Why Am I Getting Stretch Marks on My Lower Belly as a Teenager?
I am getting stretch marks on my lower belly and I am not pregnant as well. I am a teenager. What may be the cause of it?

Answered on 23rd May '24
The body can be affected by stretch marks during its rapid growth or weight gain, and this is common during teenage. It may occur as a consequence of hormonal shifts too. Still, seeking advice from a dermatologist would be the best option to make an accurate diagnosis and determine the right treatment.

Mam mere face PE nose ke left side mole h kya wo hataya ja skta h
Female | 24
Getting moles on your face is pretty common. If the place of the growth is painful or bleeds, it is then time to visit a dermatologist. The excision of a mole is an easy procedure done by an expert to prevent possible issues in the future.

It seems like you are facing skin burn. This might be the sign of various disorders like eczema, psoriasis or skin infection. I recommend that you go see a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment plan.

I had very active warts on my mouth and I got pRP with micro Needling. And I have taken two sessions of this .But I did not notice any difference in it. Can you tell me after how many months does the result of Micro Medlining with PRT appear properly on the face?
Female | 22
You have been using PRP with micro-needling on your active warts on the mouth but have not seen any results yet. Warts are often obstinate and require a long time to disappear. Generally speaking, the treatment can take up to 6 months of regular sessions to begin showing results. Keep going to your sessions and be patient. If you don't see improvement after a few more sessions, talk to a dermatologist.

Got a human bite during a fight. It has made 5 bruise marks of teeth. Wanted to ask if tetanus injection is required
Male | 14
Getting a human bite might seem harmless, but it requires care. Five teeth bruise marks signal potential tetanus risk. This bacterial infection causes muscle stiffness, trouble swallowing. Don't delay consulting your doctor if bitten. They'll likely recommend a tetanus shot as preventive measure.

Itching and tingling sensations can have many causes. For example, dry skin, allergies, and insect bites. First, try moisturizing well. If no relief, anti-itch creams may help. However, if symptoms don't improve or worsen, see a dermatologist. It's wise to monitor persistent or worsening itching and tingling.

Hello I have been having a skin infection of something that looks like ringworm. It starts like a pimple and later widens into different sizes. It started appearing on my thighs and is now appearing on every other part of my body except my face and scalp. There are moments when my skin is void of any but on other periods it appears almost every where with a lot on my fingers and palms. It's been on and off for more than 10 years now. I've consulted several dematologist with each having a different diagnosis and prescribing different creams to be applied on the affected spots but those have not helped me in any way. I truly do not know what else to do. Please help.
Female | 27
Ringworms often spread and return if not treated well. Fungal infections love warm, damp body areas. Antifungal creams don't always work for severe and stubborn infections. I suggest seeing an experienced dermatologist. They can evaluate your unique condition much better and recommend medications or other treatments suitable for this.

I have itching in my hand and leg please prescribe some medicine for the same
Male | 62
Itching can be caused by various factors, including allergies, irritations, or skin conditions. It’s important to identify the root cause for effective treatment. Over-the-counter antihistamines may provide temporary relief, but they are not a substitute for professional evaluation. To soothe the affected areas, try applying a cool compress or a fragrance-free moisturizer to reduce irritation. However, if the discomfort persists or worsens, please consider scheduling a visit with a dermatologist. They can offer a precise diagnosis and appropriate treatment options tailored to your specific needs.

My daughter is 10 year old and she got allergic it's like water ball it's spreading on legs so what is the best treatment for that.
Female | 10
Your daughter may have red hives, itching, and raised bumps on the skin. Often hives are elevated because of allergens like the diverse range of food, insects, or specified materials. Antihistamine drugs such as Benadryl can be used to help relieve the symptoms of itching and swelling. Check again to ensure no food or other substances have caused the allergy, and if it spreads or worsens, seek medical attention.

