Could red, painful spots on back be bug bites?
I am a 26 year old female. I went on vacation to Rhode Island. On Thursday after arriving I went and sat in a porch swing outside. A couple minutes later I felt something bite me. First it looked like mosquitos. Now it does not. Now it burns/stings. It does not itch. They are red and kinda scabbed over like. I have about 9 spots in a cluster on my back right in the middle of my spine. They are really uncomfortable.

You may have been bitten by a spider or some other bug that causes irritation. Initially these bites may resemble mosquito bites but they change with time. A burning/stinging sensation is a frequent symptom. To ease the discomfort, you could try applying a cold compress to the area. If it does not improve or if you start to feel unwell, visit a dermatologist.

I have been experiencing itching all over my body. It started months ago after being exposed to someone. I tried treating it with all sorts of medication it doesn't go away.my skin looks dry and last year I was on oratane for period of 7 months
Female | 27
Excessive persistent itching throughout your body can become very irritating. It may worsen due to dry skin especially after a drug like Oratane. Sometimes the cause of itching could be allergies or skin conditions. Make sure to use mild creams that will keep your skin moist and avoid taking hot showers. You may have to see a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Greetings sir my daughter is four years old she was some what black with your suggestion I want her for skin whitening treatment which one is permanent for her chemical peel or Laser treatment please suggest me sir
Female | 4
Neither of these treatments is recommended for children under the age of 18. Chemical peels and laser treatments are not permanent skin whitening treatments. These treatments can help to reduce the appearance of dark spots, but they will not permanently lighten the skin.

I am a 25 years old female. I suddenly work up and had herpes and this is the first time, I have never had it or known anyone that has. I haven't kissed anyone in 6 months or more. The last places I was at was work which was a rave last Thursday and on Sunday it was a bit calm. Is it possible I got it from the rave cause I can't understand how I have this rash on my lip and my lips are swollen. I am currently taking Aciclovir tablets and using the cream as well.
Female | 25
Herpes on the lips are called cold sores. They're caused by the herpes simplex virus. This virus spreads through close contact or shared objects like cups and straws. Getting it from the rave is unlikely since the virus doesn't live long outside the body. Taking Aciclovir tablets and using the cream is a great approach! These medications help make the outbreak less severe and shorter. Don't touch or pick at the sores to prevent spreading the virus more. Visit a dermatologist or general physician for further consultation.

Sir mere face PR muhansa aur pimple aur chota chota Dana ho rha ha medicine bi li but koi frk ni pd rha aur mujhe ye kyu ho rha aa plss sir help me
Male | 17
You're having breakouts and little lumps on your face that got worse even when you took medication for them. These ailments can be caused by the pores in your skin being blocked with oil and the dirt that enters them. Make sure your face is washed with a gentle exfoliating cleanser daily. Moreover, avoid getting too close to your face. If you have the same problem, meet a dermatologist for the correct diagnosis and treatment.

Male | 24
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.

I am 27 year old female I have acne and Mark'si have applied many creams and soaps which are not working ft my skin I have combination normal skin only Can u suggest me cream and soap/ face wash what to do now ?
Female | 27
The issue of acne and the blemishes that follow can be quite an irritating one, particularly when the prior medications were not effective. You might achieve a reduction in the number of breakouts by using a mild facial cleanser that contains either salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. Search for non-comedogenic moisturizers and include products with niacinamide or vitamin C to resolve skin spots. Regardless, you may also consult a dermatologist who may prescribe you treatment and additional preventive measures.

Nasty boil down below. Female. Bathed for 3 weeks. Burst but now not leaking but swelling. Have antibiotics. BUT WILL IT BURST ALONE?
Female | 55
Aching and red bumps filled with pus are caused by microbes that enter the skin through cuts or hair follicles. It's good that the bump has burst, but the swelling is still a concern. Being on antibiotics should help fight the infection. The boil will usually drain on its own, and taking a bath and applying warm compresses can help it heal faster. If you develop a fever or the swelling worsens, see a dermatologist.

I have black neck from a very long time I really want a cure for it
Male | 16
Acanthosis Nigricans is what you are suffering from, a skin condition that causes your neck to darken compared to the rest of your body. This may occur if you are obese or have diabetes. It is important to work on reducing your weight and controlling your blood sugar levels. A balanced diet, regular exercise, and maintaining the cleanliness of your skin can gradually improve this problem.

To make it better, first keep the area clean and dry, secondly, wear loose-fitting clothes, and thirdly, avoid using harsh chemicals. If it doesn't improve after a week, it's better to have it checked out by a dermatologist.

Our Child Was Handling Rabbits As His Pet, Due to Which He's Got Rashes Everywhere And Itching.
Male | 10
You need to visit dermatologist immediately if your child is experiencing rashes and itching due to handling pets. Depending on the severity of the reaction, the doctor may prescribe an anti-itch cream or an oral medication. By that time keep the area clean and dry. avoid touching the rabbits until the rash has cleared. Ensure that the rabbits are healthy and free of any parasites or other conditions that could have caused the reaction. Use gloves in the future when handling them.

I applied a lotion in my chest and also in upper legs but unfortunately it also get applied on my scrotum after my scrotum started itching, buring and next day it started peeling
Male | 18
The lotion triggered an irritation in your scrotum area, it seems. Itching, burning sensation, and peeling skin often indicate skin irritation. That delicate region's skin may have reacted adversely to the lotion's ingredients. As a treatment, use lukewarm water and mild soap to gently cleanse the affected area. Avoid applying that lotion there again. However, if symptoms linger, consult a dermatologist promptly.

I(22f) lost 20 kgs in 2022 and since then I am suffering from hairfall. I got blood test 2 months ago and I was deficient in vit d(9.44mg/ml) and iron(30). Doctor prescribed 60000iu shots twice weekly and a tablet for daily with additional 1000iu. Also taking iron supplement. For 2-3 weeks ny hair fall came down to 10-15 strans but slowly started increasing and now at 2 months it's more than 100 per day. Before starting supplements it was 40-50. What happened?
Female | 22
The pills might be starting to work. Not having enough vitamin D or iron can make your hair fall out. You may not get all the nutrients you need from them for a while, even if you’re beginning to see things get better. These are some things that need time. Remember not to be anxious and impatient since new hair will only grow slowly. In case everything remains unchanged, contact a dermatologist for more instructions.

I have some symptoms on my hand
Female | 16
If you have slight swelling and redness on your hand and warmth, it might be inflamed. Which is the body's specific answer to infection or injury. Blisters may also be the source. This may occur either because of friction or as a result of a burning blunder. If you keep having symptoms, consult a dermatologist.

This kind of condition might be brought about by a number of reasons such as vitamin deficiency, yeast infection, or drooling. The main symptoms involve the appearances of redness, swelling, and sores at the corners of the mouth. Ways to get it healed include keeping the area dry, applying the lip balm, and eating a balanced diet that has fruits and vegetables high in vitamins.

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.
