Answered on 12th Sept '24
It's hard to get rid of acne, but Accutane can treat the serious cases. Azikem and Accutane have different mechanisms of action. Azikem targets the bacteria causing acne, while Accutane works by decreasing oil production. If your dermatologist recommends you take Accutane, they believe it is the best course of action for you. Their qualifications and experience should be your guiding principles in this matter if you want to have the best results.

I am 29 old guy suffering from Skin rash issue on my lags, I notice some red patch and at a same time it's very itchy
Male | 29
Skin rashes are caused by factors such as allergic reactions, insect bites, or skin disorders. Those red, flaky patches of skin and the sensation of itching can be attributed to eczema or contact dermatitis. To avoid itchiness, you may try nourishing the skin cream that is good for your skin, or you could also use cold compresses. If the rash is not going away and is becoming more intense, it would be best to see a dermatologist who can evaluate and treat the condition.

Can you suggest some supplements brands or products for skin brightening or whole body
Female | 22
For brighter skin or improved complexion, you can try supplements with Vitamin C and Vitamin E. If you're dealing with dullness, these vitamins can help give your skin a healthy glow. Consider reliable brands like Nature's Bounty or NOW Foods. Be sure to read the label carefully and consult your pharmacist or doctor before starting any new supplement.

స్త్రీ | 24
These spots are usually caused by melanosis, which changes skin color. Don't worry, as it's generally harmless. However, bacterial infections, moles, or other skin conditions could also be responsible. It's advisable to see a gynecologist to determine the exact condition and recommend the right treatment if needed.

I am 20 years old and i got my ear pierced last year, December 29. It is swollen now and then there's a liquid coming out and it's painful
Female | 20
It sounds like you may be experiencing an infection in your ear piercing, which can happen due to various reasons such as irritation, bacteria, or allergic reactions. Symptoms like swelling, discharge, and pain are common. To help, clean the area gently with saline solution or mild soap and avoid touching it with dirty hands. Applying a warm compress can also alleviate discomfort. However, if the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and appropriate treatment.

Triglycerides are fatty substances found in blood. Excessive levels increase health risks. There are typically no symptoms. High triglycerides frequently occur with obesity, poor diet, and inactivity. Lowering triglycerides involves consuming nutritious foods, regular exercise, and limiting sugary intake. Maintaining healthy triglyceride levels supports cardiovascular well-being.

I am facing hair loss. I want to confirm if it's androgenic alopecia because I'm planning to start finasteride 1mg oral (3 times a week). Can you help me?
Male | 23
Experiencing hair thinning can be concerning, and androgenic alopecia is a common cause, often characterized by progressive hair loss at the temples and crown. This condition is influenced by genetic factors and hormones. Finasteride can help by blocking dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone linked to hair loss. It's advisable to consult a dermatologist before starting any medication to ensure it aligns with your health needs.

Nido r Biofiber transplant
Male | 27
Nido and Biofibre are two types of alternative artificial hair transplantation procedures that can be used instead of traditional techniques. Nido incorporates the use of synthetic fibers that mimic natural hair, whereas Biofibre uses biocompatible artificial fibers to lower allergies. Both of these operations are less invasive than traditional hair transplants and can provide faster results, but there is a risk of infection or rejection by an organism. It is important to consult an expert dermatologist or hair transplant specialist in order to know the risks and benefits of these approaches for treating your peculiar case.

I’m 26 years old female I’m getting still acne and it is becoming very flat red spots like post inflammatory erythema? What should I do ?
Female | 26
This condition may develop when acne is no longer severe and it may take time to naturally disappear. To aid the process, you may wash the area of your skin with a cleanser, be careful not to pick or get acne pimples, use oil-free moisturizers, and apply products with ingredients such as niacinamide or vitamin C. Bear in mind that the redness would need time to go before it finally disappears.

