Answered on 6th Sept '24
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.

Fungle infection is start from 2 year ago
Other | 28
Fungal infections may be reassured by symptoms like the reddish color, itching, and wavy skin. On the whole, they are caused by excess moisture or a weakened immune system. To deal with it, you will require antifungal treatment that will kill the fungus. Focus on cleaning and drying up the infected area, then wear clothes that are only fitted to you to help it heal.

The head of my penis is itchy, and there are red spots on it. I havent had sex with multiple people at least 2 years, and my girlfriend is also faithful. Basicly it is not something too serios i guess. But still it is enoying and hurting a little bit also. So i need help figuring out what to do?
Male | 18
You might have balanitis, which is capable of causing itching, red spots, and also discomfort on the head of the penis. Balanitis can occur due to the lack of proper hygiene, irritants, or infections. To assist with this, clean the area with mild soap and water, keep it dry, and avoid irritants like scented soaps or tight clothes. If the symptoms remain, it is advisable to visit a dermatologist for a more detailed diagnosis and treatment.

I think I have herpes what should I do
Male | 22
Herpes is a common virus. It causes itchy, painful sores. These blisters often appear around your mouth or private parts. You can get it through close contact. Herpes may seem bad, but doctors can give you antiviral medicine. Using protection during sex helps prevent spreading it too. Good hygiene habits are also key.

Theres a small red dots on my pennis and its dry..somtimes it goes away and sometimes it seens.Even its not causing any pain pr itching.
Male | 26
Small red dots appearing and disappearing on the penis without irritation or discomfort are likely penile papules. These benign growths frequently occur in males. Occasionally, they may seem dry. Their exact origin remains unclear, but they don't typically indicate serious health issues. Maintaining proper hygiene and avoiding harsh cleansers or moisturizers can help manage them. However, should any changes or discomfort arise, consulting a dermatologist is important for reassurance.

Am 35 year old Getting white head like pimples on forehead
Female | 35
Those whiteheads on your forehead are probably a type of acne called comedones. The hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin cells. Skin conditions can be accompanied by small, white bumps. One way is to use mild face washes with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide which can help remedy the clogged pores.

Hello I am Jawed, I am 32 years old, height is 170cm and weight is 60 KG. I had acne on my face 10 to 11 years ago, at that time I visited a doctor and they prescribed Betamethasone Injection and it was injecting in every acne on my face separately, the effects was so fast because the acne disappeared after two to three hours after injection. This treatment co tinues 2 months, one every week with that doctor, as the effects were temporary for individual acnes on face and as well the effect was fast, after that I became addicted to it and I was injecting this particular injection to my face myself and it goes for maybe more then 6 months and then I stopped it, about 2 to 3 months later after stopping it some side effects apeared to my skin, my skin (different areas such as face-lips, eyes, hands-shoulders, legs-tighs, neck, under arms, even the private parts) become puffy, itchy, red when I wake up from sleep, and ut continues for 3 to 4 hours and then disappears, this problem is from more then 9 years sometimes it disappears for months and sometimes it comes back, whenever I take anti-allergic tablets such as cetrizine it is all ok and when I stop taking it, it appears again, simetimes the effects are so strong mean specially when it take my eysles the puffy eyes are so heavy and it become normal after 24 to 36 hours. I didn't notice any particular thing that I am allergic to that in these 9 years. I will be very greatful if your advice helps me from this bad situation. King Regards
Male | 32
Dealing with skin issues can be tough. The puffy, itchy, red skin you mentioned might be contact dermatitis. This happens when your skin is irritated by something it touches. For you, it seems the long-term Betamethasone Injection use could have triggered it. To manage it, avoid triggers - certain products or fabrics that bother your skin. Moisturize daily and use a gentle face wash. If needed, over-the-counter antihistamines may ease symptoms. Visit a dermatologist if the problems persist.

