Should I continue acne treatment for recent chin irritation?
I am a 39 year old woman and am having an issue with my skin on my chin for the last 2 weeks. After friction from making out with someone new. He did not have a beard. Maybe slight stubble but really not noticeable. My skin became raw and I put Vaseline on it and neosporin. After about a week acne started appearing. I changed my regimen to a salicylic acid ointment and moisturizer. It seems to help a bit but not a lot. My skin is less raw but still splotchy and red with acne. I have not ever struggled with skin issues. Should I keep up the acne treatment? Should I do something else? It peels and is uncomfortable (it stings with the ointment but once it dries it doesn’t hurt but it does bother me). I’m traveling in Brazil now but am from the US. Any help appreciated before I head home! I plan to see a dermatologist PA when I get back.

Your skin seems irritated by friction. The rawness, redness, and acne result from that. Using salicylic acid ointment helps acne. Continue applying it. Gently wash your skin, moisturize too. Consult a dermatologist for guidance.

My skin is very oily and I get pimples on my face
Female | 22
Excess oil production causes oily skin. Clogged pores result in pimples - painful red bumps. Wash your face twice daily with gentle cleansers. Use oil-free products. Avoid excessive face touching. If problems persist, consult a dermatologist.

It's been a month for me Sore throat and yellow and white blisters on the inner wall of the throat What causes it It only hurts a little while swallowing and it feels like there is something on the inner wall of the throat
Male | 25
You may be suffering from a disease called pharyngitis. It is a high-sounding word that refers to the inflammation of your throat. An infection probably causes yellow and white blisters. This may be caused by either a virus or a bacterium. On the bright side, most cases of pharyngitis tend to be cured independently. Keep drinking a lot of fluids, resting, and gargling with warm salt water to help the pain. If it doesn't get any better after a couple of days, it's a good idea to see a dermatologist for a check-up.

I have iching in scrotal sac. From last 5 days
Male | 17
You may have a condition called jock itch. Symptoms consist of itching in the scrotal area, redness, and sometimes a rash. The jock itch is caused by a fungus, which is more common in hot and damp environments. Moments when the itch first strikes, always maintain the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting clothes, and use antifungal creams to treat it. If the condition doesn't improve, visit a dermatologist.

Dark skin ke liye kaun sa face wash ya cream use karey and pigmentation ke liye kya use Karen, likewise for oily skin ke liye
Female | 25
The colour of the skin is determined by the amount of melanin produced in the skin. This in turn is influenced by genetic factors, sun exposure, drugs etc. Uneven skin tone, or any other pigmentation which is acquired and not genetic can be treated with various depigmentation creams which are to be used as per Dermatologist’s prescription. Sunscreens are mandatory to protect the skin from tan and other signs of some damage. Procedural treatments like chemical peels, laser toning etc are recommended apart from topical creams to treat the pigmentary concerns. It is not advised to use OTC creams claiming improvement in skin pigmentation without professional advice. Face washes can never treat pigmentation. They can only help clean excess oil, dirt and grime collected over the skin. For oily skin, one can use, salicylic acid, glycolic acid or tea tree oil based facewashes. For more information please visit dermatologist near you.

Hallo dr I’m 46 year female and I had lots of thick hair on my chin area I m worry what is the solution?
Female | 46
You have problem of hirsuitism (unwanted facial hair). This could be due to hormonal imbalance, or repeated use of razor on the skin or the side effects of some medication. Best solution for this is laser hair removal treatment.

how to cure my body odor. l have tried everything and nothing seems to work. such as different soaps, exfoliating gloves, apple vinegar vinegar
Female | 15
Bacteria on the skin mix with sweat, causing odor. Certain foods can worsen body odor. Using aluminum deodorant helps reduce sweating. Shower daily and wear breathable fabrics. Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet. Body odor isn't a complex issue—keeping clean is key. However, since bacteria are always present, it's important to combat odor daily.

Last night, while masturbating, i got a friction burn (of a size of pea) on my glans penis & it became reddish .... my semen came in contact with it for some minutes.... will it lead to the formation of anti sperm antibodies?
Male | 25
A friction burn on the penis head can make it red and uncomfortable, especially if semen touches it. However, the risk of developing anti-sperm antibodies from this is low. To aid healing, keep the area clean and avoid further irritation. If you notice any unusual symptoms or concerns, it's always wise to seek medical advice.

