I suggest that you visit a dermatologist who is capable of diagnosing the type and level of the fungal infection. The treatment plan will be based on the diagnosis. Prescription of the suitable antifungal medication will be done followed by advice on hygiene practices to prevent further infection.

Sir, I want to ask about peeling oil. Does extra strong yellow peeling oil really peel the skin???
Female | 24
This product is effective in removing the skin, yet it is extremely important to be considerate. Using strong peeling oils can cause redness, burning, and even damage to the skin. These products work by peeling off the top layer of the skin, which tends to improve skin appearance, but their wrong application can cause great trouble to the user. The best way is to consult a dermatologist before using those products to prevent side effects.

My face is turning black, I have used the sun screen.
Male | 37
You might be experiencing hyperpigmentation, where skin appears darker due to various factors like sun exposure, hormonal changes, or inflammation. Even with sunscreen, some individuals may still notice darkening. It's important to assess your skincare routine and consider factors such as the type of sunscreen and its application. Ensure you're applying it liberally and reapplying regularly, especially during prolonged outdoor activities. For persistent or concerning changes, I recommend consulting a dermatologist. They can provide personalized advice and treatment options to help your skin recover and restore its natural tone.

I feel itching all over my body and the rashes disappear suddenly after few minutes and again appears after few hours
Female | 17
You may have a medical condition known as hives. They usually cause an itchy rash that comes and goes within a couple of minutes. They are sometimes caused by allergies, stress, or infections. Over-the-counter antihistamines and triggering agent avoidance, like certain foods or products, can help with the itching. If hives are still there or getting worse, a visit to dermatologist would be good.

I have alopecia areta. On beared coin type patches
Male | 36
Alopecia areata causes patchy hair loss, which can resemble small circles or coins on the scalp and elsewhere. While the exact reason remains unclear, it is believed to stem from an autoimmune response where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles. Treatment options include topical steroids, immunotherapy, and oral medications. It's essential to consult a dermatologist who can evaluate your condition and recommend an appropriate plan tailored to your needs.

I am having a fever since yesterday and red rashes come out, then they go away and come back but still I am having trouble getting up
Female | 23
You might have a viral infection causing your fever and red rashes. That the rashes go away and come back may be a sign that the virus is still present. Through this, you will be able to alleviate the symptoms. Moreover, you can take a pill such as acetaminophen for your fever. If it doesn't get better in a couple of days, a dermatologist might have to see you.

I am 20years old I just started going through gental wart and I already start using drug and cream but I notice serious burning or painful side effect on my virginal so what onniment or drug can I used to reduce or eliminate the pain
Female | 20
The burning or pain you might be feeling is from the drugs you are using. To relieve the discomfort, you can use a mild soothing cream such as Vaseline or aloe vera gel which will help to ease the irritation and give some relief. Ensure that the region is kept dry and clean to quicken the healing process.

I have this Staphylococcus aureus.I have used antibiotics twice so far but it does not go away
Mashkull | 25
Staphylococcus aureus is one of the bacteria in your body. Symptoms to be noticed are redness, swelling, and pain with pus. Antibiotics are the main way to treat this condition, but sometimes the bacteria can develop resistance to antibiotics, which may be ineffective. In such cases, the doctor may need to switch to another antibiotic. Infection can be cured if you successfully follow the dermatologist's prescription.

I am suffering from a skin problem from the last 2 years. I have red circles and itching in my private parts. What should I do now? I have been taking medicines and ointments from the last 2 years. Still it is not cured. What should I do now?
Male | 17
The skin problem which is presented with red circles & itching in the private parts is most likely due to the fungal infection. Nowadays there are lots of such problems in fungal infections in terms of the resistance of fungal infections and also in terms of the duration of treatment that is required. Ideally, you need to go through the antifungal treatment and go to the dermatologist who will guide you with the right anti-fungal treatment for a prolonged period of time. Till all the rashes go back because even if a few rashes are also left it will come back. That is why visit the nearest dermatologist.

yellow bumps surrounding top and bottom lip
Female | 18
Yellow bumps around the lips may be a type of skin condition called Fordyce spots. They are an inconsequential and healthy product of the body that is commonly seen on the lips and is caused by the sebaceous glands. The bumps are usually without symptoms or pain. If you are worried about their look, you can visit a dermatologist for treatment options like laser therapy or topical creams.

I need a healthy clear and a glowing skin so what products or treatments should I opt for
Female | 26
For healthy skin, cleanse daily and avoid harsh irritants. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, as dehydration can make your skin look dull. Eat fruits and vegetables to get the nutrients your skin needs. Protect your skin from the sun by applying sunscreen every day. Clear, radiant skin comes from gentle cleansing, proper hydration, a nourishing diet, and sun protection.

About my thumb in my thumb nail is not growing and 2 lines are there
Female | 17
The lack of growth and the presence of lines can occur due to several factors, such as stress, nutritional deficiencies, or trauma to the area. Often, these issues are temporary and resolve on their own. However, it’s essential to ensure you’re getting proper nutrients and managing stress effectively. If the condition persists or worsens, I recommend consulting a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized advice. They can provide insights and solutions tailored to your specific needs.

Mere face par acne or pimples huai 3 years se
Male | 16
Acne can occur due to various reasons, such as hormonal changes, excess oil production, and clogged pores. Symptoms typically include bumps, redness, and sometimes discomfort on the skin. To manage this condition, consider maintaining a gentle skincare routine, avoiding harsh products, and keeping your face clean. Over-the-counter treatments containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid might help. However, since this issue has persisted for three years, it’s wise to consult a dermatologist. They can provide personalized guidance and effective treatments.

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.

Male | 20
The appearance of sagging or wrinkle skin can be lessened by improving skin tightening and plastic surgery. Collagen regeneration is done through the use of heat or energy devices that can lift and firm the skin. If you end up choosing body skin tightening, it is very imperative that you visit a doctor who specializes in this field and discuss your concerns as well as determine a good treatment plan.

I think I may have the STD/STI virus called Herpes. There are tiny little pink bumps that have been on my penis for a while now.
Male | 23
It is really important to keep monitoring and watching any changes occurring in your body. These small pink pimples that you see might be due to Herpes. Having sores, blisters, and itching are the common outcomes when you get an infection. A virus caused by herpes simplex is spread by the transmission of proteins from the infected source to the recipient's body. But the only certain way till the moment it is still unconfirmed is to get tested by a professional health worker.