Tanning is a very common problem faced in this era. Salicyclic peel may help in treating your tan, but a proper diagnosis would make it easier to understand what your skin needs and customize solutions accordingly. You can connect with any dermatologist in Bangalore so as to understand better.

I am 28 yo female and recently got sclerotherapy done on both legs (last Wednesday so it has been over a week). My veins have gotten worse, they are purple and more visible and quite sensitive to the touch. There is no bruising. My dermatologist said I may have had an allergic reaction to the treatment and suggested I get antihistamines. Will the veins subside?
Female | 28
Veins do appear more visible naturally after sclerotherapy treatment, but they usually improve over time as the body reabsorbs the treated veins. Its best to discuss your concerns with your dermatologist and follow the recommended treatment. Avoid prolonged sitting or standing and to wear compression stockings as recommended to decrease swelling and heal faster.

Having allergy since few days skin rashes only
Male | 17
Allergic reactions bring skin discomfort - rashes, redness, itchiness, bumps. Foods, plants, pet dander often trigger them. Avoid allergy sources. Cool compresses soothe rashes. Antihistamines help, too. But if symptoms persist, visit a dermatologist.

I have skin tags on my perineum
Female | 27
Skin tags near the perineum are generally innocuous. They resemble small protrusions of skin. Friction and rubbing of the skin causes their formation. At times, itchiness or bleeding may occur if irritated. If they cause discomfort, a doctor can readily remove them safely. Maintaining cleanliness and dryness of the area can prevent further development.

Iam getting pimples on my face iam using BETAMETHASONE VALERATE AND NEOMUCIN SKIN CREAM. BETNOVATE-N
Male | 14
You should think twice about using BETAMETHASONE VALERATE AND NEOMUCIN SKIN CREAM (BETNOVATE-N) for this. Although these ointments contain corticosteroids, which are known for reducing inflammation, they can exacerbate your acne in the long run because of steroid-induced rosacea or any other reason. Pores get blocked with oil, bacteria, and dead skin cells, forming pimples. To bring your skin back to normal, it would be wise to use a mild cleanser and an oil-free moisturizer. More importantly, avoid touching them at all costs.

I have no hair growth my hair is frize dry and thin
Female | 27
When your hair is very thin, dry, and frizzy, that may be due to several reasons. Factors could include anxiety, junk food, or overuse of strong hair treatment items. A balanced diet with proper eating habits, ways to manage stress, and the use of gentle hair products are all part of your prevention program. Visit the dermatologist to talk about suitable products.

I am 17 years old My new is kapil I have pimple on my chest and back what should I do I very pain full and itching
Male | 17
The pimples on your skin grow when the oil glands get blocked. Your first step in resolving this issue is keeping good personal hygiene by showering daily and using the right soap to suit your skin. One thing to avoid is the temptation to pick or scratch the pimples since it will cause them to persist rather than heal. On the other hand, wearing roomy clothing will let your skin breathe, hence you will not have the problem. For the people out there who need them the most, they likely don't even feel comfortable asking you for that so the effect would be squandered. If these steps don't work, visit a dermatologist.

Male | 25
Rashes on the penis could be because of many things. Sometimes it's an irritation caused by soap or laundry detergent. Other times, it could be a skin condition such as eczema or psoriasis. There's also the chance that it's due to a fungal or bacterial infection. To be on the safe side, you should visit a dermatologist. They will be able to prescribe you the correct treatment that will help you get rid of the rash.

Getting white small dots marks on penis
Male | 19
White tiny spots appeared on the penis. No need to worry - these are Fordyce spots. They are common and harmless, small oil glands on the skin. If not bothering, leave them alone. But if feel concerned or uncomfortable, see a dermatologist for advice.

I am 18 year old and have itching in body for 1 month
Male | 18
You have been suffering from an intense heat all over your body for a month. This could be due to dry skin, insect bites, or an allergic reaction. Use a soft and gentle soap and moisturizing lotion, and avoid scratching. If the itching continues, you might want to seek out a dermatologist for advice.
