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

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.

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.

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.

Hello, for last 4 days i feel pain in cheeks,but they are not red and i didnt had cold or been sick for long time.the pain is really anoying i dont know what to do,i was thinking its sinusitis but i dont have the simptoms i cant go to doctor i have family probems. here is example img: https://ibb.co/ysn4Ymv

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.

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.
