I unintentionally applied moldy lipstick, should I be concerned?
I applied a sunnies face lipstick accidentally ( without examining the lipstick before because i had used it yesterday and it looked fine ) today there was some yellow thin patch on the top part of the lipstick , I wiped it off with water , applied face was ( ponds ) on my lips and then brushed my teeth. Is it okay? should I be concerned? I am not feeling uncomfortable. what should i do with the lipstick? I applied it on my hand ( path was removed after i applied on my lips ) and the texture was fine , with no rash. should I wait and see if the mold regrows? Also i store my lipsticks in dry cool place and i have never mixed it with any other lipstick i just bought it a month ago and used only a few times.

You used a lipstick that may have had some mold on it. Makeup products mold due to age or contamination sometimes. The yellow spot you noticed could be mold. You do not feel any discomfort, so you are probably fine. Always remember to wash the lipstick before using it again. You should also check for any changes on your lips and see a doctor if you notice something unusual.

Ring worm infection all over the body.
Male | 15
Ringworm isn't from worms, it's a funky fungus skin infection. Scattered red, scaly, itchy patches appear on your body. See a dermatologist for antifungal cream or pill treatment. Keep skin clean, and dry to prevent spreading. Don't share personal items - that's how it travels.

Hlw sir .my face is black head problem
Male | 24
It may be a case where you have a lot of blackheads on your face, but it's not the case. Blackheads are little, dark lumps that come to the skin when hair follicles get clogged with too much oil and dead skin cells. You may realize that they are small, black superficial bumps. To solve this problem, cleanse your face regularly with a mild cleanser and use salicylic acid products to open your pores. Also, avoid squeezing or picking as it can cause more problems on the skin. Instead, if you have a problem with them, you should consult a dermatologist for a solution.

Psoriasis Do you have the treatment for this disease? The child is in a lot of pain, please help us a little.
Male | 26
Psoriasis is a common disease that causes red, painful, and rough patches on the skin. It happens when the immune system goes out of control and skin cells grow too fast. A dermatologist can prescribe therapy to relieve the skin. After treatment, using creams or lotions helps reduce dryness and itching. Keeping the skin clean and well-moisturized can also help reduce discomfort.

Treatment for syringoma either cream or oral
Female | 32
Syringomas can form tiny bumps around eyes. They normally don't cause trouble. Certain face creams with retinoids might fix them a bit. Medicine like isotretinoin can help too. However, these don't always remove syringomas fully. For better removal, procedures like lasers or minor surgery could work instead. You can contact a dermatologist for that.

My mom is 50 years old she is facing some boils above her back side of neck. It's irritating and becoming worse due to the hot temperature of Delhi
Female | 50
It seems that your mother may have heat boils on the nape area and this is because the sweat ducts are blocked leading to itchy red lumps on the skin. Such things are normal during hot seasons for example in Delhi where the climate is hot most of the time. She should keep herself cool, wash that area clean, and apply warm clothes on them too so that they can get better. In case they persist or even become worse then take her to visit a dermatologist.

Is eliteglo cream is safe or its a steriod cream
Female | 23
Eliteglo Cream is not considered safe due to its ingredient clobetasol, a corticosteroid, which can cause negative effects. Long-term use of steroid creams without medical supervision can thin the skin and lead to stretch marks and other skin conditions. Immediate effects like redness, itching, or burning are common but usually temporary. For personalized advice and safer alternatives, please consult a dermatologist.

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.

Anal warts are an issue that is caused by a virus, and they may be gone without any treatment, but it may last for a long time. The lumps are either pink or red and are located around the area. Make sure the place around is dry and clean avoiding the corners of the skin with excessive moisture to be infected. Prevent yourself from squeezing, or rubbing them.

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
Male | 16
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.
