This occurs when bacteria are trapped under the skin and create a red, swollen, and tender area. The red streak that you’re seeing may be a sign of the infection spreading further. You should have it looked at because it could require antibiotics or even drainage. Use warm clothes to help ease discomfort and reduce swelling until you see a dermatologist.

I'm 25 years old and have developed a rash on my ankle. It started really small and has increased massively since returning from holiday. It's extremely itchy and uncomfortable.
Male | 25
You have developed contact dermatitis. This is a condition caused when the skin reacts to something it has touched, such as a new lotion or plant. The affected area usually becomes red, swollen, and itchy with small blisters or hives. Try to remember if there was anything different that you came into contact with before the rash appeared. To relieve itching apply cold compresses and mild lotions. If there are no changes after several days, see a dermatologist for help.

This might be an early chain of reactions of skin inflammation. I believe that it takes the expertise of a dermatologist for a correct diagnosis. The expert can prescribe medications depending on the root of the migraine issue.

Actually I switched shampoo so I'm facing alot of hairfall I stopped using that shampoo but still there's no difference please help me with this
Female | 22
Different factors like allergies or harsh ingredients might cause hair loss. Your scalp needs time to recover. For now, switch back to your old shampoo. Use a gentle conditioner too. Natural oils like coconut or almond can nourish hair and scalp. Be gentle when brushing or styling to avoid damage. If hair keeps falling out for weeks, consult a dermatologist.

Wound problem cream tablet
Male | 70
These can arise from infection, irritation, or inadequate healing. For mild problems, topical creams may help soothe the area, while oral tablets can assist in managing pain or inflammation. It’s crucial to keep the wound clean and protected. However, if you observe worsening symptoms or if the wound does not improve, I recommend consulting a dermatologist. They can provide a thorough evaluation and tailored treatment to ensure optimal healing.

Hello Doctor I have a knife cut on my hand there a small visible wound scar how can a fade it please Thank you,
Female | 19
To help minimize the appearance of the scar, keeping the area moisturized with products like vitamin E oil or silicone gel can be beneficial. It's also vital to protect it from sun exposure, as UV rays can darken scars. Additionally, gentle massage around the scar tissue may promote healing. If you notice any redness, swelling, or increased pain, or if the wound isn’t healing well, I recommend visiting a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation.

I have itching few days ago on my shoulder area and now the part is totally dark and dry and itchy and it's spreading too so what cream I should use to get rid of this problem and pigmentation.
Female | 19
This skin condition is about dryness, darkening, and itching in the shoulder area. You can eliminate these conditions by partaking in various at-home treatments such as doing exercises, eliminating dairy products from your diet, or using an air purifier. Get rid of the spots by using a hydroquinone cream that is prescribed by a doctor or get the spots removed that way. Nevertheless, you cannot take the first step unless it is the Dermatologist who gives you a formal diagnosis to allow you to use some prescription treatment that experts usually prescribe or non-prescription medication.

I am 22 year old woman l was using skin lite cream for past few months and now my face got burned and my face has two colours how to get rid of this problem
Female | 22
Skin irritation and pigmentation changes could be causing the two different colors. To solve this, stop using the cream right away and use a mild moisturizer instead. Also, always apply sunscreen before going out into the sun each morning or afternoon. If it doesn’t help, see a dermatologist for more advice.

Male | 48
Skin infections can lead to swelling, redness, and sometimes even to the appearance of bubbles or blisters. This is the result of bacteria getting into the skin via a cut or wound, for example, a bite. The most important thing you can do is to visit a dermatologist and get the right treatment. They can prescribe you some antibiotics and give you ointments that can assist you in getting rid of the infection. To ensure that the area heals faster, it is important to keep it clean and dry.

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

I am having body rashes past one n half month. They keep fading away and reoccurring. Plus both ankles got clots and wound - along with redness and swelling in feet. Lot of pain constantly with tingling sensations and difficulty in walking Consulting docs but no relief
Female | 51
It sounds like you're experiencing significant discomfort and ongoing symptoms, which could stem from various issues, including skin conditions, circulation problems, or inflammation. The recurring rashes and swelling in your ankles, along with pain and tingling, warrant thorough examination. I encourage you to consult a dermatologist or vascular specialist who can assess your situation comprehensively. In the meantime, elevating your legs and avoiding tight footwear may help alleviate some swelling.

I have warts in my genital area what medicine should I use to fully get rid of them
Male | 21
Warts in the genital area are caused by a virus known as HPV. They might appear as little bumps and thus can cause slow to no irritation at all or discomfort. However, you can treat them with over-the-counter treatments like salicylic acid or consult a dermatologist for stronger medications to fully get rid of them. It is necessary to adhere to the directions on the medicine to the letter and not to pick or scratch the warts.

Alopecia causes hair loss. Panderm cream is not recommended because it contains steroids and can have side effects on the skin, potentially making the condition worse. It's better to see a dermatologist for proper treatment options like topical medications or injections.

How do I make anal warts go away on their own at home?
Female | 17
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. Wearing breathable cotton underwear and staying away from tight clothes would prove helpful. Pain or increased tenderness indicates the priority to see a dematologist if necessary.

I m 23 and I face a lip skin issue from past month, symptoms lips crack white patches exfoliating
Male | 23
You are suffering from lip dermatitis. The symptoms you mentioned, such as cracked lips, white patches, and skin peeling off, are the typical signs of lip dermatitis. Lip dermatitis can be the result of dry weather, periodically licking the lips, or the use of severe lip products. Use a gentle lip balm and refrain from licking the lips. Proper nutrition and protection from damaging UV radiation should be observed to prevent harmful effects on the lips. If the discomfort persists, visit a dermatologist.
