For normal sensitive skin requires a sunscreen that has a broad spectrum with at least SPF level 30.

My daughter is facing a lot of hairfall for a long time

Female | 14

The primary indicator is a loss of hair at a rate higher than normal. This can be attributed to factors such as stress, unhealthy eating, or hormonal changes. Urge her to eat a balanced diet, avoid stress, and apply only mild hair products. If the situation remains unchanged, get a consultation from a dermatologist.

I have iron deficinicy.. my iron serum is 23. I have pigmentation on my face. I have treat my pigmentation by microneddling and prp. But i hv still dark spots on my face. When my iron deficency will be better then my skin will be clear or not???

Female | 36

The appearance of pigmentation on the face is a result of iron deficiency but not the only case. In case you still have dark spots after microneedling and PRP, make sure you consult a dermatologist. Improving iron status as a part of skin care may add to pigmentation treatment, but the key is not there.

I am 25 years old Female and 6 weeks pregnant at the moment. i am suffering from an infection in my vulva and pubic hair region since 7 years now. It’s something like whitish and cheesy substance in the vulva and blackish dirt like in other remaining hairy region. I scratch it everyday before bathing but it keeps coming back within hours. What should I do?

Female | 25

Hey there! It might be a yeast infection, or perhaps it is a fungal infection in the vulva and pubic hair area as well. The whitish and cheesy substance in the vulva and blackish dirt in the pubic hair region are common symptoms. Yeast infections can be caused by moisture, poor hygiene, or taking antibiotics. The area should be kept clean and dry, wearing cotton underwear, avoiding harsh soaps, and not scratching it to prevent further irritation from the above. Over-the-counter antifungal creams might work but you can also consult a dermatologist.

I am facing hair loss problem from 1 year. I have lot of dandruff in scalp like scalp fungus and also I'm under stress. My question is can i regrow hairs?

Male | 22

Hair loss can be caused by stress, scalp fungus, and dandruff, which create an unhealthy environment for hair growth. To improve scalp health and reduce hair loss, try natural remedies. Use mild shampoos for dandruff, manage stress with relaxation techniques, and consult a dermatologist for scalp fungus. With the right treatment, you may notice your hair starting to regrow.

These can arise from infection, irritation, or inadequate healing. For mild problems, topical creams may help soothe the area, while oral tablets can assist in managing pain or inflammation. It’s crucial to keep the wound clean and protected. However, if you observe worsening symptoms or if the wound does not improve, I recommend consulting a dermatologist. They can provide a thorough evaluation and tailored treatment to ensure optimal healing.

Female | 23

You may have a yeast infection. It can be responsible for such problems as itching, redness, and sometimes a thick discharge. Antibiotics, tight clothing, or a weakened immune system can be blamed for yeast infections. You can buy antifungal creams over-the-counter can ease the itching and help you get rid of the infection. You should be wearing only cotton underwear and avoiding those products with scents to ensure you are not further irritating the area.

Does this look like tick bite

Male | 25

It’s understandable to be concerned about a possible insect bite. Symptoms like a small red bump, swelling, or a rash could suggest a tick bite. These bites often occur in wooded areas, and some ticks can transmit diseases. It's vital to monitor for signs such as fever, fatigue, or a distinctive bullseye rash, which may require medical attention. If you suspect a tick bite, remove the tick carefully with tweezers and seek guidance from a doctor for assessment and treatment.

Mam My penis has been burning since last night. I had put an insecticide in my pocket and scratched myself. It was fine for the whole day. The burning sensation started at night.

Male | 22

It sounds like you may be experiencing a reaction to the insecticide, especially if you scratched the area. Symptoms like burning can occur due to skin irritation or an allergic response. I recommend rinsing the affected area gently with lukewarm water and using a mild soap. Applying a soothing cream may help alleviate discomfort. However, if the burning persists, or worsens, or if you notice any unusual changes, it's important to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation. They can provide appropriate treatment and ensure there are no serious underlying issues.

