What are red dots with black centers on my genital area?
I have red dots on my shaft (penis) and I can't figure out what they are, I've looked at pictures (regrettably) and none of them look like what I have. My first thought was pimples/acne, because I haven't had a good shower schedule nor have I had a good diet, but they don't look like pimples, they have black dots in the middle. I don't think it's itchy, at least the 4-5 bumps on the shaft, but I have maybe 2 or 3 on my scrotum that itch though. I thought bugs might be the issue but I've thoroughly checked my room and there are none. In terms of how they look, they're red, no white, 1 has black in the middle (maybe a growing hair?). I don't think it's any STIs since me and my girlfriend haven't had sex/sexual contact in months, it doesnt look like most of the ones i looked up, and this is only appearing now. I just don't know what to do about this and I need help diagnosing since I don't have the money for a doctors appointment.

It seems you're showing some alarming symptoms. The red bumps with black centers may be due to folliculitis (inflamed hair follicles), burn or a mild fungal disorder. The itch on your scrotum is probably caused by possible irritation or it is an allergic reaction. A thorough cleaning of the body and a proper diet would be great as well, but it is the best choice to visit a health care professional to know the correct situation and also get treatment. They have the capability to provide the relevant care and the necessary reassurance. As health should be your priority, always think about getting assistance when you have a problem.

Can I use bleach on face if I am under treatment for verrucca plana?
Female | 21
Don't put bleach on your face if you have verruca plana. That skin issue happens when a virus infects your cells. It creates odd growths. Harsh bleach irritates skin more, making problems severe. Follow your doctor's advice precisely. Treat your skin gently and patiently.

Nail black lines any harmfull dises
Male | 16
The black lines on your nails may be due to a condition called linear melanonychia. To describe it in layman's terms, it can be a black or brown streak on your nail. It can result from traumas to the nail, mole, or even some medications. If such a symptom appears, it is best to get it checked by a dermatologist for safety.

Can an itchy rash with raised white bumps on the arms (which flatten a bit and turn more red with mometosone after itching) be scabies instead of eczema? What about if at the same time on the belly there is a flat rash of red dots?
Female | 19
An itchy red rash with raised bumps may indicate scabies, not eczema. Scabies result from tiny mites burrowing into the skin, prompting itchiness and bumps. Red dots on your belly also suggest scabies spread. Visiting a dermatologist is crucial for proper diagnosis. They can prescribe medicines killing mites, and relieving itchiness. Scabies requires medical attention, unlike typical eczema.

Female | 30
I understand you're dealing with skin itching. Itching can occur when your skin becomes dry and rough, often due to not drinking enough water, using harsh soaps, or cold weather. To manage it, make sure to drink plenty of water, apply moisturizer gently, and avoid harsh soaps. Also, protect your skin from the cold by wearing gloves and scarves.

I had one pimple in my lips and I break it .now my lips become so swelling and then i went to hospital they give allergy tablets but no result for me
Male | 31
Most often, this reaction is due to the inflammation or the infection. Even though antihistamines are one alternative, they may fail to be of use if edema is due to something else. To make you feel more comfortable, clean and moisturize the affected area first and foremost. Steer clear of irritants and think twice before you squeeze any more out. If the swelling persists or worsens, see a dermatologist to get the issue diagnosed correctly.

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 18 years old l have used many medicines for acne but haven't changed what should I do?
Female | 18
Acne occurs when the pores get clogged with oil and bacteria. Having a bunch of medications and no benefits can be a terrible thing. It is crucial to keep in mind that everyone's skin is unique. Often an easy skincare program using mild products is the right route. Eliminate harsh chemicals and see a dermatologist to provide you with individualized recommendations.

Meri skin bhut dullness ho gyi mam main kya kru Kon sa treatment best hoga Mam kaise skin ko glow kru
Female | 26
Your skin has lost its radiance. Dullness occurs when your body lacks hydration, rest, or nutrients. Increasing water intake, getting proper sleep, and consuming fruits and vegetables can revive your glow. Additionally, gentle exfoliation removes dead cells, uncovering renewed skin underneath. Don't neglect sun protection; use sunscreen.

I am a 36 year old male with a rash on his peenis and it's sore
Male | 35
You may have a rash on your penis. The rash and soreness can be linked with several conditions such as a fungal infection or skin irritation caused by soaps or detergents, to name a few. If you want to help, try to keep the area clean and dry, avoid strange products, wear loose cotton underwear, and try an antifungal cream from the pharmacy. If it does not get better, see a dermatologist.

Sir there is a pimple like thing in the middle of my chest. When I press it something comes out. What is it? It has been there for a long time.
Male | 24
You may have a sebaceous cyst, this occurs when the hair follicle is clogged and oil collects under the skin. It is usually not serious, but it can become infected if left untreated. If it bothers you, it would be best to have a dermatologist remove it safely. To prevent infection, do not try to squeeze it out at home.

Nido r Biofiber transplant
Male | 27
Nido and Biofibre are two types of alternative artificial hair transplantation procedures that can be used instead of traditional techniques. Nido incorporates the use of synthetic fibers that mimic natural hair, whereas Biofibre uses biocompatible artificial fibers to lower allergies. Both of these operations are less invasive than traditional hair transplants and can provide faster results, but there is a risk of infection or rejection by an organism. It is important to consult an expert dermatologist or hair transplant specialist in order to know the risks and benefits of these approaches for treating your peculiar case.
