are caused by the skin being warm and moist, like when we sweat a lot, can occur. The primary way to get rid of it is to maintain the cleanliness and dryness of the affected areas. Antifungal creams or powders that a dermatologist recommends can also be helpful. Don't forget to wear loose and breathable clothes.

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.

Can hair loss at crown be treated effectively?
Male | 29
Hair loss in the crown area, often called a bald spot, is usually hereditary. Yes, it runs in the family! Other factors like stress, poor diet, and certain illnesses can also contribute. DHT blockers like Propecia (finasteride) and minoxidil (Rogaine) may slow hair loss in men. It's always best to consult a dermatologist for advice.

Hi i am facing hair fall problem can i take keraboots tablet
Female | 21
Hair loss is a big problem for many people and the causes can be different like stress, bad nutrition, or hormonal imbalance. Keraboots tablets potentially can mitigate your hair fall issue as they are filled with the vitamins you are missing out on. However, proper nutrition which includes a well-balanced diet and caring for your hair should be the foundation of a healthy lifestyle. If the problem still does not go away, it is wise to talk to a dermatologist for more guidance.

Itching with dark black circles and also it is spreading in my body
Male | 21
Dark black circles spreading on your body seem difficult. Maybe it's eczema causing those itchy dry patches? Eczema makes skin irritated and dark. Left alone, it gets worse. Try gentle lotion, and avoid harsh soap. See a dermatologist if it won't go away. They'll help diagnose the problem and treat it properly.

I have sebaceous cyst on my back with inflammation. doctor suggested for surgical removal. But I have keloid history, what treatment should I go for
Male | 32
Given your history with keloids, having the cyst surgically taken out could result in the formation of keloids. Keloids are raised scars that grow beyond the original injury site. Instead of opting for an operation, you may want to think about other alternatives such as steroid injections or laser therapy. These treatments can help to decrease inflammation and prevent the formation of keloids. It is important to talk about these options with a dermatologist so that you can choose the one that fits you best.

You could have shingles, a condition with red and itchy bumps. The chickenpox virus causes it later in life. It spreads from an area to another area. Despite no fever, you should see a dermatologist. They'll confirm the diagnosis and give treatment.

Red rases in my face nd it’s itching. And itching in my scalp nd hair white issue
Male | 24
It seems that dandruff might be one of the conditions. The main symptom of dandruff is itching, and white particles of skin can be seen on hair. Sometimes, this condition might also produce red patches on the face, especially around the hairline area. The pathogen fungi on your scalp cause dandruff. For example, choose a shampoo that is specifically designed for dandruff. In particular, washing hair regularly along with the stress management procedure may also be beneficial for you.

How do I make anal warts go away on their own at home?
Female | 17
Anal warts are an issue that is caused by a virus, and they may be gone without any treatment, but it may last for a long time. The lumps are either pink or red and are located around the area. Make sure the place around is dry and clean avoiding the corners of the skin with excessive moisture to be infected. Prevent yourself from squeezing, or rubbing them. Wearing breathable cotton underwear and staying away from tight clothes would prove helpful. Pain or increased tenderness indicates the priority to see a dematologist if necessary.
