I am a vegetarian and also anemic i have brown spots all over my back chest and neck i saw somewhere it said it’s because of low vitamin D but I want to make sure its not anything more serious

Answered on 23rd May '24
While low vitamin D or anemia might contribute to skin issues, other causes like sun exposure and skin conditions should be considered. A dermatologist can perform a thorough evaluation to identify the exact cause of the brown spots and provide appropriate treatment. In the meantime, maintain a balanced diet and protect your skin from excessive sun exposure.

I am a 18 year old male. I used my friends derma roller . And now I am anxious if I can get hiv from it although he doesn't have hiv. The roller was disinfected before I used it with spray alcohol.
Male | 18
It is safe to use a friend's derma roller after disinfection if it has been sprayed with alcohol. HIV is a sexual infection; sharing needles is one of the transmitter. A sterilized roller is thus no cause of fear or stress if someone else has got HIV. Such sterilized tools do not risk transmitting HIV.

Iam 28years old female Iam having small bumps in bikini area I want it to be treated
Female | 28
It looks like ingrown hairs in your bikini area might be what you are possibly struggling with. These little bumps occur when hair doubles back into the skin rather than growing out. They sometimes lead to redness, itching, or even pain. To assist in healing this, softly scrub the area, shun tight clothes, and think about warm compresses. If the problem persists, visit a dermatologist.

Mere hair Growth bhut slow go rhi h usko kase sahi kr sakte h
Male | 27
Slow hair growth is due to reasons such as lack of vitamins, demanding work, or hereditary influences. If you notice that your hair is no longer growing as fast as it used to, you should try eating a balanced diet full of vitamins and minerals, for example, vitamin D and iron. Besides, find some time for yourself to practice relaxation techniques to de-stress.

Hello dear doctor, I had an accident like 10 days ago, my leg got burnt because it touched the silencer, the burnt area turned completely white, and day after day, it released blood, yellow liquid, and its fresh everyday, its not even healing, im applying ointment called Quench, but it just dries over it and nothing is helping, I can't even walk, I really need help on what to do, should I apply any other ointment? Leave it open? Or what?
Male | 16
It seems that the burn is rather extensive and does not heal well. I would suggest early consultation with a dermatologist or burn specialist. Do not use any more cream and let the wound dry. It is essential to keep the wound well cleaned, dressed and treated. Seek medical help at the earliest.

Hello Doctor, Since last 7-8 days i have developed a boil like structure near the head of my penis. Now, since last 2-3 days there is pain and irritation while urinating. I had consulted one doctor yesterday. After taking random blood sugar test measuing 147 -he said circumcission is only option. I dont have issue with foreskin. it moves back comfortably and there is no pain while intercourse... This is the 1st time i have experienced this issue. Please guide what can be done...is there any alternate treatment.
Male | 38
The boil-like structure could be a symptom of an infection. Pain and irritation while urinating are the most frequent. These include antibiotics or antifungal creams to help with the infection. The area should be kept clean and dry for a quicker recovery process. Drink lots of water and do not use strong soaps on the wound.

For some reason my neck has become dark what could be the reason and how to get Rid of it
Male | 25
The condition of acanthosis nigricans is one of the diseases that often become, specifically, darker neck areas of the skin, if that is the case. This can easily occur in the case of mixed-bred factors such as obesity, insulin resistance, or hormonal disturbances. As a result of this, one should maintain a moderate weight, balanced diet, and physical activity. Visit a dermatologist for a detailed examination and proper advice.

Male | 16
Popped pimples can leave scars. These scars can make you feel unhappy. Pimple scars show up when popped or picked. To help with these scars, try using creams or oils with ingredients that fade scars. However, remember it might take time for scars to disappear completely.

My baby 1 year old. She after birth some places are reddish colour . It's allergy. I change soap Cetaphil , but she body was allergy
Female | 1
Your child may have a skin condition called eczema, which affects only a limited number of children. Eczema can sometimes be accompanied by irritation, redness, and itching of the skin. It's quite common in infants. Changing the soap that is used could be a solution, but that is not always the case. Use a mild moisturizer that is not perfumed and avoid harsh soaps from your baby's routine. However, the problem continues, it is wiser to see a dermatologist for guidance.

Hi , i am 31 years old.since one week i have a fever blister on right side of upper lip .now that blister cause a wound that is so painful and i feel heat in that wound also itching on sides of wound.can i apply acyclovir on that wound
Female | 31
You may be dealing with a cold sore that’s popped up on your top lip, making it hurt and itch. That’s probably because of a virus called herpes simplex. Acyclovir is a good choice for getting some relief from this. Just use it like they tell you to. Doing this can help you heal better faster and help lessen the signs and symptoms.

