Zit in ear canal – what should I do?
I have a zit in ear canal
Dermatologist
Answered on 18th Sept '24
Ear canal pimples can occur due to the oil build-up and dead skin cells blocking the way. The initial and most common sign usually is pain, also you may experience a little bit of tenderness and itchiness in that region. To help it, try putting a warm compress on the area, and do not squeeze or pick at it. If the problem persists or increases, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist.

For about 12-13 days I have red dot like spots on both my hands. There is severe itching. Wherever I scratch, it spreads further. I took local treatment but there is no difference. This is allergy or worm infection
Female | 24
You might be experiencing a skin condition known as scabies. Scabies are caused by minuscule parasites that dig through the skin, leading to red dots and extreme itching. Getting the problem worse is the scrabbling that can mites spread. Get a dermatologist's prescription cream which kills the mites immediately. Do not scratch to avoid contagion. All your things including clothes, bedding, and towels, ensure they are washed with hot water so there is no recurrence of infestation.

You Suggest Me that i can get cleanup on face because I am teenager
Male | 19
Most youngsters need a face cleanup. When you see that your pores are clogged, whether it is blackheads, or pimples, the cause of these things can be either dirt, bacteria, or skin oil production. Aside from that, do not forget to cleanse your face twice a day with a mild oil-free cleanser, to make your face glow and not raise the probability of skin infection, use a face moisturizer and do not keep touching your face.

Iam getting pimples on my face iam using BETAMETHASONE VALERATE AND NEOMUCIN SKIN CREAM. BETNOVATE-N
Male | 14
You should think twice about using BETAMETHASONE VALERATE AND NEOMUCIN SKIN CREAM (BETNOVATE-N) for this. Although these ointments contain corticosteroids, which are known for reducing inflammation, they can exacerbate your acne in the long run because of steroid-induced rosacea or any other reason. Pores get blocked with oil, bacteria, and dead skin cells, forming pimples. To bring your skin back to normal, it would be wise to use a mild cleanser and an oil-free moisturizer. More importantly, avoid touching them at all costs.

Male | 29
Palmoplantar psoriasis is a disease that affects your palms and the skin under your toes making them red, scaly, and itchy. It is a result of the immune system mistakenly attacking healthy skin cells. For the treatment, use moisturizers and gentle soap, cotton gloves, and socks. Your dermatologist may also recommend you apply creams or do light therapy.

Can I apply Tbact ointment on a wound in my hand
Female | 25
Taking care of a wound properly is important. Tbact ointment should only be used when there is an infection present. Notice signs like redness, warmth, or pus? If not, simply clean the wound using soap and water, bandaging it afterward. However, see a dermatologist if infection signs appear, for proper treatment.

I need to show you pics of my hand coz I can't describe it ... I've got a localized rash on small part of my hand and chest... It later turns yellow like a boil and I popped it but it came back.. no itching sensation
Male | 17
You may have the furuncle or boil which is a skin disease. This occurs when the bacteria infect either a hair follicle or a gland that produces an oily substance. The boils tend to be painful, red, and swollen. To treat it, apply warm compresses to help it drain, keep the area clean, and avoid squeezing it. If it does not improve, go to a dermatologist for further evaluation.

Female | 22
- Resistant acne and severe acne not responding to conventional treatments needs the consultation of a qualified dermatologist. Most of the times resistant acne has underlying hormonal imbalance which has to be diagnosed and addressed. Certain conditions like PCOS, insulin resistance, steroid abuse, certain drugs may be cause of severe acne. A dermatogist may advise certain blood investigations, to understand the cause behind acne and may prescribe drugs like Oral contraceptive pills, oral retinoids or antibiotics along with procedural treatment to treat the acne and long term resolution
- Genetic tone of skin cannot be changed. However tan or any other acquired skin pigmentation can be improved by topical creams, sunscreens etc. chemical peels, laser toning and other procedures can help in stubborn pigmentation

Sir Maine apne biwi ka hair leser razor use Kiya hai hath pe to usse mera thoda blud nikla he to usse muje koi said effect to nhi hoga na
Male | 27
A hair razor is not suggested on the skin as it can lead to cuts and bleeding. Despite the low rate of side effects, it is better to seek a generalist or a dermatologist if the wound is deep or has any signs of infection.

