Vitamin B12 and vitamin D deficiency lead to hair loss. It is advised that you see a dermatologist and an endocrinologist for a thorough examination and treatment.

I have like this tiny multiple lumps that looks like warts but it isn't...im guessing them to be external hemorrhoids but its not connected into the anal...the location of those lumps are not too far away from the anal. I would like to know what disease it this and how to cure it.

The little bumps you are describing could be harmless skin conditions such as warts or other skin overgrowths, rather than hemorrhoids, especially if they are not located near the butt. These actually thrive from several causes, e.g., friction or irritation. Often, they are benign and may not affect health much, but it’s crucial to keep an eye on any changes. Washing and not rubbing as ways to alleviate symptoms would help. I suggest that you consult a dermatologist to give you an accurate diagnosis and suggest suitable therapies for treatment.

Hi ..i am 30 yr old girl and unmarried .I have acne breakouts in my face and back ..its so painful and sometime it turns white and give blood from that without touching too .i tried lot of home remedy solutions but still breakout doesn't goes away .
Female | 30
Acne management is a comprehensive approach. That acquires removing of oil using proper facewash, containing salicylic acid, or lactic acid, then avoiding oiling of the scalpels and using tropicals containing cleaner and antibiotics and if hormonal imbalances there, that has to be corrected. So please visit our nearest dermatologist for the same.

My toe nails are changing to a yellow color..also I have skin peeling between my toes and it hurts very much.. can you prescribe me anything for it..I'm guessing it's athletes feet and toe nails fungus
Female | 40
Your symptoms sound like athlete’s foot and toenail fungus. An athlete’s foot can cause your nails to turn yellow, make the skin on your feet peel off, and make your toes hurt. The fungus that leads to athlete’s foot loves warm, damp areas – like sweaty feet. You can use over-the-counter antifungal creams on your skin and nails to treat it. Also, try to keep your feet clean and dry so they are less appealing to the fungus.

Red rases in my face nd it’s itching. And itching in my scalp nd hair white issue
Male | 24
It seems that dandruff might be one of the conditions. The main symptom of dandruff is itching, and white particles of skin can be seen on hair. Sometimes, this condition might also produce red patches on the face, especially around the hairline area. The pathogen fungi on your scalp cause dandruff. For example, choose a shampoo that is specifically designed for dandruff. In particular, washing hair regularly along with the stress management procedure may also be beneficial for you.

I am 20 years old. I using the steroids cream in long years. I cant stop now. How to stop it?
Female | 20
Long-term use of this steroid cream should be undergone with caution because it may result in some negative effects e.g. skin thinning and/or infections. The use of the cream should be halted gradually. Cutting the dose of the cream immediately may lead to the onset of the withdrawal symptoms. This calls for consulting a dermatologist.

on Saturday morning I bought some trousers from a second-hand market, and I tried them on there at the market after about 6 hours I noticed some red bumps that scratched my lower leg, there are about 8 red bumps of about 1 cm on the whole leg
Male | 15
Redness and bumps appeared on your leg. It seems like an allergic reaction to materials in those trousers. The red marks could be hives or dermatitis from contact. Wash with gentle soap and water. Cool compresses reduce irritation and swelling. If itchy, antihistamines provide relief. However, if symptoms worsen instead of improving, visit a dermatologist for proper treatment

If the marks are just pigmentation-like, they will be corrected in due course of time with the combination of steroids and antibiotics in tropical form, and if it is a depression or scar that has to be addressed with lasers.

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.

I am 21 year old female and I have these 3 squishy lumps, they moveable and spongy and painless and they look and feel like they have some fluid or pus in them but they don't leak , they on my labia majora and I'm worried over what they are. I have had them for 5 years.
Female | 21
Nevertheless, the most likely cause of their appearance is benign cysts either sebaceous or epidermoid types, with them often containing fluid or tissue. This kind of cyst is usually painless and doesn’t usually require any treatment as long as they don’t cause unpleasant symptoms. However, given that they have been around for five years, you should talk to a dermatologist who will carry out a comprehensive check-up.

a girl who is 7 years old I also have skin and viral infection in leg.
Female | 7
A skin infection likely caused by a virus is probably what you have on your leg. These skin infections may appear in the form of redness, swelling, and sometimes, pain. They can get diffused from a person to a person by contact. A gleaming, gentle antiseptic cloth, however, along with some timely rest brings an enhanced quality of life. In addition, you would want to think about not scratching the area as the infection may diffuse. The point to be noted is if the symptoms are remaining or getting worse, it would be better if you consult a doctor.

Female | 21
The appearance of dark spots is due to a certain part of the skin producing excessive pigmentation. Except to stop vitamin C and products like La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo from helping, one those treatments can be the chemical peels and laser therapy. Remember to protect your skin from the sun to avoid these dark spots getting darker. Visit a dermatologist who can provide you with more personalized advice.

I have problem in my penis frenulum cells breaks
Male | 27
You could be suffering from frenulum breve, which is a scenario where the skin under the penis head is too tight. The frenulum may thus tear or break as a result of sex or even masturbation in such a situation. This injury may be painful, or it may cause bleeding and, sometimes, it may make it hard for the foreskin to be retracted. Persuadables such as gentle stretching exercises or circumcision become apt solutions here. However, in the process of stretching, you have to be extra careful not to cause more harm, and in case of any complications, do not hesitate to seek professional medical help from a dermatologist.

Nevertheless, you need to confer with a dermatologist if you are going to opt for a skin cream and the specialist can guide you with a better treatment plan that is unique to your type of skin and the extent of your scars.

Fungal infection not cure for long time after taking medicine, frequently occurr on skin on butt side
Female | 32
Fungal infections can make your skin red, itch, and sometimes hurt. These infections usually like to grow in warm and moist places, so butt skin can be the common spot. To help mop it up, keep the area clean and dry, wear loose clothes, and apply antifungal creams or powders that the pharmacist recommends. To get it if it still comes back, you may need a stronger prescription from the doctor to get rid of it.
