Is a small whitehead on foreskin normal?
I have discovered a small lump on my foreskin. It looks like a small whitehead and doesn't hurt unless it's poked about, similar to a spot. Just want to know if this is normal?

You described a whitehead as a clogged sebaceous gland or harmless zit. These occur from time to time when sweat and oil get trapped. Unless it hurts or grows larger there is likely nothing to worry about. Keep it clean and don’t pick at it. Talking to a dermatologist is always a good idea if it changes or you are uneasy.

Hello doctor I have 2 marks on my nose earlier it was small and light but Now they are dark and big , and I really want to remove them. So kindly give me advice they look really very bad.
Female | 37
We need to see picture of the marks and we need to know the reason behind marks if it's previous chicken pox or accident or any infection. Based on location sometimes we might remove them or sometimes we might give some sufficient filling part or we have TCA peel so we need to decide based on depth location and reason behind marks. Please share the pictures. You can also visit plastic surgeon near your area.

How can. I slim my face. And also tell treatment of skin rashes due to dryness
Female | 17
Losing extra weight is key to slimming your face. You should eat nutritious foods and work out frequently. Reduce unhealthy foods high in fat or sugar. Make exercise a daily habit. Dry skin can lead to irritated rashes, appearing red, rough, and itchy. Your skin lacks moisture, causing this issue. Use moisturizer daily. You can also visit a dermatologist.

I am 23 yrs old female and from past 2- 3 days iam observing white patches on my face. I was using Hydroinone Tretinion and Mometasone furoate cream, after using this cream I feel I got this white patches. Can i know why its
Female | 23
The combination of hydroquinone, retinoid, and mometasone cream, often called Clubmen's formula, is used for hyperpigmented disorders like melasma. This medication is available over the counter under various brand names. It is the common side effect of the cream that it causes depigmentation or white patches, thinning of the skin, prominent blood vessels, acne, increased hair and also increased sensitivity to sun. Please do not use any such creams without consulting a dermatologist.

on Saturday morning I bought some trousers from a second-hand market, and I tried them on there at the market after about 6 hours I noticed some red bumps that scratched my lower leg, there are about 8 red bumps of about 1 cm on the whole leg
Male | 15
Redness and bumps appeared on your leg. It seems like an allergic reaction to materials in those trousers. The red marks could be hives or dermatitis from contact. Wash with gentle soap and water. Cool compresses reduce irritation and swelling. If itchy, antihistamines provide relief. However, if symptoms worsen instead of improving, visit a dermatologist for proper treatment

Hi Doc , I have noticed some smal red dots in my penis . What could be?
Male | 46
Sometimes dots appear on the penis, but don't panic. Maybe they're irritated follicles or small blood vessels. They could also signal eczema or a fungal infection. If you feel pain, itchiness, burning, or the dots persist, talk to a dermatologist. They'll identify the cause and recommend treatment. .

Today in the morning I had a little mark like I was bitten by something one at the back of my hand the other near my elbow now both are really swollen and painful but they are not itchy as in the morning what could that be and what do I do cause I'm worried
Female | 18
You may be a victim of an insect or spider bite. In some cases, though, these bites can make a person swell and feel pain. Although it's not itchy right now, the reaction can be different in the future. To help, clean the bites gently with soap and water, apply a cold compress like a cool cloth, and take over-the-counter pain relievers for the discomfort. If the swelling doesn't go away or new symptoms appear, it's better to contact a dermatologist for advice.

I have a 14 year old daughter who has a had a itchy raised red puffy bump on her left shoulder the last two days. It happened in the middle of her basketball game. It has gotten worse from her bra strap and shirt rubbing against it. I want to know what it is and how to fix this mystery.
Female | 14
Looks like your daughter has a skin irritation that is contact dermatitis. One common type is contact dermatitis, which is caused by something rubbing against the skin and triggering redness, itching, and swelling. This thing might be her bra strap or shirt, which is the cause of the rash on her skin when it rubs against it while she is playing basketball, To make her feel better, try to use a soothing lotion or cream and let her put on clothes that are not tight enough to prevent rubbing as much as possible.

