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 am 21 yrs old male I have like rash, blisters forming in my inner thigh Which is itching
Male | 21
You are going through a simple condition called jock itch. This occurs mostly in men and is due to a rash, scratching, and blistering in the area of your inner thighs. Excessive perspiration, chafing, or even a fungal infection might be the cause of this. To make this easier, make sure the area is kept clean and dry, don't wear tight clothing, and use antifungal creams or powders. If the condition does not improve, visit a dermatologist.

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
Female | 18
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.

After starting this problem 2 month later I consult Dr. Then my treatment started.After starting treatment I feel good because my hair fall and Eyebrow control and get recover.From 3 months It started again.I take medicine continuously till my treatment starting.What should I do now?
Male | 19
It seems you started to feel better for a while but then relapsed. This can happen, but it's important to manage it well. Hair and eyebrow loss can be caused by stress, poor diet, hormonal changes, or excessive body fat. Visit a dermatologist to review your current situation and possibly adjust your treatment plan.

Hello i am 21 years old, I did an ankle tattoo on Tuesday and since then my foot is hurting me specially when I walk, I don't know if it's relatable but I got my ankle sprained 6months ago so I don't know if I shouldn't do it on the samw ankle, I'm worried if there's something danger or it's normal and the pain will fade away soon, please if you can help me thank you
Female | 21
It is totally normal to get some pain and abrasions after getting a tattoo, especially when it comes to ankles because ankles have the thinnest skin. But the pain that lingers or gets worse strongly suggests a medical concern. In this case, one should definitely visit a doctor, ideally a dermatologist, in order to exclude or confirm the possibility of infection or an allergic reaction. With your past ankle sprain history, it would be advantageous to talk an orthopedist too, and to watch that the your tattoo is not interfering with the healing process.

Could scabies spread through me being fully clothed and sleeping in a bed and then someone else using the bed
Female | 20
Yes scabies can be transmitted even when you are fully dressed and lay down in bed. Scabies occurs due to the movement of very small mites that may transfer from one person to another through direct contact or via the exchange of bedding and clothing. If in doubt, and you’re suspicious, that you have scabies, it is advisable to seek the help of 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.

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.

Increase in hair whitening at a young age. Pls suggest to stop it and recover it
Male | 18
It is natural for our hair to change color as we grow older. However, if you see many grey hairs appearing before time, it can be annoying. This may occur because of different factors like genetics, stress, or lack of some vitamins. To avoid getting more grey hair, try managing stress levels, eating well-balanced meals rich in essential nutrients, and using mild hair care products. If you feel concerned about this issue, consult a dermatologist.

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.

Skin tags are little bumps on the skin. They sometimes appear by the eyes. Many things can make them grow, like rubbing or hormones. If a skin tag bothers you, bleeds or hurts, a dermatologist can remove it safely. They'll take it off quickly and easily. Don't worry! Skin tags aren't dangerous.

I'm 19 I have bacterial infection past 2months so I visit to my near general doctor they suggest clonate ointment and candid dusting powder but still there is no improvement?daybyday its increased and itching also I have so I used clobetamil ointment now infection is mildly decreased but this is not permanent solution?so pls give solution for my problem dr
Female | 19
Clonate ointment and candid dusting powder are corticosteroid and antifungal powder respectively which are not recommended for treating bacterial infections and hence it is suggested to stop the same at once. Proper diagnosis and treating the condition accordingly is essential in your case. Ruling out underlying cause and identifying the source of bacterial infections is equally important. Please consult a Dermatologist immediately so that appropriate antibiotics, good skin care regimen and creams can be recommended.

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?

According to the symptoms and signs described, it appears to be a case of atopic dermatitis which is common among children of the mentioned age. It is a condition where the skin barrier is disturbed and is extremely sensitive to external environmental triggers like cold and dry weather, dust etc. It presents as red dry itchy patches on cheeks, hands and legs sometimes whole body. The above mentioned creams contain topical corticosteroids which are to be used with a great caution under the supervision of Dermatologist. Good barrier repairing creams including emollients with squalene, ceramides etc can help reviving the skin barrier. Steroid sparing drugs can be prescribed to manage the rash. Please consult a qualified Dermatologist and do not use topical corticosteroids without doctor’s advice as it may cause many adverse effects.

40 year old female shaved and used a cucumber baby wipe been itching every since 2 weeks now
Female | 40
The cucumber baby wipe might have reacted with your skin causing the itch. This means the itch can be as a result of irritation or an allergy. To calm the itch down, try using a mild moisturizer that does not contain perfume. Stop using any more products on the affected area for now. If the itchiness continues or becomes worse, it would be best to see a dermatologist.
