While pigmentation is your normal skin-shade, but hyperpigmentation is darker skin tone and hypopigmentation is on lighter side. Hyperpigmentation can be treated using creams, face acids, retinoids, chemical peels, laser therapies, dermabrasion and microdermabrasion, they are advised depending on the extent to which your skin happens to be dark. They can not only free your skin of darkness, but they also carry exfoliation benefits, and can effectively hide scars, spots and sun damage. Hypopigmentation includes treatments such as dermabrasion, chemical peel, laser resurfacing and lightening gels, but you may require other kinds of treatment if at all there's some underlying cause behind lighter skin shade. Neither type can be cured with home remedies, guidance of an expert is necessary. You are given pre-treatment tips to prepare your body before undergoing any of the therapies mentioned above, and your medical profile is checked as well. Both is done to reduce the probability of you running into any kind of risk post treatment. Coming to black spots - Above treatments should be good enough. For further guidance, you can refer to our list of Skin Treatment doctors in Mumbai, or that of any other city, whichever you feel is convenient, and sought consultation services.

I am a 17 year old girl, recently I noticed some white small point sized or slightly bigger patches on my hips. I don't know what to do, but I'm afraid this might be some big disease.
Female | 17
It might be a common skin condition called pityriasis alba. This isn't something to worry about. Pityriasis alba can lead to pale patches on the skin, mainly on the face, neck, and arms. You can see them better in summer when your skin is darker. Dryness is what makes the skin turn lighter than it’s supposed to be, the reason for this happening is mostly because of dryness. You might also want to consider moisturizing your skin more often with lotion, or drinking plenty of water helps too. If there is no change after doing all these things then go to a dermatologist who will advise on treatment methods for this condition.

For the already mentioned purpose, cleaning the area regularly, wearing breathable underwear, and staying away from harsh soaps are recommended.

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.

some allergy suddenly arised from my body it caused my finger and arm swallow
Female | 17
When certain allergies occur, body parts tend to swell. This might have been caused by contact with something like a plant or chemical that does not agree with you. Ensure the affected area is washed properly. To reduce the swelling, you can use an antihistamine. Seek immediate medical attention if things get worse or if you find it hard to breathe.

Lesions on pennis , like cuts and skin was ruptured
Male | 24
You might get them from rough handling during sex, infections, or any skin conditions. People get cuts on their penises in many ways. To heal them, you need to wash the area and protect it from getting irritated more. You can also use a plain skin cream without perfume in it. If it does not get better or it gets worse, see a dermatologist right away.

I have recently done Human Simplex virus(HSV) 1+2 igM serum test it come back <0.500 and another Human Simplex Virus (HSV) 1+2 igG serum test it come back 0.87 , sir could you please explain this , am I Infected or not
Male | 25
The IgM test result which is less than 0.500 means there are no recent infections. However, the IgG test result of 0.87 indicates a past infection. You might commonly have symptoms such as blisters, pain, and itching. Nevertheless, treatments are available to cope with the symptoms and outbreaks, so, don't hesitate to contact a dermatologist for more help.

Is this above prescription okay for me to take as i dont want my breastfeeding baby to be harmed in any way
Female | 26
The darkening of the skin, dark under the eyes, and hyperpigmentation you mentioned can happen due to hormonal changes during breastfeeding. The reasons are various; it can be hormonal changes or skin sensitivity that may cause pimples. The skincare products and medications your dermatologist prescribed are the right ones for your condition during breastfeeding. The facewash, serum, and sunscreen can contribute not only to the health of your skin but also to its protection from harmful sun rays.

Two days before i had intercourse with my wife.next day morning my penis foreskin was huge nos of white pimples.its sometimes itching.its any infection affected in parts.please clarify
Male | 36
It sounds like you could be experiencing balanitis, inflammation of the foreskin of the penis, often caused by irritation or a yeast infection. Symptoms may include white pimples, swelling, and itchiness. Keeping the area clean and dry, avoiding irritants, and using over-the-counter antifungal cream can help relieve symptoms. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, it's crucial to seek immediate advice from a dermatologist for detailed assessment and medical treatment.

I have rashes on my thigh and tip of my penis itchy
Male | 22
A yeast infection seems likely. Yeast can grow excessively, causing reddish rashes and itchiness. Warm, damp areas like the groin are prone. Keeping dry, wearing loose clothing, avoiding sugary foods - these steps aid. Over-the-counter antifungal creams may also help. However, if symptoms persist, consult a dermatologist for further assistance.

Hello Doctor, I am a 30 year old female and I recently noticed open pores on my face, what should I do? My daily routine is: use himalaya neem face wash, then moisturize skin and I happen to have oily & dull skin. Can you pls suggest what should I do? Thank you!
Female | 30
I would like to start by recommending a daily skincare routine for the problems you are facing. Start with Oil control cleansers with AHA's or BHA's to clear the oil and dirt from your face 2-4 times a day. Use a Vit C serum or day serum in the morning if you are at home and you can add sunscreen on top if you are going to go out and will get exposed to sunlight. Evening, after wash use a toner to neutralize and calm your skin. Before bed, use a coat of moisturizer and additional retinol-based anti-aging serum to finish. If it's a major concern, please contact a dermatologist.

I am 21 year old and i think i have balanitis on penis clearley as all the symptoms shows its balanitis only please can you help me with some medication so it can be cured
Male | 21
Balanitis happens when the skin covering the head of the penis becomes red, itchy, and swollen. Sometimes there is a discharge with it. Poor hygiene or a yeast infection usually causes this. To help it go away, clean the area every day and keep it dry. Also, use a mild soap and water. You can try an antifungal cream too. But if that doesn't work, go to a dermatologist for help.

Swallowing bathroom cleaners can be dangerous. If you did this 2 weeks ago and are still having symptoms such as stomach pain, nausea, trouble breathing, or vomiting, it's crucial to seek help immediately. Ingesting these chemicals can harm your throat, stomach, and other organs. Drink lots of water and visit a doctor right away for further treatment.

Dark skin is beautiful! However, if lightening your complexion interests you, care is essential. Sun exposure, hormonal shifts, or medication may cause natural lightening effects. For gradual, safe lightening, use dermatologist-approved gentle creams.
