Can dark and scaly marks on the penis be from masturbation?
I am an 18 year old male who has had a red mark, presumably from masturbation on my penis for the last couple of years. It hasn’t changed but I’ve persisted masturbation so maybe that’s why. The color of my skin there is dark so the mark looks reddish-pink and the skin is a bit scaly and dry but it does not hurt or bleed. I don’t know if it’s friction burn or something else.

It seems that what you are going through may likely be hyperpigmentation from inflammation. This could be caused by constant rubbing during the time you are masturbating which can result in rough, scaly skin that will be red or pink in color. Keeping the area clean, protected, and well moisturized is important. Using a mild, scentless moisturizer is a great way to start. Whether the symptoms persist or get more severe, it's worth making an appointment with a dermatologist so they can give you proper advice.

Hi i have xanthelasma marks on upper eye lid, is it possible to get rid off and max how many sitting are required
Female | 27
Xanthelasma - those small yellow spots appearing on eyelids. Not dangerous, just annoying. Blame it on high cholesterol levels. To get rid of them, a dermatologist can remove xanthelasma using lasers or freezing treatments. The number of sessions depends on how bad those pesky marks are. But before anything, talk to a dermatologist about the best way to treat your xanthelasma.

Hi sir I'm from Aurangabad sir I have a hypertrophic scar in my hands I have do laser CO2 fractional laser in this scar bt no improvement please tell me treatment for this scar
Female | 20
Hypertrophic scars are bumpy in nature due to excess scar tissue production and abnormal wound healing post any injury or cut. The choice of treatment would be intralesional Triamcinolone acetonide injections into the scar at 3-4weekly intervals. This may be helpful in reducing the bumpiness of the scar. It is done by a dermatologist. Concentration of the injection is decided by the Dermatologist depending on the how tough the scar is. For Consultation please visit dermatologist near you.

Is it possible that due to iron deficiency my front side of neck is turning black and patchy all of a sudden.
Female | 48
Iron deficiency may cause iron deficiency anemia. Pale skin is a result. But black or patchy areas on the neck's front might signal something else. A medical professional should diagnose and treat correctly. Discuss symptoms with a dermatologist for proper guidance.

I have milia under my eyes around 10 Can you please suggest any cream with less side effects Can you please suggest skin care routine I have oily skin and minute pores
Female | 20
Milia are tiny white bumps under the eyes, looking like cysts. Don't fret! These often disappear without action. Try a gentle exfoliating cream, containing glycolic acid or retinol. Keep skin is clean, and moisturized. For oily complexions, use lightweight, oil-free moisturizers. Avoid squeezing or picking milia.

I have a dog bite wound that happened on January 20 2024 and it has .rash around the bite
Female | 43
A dog bite wound can get infected. The rash around your January 20th bite is worrying. Redness, warmth, swelling, and pain signal infection. Dog mouths hold bacteria that enter wounds. Cleaning and covering the wound matters. But if the rash worsens or the fever develops, see a dermatologist promptly. Infections require medical treatment to heal properly.

Male | 28
Skin reactions are possible after using products. Allergies often lead to reddish bumps appearing. Even when stopping the cream's use, bumps can linger. Keep your skin moisturized and clean during this time. If symptoms persist or worsen, consulting a dermatologist provides valuable guidance.

Very Itching scalpe, dandruff problem, hair fall issue
Female | 25
The combination of these symptoms might direct that you have a commonly occurring skin problem called seborrheic dermatitis. Health deterioration may result in the appearance of red, irritated skin, flaking of the skin, and hair loss. The chief drivers of these are oily skin, a yeast type that is a natural inhabitant of the skin, and hormones. Moreover, you can use dandruff shampoo that contains ketoconazole or coal tar. When you are bathing, don't go hard on your hair and make sure you don't sunlight your scalp because it can result in difficult and painful inflammation.

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 have acne on my right side of cheek since 5 years.And sometimes pimple also occur in that acne every now and then.It has also become bigger since 2 weeks . Please help me out.
Female | 24
If you are having recurrent acne this is probably due to the hormonal fluctuation which results into increased oily skin on the face, the scalp, chest and there are few things that has to be taken care. One thing not to apply hair oil, avoid having dandruff or use anti-dandruff shampoos weekly on the scalp, using face washes that have salicylic acid or glycolic acid. Avoid using thick greasy moisturizers or cream on the face. Use only creams that are gel based or water based. Drink plenty of water, avoid fat or cheesy diet, exercise 10-15 mins of the day. Topical steroids have to be avoided. Topical antibiotics like Clindamycin are useful. Oral Antibiotics or retinoids are advised. Even some patients require peeling sessions. A proper consultation with dermatologist is more helpful.

Hello I'm lakshita and I'm 18 years old.. I'm facing small rashes inside my vaginal lips and a bit swelling on it.. I consulted doc and she gave me permethrin cream but it didn't give me results.. can you please suggest me some medication
Female | 18
Yeast infection or allergic reaction can be the reason for small rashes and swelling inside your vaginal lips. If the permethrin cream wasn't effective, you might need to try a different treatment such as an antifungal cream or oral medication. Make it a point to keep it clean and dry. Drinking enough water can also help. If the symptoms don't go away, see your dermatologist again.

I am 21 years old and I have na itchy skin,I googled and saw that it's called hives since when it's itchy and I scratch I'm left with this things I googled called hives,it also comes with lip swell, there's a certain doctor who told me not to use medicine with sulphur and I stop using body lotions but I'm still suffering .what might be the problem and what can you recommend I use to end it.
Female | 21
You might have hives, which can be itchy skin and even swelling on your lips. Hives can be caused by different reasons such as allergies, stress, or infections. It is great that you have completely stopped using sulfur-containing products. Attempt to 'take an over-the-counter antihistamine' like diphenhydramine for help with itching and swelling. Besides, try to understand and avoid what could be the cause of your hives. If the issue persists, it is best to visit a dermatologist.

I am facing acne issues in face and they are leaving marks as well on face.
Female | 28
Many people deal with acne. These are small red pimples that appear on the face. Sometimes these pimples go away but leave behind ugly marks. They happen when oil mixes with dead skin cells and blocks the tiny holes in your skin. To avoid this, cleanse your face every day using mild soap, and don’t squeeze the spots. Additionally, you may want to seek help from a skin specialist who can offer more guidance.

Female | 22
When treating pimples, it's better to avoid chewing medicines that are meant to be swallowed. Chewing them may reduce their effectiveness, as the medicine works best when taken as directed. Topical treatments prescribed by a doctor may work better. Keep your face clean, avoid touching or picking at pimples, and follow a healthy skincare routine for the best results.
