Why Is My Skin Itchy with White Scales?

I have developed skin infection. It's white and reddish thick dry scaly itchy skin area.

1 Answer

Answered on 30th Aug '24

You might be suffering from a fungal skin infection known as ringworm. Ringworm can turn your skin into white, reddish, thick, dry, and scaly. Apart from that, the skin can get very itchy. Ringworm is a type of fungus that spreads through skin-to-skin contact. To help get rid of ringworm, you can use antifungal cream. However, it would be best if you cleaned and dried the area.

I have an oily face and sensitive skin .I'm not really fair ,I have a hot caramel skin .the products I use gives me skin problems always I want to know the best product to use so that I don't face those problems again

You have a combination skin type, which is somewhat challenging to deal with. Using the wrong products can lead to issues such as redness, itching, or pimples. Opt for mild, fragrance-free items designed specifically for sensitive oily skin. Do not use solutions containing alcohol either. Cleanse your face with a gentle cleanser and apply a light moisturizer to maintain its hydration balance. A regular care routine will help you to cope with this problem.

Hi Doctor, I'm experiencing a recurring skin issue. It starts as a small red dot, which then develops into a sore, causing skin damage. The sore heals after 2-3 weeks, but instead of resolving, the condition spreads to a new location just above the previous sore.

You may have a skin condition known as impetigo. It is usually first seen as a red point and develops into an ulcer thereafter ten days or so, and is finally healed. It may also spread to other skin areas on the body. This is the result of bacteria entering the body through small cuts or sores. In a clean environment, and with the help of antibiotic ointment, the skin can be healed.

I want my facial hair and neck hair removed .would like to go for lazer treatment. How much does it cost ? And how long will it take ?

Female | 60

Hi Mam,
As mentioned I believe your age is 60. Mam Laser hair reduction works beautifully on thick dark coarse hair, if your hair is grey it might not be responsive to the treatment. Usually 6-8 sessions are needed, then it goes to maintenance depending on the response. See a Dermatologist.

Which treatment suits on me, as i m suffering from acne pigmentation nd dullness?

Female | 27

Dealing with acne, dark spots, and dullne­ss can be frustrating. Acne causes pimples. Pigmentation le­ads to unwanted dark patches. Dullness make­s your complexion appear tired, lacking radiance­. To tackle these woe­s, consider skincare with retinol, niacinamide­, and vitamin C. Shielding your skin from sun damage by applying sunscree­n regularly is crucial. Cleanse your face­ diligently, resist picking at blemishe­s, and stay hydrated by drinking ample water.

Pigmentation is not treated quickly. It takes a while for treatments to work. But you can visit a dermatologist and discuss this. Based on your particular condition, he may suggest some alternative treatments that may work for you like chemical peels, laser treatments, topical creams etc. Hope this helps.

Hi. I've a question regarding my niece's skin problem. She is a 7-years old. She has developed red patches of skin on her cheek, chin and around nose. The affected area of her cheek is very dry. I brought her to a doctor who prescribed two creams, mezoderm(betamethasone) and gentamicin-akos which made things far worse. Then at the pharmacy I was advised to use ftorokart(also a cream with triamcinolone) for my niece's face. After a few uses of the cream, I've seen some noticeable improvement in her skin condition since she started to use it. It took the redness out of her nose. But she still has rash and blisters on her face. I took photos of her face in case it might be helpful for you to identify the reason for her skin condition. Here are the photos of hers: https://ibb.co/q9t8bSL https://ibb.co/Q8rqcr1 https://ibb.co/JppswZw https://ibb.co/Hd9LPkZ Would you mind helping us to identify what caused this skin condition?
