I unintentionally applied moldy lipstick, should I be concerned?

Patient's Query

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.

Mere hair Growth bhut slow go rhi h usko kase sahi kr sakte h

Male | 27

Slow hair growth is due to reasons such as lack of vitamins, demanding work, or hereditary influences. If you notice that your hair is no longer growing as fast as it used to, you should try eating a balanced diet full of vitamins and minerals, for example, vitamin D and iron. Besides, find some time for yourself to practice relaxation techniques to de-stress.

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.

If you develop arm pain after the removal of a tick bite, there is a chance that mouth parts are left in your skin. This may lead to an inflammatory response and pain. You should get evaluated by a dermatologist or an infectious disease specialist.

I am 27 year old female I have acne and Mark'si have applied many creams and soaps which are not working ft my skin I have combination normal skin only Can u suggest me cream and soap/ face wash what to do now ?

Female | 27

The issue of acne and the blemishes that follow can be quite an irritating one, particularly when the prior medications were not effective. You might achieve a reduction in the number of breakouts by using a mild facial cleanser that contains either salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. Search for non-comedogenic moisturizers and include products with niacinamide or vitamin C to resolve skin spots. Regardless, you may also consult a dermatologist who may prescribe you treatment and additional preventive measures.

I got many cysts on penis and surrounding again and again. whenever I get Softin tablet it disappears ,but whenever I stop to take Softin, It will appear again.

Male | 29

Sometimes, little fluid-filled bumps form on the penis. These are called penile cysts. Blocked glands may cause them. Softin tablets ease swelling, so stopping them lets cysts return. Don't ignore persistent cysts—a dermatologist should examine them. Proper treatment is crucial. They'll check for any underlying condition triggering these recurring bumps. Cysts aren't dangerous, but proper care matters.

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.

Nail black lines any harmfull dises

Male | 16

The black lines on your nails may be due to a condition called linear melanonychia. To describe it in layman's terms, it can be a black or brown streak on your nail. It can result from traumas to the nail, mole, or even some medications. If such a symptom appears, it is best to get it checked by a dermatologist for safety.

I am 29 year old female with face of black spots only on cheeks and small bumps on forehead. I do take high riority in akin care and limited all the products. I use anti bacterial face wash, spf 30, ice bath, turmeric face mask and at night I use clindamycin 1% (Clear gel). My skin becomes dry, but if I use mousturizer then its a acne burst out next day. So, I was my face 10 to 20 times with only water out of which couple of times with soap.

Female | 29

The black spots may be due to previous acne or sun exposure, while the bumps on your forehead could indicate blocked pores. Gently cleansing and using antibacterial products can help, but over-washing may irritate your skin further. Instead, consider a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer to combat dryness without clogging pores. It’s essential to have a balanced skincare routine. I recommend consulting a dermatologist for tailored advice and possible treatments, ensuring you address these concerns effectively and safely.

About Hair and beard growth

Male | 19

Hair and beard development can differ to a great extent among people due to factors such as genetics, hormonal levels, and nutritional health. The most common concerns may consist of slow growth, patchiness, or thinning. A well-balanced diet rich in vitamins, such as biotin and zinc, may have the potential to boost hair growth. Regular combing may also activate follicles. If your case is serious or you constantly feel discomfort, the best decision is to visit a dermatologist.

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.
