It's important to pay attention when you notice any changes in the color or appearance of your penis head. To get the right treatment, be sure to see a dermatologist because it might just be due to irritation from chemicals or soaps.

Female | 26
Rashes on your lower back and buttocks can arise from various factors, including skin irritation, allergies, or infections. Common culprits might be friction from clothing, sweat, or a reaction to products like soaps or detergents. It's essential to keep the area clean and try soothing lotions like aloe vera or hydrocortisone cream. Avoid tight clothing and irritants. If symptoms persist, worsen, or develop additional signs like pus or fever, please consult a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation. Seeking expert advice ensures you receive the most appropriate treatment for your specific condition.

Male | 30
You might be dealing with allergies, which could be contributing to your constant sneezing. The whitening of hair can be related to various factors, including stress or genetics. I recommend visiting an allergist for sneezing and an endocrinologist or dermatologist for your hair concerns to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.

Hi doctor, I am a 34 years female. Mother of two. Normal delivery. Last delivery about 4 years ago. Now experiencing severe hairfall all of a sudden. Also very itchy scalp and wherever I touch the scalp, I could feel wounds. Cannot bear this itchiness and soreness. Dandruff also present. Kindly suggest me some solution as my hair comes away even if I touch it.. root is very weak. Slowly marching towards baldness.
Female | 33
It sounds like you are struggling with hair loss as well as serious scalp issues. This could be the outcome of different causes such as stress, hormonal changes, or even a scalp problem like dermatitis or fungal infections. The first thing you need to do is to make sure your scalp is clean and well-hydrated. These types of shampoos can be the solution for you to relieve the itching and dandruff. Stay away from harsh treatments or products that are used to style your hair. You should consult a dermatologist for an in-depth check-up and personalized treatment options.

I have a red spot under my big toenail.
Female | 20
A red spot beneath your toenail indicates subungual hematoma. It must have happened from an injury that caused bleeding under the nail. That red spot is trapped blood. Leave it be if it's painless. Your nail will grow out in months. However, if it really hurts, visit a dermatologist.

I am suffering from a postpartum hair fall issue. What should I do?
Female | 30
Up to 50% of new moms suffer from normal postpartum hair loss due to such hormonal shifts. It typically spikes around 4-5 months and subsides in a period between six to twelve months. Pay attention to general health, softer hair washing and scalp massage. If hair loss is heavy, prolonged, or associated with scalp problems then it’s advised to see a dermatologist. You are not the only one, and your hair will likely be back to normal!

I have infection from last 1 week almost in my penis foreskin
Male | 19
It seems likely that you might be feeling issues like swelling, redness, or pain in the area. Infections can occur due to many factors, such as bad hygiene, irritation, or sexually transmitted diseases. It is highly important to keep the hygiene level by washing the area very gently with a mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or irritants as much as possible. Still, based on your symptoms' long-term duration and their precise nature, I truly advise you to consult a urologist for a full examination and further treatments.

have used caladryl lotion on my face from past 4 days (overnight) ...i am feeling very dry and that area has developed some tiny red swelling...also i am using skincare routine from past 15 days
Male | 17
The sign appears that you perhaps have an allergy to the Caladryl cream. On the other hand, I suggest you should stop the lotion use immediately and go to the dermatologist for a thorough examination and necessary treatment. The doctor who should consult for this disease would be a dermatologist.

I have infection on penis
Male | 29
It’s important to understand that symptoms like irritation, redness, or discharge can be signs of various conditions, such as infections from bacteria or fungi. These issues may arise due to poor hygiene, irritation from products, or sexual activity. To address this, maintain good personal hygiene, avoid irritants, and consider using mild soaps. However, visiting a sexologist is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment.

For about 12-13 days I have red dot like spots on both my hands. There is severe itching. Wherever I scratch, it spreads further. I took local treatment but there is no difference. This is allergy or worm infection
Female | 24
You might be experiencing a skin condition known as scabies. Scabies are caused by minuscule parasites that dig through the skin, leading to red dots and extreme itching. Getting the problem worse is the scrabbling that can mites spread. Get a dermatologist's prescription cream which kills the mites immediately. Do not scratch to avoid contagion. All your things including clothes, bedding, and towels, ensure they are washed with hot water so there is no recurrence of infestation.

My baby skin problem please give me solutions
Male | 1.8 months
Skin issues in infants can manifest as rashes, dryness, or redness. Common causes include allergies, irritants, or eczema. To help soothe your baby’s skin, keep it moisturized with baby-friendly lotions and avoid harsh soaps. Dress your little one in breathable fabrics and try to identify any potential allergens. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it’s essential to seek professional advice from a pediatrician for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

I have a pimple on my lower side of penis, it is there from last 2 months, but from last 3 days it started paining and swelling ( white pus ). Is it normal or I need serious medication. Please help me
Male | 20
It's not normal to have a pimple on the penis for 2 months, especially if it's now painful and swollen with white pus. It might be an infection. Keep the area clean and dry. Avoid picking or squeezing it. Using water that has been warmed or a warm compress can help in soothing it. If you have a condition that doesn't get better or gets worse, it's better to see a dermatologist.

I am 20 years old. I using the steroids cream in long years. I cant stop now. How to stop it?
Female | 20
Long-term use of this steroid cream should be undergone with caution because it may result in some negative effects e.g. skin thinning and/or infections. The use of the cream should be halted gradually. Cutting the dose of the cream immediately may lead to the onset of the withdrawal symptoms. This calls for consulting a dermatologist.

My son has woken up from a nap with a read mark in a line. It is thick and red. I’m really worried.
Male | 0
Your son may have a skin issue called "dermatographia," meaning, "skin writing." When pressure touches the skin, red lines appear. It's not severe and commonly disappears by itself. Perhaps he laid on something leaving a mark. If it disturbs him, or worsens, consulting a dermatologist would be wise.

Hello ,I do waxing after delivery my baby is 2.5 months old and after waxing I am having rashes on full body very itchy what is the reason behind this
Female | 28
You seem to have an allergic response after your waxing. Wax ingredients can irritate sensitive skin, causing itchy rashes all over. Try a gentle lotion and don't scratch irritated spots. However, if rashes worsen or persist, consult a dermatologist promptly for proper evaluation and treatment.

It is necessary to see a dermatologist for the rashes. These rashes could be an indication that you have sexually transmitted infections like genital warts or herpes. Do not self-diagnosing or treating at home because it could aggravate the condition.

I am 23 yrs old girl who is suffering from pcos , obesity . I have hair on my body as well as facial hairs . My weight is increasing. Please tell me how to control this facial hair growth without medicine This is my question I request you to please revert me the answer.
Female | 23
It sounds like you might be suffering from PCOS which is caused by hormonal disturbances. Excess body hair and obesity are the most typical signs. Unwanted hair on the chin and the upper lips may be a result of high levels of male hormones in your body. To manage hair growth without medication you could try gentle methods such as shaving, waxing, or threading. These will grant you temporary relief as the hair is removed.
