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.

Many things can cause skin issues such as allergies, infections, or genetics. My advice is that you should see a dermatologist. They will be able to give you some specific treatment options and provide care instructions based on what is going on with your particular case.

Problem for rashes plse chat on whatsapp
Male | 21
Rashes may appear due to various conditions such as allergies, infections, or skin conditions. Common symptoms can be redness, itching, and inflammation. To handle less severe cases of the disease, you should keep your skin clean and moisturized and try to avoid irritants. Hydrocortisone creams that are available at pharmacies can be used in order to reduce the irritation. When the rash gets worse, lasts for more than a few days, or is accompanied by fever or severe discomfort, go to see a doctor immediately as it is very important. The latter will figure out the proper cause of the disease and suggest a course of treatment that will suit your individual requirements best. If you do this, you will be sure that the dermatologist will give you the best treatment for your skin's health.

Hey doctor im sami and I'm feeling discomfort to touch my penis gland corona there is a sharp pain no any visble rashes and redness and i have fungal infection on jock and stomach near by private area
Male | 27
The feeling of unease, and the excruciating pain in the glans of your penis, however, might be attributed to this too. Moreover, fungi drive them to the irritation and pain path. Beware of the cleanliness of the area and drying, wear only airy clothes, and use the antifungal creams prescribed by doctor as these ways are also extremely effective. It is essential to cure it to be healthy and happy again!

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. .

There is peeling of the skin on the nails of the hands and the nails are also melting slightly
Female | 52
Skin peeling around the nails, and sometimes the actual nails can happen if hands are exposed to chemicals or water, frequently. Another possible reason is a lack of vitamins or a skin condition. To address this, just practice these things — avoid chemicals, wear gloves, eat healthy, and keep the skin of the hands moist. You can also consult a dermatologist for further treatments.

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 an irritation on my inner thighs. Need to consult with doctor
Male | 31
This can happen due to friction from clothes, sweating, or reactions to certain products. Symptoms may include redness, irritation, or a burning sensation. To help, wear loose, comfortable pajamas, wash the affected area, and apply a gentle, unscented moisturizer if the skin is dry. If irritation continues or worsens, hydrotherapy—use water for wellness and relaxation.

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 was 26. I was obese. Recently i found crack on my under foot in upper part.
Female | 26
You are suffering from cracked heels. One of the reasons cracked heels can appear is if your skin gets very dry or if you’re carrying extra weight. Cracked heels are painful and may even bleed. To assist, you can consider using a gentle moisturizer on your feet daily and wearing comfortable shoes. However, if the cracks are too deep or the wounds are slow to heal, it is advisable to visit a dermatologist.

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.

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.

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.
