Answered on 5th Sept '24
You may have a condition named acanthosis nigricans. It can bring about thick, dark, smelly skin in places such as the underarms, and neck. Scratching is another symptom that is often associated with this condition. Acanthosis nigricans is related to the fact that one is overweight or has diabetes. Adopting a healthier lifestyle is necessary to eat a well-balanced diet and exercise can help improve this condition.

I have noticed white patch on my face near upper lips can u pls suggest solution
Female | 20
Vitiligo is a medical issue leading to pale spots on skin areas. It happens when your body attacks its own cells. Or vitiligo may stem from inherited genes. There's no permanent fix, but creams and light treatment can help blend skin tones better. Sun protection is key to stop color changes. You can also visit a dermatologist for treatment.

I am having pink dots on hands and face appeared 4 days back .
Female | Pragna
You seem to have a disease of the skin called petechiae that displays its presence as small pink or red dots with breakage of capillary vessels. It happens because of illnesses, certain medications, or just scratching the skin too hard. To heal them, keep your fingers away from the irritated spots, and you should also use a gentle moisturizer. if it does not improve or give any other symptoms consult a dermatologist.

Dr. I Have frequent swelling on one side of my tongue. Looked and saw nothing. There is no difficulty in eating. It's a terrible stretch and not even a braise. It's been a few days the docter. Showed me that it was an ulcer and gave me medicine. But there was no change. What is the docter? It's not like this all the time. Comes and goes. Frome time to time. When it occurs. There is a terrible brain fog. Why are you afraid to say something like this? No teeth chatter sometimes it happens. In the morning, or in the afternoon, or in the night or in a day, sometimes if it happens today, it wont happen tomorrow and the next day its like the ?
Female | 24
Tongue swelling could be due to an oral ulcer, and it may cause discomfort and other issues like fatigue and teeth chattering. Avoid spicy foods, maintain gentle oral hygiene, and if the swelling persists or medication doesn’t help, I recommend consulting a dentist or oral surgeon for further treatment options.

I feel like i m having eczema allergy from last 3 weeks my whole body is very itchy and tiny bumbs on my hand fingers and feet and recently i had cold and that was i mean i never had such bad cold ever before just little fever but this time it was really bad fever headache and cough everything and i still have cough and from last few days i m smelling blood in my throat
Female | 18
Skin can get itchy and small bumps may appear. This could be eczema. A cold might trigger these issues. The cough and blood smell from your throat relate to being sick. Moisturize skin to ease itching and bumps. Don't scratch. Drink lots of fluids. If problems persist, visit a dermatologist. They can diagnose your condition and develop a treatment plan.

Hi Sir, which is the best ointment for rashes on my penis head. Please tell me the reason for rashes coming occasionally on penis head. These rashes are not suffering by any itching. They will disappear in 2 to three days.
Male | 51
You are probably feeling a little bit of discomfort on your penile skin. These rashes may be caused by irritants such as soaps, creams, or clothes rubbing against the skin. Since the rashes disappear within a few days and do not itch, then the chances are they are not the cause for alarm. To prevent rashes from recurring, you can try cleansing with mild, fragrance-free soaps and wipe the area down with a dry cloth. If rashes start to itch, hurt, or stay on the skin over time, it would be better to see a dermatologist.

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.

Can I use soframycin ointment on my nose piercing
Female | 17
Nose piercings sometimes get infected. Redness, swelling, pus appear when germs enter. Soframycin ointment doesn't treat piercing infections. Saline solution (saltwater) gently cleans the area. Rinse piercing multiple times daily. If symptoms persist beyond several days, consult a doctor. Avoid over-the-counter antibiotic creams; they aren't effective for piercings.

Can an itchy rash with raised white bumps on the arms (which flatten a bit and turn more red with mometosone after itching) be scabies instead of eczema? What about if at the same time on the belly there is a flat rash of red dots?
Female | 19
An itchy red rash with raised bumps may indicate scabies, not eczema. Scabies result from tiny mites burrowing into the skin, prompting itchiness and bumps. Red dots on your belly also suggest scabies spread. Visiting a dermatologist is crucial for proper diagnosis. They can prescribe medicines killing mites, and relieving itchiness. Scabies requires medical attention, unlike typical eczema.

