Why do I have discolored nail with no trauma?
I have had a discolored/ black nail all my life without any injury or signs of trauma to the nailbed. I was wondering what is it because I've seen online that people are saying its a type of melanoma.

Discolored nails without an obvious reason may worry you, but it's not always melanoma. Sometimes, excess pigment causes this condition known as melanonychia. Although melanoma could cause discoloration, it's rare. A dermatologist's opinion provides assurance, so getting it checked is wise.

If you have active pimples, acne, and dark spots, it’s best to see a dermatologist. They can give you proper treatment to clear your skin and reduce dark spots. Avoid using harsh products on your own as they might make things worse.

Alopecia areata is a disease that results in the loss of hair in certain patches on the head. It may come and go without warning.

White scare on foreskin some time itching
Male | 24
It appears that you may be suffering from thrush, a fungal infection. White patches and itching on the foreskin are some of the most typical symptoms of it. This might occur when the balance of yeast is uneven which is why the pathogenic fungi will multiply. The use of a clean and dry area may eliminate this risk. It's best to consult a dermatologist who can prescribe anti-fungal medication tailored to your condition.

For about 12-13 days I have red dot like spots on both my hands. There is severe itching. Wherever I scratch, it spreads further. I took local treatment but there is no difference. This is allergy or worm infection
Female | 24
You might be experiencing a skin condition known as scabies. Scabies are caused by minuscule parasites that dig through the skin, leading to red dots and extreme itching. Getting the problem worse is the scrabbling that can mites spread. Get a dermatologist's prescription cream which kills the mites immediately. Do not scratch to avoid contagion. All your things including clothes, bedding, and towels, ensure they are washed with hot water so there is no recurrence of infestation.

Dhoop me face black ho gya hai kaun si cream ya face wash ya aur koi suggestion ho to btaye
Male | 35
Sunburn is one of the reasons it can happen. Prolonged exposure to the sun can cause your skin to become dark. So, you can apply a cream with aloe vera or cucumber to cuddle your skin. Another recommendation is to wear sunblock when you are going outdoors to keep your face protected.

I'm 23 years old female, I have pimple and marks last few years, I used lot of cream but no response, what can I do?
Female | 23
Pimples are caused by clogged hair follicles due to oil and dead skin cells. Stress, hormonal changes, and genetics among many other factors can be brought to action. It is crucial to clean your face twice a day with a mild cleanser and stop pricking at them. Think of applying products with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. Keep it up by hydrating and eating a balanced diet. In case you are still having a problem, it would be good to consult a dermatologist to get some valuable advice.

Hypertrophic Acne scar on both sides nose only ...
Male | 25
You seem to have hypertrophic acne scars on both sides of your nose. These raised, bumpy scars happen when too much collagen forms during healing. Treatments like laser therapy or corticosteroid injections can help flatten and soften them. However, you must protect your skin from the sun, as sunlight makes scars more noticeable.

The frontal part of tongue get reddened when spicy food is taken. Blood stains from teeth. What symptom is it?
Male | 17
Tongue inflammation, which may be caused by the consumption of hot meals, is the problem you are facing. This may lead to irritation with redness or feel discomfort. Blood coming from your teeth could be a sign of gum problems or the result of abrasions caused by hard surfaces. To overcome this problem, think about refraining from eating very spicy foods just for a while and maintaining good oral health by using soft toothbrushes and flossing. Drinking plenty of fluids can also be of aid here. In this case of continuing/prolonged or increased symptoms, You may consult a dermatologist too.

Female | 22
Skin irritation and pigmentation changes could be causing the two different colors. To solve this, stop using the cream right away and use a mild moisturizer instead. Also, always apply sunscreen before going out into the sun each morning or afternoon. If it doesn’t help, see a dermatologist for more advice.

I am 24 years old and I have some weird looking bumps on my left hand that look like warts. 3 of them formed on my hand 5 years ago, and the rest of them appeared in the last 8 months.
Male | 24
Little bumpy skin growths on your left hand might come from a virus called HPV. Harmless warts are widespread viral infections. Sometimes they itch or hurt. Over-the-counter medicines, freezing therapies, or lasers treat them. If bothersome, consult a dermatologist about remedies.

Eczema on your thigh or leg can be due to triggers like allergies, dry skin, or even stress. When it comes back after treatment, it could mean ongoing exposure to triggers or that the condition is chronic. Please visit a dermatologist for proper management and advice on preventing flare-ups.

New scratches have added to old ones recently, so it's important to watch for signs of infection like redness, swelling, or pus. Clean the wound with soap and water, and monitor it closely. If you notice any of these symptoms, see a doctor right away.

Hello! I'd like to consult on a medication called Doxycycline I took 2 doses wrongly by accident (2 pills 2 times a day instead of 1 pill 2 times a day) Should I wait 24 hours and take the next dose in the morning? or should I take my next dose now? also, could I check the effectiveness of doxycycline? (I have taken doxycycline before and I'm concerned it might not be effective) Thank you!
Male | 24
It's important to use medicines the right way if you want them to work well. Too much doxycycline might give you a stomach ache, make you feel sick, or throw up. If you have taken 2 doses at once, just skip that particular time and take your next dose when it is due. Even after this drug may still be effective but not in the correct manner as before; so always consult with your doctor if doubtful about its efficacy.

Doctor ne mujy skin peel off kerny K ley serum Diya Tha serum zyada use hony se face jal Gaya ha
Female | 22
Your skin burned due to excessive serum usage for peeling. Burned skin resembles sunburn - red, painful, sensitive. To heal, discontinue serum, gently wash your face with cool water and apply soothing aloe vera lotion. Protect skin from sun exposure. If burning persists or worsens, inform a dermatologist for further assistance.
