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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If you have a bump on your earlobe after getting a piercing, it might not hurt but can appear pink with a dark or black spot in the middle. These are often called piercing bumps and are usually caused by irritation or infection. Try cleaning it gently with saline solution and avoid touching or changing the piercing too much. If it doesn't improve or starts to hurt, please make an appointment to see a dermatologist soon for further assistance.

The treatment is mild topical steroids like hydrocortisone. Apart from this using sunscreen is important. White patch can also be vitiligo which requires more prolonged treatment.

I have skin problem,I had pimples on face and chest for long time
Female | 22
Getting pimples on your face and chest is quite annoying. Those red bumps often occur when hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin cells. This happens if your body produces excessive oil. Wash your skin gently using a mild soap to keep it clean. You could try using over-the-counter acne products with benzoyl peroxide to help clear up the pimples. If the issue persists, visit a dermatologist.

Female | 42
A rash on your legs seems quite concerning. It might be ringworm, showing circular reddish patches. Ringworm often causes itchiness and burning sensations. Keep affected areas dry and clean. Try antifungal creams from stores, they may help clear it. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, see a dermatologist. Many skin issues are treatable when properly addressed, so there's no need to panic unduly. With proper care, the condition should improve.
