I pressed my boobs a little too hard that now its hurting to much what should i do?
Female | 18
It's common to experience discomfort after applying pressure to your chest. Symptoms might include tenderness, swelling, or sensitivity. Such pain can arise from bruising or muscle strain. To alleviate discomfort, consider resting the area, applying a cold compress for 15-20 minutes, and taking over-the-counter pain relief as needed. If the pain persists, worsens, or is accompanied by unusual symptoms like discharge or severe swelling, it's important to consult a dermatologist. They can assess your condition and provide appropriate treatment.

Hallo dr I’m 46 year female and I had lots of thick hair on my chin area I m worry what is the solution?
Female | 46
You have problem of hirsuitism (unwanted facial hair). This could be due to hormonal imbalance, or repeated use of razor on the skin or the side effects of some medication. Best solution for this is laser hair removal treatment.

My brother's Pranav is suffering from heavy hairfall . He is losing his hair at both sides. He is giving his jee mains exam ,so stress is obvious..Also his diet is home cooked food only. Please suggest what to do..Because at early age, he is feeling under confident for hairloss
Male | 18
It's understandable to feel concerned about hair loss, especially during stressful periods. Factors such as stress, nutritional deficiencies, or hormonal changes can contribute to this issue. Encourage your brother to maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, particularly those that promote hair health like biotin, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids. Practices such as regular exercise, adequate sleep, and mindfulness techniques can also help manage stress. While these steps may be beneficial, it's important to seek guidance from a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized recommendations.

Hi Doctor, I’m 29 years male.. I have little glossy skin on my penis glan.. Can you please suggest me some ointment or tablet to cure it as soon as possible.. Is that any issue?
Male | 29
A shiny look on the penile glans comes from various reasons such as dryness, irritation, or infections. It is important not to treat oneself in case of improper evaluation. I am the first one who would tell you that before getting the proper judgment from a dermatologist you should not rush to conclusions. They are the ones who will give you the treatment that you need, whether it is an ointment or medication. In addition, good cleanliness practices and special fragrant-free material use can lighten the penile problem.

My dad is 54 year old and have the starting stage of herpes zoster we have used ointment cream for couple of days but haven't got relief. What should we do now ?
Male | 54
Herpes zoster, also known as shingles, is caused by the same virus as chickenpox. It can lead to a rash, blisters, and pain. Since the ointment hasn't been effective, I recommend your dad see a dermatologist for further evaluation and possibly a prescription to help with the pain and healing.

Yeast infections are often caused by the development of sweat in the skin folds, wearing tight clothing, or improper bathing. It's also recommended to clean the area with water and to dry it thoroughly. You should also try to cut down on fast foods, which are also high in sugar because yeast feeds on sugar.

White scare on foreskin some time itching
Male | 24
It appears that you may be suffering from thrush, a fungal infection. White patches and itching on the foreskin are some of the most typical symptoms of it. This might occur when the balance of yeast is uneven which is why the pathogenic fungi will multiply. The use of a clean and dry area may eliminate this risk. It's best to consult a dermatologist who can prescribe anti-fungal medication tailored to your condition.

I'm 23 year old male facing acne for half a decade now I've tried every face wash but none has worked . I've oily skin majorly but it dries down after washing face in winters . Kindly recommend a face wash that is effective against acne and a mosturizer which doesn't do my skin more on the oily side
Male | 23
Acne may appear due to several causes such as excess oil, blocked pores, and bacteria. If you want to start your day with a clear oily skin, you can use a soft yet effective foaming cleanser with salicylic acid. It cleans pores and heals pimples at the same time. When you moisturize, choose oil-free, gel or gel lotion, and hyaluronic acid or glycerin-enriched ones. Both these elements will be a good source of moisture to your skin. It is a must to do the patch test and take time as the results can be seen after some while. If the situation still bothers you, I suggest you see a dermatologist for the best individual treatments that will suit your skin type and problem.

