Laser hair removal can be an effective way to remove unwanted facial hair. But it is important to discuss any hormonal imbalances with your doctor before beginning a treatment plan. Laser hair removal may not be the best option for you if your DHEA level is high as this could lead to an increased risk of side effects. Your doctor may suggest other options such as oral medications, topical creams, or electrolysis.

Crawling sensation like hair falling out on skin

Female | 25

The sensation of hair falling on your skin, even when there isn’t any, can be quite uncomfortable! This feeling is known as formication. It can be triggered by factors like stress, anxiety, dry skin, or medication side effects. To help manage it, try applying moisturizer regularly, use relaxation techniques to reduce stress, and if it continues to bother you, consider consulting a dermatologist.

i suffer from mouth ulcers at the moment and it happens frequently after every 13 to 15 days ,why is that ?and what to do about it, what are the remedies for it, also at times i get more than 1+ ulcers at the same time this time i had three where one healed and two are yet to,but one is also most which is in the cheeks skin but the one i have at the moment i.e on the tongue is very deep and healing very slow

Male | 20

Stress is a common cause of these types of sores, but they can also be brought on by accidentally biting your mouth or eating certain foods. To keep them from forming, it is important to try and reduce stress as much as possible while staying away from anything spicy or acidic that may irritate the area more. Good oral hygiene will help prevent future outbreaks. Over-the-counter gels are available at most stores, which will numb the pain temporarily and speed up healing times. If none of this works or if they won’t seem to go away then please see a dermatologist/dentist for further assistance.

Female | 46

Skin cancer is caused when skin cells grow in an abnormal way. The symptoms can include moles that are changing, new growths, or sores that don’t heal. The main reason is the sun. Treatment options include surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. It's important to protect your skin from the sun and see a dermatologist for regular checkups.

I have dry patches on elbow and some on breast and legs

Female | 30

You might have eczema - a skin condition that manifests as dry itchy patches. Eczema can be set off by things like rough soaps, allergies, or stress. In this case, use gentle, non-scented soap, moisturize your skin regularly, and stop scratching the dried patches. If it worsens or doesn't improve, it's a good idea to see a dermatologist.

Male | 24

Your spouse likely has a polyp in their nose, a small growth. Allergies, infections, or irritation often trigger these. Difficulty breathing and runny noses can occur. Saline sprays and humidifiers provide relief. For serious cases, a dermatologist may suggest medication or surgery to eliminate the polyp.

Male | 20

It sounds like you may be experiencing a recurrence of scabies, or it could be another skin condition. I advise you to see a dermatologist or a specialist in sexually transmitted infections (STIs) to get a proper diagnosis. They may recommend a different medication or treatment plan based on the underlying cause of your symptoms.

Female | 16

You might have a skin condition called hives. The honeycomb-like patterns could be from the red spots, which may be itchy or slightly raised. Common causes include allergic reactions, stress, or infections. To help with the itching and redness, try taking a cool shower, wearing loose clothing, and avoiding things that trigger the hives. If the hives don’t go away or worsen, it’s a good idea to see a dermatologist.

Wa Alaikum As-Salam. I am sorry your mother isn't well. Because of allergies that people develop, reaction such as sneezing, itching, and fatigue may occur. This may be a factor as well in her overall weakness, especially at her age. It’s crucial to pinpoint the exact allergens and handle symptoms effectively. My advice is to make sure she is drinking enough water, eating healthy foods, and getting enough sleep. It's important to consult with a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

I have had it for 5 to 6 years, without any change. Now I cannot remember what it looked like, and I feel like it changed a little. I don't know what to do.

Red flags for moles include changes in size, shape, or color, as well as itching or bleeding. If you notice any of these signs, it's important to see a dermatologist right away.

Like pimple type in my anal whole area

Male | 30

Seemingly it happens that little pimples materialize there in the anal area, letting you into the conclusion whether the condition is a manifestation of conjunctive factors such as folliculitis, hemorrhoids, or genital warts. These matters often occur as a result of various causes like friction, dirt, or skin irritation. To avoid feeling discomfort, be clean, be loose of the things that squeeze, and try using emollients. Nevertheless, it's a must to deal with a dermatologist to diagnose the case and decide on the right treatment, mainly if the situations fester or become worse.

Hello I am Vanitha Kotian and my hair is pretty dry and brittle.which shampoo, oil and conditioner do u recommend

Female | 52

dry and fragile hair can result from many reasons such as genetics, poor nutrition or surrounding. On the other hand, it is always advisable to see a dermatologist who can inspect your scalp and strands of hair in order to establish exactly what has caused this condition. They can then offer specific hair care products and treatments that address your needs.

Report of bilateral axilla - subcutaneous thickening in bilateral axilla with minimal edema in right axilla Few ill defined hypoechoic areas with no obvious internal echoes / vascularity noted in subcutaneous plane of bilateral axilla largest measuring ~1x0.2 cm on right side and 2.5X0.3 cm on left side - possibility of collections No communication with external skin / deep intra muscular plane What it means

Male | 31

The report reflects some folds of skin thickening under the armpit on both sides. There are also a few small areas filled with fluid, which could be collections. This may be the reason for slight swelling, especially on the right side. However, it is not a serious problem, but it is advisable to monitor it. If you experience any changes or discomfort, please contact a dermatologist.

Having pimple and painful bumps need a cream or gel.

Male | 22

Your skin issues seem to indicate pimples and sore bumps. These happen when pores get blocked, trapping bacteria inside. An over-the-counter cream or gel with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid may help. These ingredients reduce inflammation by killing bacteria on your skin's surface. Wash your face regularly to prevent clogging. Don't squeeze pimples, though - that can cause scarring. With some care, those bumps will clear up.
