Should I be concerned about dark line on finger?
I am a 36 year old female and about 2 yrs ago a spot so small I thought it was a dot from a pen showed up on the side of the top of my finger. Since then it has gotten a tiny bit bigger but it's not round as when I first saw it. It looks like a dark line very small but when I flash a light on it I can see it's a line not round. Should I be worried?

You have a rather small dark streak growing on your finger over the last couple of years. It could be just a harmless mole or a skin tag, but it’s best to watch if it changes color, size or shape. Sometimes strange skin spots can be a sign of skin cancer. For safety’s sake, it’s always good to have it looked at by a dermatologist.

A mouth infection, it seems, troubled you months ago. Many causes exist for mouth infections: poor cleaning of teeth and gums, cuts inside the mouth, or a weak immune system. Pain, swelling, redness, even pus - these symptoms might appear. To treat the infection, some steps: rinse with saltwater, brush, and floss diligently, and see a dermatologist for antibiotics if severe. Mouth infections, while unpleasant, can improve with proper care.

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.

It’s been over a week almost 2 weeks the rash I have under my armpits still itch and seems to be not getting better I don’t see my doctor until march 14 and I dont consider this an emergency for me to go to the ER I’ve tried putting on antibodics cream and Benadryl cream and burn relief gel with lidocaine and it seems to not be helping I haven’t shaved or put any deodorant on what else do you recommend I can put on to help with the itching ? Or what else could it be since it’s not getting better
Female | 33
Under your armpits, you seem to have a persistent rash. Your description suggests intertrigo, a fungal infection. When skin rubs together and moisture gets trapped, fungi can thrive. To ease itching, try an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream. Keep the area clean and dry. Avoid tight clothes. Use a gentle, unscented soap. If the rash persists, your dermatologist may prescribe an antifungal cream.

This will then require a medical specialist to assess the swelling and find out what causes it. It is recommended to visit a dermatologist in such cases, who can detect and treat skin diseases. However, do not attempt self diagnosis

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.

I have blade cut mark on face how should I remove I am feeling from it as a nervous
Male | 26
You have a cut on your face, and it may be making you uncomfortable. Cuts can happen due to accidents or contact with something sharp. However, there is no need to worry. To help it heal properly, keep the wound clean. Apply a thin layer of antibacterial ointment, and cover it with a bandage if necessary. If the cut is deep, appears red, or is oozing, see a dermatologist immediately.

I am 26 year old male and have face black skin present I have Medisalic ointment used
Male | 26
You might be experiencing a condition called hyperpigmentation, which is when some of the skin is darker. Medisalic ointment might not be the right move since it has powerful steroids that may have adverse effects on your skin. I suggest quitting the ointment and soothing your skin with a gentle moisturizer. Additional tip - sun protection - you can cover your skin with a hat or sunscreen. If the issue persists, it's best to seek advice from a dermatologist.

Hy good evening sir... My name is Rahif and I am currently working in saudi arabia... I am facing mouth irritation like small bumps under right side of my tounge ,they come and go away but not permanently from last some months also from last some days I am facing oral thrush,can you guide me please..
Male | 27
The little bumps under your tongue that appear and disappear might be swollen taste buds, which don’t pose any danger. Conversely, oral thrush is a result of yeast infection. This is quite widespread and can be cured with antifungal drugs that should be prescribed by a physician. Do not forget to brush your teeth regularly and to follow a balanced diet.

Itching problems now 7 days
Female | 19
Irregularities like dry skin, allergies, bug bites, and some skin conditions can cause itching. If you haven't changed any products or detergents recently, try applying a moisturizing lotion, taking oatmeal baths, or using a cold compress to ease the itching. However, if the problem persists, consider visiting a dermatologist.

Male | 37
Your talking about alopecia areata. Main line of treatment for alopecia areata is local and intralesional steroids. Oral and local immunosuppressant are also very effective. Pls try for TOFACITINIB 5MG TWICE A DAY AFTER FOOD. Reach out to me or any dermatologist for further evaluation and second opinion - Dermatologists in India.

I think I have a std or something, i have bump that appeared recently on my lower bum crack and i had a bump that was close to my penis in my public area
Male | 15
Be sure to go to the doctor as soon as possible if you think you might be infected with an STD. You may have genital herpes, or an STD if you experience a swelling in the bump on your lower bum area. A dermatologist or a specialist in sexual health can be suited to diagnose and treat any conditions you may suffer.

i am 32 year old female i have black heads problem in last 3 months and some black ots on hand and legs
Female | 32
Blackheads are small bumps that form when hair follicles get blocked by dead skin cells and excess oil. This can happen due to excess sebum, hormonal changes, or improper skin care. To reduce blackheads, use a gentle exfoliating scrub and a non-comedogenic moisturizer. Always clean your skin well to avoid irritation and prevent the urge to squeeze blackheads.

Having allergy since few days skin rashes only
Male | 17
Allergic reactions bring skin discomfort - rashes, redness, itchiness, bumps. Foods, plants, pet dander often trigger them. Avoid allergy sources. Cool compresses soothe rashes. Antihistamines help, too. But if symptoms persist, visit a dermatologist.

I have skin acne issue Mene BHT treatment krwaya likn treatment k bad Meri skin red huna start hu gae bht red ness h face pe dagh BHT zayda
Male | 22
The reason for this could be the use of ingredients in the skincare products that are too harsh or an allergic reaction. In order to reduce the redness, it is better to stay away from those products that could be causing the irritation and substitute them with mild, non-comedogenic ones. In case the redness still occurs or even becomes worse, it may be good to contact a dermatologist for some other advice.

My age is 27 .I have acne problem for around 10 yrs..Can i take tretinoin tablet 5mg lifelong on a daily basis..this stops my acne breakouts but if i stop it again my acne starts coming again. Is it ok to take any tablets on a daily basis to prevent acne breakouts
Male | 25
Acne is red bumps on the skin. It is common for young people like you. Acne happens when skin makes lots of oil and gets blocked. Taking tretinoin tablets for a long time is not a good idea. It is better to find why the skin gets bumps. Maybe try new skin routines with dermatologist's help.

I am 18 years old . I am having excessive hair loss for past 2 months . I was stressful due to exams in the 2 months and my periods have also been delayed. I am not under any medications . I have dandruff for more than 2 years by now
Female | 18
It sounds like you have been experiencing a lot of stress recently due to your exams, and this can sometimes lead to hair loss and delayed periods. Dandruff can also contribute to hair loss. It's important to manage your stress levels, eat a balanced diet, and use a gentle anti-dandruff shampoo. If the hair loss continues, it's a good idea to talk to a dermatologist for further advice.

I am an 18 year old female and my nipples look really weird. around the bulb (?) of the nipple are patches of white skin.
Female | 18
You may be experiencing a condition called nipple eczema. This might make patches of white skin around the nipple. It may also itch or hurt sometimes. Allergic reactions, harsh soaps, or dry skin can be reasons for the nipple eczema. In addition, use mild and unscented products on your breasts and use a good quality moisturizer. If it's persistent, you should also approach a dermatologist for more preference.