Female | 33
It seems to be a fungal infection in your left armpit. I suggest you see a dermatologist to look into the rash, and get a medication accordingly. Deodorant should also be avoided as it might make the situation worse.

I have hair loss due to ‘Alopecia’ so doctor told to apply panderm cream is that ok
Male | 28
Alopecia causes hair loss. Panderm cream is not recommended because it contains steroids and can have side effects on the skin, potentially making the condition worse. It's better to see a dermatologist for proper treatment options like topical medications or injections.

Currently I am having fungal infection in thighs, can I do exercises for tomorrow for weight loss current weight is 65 kg with age 17
Male | 17
Fungal infections in areas like your thighs cause redness, itchiness, and rashes. These infections thrive in warm, moist environments. It's crucial to avoid exercises until the infection clears up. Sweat can worsen the condition. To treat it effectively, keep the affected area clean and dry. Use an antifungal cream as directed. Wear loose, breathable clothing. Once the infection resolves completely, you can resume exercises for weight loss without concerns.

What to do to get rid of blackheads on the face. And to brighten the face
Male | 25
Blackheads are minuscule black spots on your skin. They are a result of oil and dead skin blocking the pores on the skin. To clarify them, gently wash the pores once daily, never neglect the exfoliation part, and the third thing is to apply a non-come-genic moisturizer. Besides you can try using salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide products. Don't forget to wash your face thoroughly and moisturize it.

round like shaped rash and itchy butt cheek, what do i do?
Female | 22
Experiencing itchiness around your bottom? The culprit could be a fungal infection termed ringworm - presenting as a circular, irritating rash. Its emergence often stems from excessive perspiration or inadequate cleanliness of the area. Fortunately, treatment is straightforward: gently cleanse the affected region and apply an antifungal cream or powder. To accelerate healing, opt for loose, breathable undergarments, allowing proper ventilation.

Male | 19
You seem to have a long-lasting pimple, known as a cyst. These pimples linger, painful, and deep within the skin. To aid healing, gently cleanse the area. Don't squeeze or pick at it. After two years, the cyst persists. Seeking advice from a dermatologist is recommended if discomfort continues.

Common procedures are laser therapy, excision or cryotherapy depending on the type and size of moles. Based on the methods chosen, number of moles or location can vary dramatically in costs. It is essential to seek advice from a dermatologist or any skincare specialist who could analyze your situation, suggest appropriate options and give an idea of the possible costs. The removal procedure should be carried out by a licensed practitioner to ensure safety and reduce the degree of scarring.

Hi my 12 year old boy has a swollen lower lip that's been swollen for months
Female | 37
A swollen lower lip lasting months isn't normal. It's wise you seek advice. Swelling could result from various causes: allergies, infections, or harmless growths, making eating and talking difficult. To receive proper treatment, consult a dermatologist. They'll identify the precise cause, providing suitable care. Swelling could stem from an allergic reaction to something you ate or used. Or it could indicate an infection requiring antibiotics.

Why does my tip of my scrotum have a rash looking redness as well as my testicles appear to be very red and is itchy?
Male | 17
You may have jock itch, a fungal issue. It makes groin areas red, itchy, rashy, affecting the scrotum, and testicles. In warm, moist places let it grows. Try drugstore anti-fungal creams. Clean, and dry the zone to avoid return. Jock itch thrives when sweaty, warm. Over-the-counter creams help clear up the fungus rapidly. However, keeping areas dry is crucial. That prevents future jock itch flare-ups. So cleanliness matters alongside medication.

It is suggested to consult a dermatologist on the development of dark spots on the skin even when using sunscreen. A dermatologist will have a look at your skin and determine the necessary treatment to be executed. They also can manage other problems such as low vitamin D3 levels and allergies to hay fever.
