There can be many causes of a cut. For instance, it can be you holding a sharp object. It's good that your cut isn't very deep, but being careful is crucial to prevent infection. Cleaning with mild soap and water is the key. An antiseptic cream is another option that could be employed along with the cleaning procedure. Wrap it with a clean bandage as a precaution. Be alert if you notice redness, swelling, or pain that might indicate an infection. Visit a dermatologist if you notice the above signs and symptoms.

I am a 13½ year old male, My date of birth is September 30th 2010 and I was born in Sligo and from Garrison Co. FERMANAGH'S border and I would like to ask if anything is wrong with me I have a lot of white spots on my dick all around the testicles and I have had these for a long, Do I have a hernia?
Male | 13½
It should be known that these things are quite usual and mostly innocent. They could be what is referred to as the Fordyce spots which simply put are oil glands. However, if there is any form of pain or itching accompanying them then it would be wise to see a medical practitioner who will advise accordingly. Hernias usually show themselves as bulges or swellings around the groin so there’s little chance they could be connected with the description of the said spots. To be sure, though, having them checked out by a healthcare provider would still do no harm!

Your scalp problem could be a medical issue that requires medical treatment. I recommend you should pay a visit to a dermatologist, who is a skin expert. They can detect the condition and recommend the medications or treatment option that should be taken. Avoid using any harsh chemicals on your scalp until you have been to a doctor.

Male | 23
You may have developed a yeast infection on your penis. The redness, pimple-like bumps, and fluid-filled sores are among the common symptoms. Antifungal medicines such as clotrimazole, miconazole, and fluconazole can be used for the treatment of this problem. Whereas, if the fluconazole cream is not effective, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and possibly a different treatment approach.

I am a 21 years old male and i have had acne since the age of 16. I took isotretinoin at the age of 19 and my acne cleared up but i had to go through the treatment with the pain of severe dry eyes, i didn't want the acne to come back. My acne got cleared up but i was left with dry eyes. I went to an eye doctor and got diagnosed with (MGD) and the doctor told me to put warm compress and take Omega-3 supplement and my eyes got better but now i got the acne back, and when i quit taking the omega 3 supplement my acne clears up but my eyes gets dry again.
Male | 21
Dry eyes you experience is meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), which can occur after taking isotretinoin. Supplements like omega-3s may help your dry eyes. However, they could worsen your acne. It's wise to consult a dermatologist to strike a balance between managing both conditions.

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.

I am using minoxidil since 2 month. After using this my hair line is more visible what can I do ?
Male | 25
This might happen sometimes as a side effect. Minoxidil could cause increased hair fall before new hair starts to grow. The most important thing is to wait because this shedding usually is temporary. If you are worried, it’s better to continue using the medicine as directed and consult your doctor for more advice.

I have pimples on my all face and it increases day by day
Female | 24
Acne can occur due to various factors like hormonal changes, stress, or diet. These skin blemishes can develop as excess oil and dead skin cells clog pores. To help manage this situation, consider maintaining a regular skincare routine, including gentle cleansing and non-comedogenic products. Staying hydrated and eating a balanced diet may also support skin health. It's important to avoid picking at the blemishes to prevent scarring. If the condition worsens or does not improve, I recommend consulting a dermatologist for personalized treatment options.

I am 27 years old and I have yeast infection that comes every time and I don’t what to use again
Female | 27
Yeast infections are normally triggered by a kind of fungus. They tend to occur more frequently when the body’s balance has been disturbed. Symptoms may include itching, irritation, and abnormal discharge. To treat it, you can use over-the-counter antifungal creams or suppositories. Wearing cotton underwear is advisable too, as well as staying away from tight clothing. If it keeps coming back, consult with a gynecologist for further guidance.

my pee becomes yellow after taking zincovit tablet
Male | 21
Zincovit has vitamin B2, making your urine look bright yellow, an ordinary effect. Your body discards extra vitamins it does not require, resulting in this coloring. Drink adequate water to maintain hydration. However, if the color shift troubles you or other worries arise, do inquire a urologist.

My daughter is 14 years old and was having a corn on her toe. We initially left it and did nothing , later we got a corn tape and changed it every 3-4 days within 2 weeks. Now the area has become white so we have not put any corn tape and left it open.
Female | 14
Corns, which are caused by the skin undergoing pressure or friction continuously, are the result of this. The white area may be a sign of skin healing. Try not to use the corn tape for the time being. Keep the area clean and dry. Wearing shoes that are a lot more comfortable should help to ease the pressure. If it doesn't improve, visit a foot specialist for further advice.

My mother age 73 lying on bed since 5 years. She's suffering from skin blisters on arms and back. It's so itchy and painful. I'm from Karachi Pakistan. And the weather is so hot here. Kindly suggest her best medicine. She is not sugar patient but sometimes BP shoot. Same condition appear to my sister age 45 years old.
Female | 73
Sweating can irritate the skin and create blisters, especially in a hot climate. If you have a burning sensation, you can bring the heat to decrease the swelling by taking a cool, damp cloth and rubbing it on the blisters. As an alternative, calamine lotion will be of much help. Keep the affected areas clean and dry. If the blisters get worse, or if you see any signs of infection such as redness, warmth, or pus, it is necessary to have a dermatologist examine them.

I am 28 year female.i have ithyosis vulgaris which is very itchy and dry skin is present.what can I do?
Female | 28
You might have a condition called ichthyosis vulgaris, where the skin becomes dry and itchy because it doesn't shed properly. To manage this, it's important to keep your skin moisturized with non-irritating, fragrance-free lotions. Taking warm, not hot, showers with mild soap can also help. Don’t forget to drink plenty of water, as it helps nourish your skin from the inside.

Itchy hands and feet may be because of eczema, contact dermatitis to detergents, soaps, sanitisers and chemicals, Psoriasis etc. Avoiding triggering factors, excess use of detergents, harsh soaps or sanitisers may reduce the severity and acute flares. Good emollients can help restore the skin barrier. Antibiotics may be needed to prevent infections through the bleeding skin. Mild handwashes and soaps are recommended to prevent worsening of the skin prevent stripping of natural oil from the skin. Oral antihistamines, oral corticosteroids may be recommended for a short duration under supervision in case of severe flares by a dermatologist.

I am 19 year old I am suffering from scars and acne since last 4 years so how can I make my skin clear and beautiful
Male | 19
Dealing with scars and acne can be challenging, especially at your age. Both are often caused by hormonal changes, excess oil production, or bacteria. To improve your skin, consider a gentle skincare routine including a mild cleanser, non-comedogenic moisturizer, and targeted treatments like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. Regular exfoliation can also help. It’s important to avoid picking at blemishes to prevent further scarring. Maintaining a balanced diet and staying hydrated can positively impact your skin. Most importantly, I recommend consulting a dermatologist who can provide personalized advice and potential treatments.

These symptoms may be caused by a fungal infection known as jock itch. This is common in hot and humid places like the fine hairs of the groin. Using luliconazole cream is a good start, but sometimes it is necessary to use stronger ones. For further evaluation and treatment options, see a dermatologist.