Male | 16
According to what you mentioned, you may have developed cheek pain without any redness or feeling cold. This can a condition known as trigeminal neuralgia which causes sudden and severe facial pains. Make sure you rest, use warm moist clothes on your face then take over-the-counter painkillers. However, if it does not improve or gets worse then you need to see a doctor for further advice.

Hello I have nose Whitehead
Male | 25
It is typical for the nose to have whiteheads. These are the things that we, the people, call tiny white spots and that are the result of oil and dead skin cells that have clogged pores. Might be you just have oily skin or acne. Whereas a gentle cleanser will be enough to remove dirt from your face when you wash your face twice a day. Do not squeeze out the whiteheads to avoid infection. Non-comedogenic products should be used, and you may visit a dermatologist for more recommendations.

I am 19 years old and I have a sore on my frenulum on my penis, I discovered it when last hard sex because I was feeling the pain and sometimes the pain is also on the on the corona of glans and the neck of glans
Male | 19
It seems like you might be having a sore on your penis in the frenulum, corona of the glans, or neck of the glans. This can result from irritation or small injuries caused by rough sex. One thing you cannot ignore is to give it some rest and not engage in sexual activity for a while. Keeping the afflicted area clean and dry will speed up its recovery. If the problem doesn't subside, and you are concerned about it, then the best thing would be to have it examined by a dermatologist.

I am taking medicine regarding skin allergy or I want to ask that I am also doing workout and hence I am also taking creatine, can I take medicine after that or not?
Male | 18
Be mindful when taking your medicine. If you're using creatine for muscle building while treating a skin allergy, timing is important. Some medications may interact with creatine or affect your workout. To be safe, ask your dermatologist if your skin allergy medicine will interfere with your creatine use.

I think my belly button piercing is infected
Female | 16
If your belly button piercing appears to be infected, the signs may include redness, pain, heat, swelling, or pus discharge. You can get an infection if you fail to clean your piercing well or you touch it with dirty hands. To assist this, gently clean it with saline solution and avoid using harsh products on the area. Also, do not remove any jewelry from inside the piercing until advised otherwise by a professional. Visit a dermatologist if there is no improvement.

I applied undiluted dettol on my face [acne region (cheek and forehead) as it was bleeding] and forgot to wash it off. This later burnt my skin and now two months later theres a brownish patch which I am unable to get rid of regardless of how many scars removal cream and depigmenting creams I have used. Please help me recognise the problem with a solution for the same. Thank you.
Female | 16
Undiluted Dettol is said to cause burns and dark patches on the skin, especially the sensitive area of the face. The brownish skin spot that you have may be the result of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. To discolor the patch, avoid sun exposure by applying sunscreen, and think about visiting a dermatologist for chemical peels or laser therapy treatment.

A few days ago I noticed a bump on my head and I thought I just hit my head. After a couple days it started to get a bit bigger and I noticed that it was a pimple on my scalp. I popped the pimple and removed all the pus and it started to bleed for a little bit but it shortly went away. I went to take a look at it today and I noticed a small circular bald spot about 1 cm in diameter where the pimple used to be. When touching the area with my hand I noticed that the hair in that area is really sensitive and can fall out if I rummage my hand through that area. Is this a concern or is this something normal?
Male | 21
A small circular bald spot on the scalp after popping a pimple is not uncommon, but if the area is sensitive and hair is falling out, please see a dermatologist to rule out infection or other underlying conditions.

Treatment for razor bumps in bikini area, have used ketoconazole cream for it but still no result would love the assistance of a dermatologist here to help out with the treatment
Female | 21
Razor bumps in the bikini area are a common cause for concern. Injuries to follicles that occur through shaving are usually behind these bumps. They are typically red, itchy, and with small bumps. When ketoconazole cream does not help, another alternative is the use of a mild hydrocortisone cream that can help to control inflammation. Put on some lotion to the part all the time so it stays moisturized.

I got pad rash (red puss bumps on my buttocks) almost 15 days ago after which the pain decresed but it left white pimple like spots on my buttocks and for the pad rash i took candid cream and augmentin 625, currently i have tinea cruris for which iam taking kenz cream and itaspor 100 mg, can you please tell me what should i apply for white spots. can i continue the tinea cruris cream on the same spot
Female | 23
Don't worry the white patches will recover. They are post inflammatory hypopigmentation. Complete it as per course of a month and local cream for a month, so that reoccurrence is avoided. Other days apply Absorb powder to reduce sweating and secondary infection. For more information visit best dermatologist in India

I am 28 yr old female and suffering from extreme dry skin on body and face. Plus dullness, acne and dark spot occurred recurrent on face.
Female | 28
Acne, dullness, and dark spots can be annoying on the dry face. These symptoms may be a result of different factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, or environmental influences. To make your skin better use soft soap for washing, cream for moisturizing and every day wear sunscreen. Moreover keeping to healthy eating habits, drinking enough water and stress control can have a positive impact onto skin. If this doesn't help, visit a dermatologist.
