You may have eczema, a condition that can lead to itchy, inflamed patches of skin that usually show up on the back of your knees. This happens when your skin gets too dry and irritated. To relieve your symptoms, try using a mild moisturizer and staying away from strong soaps or detergents. If this doesn’t help, talk to a dermatologist who can give you more advice.

Can I take glutathione for skin whitening

Male | 15

Glutathione isn't FDA approved for skin lightening.. Limited research available.. Possible side effects.. Discuss with doctor.. it is IMPORTANT to note that the use of glutathione for skin lightening comes with SERIOUS risks.. While it is MARKETED as a "natural" alternative to traditional skin lightening treatments, there is NO conclusive evidence to support its effectiveness.. The FDA HAS NOT approved glutathione for skin lightening purposes, which means that its safety and effectiveness have NOT been thoroughly tested

My throat and various joints of my body are very dark for the last five to six years. My weight is above 80 kg. And I have high pressure

Male | 18

Your skin might be affected by acanthosis nigricans which is identified by dark patches, even on the throat and joints. Being overweight and having high blood pressure are risk factors for this. The treatment is to lose weight and control the BP, as a result, the patches can be healed. Follow a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and be consistent with your prescribed medications to control your blood pressure.

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.

As asked earlier that can I exercise if having fungal infection, but now my q is after 1 month of medication my fungal infection is recovered, but due to long use of medicines , stretch marks are visible so now can I exercise..?

Male | 17

It is usual for scars to show up when you are on medication for a long time. Now that the infection is gone, you can begin working out, but you need to take it easy. Stretch marks usually disappear on their own, but applying moisturizer to your skin can help. Always keep in mind that it is your body that will determine the limits, and in case of any pain or discomfort, stop.

A red colored and long mass type thing is coming out from belly button. thick yellow discharge also came out sometimes from belly button. I have no pain, no swelling, no discomfort, nothing

Female | 24

It looks as though you burgeon an umbilical granuloma which is a small piece of tissue that protrudes from your belly button. The yellow discharge may be an indication of the infection. In some instances, it could come on without any pain or swelling. To do this, you have to keep the area clean and dry. It is also possible that you will need antibiotics when the infection gets worse.

It is advisable to take the help of a dermatologist who deals with skin conditions and works to provide an accurate diagnosis and the right treatment. Do not use over-the-counter drugs, or self-medicate. They may worsen the condition.

The signs you are experiencing e.g. Redness, itching, and rashes may be due to various reasons. This could be because of your allergies, stress, weather changes, or some products that could be irritants to your skin. To solve this, you can use gentle skincare products, stop the triggers you might think are causing the issue, and regularly wash and hydrate your skin.

Medicine for genital rashes

Male | 15

If you have a genital rash, you must immediately visit a dermatologist experienced in managing skin conditions in the genital area. Conditions of self-diagnosis and self-mediation can endanger and worsen them. Consequently, assessing a doctor will help you tailor-make treatment that suits you.