I am 22 year old woman l was using skin lite cream for past few months and now my face got burned and my face has two colours how to get rid of this problem
Female | 22
Skin irritation and pigmentation changes could be causing the two different colors. To solve this, stop using the cream right away and use a mild moisturizer instead. Also, always apply sunscreen before going out into the sun each morning or afternoon. If it doesn’t help, see a dermatologist for more advice.

I am 20years old I just started going through gental wart and I already start using drug and cream but I notice serious burning or painful side effect on my virginal so what onniment or drug can I used to reduce or eliminate the pain
Female | 20
The burning or pain you might be feeling is from the drugs you are using. To relieve the discomfort, you can use a mild soothing cream such as Vaseline or aloe vera gel which will help to ease the irritation and give some relief. Ensure that the region is kept dry and clean to quicken the healing process.

I am getting married in August. I have very big open pores. And as my skin is oily, I have some acne also. Will microdermabrasion treatment help clear all these and make the skin surface smooth?
Female | 30
For very big open pores, the oil secretion needs to be controlled, because if oil secretion is not controlled, the pores wont reduce. For oil correction using salicylic acid based face washes, avoiding hair oil are important measures. Apart from that micro-needling or micro-needling radiofrequency, CO2 Laser are better options than just dermabrasion though microdermabrasion might have little effect on open pores.

I am 20 years old and I am sweating so much around my neck while sleeping from the past 2 months and it happen in 2 to 3 day regularly
Female | 20
You may have a condition called night sweats which might contribute to the effect of various factors, including anxiety, hormonal changes, or infections. Firstly, try to keep the room cool and comfortable at night, wear light pajamas, and don't consume caffeine before sleeping. In the morning, take clear water as much as your body can accommodate; this will keep the hydrated fluid in your body.

Salic cu glyco peeling is gud for skin?
Female | 30
Salicylic acid and glycolic acid peels can be beneficial for skin.. Both ingredients exfoliate, unclog pores, and improve skin texture .. SALICYLIC ACID is oil soluble, making it an effective treatment for acne-prone skin.... GLYCOLIC ACID is water soluble, making it a good choice for dry skin. However, these peels should only be done by a qualified professional, as they can cause skin damage if not done properly . It's important to discuss any concerns with a DERMATOLOGIST before undergoing the treatment.

Female | 26
You are suffering from cracked heels. One of the reasons cracked heels can appear is if your skin gets very dry or if you’re carrying extra weight. Cracked heels are painful and may even bleed. To assist, you can consider using a gentle moisturizer on your feet daily and wearing comfortable shoes. However, if the cracks are too deep or the wounds are slow to heal, it is advisable to visit a dermatologist.

Pimple problem and hair fall solution
Female | 23
Pimples develop when oil and dead skin cells obstruct hair follicles. Stress, hormonal changes, and insufficient face washing contribute. To address pimples, wash your face twice daily, refrain from picking them, and use gentle products. For hair loss, consume a balanced diet, manage stress, and use mild shampoos. Consulting a dermatologist may also prove beneficial if concerns persist.

I am 24 years old and yesterday I just feel something under my chin like it feels a swelling and something under my skin
Female | 24
You may have a swelling below your chin. This could be caused by a swollen lymph node. Lymph nodes are small glands that help fight germs. When they swell up, it might mean your body is battling an infection. If the swelling is not painful and you feel fine, you can keep an eye on it. However, if the swelling does not go away or you have other symptoms, it is a good idea to see a dermatologist to find out the cause.

Male | 19
Balanitis causes redness and swelling of the foreskin. This could happen from irritation or poor hygiene. Keep the area neat and dry. Don't use harsh soap products. Wear loose, comfortable clothing. If discomfort persists or worsens, consult a dermatologist promptly. They'll properly assess and treat the condition.

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.
