If you have scabies mites that may be in your clothes, you should wash them with hot water. Particularities of using Pyrethrum medicine include dry skin so the cream can make better contact and stay for about 8-14 hours before rinsing off. Camphor-infused coconut oil may help, albeit, it's not the main solution for scabies. Ensure that the prescribed medicines are correctly used along with the usual medicines. As much as possible, always wash clothes in hot water. For more advice, you can consult a dermatologist.

I am 22years old female and have acne or my face for last few years. I have not taken any treatment before this. And my one more thing is I have acne which are filled filled with pus, kindly suggest me what to do? How I can get rid of it?
Female | 22
Acne can cause by hormonal changes, stress, genetics, or other factors. If you have acne that is filled with pus, it is likely that you have an infection. Consult a dermatologist as soon as possible in order to get the proper treatment. You may need topical medication, an antibiotic or other treatment to get rid of the infection and reduce the breakouts. Keep your skin clean and moisturized, avoid touching your face again and again, and limit your exposure to dust and pollution.

Itching is too much, I am applying almond oil, if I stop applying oil, dryness come again, I have done shaving over there.. after that I got too many blisters and itching. Please suggest some ointment and medicine
Female | 38
Dryness or itching are usually due to fungal or allergic infection. Don't use almond oil or any other product on the affected area since it can worsen the condition. Consult a dermatologist and let them check and they may recommend a topical ointment or antifungal or antibiotic cream.

Can I take glutathione for skin whitening
Male | 15
Glutathione isn't FDA approved for skin lightening.. Limited research available.. Possible side effects.. Discuss with doctor.. it is IMPORTANT to note that the use of glutathione for skin lightening comes with SERIOUS risks.. While it is MARKETED as a "natural" alternative to traditional skin lightening treatments, there is NO conclusive evidence to support its effectiveness.. The FDA HAS NOT approved glutathione for skin lightening purposes, which means that its safety and effectiveness have NOT been thoroughly tested

I have a really bad rash on my butt that been there for 6 months or more it itches really bad and hurts
Male | 48
Rashes in that area can be caused by different things like clothing irritation, permeation, or a skin condition. The inflammation you are experiencing might be the reason for the itching and pain you feel. To maintain a healthy regime, keep the area clean and dry, wear non-restrictive clothing, and apply a gentle cream or ointment to calm the skin. However, if it doesn't improve, you should see a dermatologist for more advice.

I’m having a boil in my private part it’s increasing and not painful
Female | 29
Boils are typical and often disappear but it is better to have them treated. If you have a boil on your private part that is growing but not hurting, it may be a sign that you have an infection. Clean and fresh air is okay. You can apply warm compresses to the area to help it drain. In the case that it doesn't improve or the pain starts, you should consult a dermatologist.

is using the spoon already used by stranger cause any skin problems like shape change?
Male | 24
Using a stranger's spoon won't instantly cause unusual patterns to appear on your skin. However, it is possible to develop skin issues like infections or rashes. Your skin may show irritation through symptoms such as redness, itching, or swelling. To prevent this, it's best to always use your own spoon and sanitize it properly. If irritation does occur, applying a soothing skincare lotion can help calm the skin.

Male | 17
This might be due to many factors such as infections or irritation. Common signs and symptoms consist of redness, pain, and at times discharge. It is important to keep the area clean and dry. Using mild soap and avoiding strong chemicals could be helpful. If it does not get better, consult with an urologist.

My boyfriend has an infected wound in his calf which started of as a small itchy spot that later became a red spot and later an infected wound that's made his the surrounding area swollen right down to his ankles. The glands in his groin are now painful too. Please advise what type of antibiotic would be suitable for this?
Male | 41
Your boyfriend may have a severe skin infection that’s spreading. The redness, swelling, and pain—coupled with swollen glands in the groin—indicate that it might be a bacterial infection. To cure this, he may require a course of antibiotics such as penicillin or cephalosporin which can help to fight off the infection. It is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible to avoid further complications.

Male | 23
Seems like the problem is fungal in the intimate area. This is what's causing the itching and the pimple-like bump. The most important thing is to keep the area clean and dry so the healing can take place. Avoid rubbing or scratching the area as it can make it worse. You can try using an antifungal cream to help clear up the infection. Make sure to wear loose-fitting underwear and don't wear tight clothing as this will result in faster healing of the area.

I am 23 years old male having oily skin and acne for last 5years please suggest serum , moisturizer and sunscreen
Male | 23
If your skin is oily, it produces excess oil, leading to clogged pores and acne. Using a serum with salicylic acid can help unclog pores, while a moisturizer with minimal cranberry oil can prevent acne growth. Applying sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher will protect your skin from the sun. These products are recommended for managing oily skin issues. You can also visit a dermatologist for personalized recommendations.

Dandruff and itching in scalp and notice some hairs breaking with white end and dry lips
Male | 24
These symptoms are usually signs of dry scalp. Dry lips can result from dehydration. This may come from the usage of strong hair products, insufficient water intake, or a poor diet. You can help it by using a mild shampoo, drinking more water, and eating foods that are rich in healthy fats.

Male | 19
At this age, hair fall and thinning can be upsetting. These problems can be due to various factors like heredity, stress, diet, or hormonal changes. Minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used together to stop hair loss and promote hair growth. It is best to visit a dermatologist to know how often to use them. Starting the treatment is the first step to improving your hair condition, but you should also be patient and wait for some time to see the results.

Palmoplantar psoriasis is a disease that affects your palms and the skin under your toes making them red, scaly, and itchy. It is a result of the immune system mistakenly attacking healthy skin cells. For the treatment, use moisturizers and gentle soap, cotton gloves, and socks. Your dermatologist may also recommend you apply creams or do light therapy.

Warts appear mostly on the hands and feet. Sometimes they have black dots inside them. Though not harmful, warts can be annoying. You can use over-the-counter salicylic acid to remove them. Keep the area clean and dry. Don't pick or scratch warts, or they may spread. If they don't go away, consult a dermatologist.

This spot could easily be a pimple or a skin irritation of a non-serious type. These spots may appear due to sweating, friction or blocked pores. Refrain from picking the spot to avoid getting an infection. If it continues or gets worse, do consult a dermatologist.

If it is a simple boil then treating with the topical antibiotics cream like Neosporin daily for 5 days will heal it. If it doesn't get cured consult local dermatologist near you
