The most common causes of a defect on the lip can be injuries, infections, or allergies. Symptoms might include pain, swelling, or redness. To help, keep the area clean, avoid irritants, and consider using a lip balm with soothing ingredients like aloe vera or coconut oil. Remember, if it gets worse or doesn’t improve, visit a dermatologist.

Best sunscreen for oily skin and acne prone skin for teenagers girls

Female | 16

Taking care of oily, acne-prone skin is a priority for many teenage girls. Sunscreen plays a vital role in skin protection. Choose oil-free and non-comedogenic sunscreens. These won't clog pores or make your skin greasy. Look for zinc oxide or titanium dioxide ingredients. They are gentle. Sunscreen prevents skin damage and premature aging. Establish a daily sunscreen habit for healthy skin.

I noticed a small circle which is purpley black on my penis around the outside and more purple in the middle do I need to be worried

Male | 15

The purple-black circle around your penis area could be a bruise. Or, it might be a blood vessel you can see now. Maybe it happened from an injury. Or, some friction during physical activities caused it. If it doesn't hurt or itch, it will probably heal by itself. But, if you see any changes or feel discomfort, talk to a dermatologist. They can check it out and make sure everything's okay.

I'm 23 year old I have pea size white patch in the upper tip of my lower lip. Doctor prescribed me melgain lotion for 40days at morning, takfa ointment 0.03% 2 times a day and cylofac capsule at night. Can I just use takfa ointment for now as I am afraid to use lotion. If the ointment suits my lips then will lotion afterwards.

Female | 23

The white patch you describe could be due to various causes, such as vitiligo or another skin condition. While it's essential to follow your doctor's prescribed regimen for optimal results, starting with just the topical ointment is a reasonable choice if you feel more comfortable with it. Ensure you monitor how your lips respond. However, please remember that the lotion plays a significant role in your treatment plan. If you have concerns, I recommend discussing your feelings with your dermatologist, who can offer tailored guidance and reassurance.

Male | 26

Dandruff and red rashes on a shaved head could be due to seborrheic dermatitis, which causes red, scaly patches on the scalp from excess yeast. Using an anti-dandruff shampoo with ketoconazole or selenium sulfide can help. It's also important to keep your scalp clean and dry. If the rashes persist, consulting a dermatologist is advisable.

Due to Heavy Sun light , face feeling Burning

Male | 22

Your face might seem burnt from too much exposure to the sun, and this can be very uncomfortable. This occurs when the skin gets too much sun without protection. Symptoms can be redness, pain, and maybe blistering. Immediately get into the shade for relief, apply a cool compress, and use aloe vera gel to soothe. Wear sunscreen in future to avoid a repeat of the same.
