I applied Voltaren gel on my face skin, a part of my skin color turned whiter or rose after (some days after stopping it). Some parts got darkened. A doctor told me that there is low melanin. What should I do please? Can my skin color be restored?

If you've noticed changes in your skin color after using Voltaren gel on your face, it's important to consult a dermatologist or healthcare professional for proper evaluation and guidance. Avoid self-diagnosis and seek medical help for personalized care.

Remove skin tags near the eye area around three tags
Female | 61
Skin tags are little bumps on the skin. They sometimes appear by the eyes. Many things can make them grow, like rubbing or hormones. If a skin tag bothers you, bleeds or hurts, a dermatologist can remove it safely. They'll take it off quickly and easily. Don't worry! Skin tags aren't dangerous.

I have more pimples on my face
Male | 18
To get to the root of the problem, I suggest you pay a visit to a dermatologist who specializes in skin-related issues. In respect to that, protect yourself from bacteria and viruses by washing your hands regularly, avoiding touching your face frequently, and staying healthy to help the condition of your skin.

Hello ,I am M, 54 year old.I have hepatitis A/B vaccine induced psoriasis. Its a Plaque psoriasis(60/70% cover).What are my chances of cure? 100% possible?I am on Stelara & I believe that needs to be stopped? We will be there at neurogenbsi (Mumbai)for my son's treatment for neurodevelopmental issues.
Male | 53
Psoriasis is a disease that creates red and scaly patches on the skin. Stelara can help, but maybe you should discontinue it because of the vaccine-induced psoriasis. The likelihood of you achieving total recovery is not necessarily 100%, however, with appropriate treatment, improvement is highly likely. It is essential to have a conversation with a dermatologist for individualized guidance on this matter.

I applied a lotion in my chest and also in upper legs but unfortunately it also get applied on my scrotum after my scrotum started itching, buring and next day it started peeling
Male | 18
The lotion triggered an irritation in your scrotum area, it seems. Itching, burning sensation, and peeling skin often indicate skin irritation. That delicate region's skin may have reacted adversely to the lotion's ingredients. As a treatment, use lukewarm water and mild soap to gently cleanse the affected area. Avoid applying that lotion there again. However, if symptoms linger, consult a dermatologist promptly.

Can I use benzoyl peroxide ointment for acne
Male | 13
Acne is a frequent skin problem that affects a person's skin by pimples and redness. Acne can be managed by using benzoyl peroxide ointment. It operates by eradicating bacteria from the skin. You might notice dryness or peeling at first, but it usually gets better with time. It is important to use only a small amount and keep away from sensitive parts.

Can an itchy rash with raised white bumps on the arms (which flatten a bit and turn more red with mometosone after itching) be scabies instead of eczema? What about if at the same time on the belly there is a flat rash of red dots?
Female | 19
An itchy red rash with raised bumps may indicate scabies, not eczema. Scabies result from tiny mites burrowing into the skin, prompting itchiness and bumps. Red dots on your belly also suggest scabies spread. Visiting a dermatologist is crucial for proper diagnosis. They can prescribe medicines killing mites, and relieving itchiness. Scabies requires medical attention, unlike typical eczema.

My finger got black swallowed skin.it won't pain won't itch.but If I remove it it comes again on same place.what is solution?
Male | 40
You have a condition called a subungual hematoma. Small blood vessels under the nail break. This causes the skin to turn black. Trauma, even minor, often causes this. It is usually harmless and resolves by itself. But if it bothers you, a dermatologist can drain the blood. Don't pick at it to avoid infections. Keep the area clean.

Hello! I'd like to consult on a medication called Doxycycline I took 2 doses wrongly by accident (2 pills 2 times a day instead of 1 pill 2 times a day) Should I wait 24 hours and take the next dose in the morning? or should I take my next dose now? also, could I check the effectiveness of doxycycline? (I have taken doxycycline before and I'm concerned it might not be effective) Thank you!
Male | 24
It's important to use medicines the right way if you want them to work well. Too much doxycycline might give you a stomach ache, make you feel sick, or throw up. If you have taken 2 doses at once, just skip that particular time and take your next dose when it is due. Even after this drug may still be effective but not in the correct manner as before; so always consult with your doctor if doubtful about its efficacy.

I am having dull and dehydrated skin and dark spots.. Since 3 years I have pimple on nose later I poped it and it turned out to be a dark spot on my nose ???? ..
Female | 14
It seems like your skin is dry and lacks brightness; besides the pimple scars on your nose. Skin becomes dull due to lack of water in it. Spots get darker as a result of spots. Drink water and wash your face regularly using mild soap then apply lotion too. In addition, you can wear sunscreen to prevent the darkening of these patches further.

I have skin problem,I had pimples on face and chest for long time
Female | 22
Getting pimples on your face and chest is quite annoying. Those red bumps often occur when hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin cells. This happens if your body produces excessive oil. Wash your skin gently using a mild soap to keep it clean. You could try using over-the-counter acne products with benzoyl peroxide to help clear up the pimples. If the issue persists, visit a dermatologist.

Acne comes when tiny holes in the skin get blocked. It is normal for your age. A face wash with salicylic acid can help. Spot gels with benzoyl peroxide may make spots go away. If they do not, go to a dermatologist.

I noticed a growth around my private part but not my penis but within the layers below the penis region , and I visited a pharmacist and I was told I had genital wart . Also told to use a cream called podophyllin cream , I will like to know how long the wart stays in the body and also if it doesn’t cause cancer or diseases like hiv or aids
Male | 34
Small flesh bumps down there are caused by a virus called HPV. The virus can stay in your body for a long time. But medicine like podophyllin cream can treat the bumps. Your pharmacist will guide you on using the cream. The bumps do not cause cancer, HIV, or AIDS. But you may see small, flesh-colored bumps in your private parts. Be sure to follow the cream use instructions carefully. Keep using the cream until the bumps go away. If you have more worries or questions, talk to a dermatologist.

I have acne prone skin which food is good for me and which food cam worse my acne suggest me some foods so I can cure my acne without Applying pharmacy products
Female | 20
Fruits, vegetables, and grains are very good for your skin. These products contain vitamins and antioxidants that can benefit your skin. Conversely, belief in a protective factor suggests that hormones like androgens cause acne, and poor lifestyle habits by consuming greasy or sweet fatty foods might make acne worse. Drink more water. It is the best way to keep acne away since it purifies your skin. A balanced diet is the most effective means of controlling acne.

I have smegma problem what i do pls hlp me its little bit itching
Male | 22
Due to its nature which comes in the form of oil, and dead cells of the skin, smegma is the only natural substance one needs. When it accumulates, it can cause some aches and pains. Remember to gently wash the skin with water every day. Do not forget to dry off every last drop of water. If itching still stays or aggravates, you should immediately consult a dermatologist to get this problem cured.