My Son age is 19 years old and is undergoing vitiligo treatment.. No improvement in the white spots. Is there any advance treatment to avoid growth of white spots..? and reduce white spots Pl suggest
Male | 19
Vitiligo is a condition that involves a decrease in pigmentation. Modern treatments can minimize the spots, for example, by using phototherapy, topical corticosteroids, or skin grafts. It is important to take care of the possible triggers exacerbating your son's vitiligo. Exposure to sunlight and stress factors can aggravate the disorder, so ensure your son is protected from the sun and help him manage stress. Dermatologist visits have to be performed regularly which is very important to check the treatment progress and to decide on more advanced therapies if needed.

As asked earlier that can I exercise if having fungal infection, but now my q is after 1 month of medication my fungal infection is recovered, but due to long use of medicines , stretch marks are visible so now can I exercise..?
Male | 17
It is usual for scars to show up when you are on medication for a long time. Now that the infection is gone, you can begin working out, but you need to take it easy. Stretch marks usually disappear on their own, but applying moisturizer to your skin can help. Always keep in mind that it is your body that will determine the limits, and in case of any pain or discomfort, stop.

Please I've been over sweating this past week, I don't know why. I sweat a lot in sunny conditions, but this time it's soo much worse I don't know why. My height is 5 feet 5 and my weight is 90kg. Please what do you think the problem is?
Female | 22
Hyperhidrosis may be warned by profuse sweating, specially in sunny days. But one must rule out any underlying medical condition such as thyroid or inflammatory disease. I advise you to visit a dermatologist for assessment and diagnosis. They can offer treatments and guidance on the condition’s management.

Random pink lump appeared on pubic area
Male | 18
A random pink lump adjacent to the pubic area could be an ingrown hair or a cyst. It would be wise to have it checked out by a dermatologist or a gynecologist to rule out any other disorders.

My brother's Pranav is suffering from heavy hairfall . He is losing his hair at both sides. He is giving his jee mains exam ,so stress is obvious..Also his diet is home cooked food only. Please suggest what to do..Because at early age, he is feeling under confident for hairloss
Male | 18
It's understandable to feel concerned about hair loss, especially during stressful periods. Factors such as stress, nutritional deficiencies, or hormonal changes can contribute to this issue. Encourage your brother to maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, particularly those that promote hair health like biotin, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids. Practices such as regular exercise, adequate sleep, and mindfulness techniques can also help manage stress. While these steps may be beneficial, it's important to seek guidance from a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized recommendations.

I have this white patches like something in my inner thighs. Like near my private part. It's not very smooth but kind of smooth and itchy. It seems like it's spreading
Female | 19
The symptoms are smooth, white patches, as well as itchy. It is caused by a yeast growing on the skin. For that reason, you can get medicine that is not prescribed that eradicates fungi on the skin. Keep the place clean and dry. Try not to share personal items with other people. Make sure the area is kept clean so as not to cause an infection to others.

I have having vitiligo from past 9-10 years , after huge medications like needling , UV rays etc I can remember all, now I am using these medications: MELBILD LOTION (IN SUNRAYS FOR 5MINUTES : 2 TIMES A DAY ) , TAKING me 12 od one time , and applying TACROZ FORTE APPLYING ON SCAR , I AM HAVING SEDIMENTAL VITILIGO ON UPPER LIPS AND DOWN THE NOSE, SO CAN U SUGGEST SHOULD I CONTINUE THE TREATMENT OR SOMETHING ELSE * ASLO THAT I AM GETTING white hairs on it so is there any cure of it and also mention that I am using these medications from last 6 months
Male | 17
Vitiligo is a skin condition in which white patches appear on your skin due to the loss of pigment cells. You are applying Melbild lotion and Tacroz Forte, which can contribute to the pigmentation process on your skin. If you are not seeing any improvements after 6 months, you should probably consider discussing other treatment options with your dermatologist. Unfortunately, there is no remedy for white hair, but you can try using hair dyes to cover them up.

Does wound sting if you put a NaCL?
Female | 18
If you put salt (NaCl) on a cut it may hurt a bit. The reason for this is that salt is able to kill germs. Therefore if you rub salt in a wound it will only be painful temporarily. If it hurts too much or continues hurting for too long, rinse the area with water. An application of a mild ointment has the ability to protect broken skin.

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.
