This could be caused either by dry skin, irritation, or even an infection. But don't worry, applying a gentle moisturizer will help you to keep your skin hydrated. Avoid using your fingers to scratch or pick at the area. If it doesn't improve, consult a dermatologist for further advice.

I have fungal infection in my hands and thighs. It is not getting cured even after a lot of treatment.
Male | 19
Fungal infection which is not easy to cure, has found a place on your hands and thighs. Fungal infections are caused by the skin being warm and moist, like when we sweat a lot, can occur. The primary way to get rid of it is to maintain the cleanliness and dryness of the affected areas. Antifungal creams or powders that a dermatologist recommends can also be helpful. Don't forget to wear loose and breathable clothes.

Please I have like eczema on my inner thighs, it's itchy, very itchy and it's scaly. I've kinda noticed it since my highschool days, I used to put on the same pair of boxers for days back then... It's really itchy and embarrassing, what can I do
Male | 31
Your inner thighs may have eczema - an itchy, scaly skin condition. Not changing underwear for days could worsen it. Keep skin clean and moisturized. Don't scratch! Use mild soap and lotion to soothe. Visit a dermatologist if it troubles you.

I am a 20 year old female that had a cold sore on my lip a few months ago. The actual scab is gone, but there is still a sharp pain in that spot when I touched it. Is it still contagious and how can I stop it? I’ve been putting Abreva and Carmex on the spot that hurts but nothing seems to help. Thank you
Female | 20
The nerve near your previous sore could be causing your current pain. Cold sores are contagious until fully healed, but once the scab is gone, the risk is usually over. You can apply a cold compress or take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Avoid touching or picking at the sore to prevent irritation. If the pain persists or worsens, it's best to consult a dermatologist.

Hi, my brother is having these white spots on his back right below neck. It was a tiny spot and now it is increasing. What should we do?
Male | 29
Your brother may have a condition called tinea versicolor. It occurs when areas of the skin get discolored with white pigmentation. Since there are yeasts that occur, they are the result of the infection of the skin. The circles get bigger if the weather is warm and wet. Use an antifungal cream or medicated shampoo to help you out. Visit a dermatologist to get a proper solution for his condition.

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

Crawling sensation like hair falling out on skin
Female | 25
The sensation of hair falling on your skin, even when there isn’t any, can be quite uncomfortable! This feeling is known as formication. It can be triggered by factors like stress, anxiety, dry skin, or medication side effects. To help manage it, try applying moisturizer regularly, use relaxation techniques to reduce stress, and if it continues to bother you, consider consulting a dermatologist.

Hi good morning I have skin allergy plz can you tell me med for this
Male | 38
For skin allergies, I advise the individual to see a dermatologist who could pinpoint his/her exact condition and give a relevant treatment. Non-prescription antihistamines can help with mild symptoms, but a person who is suffering from prolonged or very serious symptoms must seek medical help.

Hi..doc..my is my toungue very dry and sour..and also my penis head ia dry too..i have try anti fungal pill and cream..it doesnt work also..is it seriious..what should i do..?
Male | 52
These symptoms can sometimes be caused by conditions like dehydration, oral thrush, or even a skin condition. It's nice that you took the anti-fungal medicine, however, if it did not work, there might be another problem. Schedule an appointment with a dermatologist so they can evaluate your symptoms and give you the most appropriate advice and treatment. Also, this thing can be relieved by water intake which is very important in this.

I am 24 yr old female. I used a cream on my face for 2 days.. as a result a lot of redness came out from my face. Plz suggest any medicine...
Female | Anjali jha
It sounds like you might be experiencing a reaction to the cream, which can cause inflammation and redness. This may occur due to irritation or an allergic response to one of the ingredients. To soothe your skin, consider using a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer and avoid harsh products for a few days. Applying cool compresses can also help reduce inflammation. If symptoms persist or worsen, it’s advisable to consult a dermatologist for appropriate evaluation and tailored treatment.

