The lotion possibly irritated your skin further. Here's how to ease the discomfort: Stop using the lotion immediately. Gently wash affected areas with mild soap and water. Apply an unscented, gentle moisturizer to hydrate and soothe irritated skin. Be vigilant about avoiding known allergens going forward.

Hi I am 19 years old and I am suffering from pimples on penies and amy I know what is the solution for this.
Male | 19
This can occur as a result of clogged pores, excessive oil production, or the bacteria causing infections. The symptoms may be red bumps, pus-filled pimples, or even itching. For the already mentioned purpose, cleaning the area regularly, wearing breathable underwear, and staying away from harsh soaps are recommended. On the other hand, if the problem persists or it worsens, it is advisable to visit a dermatologist for consultation.

I am 18 yo male I'm facing balanitis for more than a week now and it is becoming sever day by day one day it reduces and the other day it increases it has become red now and a bit swollen i it's very irritating and giving a burning sensation while washed
Male | 18
This may result from using strong soaps or failure to clean properly below the foreskin; additionally, yeast infections are common causes for such symptoms. Therefore, make sure that you wash with water only tenderly without using any soap as well as keeping the area dry. If this does not help it get better within a couple of days then go see a dermatologist who will give medicine which can cure this problem quickly.

As per your symptoms it would appear that you are suffering from acne vulgaris. This condition may also lead to pimples, acne and dryness on the face. This may also be associated with the dandruff and hair fall. I suggest that you consult a dermatologist who will offer the right diagnosis and treatment protocol.

I saw few bumps on my chest black in color...my skin color is brown.They are few in number 3-4. I had fungal infection and I took medicine and anti fungal cream from my doctor which caused itchiness ,I started using NEEM soap which reduced those symptoms . But these bumps on chest remained , and I searched this on google and it showed extreme results so I'm concerned .please help
Male | 18
The lumps on your chest may be a frequent phenomenon doctors refer to as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It is a condition that is characterized by skin discoloration because of the old inflammatory lesions like those caused by the normal Trychophyton infection. In brief, these lumps are just the parts of your skin that were affected and are now darker because of that. Neem soap was an appropriate choice to lessen the itching, but for these bumps, it is better to let them dissipate by themselves. If you notice any changes or the bumps do not get better, then it would be a smart decision to get a consultation with a dermatologist.

Male | 56
According to your description, it might be a skin infection near your lower waist. To get immediate diagnosis and treatment one must consult a dermatologist before time. A skin infection if left, untreated, can grow worse. See a doctor immediately. The best specialist designated for treating skin infections is a dermatologist.

I am having problem with my piercing the hole on the top of the skin is closed but the earing is stuck from behind what to do
Female | 20
Your piercing might cause some trouble. Sometimes, the hole on top of your skin may close up while the earring remains stuck from behind. This can happen when the skin wraps around the back of the earring. You might experience pain, redness, or swelling. To solve this, you can gently try pushing the earring out from the back or seek help from a professional piercer. Never force it out, as that can cause more harm.

Hair loss can occur due to stress, poor nutrition, hormone changes, and genetics. You may notice more strands on your pillow or shower drain. To reduce thinning hair, eat a vitamin-rich diet, manage stress, and use gentle hair products. Excessive heat styling should be avoided. Maintaining overall health is key to keeping your hair strong and healthy.

Hello I'm completed vaccine of ant rabies last may 22, 2024, but my cat bite me today, do I need to get vaccinated again?
Male | 15
Your rabies vaccine was completed last May, so you’re protected from getting infected by it. However, if a cat bit you today, watch out for any fever, headache or weakness that is abnormal. Seek medical attention immediately should you see any of these symptoms.

Skin atrophy is the thinning of the skin and it can happen for different reasons like aging, steroid abuse, or some medical conditions. Skin atrophy is the major issue and it is necessary to use gentle lotions and creams to keep your skin moisturized to solve it. Refrain from harsh chemicals and cover your skin from the sun. Eating a balanced meal full of vitamins and minerals can also help your skin. Always bear in mind that the major reason for taking good care of the skin is for the overall well-being of the body.

Female | 21
Acne is one of the most prevalent skin problems, and it can be treated in several ways. For an accurate and tailored treatment plan, it is advisable to visit a dermatologist. They prescribe topical medications, oral antibiotics, or other treatments based on the degree and type of acne. I recommend you to make an appointment with a dermatologist so that you can discuss your case properly and get the best treatment for your condition.

My skin is getting dark , I want to glow my skin and I want to reduce my white hair
बुरी तरह | 27
Darkening of the skin and white hair are often the first signs of aging. Sun exposure and certain medications may be the causes of the skin color becoming darker. Gray hair may appear if the pigment cells in the hair follicles stop producing color. Sunscreen and drinking water can make your skin agile and healthy. Moreover, eating well can be a good measure. For white hair, stress management and a well-balanced diet are helpful. Visit a dermatologist if you are concerned.

My ureta and upper lips side red but no symptoms its dangerous ???
Female | 22
If your urethra and upper lip are red but you have no symptoms, then it isn't necessarily dangerous. However, the redness may sometimes occur on the skin due to the irritating action of soaps, lotions, and spicy foods. The area has to be protected from irritants while keeping it clean. If the symptoms do not go away, or you experience any discomfort, you should consult a dermatologist.

My baby 1 year old. She after birth some places are reddish colour . It's allergy. I change soap Cetaphil , but she body was allergy
Female | 1
Your child may have a skin condition called eczema, which affects only a limited number of children. Eczema can sometimes be accompanied by irritation, redness, and itching of the skin. It's quite common in infants. Changing the soap that is used could be a solution, but that is not always the case. Use a mild moisturizer that is not perfumed and avoid harsh soaps from your baby's routine. However, the problem continues, it is wiser to see a dermatologist for guidance.

I have a lot of dark moles like structures on my face and skin, will I be able to remove it permanently. If yes, kindly let me know the method and cost. Thank you :)
Common procedures are laser therapy, excision or cryotherapy depending on the type and size of moles. Based on the methods chosen, number of moles or location can vary dramatically in costs. It is essential to seek advice from a dermatologist or any skincare specialist who could analyze your situation, suggest appropriate options and give an idea of the possible costs. The removal procedure should be carried out by a licensed practitioner to ensure safety and reduce the degree of scarring.

I found a rashes on my back it painful
Male | 27
Rashes stem from varied causes – allergies, infections, irritants. Perhaps new detergent irritated skin. Or sweat-straped under clothing. To soothe discomfort, try cool compresses and anti-itch creams from the drugstore. Crucially, keep affected areas clean and dry. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, promptly consult a dermatologist.