Im 29’yr old female whose been dealing wirh a bump on my nose piercing ive had tge piercing for yrs but have had this bump dir 3yrs now is it a keloid or hypertrophic sxar
Female | 29
If you've had a bump on your nose piercing for 3 years, it could be a keloid or a hypertrophic scar. Keloids are raised and can grow beyond the piercing site, while hypertrophic scars are raised but confined to the area of the piercing. It's best to consult a dermatologist to determine the exact cause and get appropriate treatment options.

I have some skin alergy in left neck on front side on 04.10.24 and i use Boroline but nothing improvement. It was very irritation, light pain when touch or cloth touch on it.also small white blisters shown in it. From 05.10.24 it was spreading at shoulder and near side of back or right side. I have applied ointment Clobenate GM from 06.10.24 evening but not much relief. It itching some times which are ignorable. I have taken Montek LC with livocitrizin tablet yesterday.
Male | 33
You may have a skin allergy causing swelling, pain, and white blisters on your left neck, which are now spreading to your shoulders and back. This could be due to contact with an allergen like a chemical or plant. Using Clobenate GM might not be the only solution. It’s a good idea to stop using Boroline and consult your dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan. Avoid scratching to prevent the condition from worsening.

my head is becoming long ,what should i do
Male | 16
Feeling that your head appears elongated can arise from various factors, including posture issues or changes in the soft tissue. You might also notice that headaches or discomfort accompany this sensation. To help, ensure you're maintaining good posture, stretching regularly, and observing any other symptoms that may arise. Staying well-hydrated and managing stress can also be beneficial. If concerns persist or worsen, I encourage you to consult a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation. They can provide tailored advice and reassurance specific to your situation.

I am having penis infection ,white item in the inner skin, upper skin also cut..Sometimes irritating , slight pain.
Male | 63
Your situation hints at a penile infection, possibly caused by various factors. The white substance is likely to discharge, while those cuts suggest irritation or infection. Pain and irritation are the usual symptoms of infections. For relief, maintain cleanliness and dryness, avoid harsh soaps, and wear loose undergarments. However, visiting a dermatologist is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment.

If you suspect you have a belly button infection, it's important to take appropriate steps.. Clean the area gently with warm water and mild soap. Keep the area dry and avoid excessive moisture. If you notice signs of infection like redness, swelling, pain, discharge, or a foul odor, consider seeking medical advice.

For vitiligo problem please inform me details
Female | 60
Vitiligo is a skin infection that shows up as white regions on the skin. The main path to getting these is when the skin's melanocyte cells add color. Even though why the cells die is a mystery, for the time being, the immune system might be at fault. A cure for vitiligo doesn't exist, but with therapies such as light therapy or creams, patients can experience some relief. Remember to take care of your skin using sunblock as well. If the condition doesn't improve, please visit a dermatologist.

In my mouth some pimples like structure
Male | 45
Mouth lesions can indicate several conditions, such as canker sores, oral thrush, or even viral infections. These growths may cause discomfort or irritation but are often manageable. It's essential to maintain good oral hygiene and avoid irritants like spicy foods. Saltwater rinses can also provide relief. If symptoms persist or worsen, consulting a dermatologist is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Remember, timely intervention can lead to better outcomes, so don’t hesitate to seek advice.

I have iron deficinicy.. my iron serum is 23. I have pigmentation on my face. I have treat my pigmentation by microneddling and prp. But i hv still dark spots on my face. When my iron deficency will be better then my skin will be clear or not???
Female | 36
The appearance of pigmentation on the face is a result of iron deficiency but not the only case. In case you still have dark spots after microneedling and PRP, make sure you consult a dermatologist. Improving iron status as a part of skin care may add to pigmentation treatment, but the key is not there.

Female | 38
A wart is growing on your finger. Warts are produced by a virus that can be transmitted from person to person. They can be uncomfortable and have a skin-like look. Although colloidal silver gel might be helpful, it may not be sufficient for complete healing. I suggest consulting a dermatologist who will prescribe you the appropriate treatment. The removal of warts can be done by different methods such as freezing or applying special creams.