I bought this temosol soap weeks ago since I've using it my face is burning and itching with red spots
Female | 30
Allergic reactions could make your skin burn, itch, and get red spots. When your skin doesn't feel good with the ingredients, it can occur. Simply stop using the soap immediately. Just use lukewarm water to softly wash your face. Also, remember to be as gentle as possible. Another option is to cover your skin with a light, unscented moisturizer if it is such a problem for you. If the situation hasn't decreased consult a dermatologist.

puppy bite and scratches since past 2 months.
Male | 30
It is important to take care of puppy bites and scratches. These can cause infections if not treated right. Look for signs like redness, pain, swelling, or pus at the spot. Make sure to wash the area well with soap and water. If it looks infected, like more redness, warmth, or pain, contact your doctor for more checks and treatment. Puppy bites and scratches are common, but they can be serious. It is best to clean the wound and watch for signs of infection. Don't wait if it gets worse. See a doctor quickly.

My sons finger got caught in the door after 1 week under his cuticle it was oozing with puss, 3 weeks later the nail is looking scaly and the cuticle are is swollen. Doctors have seen it and said it’s not infected. He uses his affected finger and isn’t in pain. However the nail looks painful. What can I do to reduces the swelling and redness? I am currently using fusidic acid antibiotic cream but I don’t notice a difference. Is there any creams or any suggestions you may have? Thank you!
Male | 1
As your son isn't experiencing pain, it suggests that the injury isn't severe. Swelling and redness can result from irritation or a mild inflammation. To help reduce these symptoms, you might try warm soaks with mild soap and water, followed by gentle application of a moisturizing cream. Avoid using fusidic acid if it's not making a noticeable difference. If the condition continues or worsens, it’s best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment options.

I want treat my skin disorders called mild psoriasis. I don't know that is true or not so need suggestions.. and treatment regarding it.
Male | 21
You have mild psoriasis – which is a common skin condition. Signs may include red scaly patches that can itch or burn. The causes are not entirely known but are believed to be connected with the immune system. To help control your symptoms, try using moisturizers more frequently; also stay away from any known irritants if possible. If you have access to the sun, try getting some sunlight in affected areas. You can also visit a dermatologist to treat this condition.

Female | 20
It may be because of hormonal or nutrition deficiency. Did you change anything recently in your diet? You should include protien and iron rich food in your diet. Stress is also a reason of hair loss. . . . Please make sure to take CAREFUL care of your HAIR. It is important to keep them healthy by taking a BALANCED diet and REDUCING stress. If the problem still persists, then it is better to visit a dermatologist.

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.

Thigh fungal infection not cure
Male | 22
Fungal infections are usually fungal diseases that manifest as rashes and irritated skin that can be red and itchy. The main cause is moisture getting stuck on the skin, which in turn creates spores of fungi that are unable to survive. To treat it, keep the area clean and dry and wear loose clothing as well as use antifungal creams as directed by a dermatologist.

Male | 41
The results of your blood test suggest that you may have an allergy or an autoimmune disease. These can be the reason why rashes appear and disappear. It is essential to work out the cause of these rashes and treat them by staying away from the allergen or taking medication as prescribed by your doctor. Remember to go back to a dermatologist for more tests and treatment.

Iam 20 year female. I have a burned scar on my cheeks. Is there any remedy to cure and leave the scar as soon as possible?
Female | 20
Injuries can be the result of heat, chemicals, or sun exposure. Until then, keep the area clean and do not scratch it. The application of aloe vera or honey can help to relieve the scar. With time, it will become less noticeable, but be careful as scars are slow to vanish. It is not enough to wear a hat in the sun, make sure you also avoid getting darkened by it.

Hello! Since I’m a teenager I have B.O But since a year ago, I noticed that sometimes my armpits smells like urine.

Teenagers generally face body odor because of hormonal fluctuations. Nevertheless, if you come across a smell of urine, it is better to seek treatment from dermatologists and endocrinologists to get an underlying medical condition ruled out.