Male | 33

The condition you have is called thrush. Thrush manifests through an itching, the formation of white shiny patches on the penis. It is generally produced by a fungus named Candida. A suggestion is to use a specific ointment that you can buy from the pharmacy. Keep the area dry and clean. If the symptoms are not getting better, visit a dermatologist.

Feeling itching on Back of my palm and fingers during midnight between 2 to 5am . Unable to sleep because of that .

Male | 43

This may happen due to many reasons, such as dry skin, eczema or allergies and contact dermatitis. Itch sensations may also be heightened at night due to the natural circadian rhythm of the body. It is advised to apply a hypoallergenic moisturizer before going to bed, which can mitigate symptoms of dry skin. It is possible to manage allergic reactions by identifying potential triggers such as certain soaps or fabrics and avoiding them. If chronic or aggravating, it is so recommended to consult a dermatologist for an in-depth evaluation and tailored treatment options targeting the true cause of nighttime scratch.

Male | 35

You seem to have eczema, a common skin issue. It causes itchy red rashes resembling pimples everywhere. Things like allergies, dry skin, or stress can trigger eczema's flare-ups. Gently cleansing with fragrance-free products and moisturizing regularly may soothe these rashes. However, scratching affected areas risks infection, so avoid that.

I'm 28 years and suffering from PCOD. I have thick hair in chin, neck and chest. I usually use the epilator to remove the hairs but after 7-10 days, it regrows back. Can you please suggest ways to rid of it permanently?

Female | 28

• Polycystic Ovary Disease (PCOD) is caused due to production of immature or partially mature eggs by the ovaries in response to poor lifestyle, obesity, stress and hormonal balance.

• Excessive hair growth in the face, chest and back is associated with imbalance in the male hormone called Testosterone. Other symptoms associated include menstrual irregularity, acne, obesity and insulin resistance.

• Treating the underlying condition which is PCOD will help you get rid of the excessive hair growth.

• Medicine such as Clomifene is recommended for treatment as it encourages monthly release of egg from the ovaries and Metformin is prescribed to reduce the insulin resistance.

Lifestyle changes include:

Dietary Changes –

 Optimum diet includes a range of foods from many food categories, including healthy carbohydrates like vegetables and fruits, lean meats like chicken, fish, and high fibre grains.

 Foods with a low glycemic index enable the body to release insulin slowly and gradually, allowing your body to utilise food as energy rather than store it as fat. Fiber-rich foods also aid with blood sugar regulation.

 Avoid refined carbohydrates, which are found in processed meals such as white flour, rice, potatoes, and sugar. Sugary beverages, such as soda and juice, should also be avoided.

Maintain Healthy weight –

 Weight loss should be about half to 1 kg per week for 6 months, with the other method based on the amount of weight lost.

 Avoid crash diets since they deprive your body of essential vitamins, carbs, proteins, and minerals.

 When you go on a crash diet, your body will actually destroy muscle tissue to supply enough energy for your brain to operate.

Exercise regularly –

 Aids in the fight against obesity by burning calories and increasing muscle mass, both of which reduce insulin resistance. Exercise can also help decrease cholesterol and other hormone levels, such as testosterone.

 Physical activity is also vital. Moderate amounts of physical exercise for 30 to 45 minutes per day, 3 to 5 days per week, should be encouraged at first.

Consult your Gynecologists for starting with your treatment and take the aid of a nutritionist in order to design a customized diet plan.

About my skin.. there's some spots appeared lately. Sometimes its itchy . But sometimes not. But its spreading anf feels rough

Female | Hannah mae llamas

It's understandable to feel concerned about new skin changes. The spots you're experiencing, coupled with itchiness, could stem from various causes, including allergies, eczema, or even fungal infections. Observing any patterns, such as triggers or specific locations, can be helpful. To manage this, keep the area clean and moisturized, and consider using a gentle, fragrance-free lotion. However, given the spreading nature and texture changes, I recommend consulting a dermatologist for a thorough examination and tailored treatment.
