How to Eliminate Fungal Infection Permanently?
I am suffering from fungal infection since last 6 months. I got relief for few days from the cream which I had bought from the chemist shop. Then this work is done properly. I asked a doctor and took Fluconazole medicine for two-four days, it did not make much difference, still it is itching a lot, so please suggest me some cream or medicine which can help in this problem. The problem should be eliminated from its roots

Some over the counter creams can ease the pain temporarily, they are usually not persistent enough to eradicate the infection. You should visit a dermatologist they will be able to diagnose the particular fungi and prescribe medication like antifungal creams or oral medication such as terbinafine and itraconazole.

My name is Shankar Dayal Gupta I am 55 years old. For the past four-five months there is something round like a ulcer on the left side of my mouth. The area in which it occurred That place got tight and I am not feeling any pain and I am not facing any problem in eating.But I am very tensed after seeing the ulcer I don't understand anything what happened
Male | 55
The round ulcer on the left side of your mouth might be due to a lot of reasons, like biting your cheek accidentally or a viral infection. Since you are not feeling any pain or eating difficulty, it seems to be a minor issue. You can try swishing your mouth with warm salt water or avoiding spicy and hot foods for a couple of days and see if it helps. If it doesn't go away after a week or two, it's best to have it checked by a dentist to be safe.

Hi I am a 16 year old male. I have had these 2 bumps on my foreskin I’m just wondering if it is penile cancer. They are whiteish. It doesn’t cause pain or bleeding or anything until a few days ago when I tried to one of them.
Male | 16
Those bumps on your foreskin might be Fordyce spots, not cancer. Fordyce spots are small, whitish-yellow bumps that sometimes show up on genitals. They're harmless, common, and usually painless. You shouldn't pick or pop them. If you're worried, talk to a dermatologist to get checked out. But chances are, it's nothing serious.

I am 25 year old female. And i have bumps looks like wartz on vagina since 2 weeks. Kindly tell me how to cure
Female | 25
The symptoms you are describing may be caused by genital warts which are due to HPV (human papillomavirus). A doctor can get rid of these warts by prescribing medications or doing minor procedures. Safer ways would be not to touch them and instead stick to safe sex with condoms. It's crucial to visit a dermatologist for the right diagnosis and therapy.

Mere scalp me 1yrs se papdi padh rhi hai aur Mein selsun shampoo lagati Hu but Kuch asar nhi hai to Kya lagaya
Female | 15
This could be seborrheic dermatitis, a condition causing red, flaky patches. Regular dandruff shampoos may not cut it here. Try using a medicated shampoo with ketoconazole or coal tar instead. If that pesky rash sticks around, it's smart to chat with a dermatologist. They can properly check it out and suggest treatments to make that rash hit the road.

I have black neck from a very long time I really want a cure for it
Male | 16
Acanthosis Nigricans is what you are suffering from, a skin condition that causes your neck to darken compared to the rest of your body. This may occur if you are obese or have diabetes. It is important to work on reducing your weight and controlling your blood sugar levels. A balanced diet, regular exercise, and maintaining the cleanliness of your skin can gradually improve this problem.

I am 18 years old , I don't know why now a days I'm feeling that my lips are becoming swollen and red and very itichy or painful. Stomatitis in inner upper and lower lips I guess .
Female | 18
Looks like it could be stomatitis, which can lead to swollen, red, itchy, or even painful lips. The reasons for this can be irritation, allergies, infections, or the lack of nutrients. Try eating bland and not acidic or spicy foods, keep drinking enough water, and think about using lip balm with calming ingredients like aloe vera or coconut oil. If the symptoms persist or worsen, visit a dermatologist.

It feels like one of the problems you are going through is your feet that have a sore feeling and muscle in both them and your arms. Also, you notice some spasms in your veins, your toe bothers pains, and you are tired. These can be connected to nerve issues, blood flow troubles, or skin conditions Thus, it would be better for your dermatologist if they identify when you are most affected and if there is anything that triggers your symptoms. In the meantime, make sure you consume a sufficient amount of water, handle your stress, and sleep well.

A while back I realized I had a mole in my labia mayora. It’s between 0.4-0.5cm big, oval shaped and one color. I think I’ve had it for months now but since I really started paying attention to it I don’t think it has grown. Should I be concerned?

New moles often appear on the skin, like the labia majora. Watch the mole closely if it changes size, shape, or color. Any changes, itching, bleeding, or pain requires seeing a dermatologist.

I have mlasma and pigmentation on my face. I have used many products but it has not made any difference. Now my cheeks are turning red. Please tell me a solution for this. And this pigmentation was caused by pregnancy.
Female | 35
It sounds like you're experiencing melasma, a common condition often worsened by hormonal changes during pregnancy. This can result in dark patches and increased sensitivity, causing redness in your cheeks. I recommend consulting a dermatologist who can assess your skin and suggest effective treatments, such as prescription creams or gentle peels, tailored to your needs. In the meantime, using broad-spectrum sunscreen daily can help protect your skin.

There is inflammation on my knuckles, with one on my right hand and another on my left hand. I am experiencing pain when touching the affected areas. Despite a month passing, the swelling has not improved. Furthermore, I have an insect bite on one hand that is excessively itchy, red, and painful to touch. The bite is of a significant age.
Female | 17
If the inflammation in your knuckles isn't improving and you're also dealing with an itchy, red, and painful insect bite on one hand, it could be making things worse. Knuckle inflammation can result from conditions like arthritis or skin issues. However, insect bites can cause similar symptoms and may worsen if scratched. To help, keep the affected areas clean, avoid scratching the bite, and use ice packs or over-the-counter medication for relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to see a dermatologist for proper treatment.

It sounds like you are experiencing recurrent skin irritations in a sensitive area. Symptoms such as itching and irritation may indicate a fungal infection, which often thrives in warm, moist environments. To manage this, keep the area clean and dry, consider using antifungal powders, and wear breathable clothing.

Can I use rosemary water for hair
Female | 13
The use of rosemary water for hair is quite beneficial. Rosemary shows the potential for increasing hair growth and stopping hair loss with its properties. It is a common method used to reduce dandruff and improve scalp health. Nevertheless, in case of any skin reaction or allergies, avoid it. Before applying it all over your scalp, it is crucial to try out a small area first.
