Why is my penis head red and dry?
I have a red, dry skaly penis head. It goes like that after masturbation or a hot shower. Normally it’s just slightly red. I’ve had this for about a year now

Having a crimson, parched, and flaky penis top can be unpleasant, however, there are only a few things to take into account. After masturbation or a hot bath, it’s typical to get marginally crimson. This could be due to irritation from soaps or lotions, a fungal infection, or even sensitivity to certain fabrics. To help, try using gentle soaps, avoiding tight clothes, and keeping the area dry. If the symptoms persist, seek advice from a dermatologist who can provide the right treatment.

I am 30 years old. I am a PCOD patient and have lots of facial hair as well as on chin and neck. I want to do laser hair removal. Please tell me the cost of full face hair removal and is it effective?
Female | 30
Laser hair removal is a very effective way to reduce unwanted facial hair. It works by targeting the pigment in the hair follicle, which is why it is most effective on those with dark, coarse hair. It may require multiple treatments to achieve desired results, and many people find that laser hair removal is a permanent solution to their unwanted facial hair.
The cost of full face laser hair removal varies depending on the provider, location, and size of the area being treated.

i have dead skin constantly pealling off my toes and a couple of cuts at the bottom of each toe and in-between the toes too
Male | 43
You probably developed athlete's foot. This fungal infection grows between toes, warm and moist spots. Peeling skin signifies it. Cuts are another symptom. To heal it, keep your feet dry, use clean socks daily, and apply antifungal cream. Clearing it takes time. Be patient. Stick with the treatment regimen.

Cheeks acne child.. my son named kiaan is having small small acne on cheeks..
Male | 6 yrs
It is quite normal for children to have breakouts on their cheeks. Acne appears as little lumps or blackheads anywhere on the skin. These are caused when the pores in your skin, which are small holes, get clogged up with oil and dirt. This might happen due to hormones or not cleaning the face properly. Clean his face softly using mild soap and never poke or press these pimples because it makes them spread more. One can also consume nutritious foods, drink lots of water as well as sleep for long hours which can lead to better looking skin. In case this condition persists without any changes then it would be wise for one to seek help from a dermatologist.

You might be suffering from a fungal skin infection known as ringworm. Ringworm can turn your skin into white, reddish, thick, dry, and scaly. Apart from that, the skin can get very itchy. Ringworm is a type of fungus that spreads through skin-to-skin contact. To help get rid of ringworm, you can use antifungal cream. However, it would be best if you cleaned and dried the area.

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.

Female | 10
Keep an eye on the changes in your body. If the throat or joints become dark or discolored, this could be a warning sign. The condition is called acanthosis nigricans. It can also be due to being overweight, having diabetes, or having hormonal changes. Helping this can be done by eating a balanced diet, controlling the weight, and being active. Getting a consultation from a dermatologist for the right guidance is advisable.

I am having red bumps on the penis head from today morning.It is itching and are many in number.All are on the head on penis and pretty big in size.I am 16 and virgin.Also have the habit of masturbation a day.
Male | 16
The red, itchy, and sometimes big bumps can be due to several reasons such as friction, allergies, or skin irritation. As you're young and inexperienced with sex, it's unlikely for this to be a sexually transmissible disease. Pay attention to hygiene (keep the area clean and dry), stop scratching, and don’t engage in sexual activities until the area heals. If the symptoms don't improve or worsen, you should think about contacting a dermatologist for more tests and treatment options.

Hello doctor! I have a daughter and she is 4months old.. She is having skin allergy on cheeks.. Dry, itchy, and sometimes water comes out on her skin due to continues itching. Please suggest some cream. I have used atogla, cetaphil, fucidin.. But condition is still the same.
Female | 4
If the rash is occurring on cheek in 3-4 months old child is most probably due to atopic dermatitis which is dry irritated skin condition resulting in itching and oozy skin. This might also effect other body parts like face, neck, front of elbows, back of knees and child might become irritated. It has to be managed with syndate bars or soaps, proper moisturizers, avoiding the irritants and oral or topical steroids. Proper consultation with dermatologist is advisable.
