The lump you are sensing in your groin region might be an engorged inguinal lymph node. Lymph nodes can get bigger due to different reasons like a cold or a sore. Most of the time, they return to their normal size without any intervention. Mind it, if the situation gets worse, you might experience pain and other signs like fever, do visit a dermatologist.

Could scabies spread through me being fully clothed and sleeping in a bed and then someone else using the bed
Female | 20
Yes scabies can be transmitted even when you are fully dressed and lay down in bed. Scabies occurs due to the movement of very small mites that may transfer from one person to another through direct contact or via the exchange of bedding and clothing. If in doubt, and you’re suspicious, that you have scabies, it is advisable to seek the help of a dermatologist

Dear sir last two years I am suffering from skin irritate and red colour round patch on all over my body and head also. I am 25 years old. I already use medicine such as . ELICASAL cream and Methotrexate tab but no cure well. I request you sir please give me medicine composition that I purchased anywhere.
Male | 25
You may have eczema. It makes your skin turn red, — it also spreads. What works for one person may not work for another so maybe you should try putting on some lotion that has ceramides or colloidal oatmeal in it to calm down the itching. Ask the dermatologist about methotrexate if it’s bad enough—but there are other things they could give instead like corticosteroids or phototherapy treatments too.

Sir/madam My chaild foot had heavy cracks what is the solution to this
Male | 9
It is important to keep your child’s feet clean and dry to prevent infection and cracking. A dermatologist or podiatrist can best determine and treat the condition. However, the best solution for cracked feet is to keep your feet hydrated and moisturized. This can be done by using lotions and creams specifically designed for cracked feet. You can also soak your feet in warm water with Epsom salts or other moisturizing oils such as olive oil or coconut oil.

I am a 23 year old girl I faced an ellaegy on my hands 2 Years ago Now it's fine but now I faced a fingerprint issue My fingerprints are not visible what I do now ?
Female | 23
The loss of finger ridges can occur for several reasons, including skin conditions, scarring, or genetics. Essential functions, such as gripping and tactile sensations, might still remain intact, but changes can be concerning. It’s wise to maintain hydration and skin health with moisturizers. However, I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with a dermatologist to better understand your situation and explore treatment options tailored to you.

If I have a wringworm and start putting blue star ointment on it 3 times a day but also put cortisone cream to soothe the itch will it cause the fungus to spread?
Female | 15
Using it together on a wringworm can actually make the fungus spread. It is recommended to only use antifungal medication to treat a wringworm, and consult a dermatologist for proper treatment.

Alcros 100 tablet ( night 1) And I started using this for 20 days no visible results . Is this medicine works ? Or I should consult other doctor ? Please help
Male | 38
Patchy hair loss like alopecia areata is a common condition. It may show up on any part of the body which is covered by hair. The prescribed medications are often utilized for the treatment of this condition; however, sometimes, the results may take longer to become visible. If you don't see improvement after 20 days, discuss it with your dermatologist. They could recommend alternative treatment methods to enable you to overcome this challenge.

My ureta and upper lips side red but no symptoms its dangerous ???
Female | 22
If your urethra and upper lip are red but you have no symptoms, then it isn't necessarily dangerous. However, the redness may sometimes occur on the skin due to the irritating action of soaps, lotions, and spicy foods. The area has to be protected from irritants while keeping it clean. If the symptoms do not go away, or you experience any discomfort, you should consult a dermatologist.

Male | Am 20 years
Itching can occur due to various reasons, such as dry skin, allergies, or insect bites. Common symptoms may include redness, swelling, or irritation. To alleviate discomfort, consider using gentle moisturizers, cool compresses, or over-the-counter antihistamines. Avoid scratching, as this can worsen the irritation. If the condition persists or worsens, it's important to see a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan. Remember, consulting a doctor ensures you receive the best care tailored to your needs.

Hi my daughter has a spot on her tummy and it's painful to touch and it's all red with little white spots around it
Female | 4
Your daughter most probably has a skin infection called Impetigo. A painful, red spot with white spots around it is a symptom of this illness. This is due to bacteria entering the skin, which usually happens when a cut or insect bite is present. To deal with this issue, keep the area clean, apply antibiotic cream, and cover it with a bandage. Make sure she doesn't scratch it to prevent spreading the infection.

Skin lip issues can arise from various factors such as dryness, irritation, or infections. Common symptoms include redness, swelling, and discomfort. To alleviate this, keep your skin hydrated using a gentle, nourishing moisturizer. An over-the-counter ointment containing ingredients like shea butter or lanolin may also help reduce symptoms. If the problem persists or worsens, please consult a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying conditions. Seeking expert advice is a positive step towards effective treatment and peace of mind.

I am 23 yrs old girl who is suffering from pcos , obesity . I have hair on my body as well as facial hairs . My weight is increasing. Please tell me how to control this facial hair growth without medicine This is my question I request you to please revert me the answer.
Female | 23
It sounds like you might be suffering from PCOS which is caused by hormonal disturbances. Excess body hair and obesity are the most typical signs. Unwanted hair on the chin and the upper lips may be a result of high levels of male hormones in your body. To manage hair growth without medication you could try gentle methods such as shaving, waxing, or threading. These will grant you temporary relief as the hair is removed.

I have mlasma and pigmentation on my face. I have used many products but it has not made any difference. Now my cheeks are turning red. Please tell me a solution for this. And this pigmentation was caused by pregnancy.
Female | 35
It sounds like you're experiencing melasma, a common condition often worsened by hormonal changes during pregnancy. This can result in dark patches and increased sensitivity, causing redness in your cheeks. I recommend consulting a dermatologist who can assess your skin and suggest effective treatments, such as prescription creams or gentle peels, tailored to your needs. In the meantime, using broad-spectrum sunscreen daily can help protect your skin.

Female | 72
Itching all over the body with rashes, dark patches, and pigmentation could be due to several reasons including allergies, skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis, and hormonal imbalances. I see you have used drugs but sometimes it is necessary for one to get a clear understanding for effective treatment. Therefore, I would advise that she gets referred to an expert such as an allergist or dermatologist who will conduct more tests maybe even skin biopsies or blood works so that they can be able to identify the cause exactly. After which they can then give her specific treatments meant for that condition which will help reduce the signs.

I have pimples and acne on my face I am 19 years old female I apply a gel on affected areas but it does not work
Female | 19 years
It’s usual to have pimples at your age, mainly due to hormonal interactions, stress, or skin type. If the gel you’re using isn’t effective, you might want to incorporate a gentle cleanser and a non-comedogenic moisturizer into your daily routine. Try not to squeeze your skin, as it can only make the situation worse. A balanced diet and enough fluid also bring about improvements. Still, locating the check of skin under coatings could necessarily need personalized therapy, so I would advise you to contact a dermatologist if it doesn’t get better.

i have some acne on my chin
Female | 13
Pimples often appear on the chin area when skin pores get blocked. Obstructed pores trap excess oil and dead cells. Red bumps, whiteheads, and blackheads form. Hormones, stress, and certain foods contribute. Gently wash your face twice daily. Don't squeeze pimples. Use benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid products. Eat nutritious foods, and drink adequate water. These steps can improve acne on your chin.

Hello, I’m 24 years old and would like to know if I have to be concerned using an aluminum based antiperspirant
Female | 24
It's natural to be anxious over the question of whether aluminum compounds used in antiperspirants are safe for your health. Some are jittery about the information they read which might suggest there is a health issue. However, the majority of studies confirm that there is no such evidence of the relationship between antiperspirants with aluminum and health risks. If you notice any itching, rash, or irritation, try switching to an aluminum-free option.