I am 31 year old female from lucknow ,i want to know about skin melanin treatment surgery for skin lightening and whitening ,is this is good for skin in future or in my 60’s ,,i have dry combination skin Please suggest
Female | 31
Skin melanin treatment surgery can be harmful in the long run so I suggest not to go for it. You can try other treatments like chemical peels or dermabrasion instead. These treatments can help lighten the skin and are not harmful in the long run. Also using moisturizer and sunscreen can help.

REDNESS IN RIGHT EAR AND WHITE LAYER BEHIND REDNESS
Male | 28
If your ear becomes red and has a white layer behind the redness, the cause could be bacteria or fungi. This can take place if water becomes trapped in your ear or if you scratch the inside of your ear. You might also have the sensation of pain or itching. Seeing a dermatologist is important to treat the disease.

Hi. I've a question regarding my niece's skin problem. She is a 7-years old. She has developed red patches of skin on her cheek, chin and around nose. The affected area of her cheek is very dry. I brought her to a doctor who prescribed two creams, mezoderm(betamethasone) and gentamicin-akos which made things far worse. Then at the pharmacy I was advised to use ftorokart(also a cream with triamcinolone) for my niece's face. After a few uses of the cream, I've seen some noticeable improvement in her skin condition since she started to use it. It took the redness out of her nose. But she still has rash and blisters on her face. I took photos of her face in case it might be helpful for you to identify the reason for her skin condition. Here are the photos of hers: https://ibb.co/q9t8bSL https://ibb.co/Q8rqcr1 https://ibb.co/JppswZw https://ibb.co/Hd9LPkZ Would you mind helping us to identify what caused this skin condition?

According to the symptoms and signs described, it appears to be a case of atopic dermatitis which is common among children of the mentioned age. It is a condition where the skin barrier is disturbed and is extremely sensitive to external environmental triggers like cold and dry weather, dust etc. It presents as red dry itchy patches on cheeks, hands and legs sometimes whole body. The above mentioned creams contain topical corticosteroids which are to be used with a great caution under the supervision of Dermatologist. Good barrier repairing creams including emollients with squalene, ceramides etc can help reviving the skin barrier. Steroid sparing drugs can be prescribed to manage the rash. Please consult a qualified Dermatologist and do not use topical corticosteroids without doctor’s advice as it may cause many adverse effects.

I have a skin fungal infection what should I do
Male | 30
This fungi become the ones that colonize on the skin and grow. You may notice red or dry flaky skin due to the infection. People who suffer from this type of problem are usually very itchy. One way to solve that is to apply antifungal creams which your pharmacist can assist you in recommending. It is important to use the area clean and dry. Apart from the creams, if it doesn't become cured, visit a dermatologist.

What is the best treatment for vitiligo? Benifit between Pototherapy or oral medication for vitiligo treatment
Female | 27
Vitiligo makes your skin lose color in patches. Cells that produce pigment stop functioning, leading to white spots. Treatment choices are phototherapy and medicines. Phototherapy uses light to restore pigmentation. Oral medications help regain skin color. A dermatologist can recommend treatment after assessing your condition. Phototherapy and medication are effective options. Discuss with your doctor to choose the right approach.

I have been going to a dermatologist for the past 1 month. I am taking isotretinoin tablets 10 mg. But due to financial reasons I couldn't visit my doctor
Female | 21
You’re using isotretinoin tablets for your skin, which is perfect for acne treatment. Sometimes, dermatologists may slow down visits due to financial problems. The doctor will constantly monitor your situation and modify the treatment accordingly. In case of any new symptoms or concerns, you should contact your dermatologist as soon as possible.

It appears to be a skin tag or a cyst, which sometimes are quite normal and usually harmless. Skin tags are small, soft growths that can appear on the skin, while cysts are fluid-filled lumps. Nevertheless, have a dermatologist check it out to be secure. Usually, the doctor can get it removed by a simple procedure.

What causes one side of your face to swell all of a sudden
Female | 33
Parotitis, a swollen saliva gland, strikes suddenly. The gland blocks, causing enlargement, soreness, and reddening. In this state, fluids, heat, and professional assessment provide relief. Hydrating abundantly eases discomfort. Applying warmth soothes inflammation. Visit a dermatologist or a dentist for treatment.

Hair fall may happen as a result of several reasons such as stress, unhealthy diet, or heredity. You may be the one to whom it is happening if you notice more hair on the pillow or in the shower. To support your efforts, healthy eating, stress relief, and using gentle hair products can be helpful.