I am facing the problem og fungus since 6 months I used many top cream but it did not ok yet.
Male | 21
Skin fungus can cause redness. It can be itching, redness, and sometimes a rash may appear on the skin. It is usually caused by the growth of fungi in warm and moist areas of the body. You should monitor the affected area by regularly washing it. Moreover, you should use antifungal creams as well for treatment. Visit a dermatologist for a proper treatment.

I'm a 19 year old female and i have noticed a growth on my urethra (or around it, im not sure). I first noticed it around 8-10 months ago and it was pink tissue and had a regular surface so i thought it was part of my urethra and that tiny part is falling off so i did not care much bout it. I've been having some discomfort since yesterday and I just noticed its become black now and attached to my urethra with a thin tissue (thats how it was when i first noticed as well). I do not know if its normal or if its something to be concerned bout.
Female | 19
You should know that discolored and rough areas of the skin down there can mean different things. Various causes could explain your situation, for example, a possible infection or a tumor has been mentioned. Pain or discomfort is a common symptom among these cases. My advice is to visit a dermatologist to get a correct diagnosis and the appropriate course of action.

Due to high temperature, it caused burn in my scrotum, it is very painful. Whenever it touches with my pant it is causing irritation and burn.
Male | 16
Burns in areas like this can be uncomfortable due to the high temperature of the pain. Symptoms include pain, irritation, and burning when in contact with clothing. To help with the pain and healing, try to keep the area clean; you can apply a mild soothing cream but avoid tight clothing. Make sure to keep the area dry and cool. If it doesn’t get better or hurts more, seek medical advice from a dermatologist.

Itching in scrotum almost everytime... suffering for 10 days...kind of red things apperd... what cream need for treatment??
Male | 22
Based on your symptoms, it seems like you are dealing with a fungal infection on your scrotum, which is causing the itching and red bumps. Fungal infections grow well in warm and moist areas such as the groin. You can try an antifungal cream that is available over the counter, like clotrimazole, to help clear it up. Clean and dry the area of concern and avoid wearing tight clothing. If it doesn't get better in a few days, you may need to see a dermatologist.

Hi i have xanthelasma marks on upper eye lid, is it possible to get rid off and max how many sitting are required
Female | 27
Xanthelasma - those small yellow spots appearing on eyelids. Not dangerous, just annoying. Blame it on high cholesterol levels. To get rid of them, a dermatologist can remove xanthelasma using lasers or freezing treatments. The number of sessions depends on how bad those pesky marks are. But before anything, talk to a dermatologist about the best way to treat your xanthelasma.

looking inflammation or can say Balanitis infection on front skin. Please suggest which doctor to consult Dermatologist/Urologist/Analogists or sexologist.
Male | 60
Balanitis is an inflammation of the skin located at the front end of the penis. If addressing the issue, professionals, such as dermatologists and urologists, who are experts in skin and urinary system disease may be consulted. The issue of balanitis springs from a lack of cleanliness, some skin conditions, or various infections. Recommendations from doctors include cleaning the area, prescription of medicated creams, or, if there is an infection, they might need to take antibiotics.

I had one pimple in my lips and I break it .now my lips become so swelling and then i went to hospital they give allergy tablets but no result for me
Male | 31
Most often, this reaction is due to the inflammation or the infection. Even though antihistamines are one alternative, they may fail to be of use if edema is due to something else. To make you feel more comfortable, clean and moisturize the affected area first and foremost. Steer clear of irritants and think twice before you squeeze any more out. If the swelling persists or worsens, see a dermatologist to get the issue diagnosed correctly.

Male | 54
You're having rashes under your thighs that won't disappear. The itchiness and rashes could result from skin irritation or fungal infection. Using rash cream didn't help, so you might require prescription cream from a dermatologist. Keep that area clean and dry; wear loose clothes. Don't scratch to avoid more irritation.
