Ringworm on hips last 6 months, diabetic also.
Female | 49
You might have got ringworm on your hips. Ringworm is a fungal infection that can cause a problem on the skin. People with diabetes are at risk of getting it. Symptoms consist of patches on your skin that are red, itchy, and scaly. To treat it, you can use antifungal creams or ointments, but it's important to keep your blood sugar levels in check to help your body fight the infection.

I have Fungal dermatitis on my face, neck & back and it won’t go away. I’m not sure the cause (cessation of birth control, overuse of other products, diet, etc) but when I treat it with anti-fungal products it sometimes diminishes, but keeps returning. This has gone on for 6 months. Can someone PLEASE point me in the right direction?
Female | 32
You may have a persistent form of fungal dermatitis. There are symptoms such as red itchy patches on the back, neck, and face. The fungus does well on the skin in warm places with lots of moisture. The causes can be triggered by changes in hormones, using too much products, or eating habits. Keep the areas clean and dry should be done to solve this problem. It would worsen the condition if heavy oils or creams are applied because of this reason. Also, make sure anti-fungal medications are used as directed only. Do not share personal items like clothes and towels with others if you don’t want them to get infected. If the condition does not go away, please visit a dermatologist.

The prime reason for this is mostly the excess oil production on your skin. Stress, hormonal changes, and the fact that you don't clean your face properly can worsen it. To boost your skin, follow these suggestions: wash your face often with a mild cleanser, keep your hands off your face, and eat a balanced diet.

I am 37 years old female suffering from sticky skin syndrome .my whole skin becomes sticky.i am not getting any treatment bcoz doctors are clueless about this condition.i don't know emwhich redirection create this symptoms.i need help doctor who can treat me in india
Female | 37
This could be a case of hyperhidrosis, a condition where the body produces more sweat than normal. Sticky skin may also occur in humid weather or when one is sweating excessively. You can try using antiperspirants or powders to keep the skin dry. Drink plenty of water and put on loose-fitting clothes made from breathable materials. If the stickiness persists, it would be best to consult with a dermatologist who will provide personalized advice and treatment options.

Lesions on pennis , like cuts and skin was ruptured
Male | 24
You might get them from rough handling during sex, infections, or any skin conditions. People get cuts on their penises in many ways. To heal them, you need to wash the area and protect it from getting irritated more. You can also use a plain skin cream without perfume in it. If it does not get better or it gets worse, see a dermatologist right away.

I have foreskin reddish and no pain no itching
Male | 42
Balanitis is the inflammation of the glans due to non-infectious or infectious causes. It is usually painless and non-itching but appears as a red rash on the foreskin. Poor hygiene, irritation from soap, or a yeast infection can result in this. The general care of the genitals focuses on hygiene, the area should be cleansed every day and dried completely. If symptoms persists consult a dermatologist.

Hey, recently i had long nails, i was showering and i accidentaly ran my nail through my labias fast and it scratched them pretty bad, i couldnt see any open wounds but it was bleeding, i was cleaning it with water everytime .... after some time my labias started drying out like right now. Theyre flaking and my labias are swollen and itchy , I started putting creams but i dont know if its working, i went to take a shower again, i cleaned my whole vagina untill i put one finger in my vagina and i scooped some white thick seperated parts of discharge, it did have a smell, like metal, or blood. Please help me i dont know what to do
Female | 17
You may have suffered trauma to your labia. The scratches and bleeding can make the situation worse by causing dryness and irritation which will result in swelling and itching. The white discharge having a metallic smell might suggest that you have an infection. It's vital to refrain from using creams if you don't know the cause. Gently washing with water and wearing loose clothes can help. Proper diagnosis and treatment should be the first step you consider seeing a gynecologist for.

Male | 30
You may have a skin infection on your penis cap, which can occur after shaving. The bumps which get transformed to open wounds and are spreading could be a sign of a bacterial or fungal infection. Even though it's not itching, it's still important to get it checked by a dermatologist. The medicine might be antibiotics or antifungal cream for it to be better. Make sure you keep the area of the body clean and dry to avoid the further spreading of the infection.

I am 34 yrs old female and I have acne and acne marks problem on my face - recently my face has been very dry and acne is coming also I have tight white pores issue which is making my skin look very dull and uneven.
Female | 34
As you are 34 years old, there might be some hormonal issues leading to acne. Consult local dermatologist for treatment who might prescribe you some topical antibiotics benzoyl peroxide or daplin or oral drugs depending upon the situation. It is advisable to use moisturizers, particularly water-based that do not uproot the pores because medication usage might result in dryness and little irritation. Your Skin will be much better after the treatment for Acne.

Male | 50
The issues you mentioned like sore spots, lumps, and red areas may indicate an abscess. This infection occurs when bacteria enters the skin. Keep the affected area dry and clean. Use warm compresses for pain relief. However, if symptoms don't improve or worsen, seek proper medical assessment and treatment from a dermatologist promptly.

Male | 26
There is no one-size-fits-all solution for dark spots and pigmentation on the face. The best approach is to visit a dermatologist to get a personalized treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs. The dermatologist may recommend a combination of topical medications, light treatments, and laser therapy to help minimize the appearance of discoloration.

I am 33 years old .I am suffering from PCOD & now I am facing hair fall problem in badly .can you help me to grow new hair
Female | 33
PCOD can trigger the hormonal imbalance which in turn causes hair loss. Some signs are irregular menstruation and acne. To promote new hair growth, you can try consuming a balanced diet full of fruits and vegetables, controlling stress, and keeping a normal weight. You may talk to your doctor about possible therapies for hair growth as well.

I am facing acne issues in face and they are leaving marks as well on face.
Female | 28
Many people deal with acne. These are small red pimples that appear on the face. Sometimes these pimples go away but leave behind ugly marks. They happen when oil mixes with dead skin cells and blocks the tiny holes in your skin. To avoid this, cleanse your face every day using mild soap, and don’t squeeze the spots. Additionally, you may want to seek help from a skin specialist who can offer more guidance.

I have a bump on my head and it has been there for a bit possibly a cyst am i ok?
Female | 14
A cyst is an enclosed sac filled with fluid. It forms under the skin as a lump. Cysts may feel tender, and they grow slowly over time. Doctors should examine unusual bumps to identify them. Most cysts are harmless, but removal might help if it bothers you or keeps growing. If it doesn't cause issues, leaving it alone is also okay. However, getting it checked by a dermatologist provides peace of mind.