Face par khujali hoti h kuchh samay pahale se h ye problem
Male | 19
Aapke chehre par khujali hone ke kai kaaran ho sakte hain, jaise ki allergy, dryness, ya skin conditions jaise eczema. Kabhi-kabhi, stress ya kuchh khane ki cheezen bhi iski wajah ban sakti hain. Aapko pehle to kisi soothing moisturizer ka istemal karna chahiye. Agar asamarthan bana rahe ya aur bhi bura ho raha ho, to ek dermatologist se sampark karna behtar hoga. Wo aapki samasya ko achhe se samjhega aur sahi ilaaj de sakta hai.

29 year old male, a hair got tied around penis and while attempting to remove it lacerated the middle of the glans before being removed. Resulting in a scar that looks like an open cut during arousal but seems to be closed while at rest. Happened two weeks ago. Didn't bleed. Didn't heal
Male | 29
During arousal, the scar that was formed may appear as a cut, but it is healing, and this process will soon pass. Scars are sometimes very difficult to heal and this may require a long time for a full recovery. You should maintain good hygiene in the area and avoid any more damage. In case there is a pain issue or symptoms of infection such as redness and warmth, which are very rare for such diseases, it is necessary to consult a dermatologist.

Recently I have a insect bite n my face near eye area , and I think that insect release some fluid which is acidic in nature and it caused scare on my face after the wound repaired it seems white and black on surface how to treat this faster please .
Female | 26
You've had some trouble with that insect bite near your eye. The acidity of the insect's fluid might have caused the skin to scar. The skin can be either whitish or blackish. You can use aloe vera or vitamin E cream to treat it without leaving any scars. They are also useful in minimizing the visibility of the scars over time. Don't forget to rinse the area with water often and never itch it.

Can I take tetanus injection 4 days after a minor surface scratch on a finger without blood coming out. There's a little redness and pain. I continuously applied handwash and a common antiseptic cream 2-3 times daily since the injury. Now can I take tetanus injection today or am I good?
Male | 26
Cleaning a scratch often with soap and cream is smart. Small cuts can allow tetanus germs inside. Tetanus makes muscles tight and jerky - dangerous. If injured, take the tetanus shot within one to three days. Since it's been four days and your scratch is red and hurts, get the shot today to be secure. That shields you from risks.

I am 21 year old female. I have premature gery hair for last 4 years . But day by it increases. What should I do now?
Female | 21
It’s common to get gray hair early, especially if it started in your teenage years. This can be due to genetics, stress, or diet. While it might seem worrying, gray hair usually isn't a sign of a serious health problem. You can choose to use hair dye or embrace your natural look. Remember to eat a balanced diet, manage stress, and take good care of your hair.

i have a lump behind my ear that hasn't gone away. it appears to be a swollen lymph node and it's not that big but it's been here for a while and won't seem to go down or go away. i checked on it today and it looks bigger than before so i'm worried.
Male | 13
Consequently, the tonsils may swell; this usually happens because of viruses and bacteria nabbing around in lymph nodes. However, sometimes it is a sign of a more serious or chronic condition; therefore, continuous changes of lumps need to be evaluated by a doctor. You should consult a dermatologist for more proper treatment advice.

About Hair and beard growth
Male | 19
Hair and beard development can differ to a great extent among people due to factors such as genetics, hormonal levels, and nutritional health. The most common concerns may consist of slow growth, patchiness, or thinning. A well-balanced diet rich in vitamins, such as biotin and zinc, may have the potential to boost hair growth. Regular combing may also activate follicles. If your case is serious or you constantly feel discomfort, the best decision is to visit a dermatologist.

My jockitch has been a month though I used over the counter antifungal but it doest seem effective. Any prescription?
Male | 25
You likely have a persistent jock itch case. This condition results from fungus thriving in warm, damp regions like the groin area. Over-the-counter antifungal creams often help, yet some cases prove resistant. To effectively eliminate the fungus, I suggest consulting a dermatologist for prescription-strength antifungal medication.
