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.

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.

Face acne can be addressed with over-the-counter topical remedies containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, and prescription medicines such as topical retinoids or oral antibiotics. It is recommended to visit a dermatologist who deals with skin diseases, so as to find out the best treatment for the type of acne you have.

My son is 3 years old he got hurt by beds corner on his forehead very badly on November which left very bad mark on his face i am applying scardin cream but is not that effective pls suggest what should I do

Male | 3

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.

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.

I have acne scars which topical creams are best to use

Male | 24

Topical creams having retinoids, glycolic acid, and vitamin C are quite helpful in fading away the appearance of the scars. 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.
