You may have developed a skin reaction to the post-exposure prophylaxis tablets. Reddish areas on the glans of the penis may indicate irritation or an allergy. To assist with this, you can use a mild, fragrance-free moisturizer or a hydrocortisone cream to soothe the skin. If the patches do not go away and worsen, consult a dermatologist.

Peeling skin accompanied by white spots might be a sign of numerous abnormalities of the skin. The dermatologist will do the diagnosis correctly and advise on a suitable treatment.

My age is 27 .I have acne problem for around 10 yrs..Can i take tretinoin tablet 5mg lifelong on a daily basis..this stops my acne breakouts but if i stop it again my acne starts coming again. Is it ok to take any tablets on a daily basis to prevent acne breakouts
Male | 25
Acne is red bumps on the skin. It is common for young people like you. Acne happens when skin makes lots of oil and gets blocked. Taking tretinoin tablets for a long time is not a good idea. It is better to find why the skin gets bumps. Maybe try new skin routines with dermatologist's help.

Black vertical line on the right thumb of 2 yrs old boy. Line is growing as nail grows. It started in sept 2020 and by Feb line covered full nail. No nail trauma or any history of such line in family.
Male | 2
It is possible that the black vertical line on the boy's thumb nail is a result of a melanonychia striata, which is a linear nail melanin pigmentation. It is relatively common in children and is generally harmless. However, it is important to have it evaluated by a doctor, especially if it is growing, to rule out any underlying medical conditions.

I am 18 years old , I don't know why now a days I'm feeling that my lips are becoming swollen and red and very itichy or painful. Stomatitis in inner upper and lower lips I guess .
Female | 18
Looks like it could be stomatitis, which can lead to swollen, red, itchy, or even painful lips. The reasons for this can be irritation, allergies, infections, or the lack of nutrients. Try eating bland and not acidic or spicy foods, keep drinking enough water, and think about using lip balm with calming ingredients like aloe vera or coconut oil. If the symptoms persist or worsen, visit a dermatologist.

I have been experiencing itching all over my body. It started months ago after being exposed to someone. I tried treating it with all sorts of medication it doesn't go away.my skin looks dry and last year I was on oratane for period of 7 months
Female | 27
Excessive persistent itching throughout your body can become very irritating. It may worsen due to dry skin especially after a drug like Oratane. Sometimes the cause of itching could be allergies or skin conditions. Make sure to use mild creams that will keep your skin moist and avoid taking hot showers. You may have to see a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Yes you can have budget creams in the form of moisturizer, pigment reduction cream containing polyhydroxy acids, and a good sunscreen with both UVA as well as UVB protection. For the scar, you can use antiscar gel containing silicon

This will then require a medical specialist to assess the swelling and find out what causes it. It is recommended to visit a dermatologist in such cases, who can detect and treat skin diseases. However, do not attempt self diagnosis

I'm a 21 year old male I have small white patches on the top of my penis along with some red dots and the urethra is inflamed as well as the foreskin and a slight burning sensation when peeing as well as frequent urination and a clear discharge
Male | 21
You might have a condition called balanitis. This issue occurs when the penis' foreskin becomes inflamed and red, and, in some cases, white patches can appear. The burning of the urine and the clear discharge may also be the result of this. Balanitis may occur due to hygiene issues, infections, or skin problems. Wash the area regularly and dry it, not use soaps that are too harsh, and prefer loose clothing. If the symptoms continue, a dermatologist can give medicine to make them go away.

palm and foot feel extremly hot and feel irritation on foot
Female | 36
You may have peripheral neuropathy, a nerve disorder. Your hands and feet feel hot, irritated. Other symptoms: numbness, tingling, burning. Diabetes is a common cause. But vitamin deficiencies or nerve damage could be reasons too. Keep feet cool, wear comfy shoes. Treat any underlying health issues. See a dermatologist for diagnosis and proper treatment.

Stitches on web of hand have opened and now there is pus and earlier a large red mass on stiches
Male | 14
You may have an infection in the stitches on your hand. When pus comes out, it indicates that there is probably bacteria which is causing the infection. This might have occurred if the wound was not kept clean. If there was a large red lump previously, it could have been an abscess. It’s crucial to have this seen by medical professional because, without proper care, things like these can worsen.

I have really big air blisters on both my big toes
Male | 18
Foot blisters often happen when shoes rub against the skin. Big air blisters on your big toes can be particularly uncomfortable. To help them heal, try cushioned bandages and well-fitting shoes. Don't pop them yourself, that risks infection. Visit a dermatologist if you need to.

Hello doctor please I have STI which is itching me seriously and I have reddish pimples on my pennis itching me
Male | 30
You may be suffering from a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that can lead to the problem of open wounds and eczema on the penis. These signs might be a clue to a syndrome called herpes or genital warts. These infections can be spread from one person to another through sexual contact. Diagnosis and treatment should be done by a sexologist. It is the best decision to put away sexual activity until you visit a doctor.

Good day doctor. My 3 months old baby had itchy blister-like rashes on her feet and other parts of her body. Ive been using triple action cream(anti-inflammatory,fungi and bacteria) it will dry up and new ones will erupt. Dome rashes look ringworm
Female | 3 months
Your little one may have eczema. This condition causes itchy rashes that look like blisters on the skin. It is often caused by dryness; however, there could also be other triggers such as irritants in soaps used during bathing the baby among others. Use mild soap when bathing them and moisturize their skin more often than usual. To relieve itching, wrap them lightly in clothes made from light fabrics like cotton. If these signs persist after considering these measures then don’t hesitate to seek help from a pediatrician.

My ureta and upper lips side red but no symptoms its dangerous ???
Female | 22
If your urethra and upper lip are red but you have no symptoms, then it isn't necessarily dangerous. However, the redness may sometimes occur on the skin due to the irritating action of soaps, lotions, and spicy foods. The area has to be protected from irritants while keeping it clean. If the symptoms do not go away, or you experience any discomfort, you should consult a dermatologist.

i have dead skin constantly pealling off my toes and a couple of cuts at the bottom of each toe and in-between the toes too
Male | 43
You probably developed athlete's foot. This fungal infection grows between toes, warm and moist spots. Peeling skin signifies it. Cuts are another symptom. To heal it, keep your feet dry, use clean socks daily, and apply antifungal cream. Clearing it takes time. Be patient. Stick with the treatment regimen.

Your daughter likely has ringworm, a fungal skin infection. Itchy, scaly red patches indicate this condition. Keeping feet dry and clean helps healing. Using antifungal cream as advised by a dermatologist is wise. Regularly wash socks, and shoes to stop spreading.

Male | 17
The sign appears that you perhaps have an allergy to the Caladryl cream. On the other hand, I suggest you should stop the lotion use immediately and go to the dermatologist for a thorough examination and necessary treatment. The doctor who should consult for this disease would be a dermatologist.

I'm 28 years old male and I'm using extra strong peeling oil on my face for two days and I get a skin irritation, redness and black spots on my all over face and I stop using the product.... What can I do now to my face now
Male | 28
It seems the strong peeling oil you have used is aggravating your skin. Issues such as irritation, redness, and dark patches arise when the products’ concentration is excessive for your skin type. To make your skin feel soft, cleanse it gently with a soft and hydrating cleanser, and then apply fragrance-free moisturizer. The sun’s rays can burn your skin, especially if you are sensitive to it. Alert the doctor to the prolonged irritation problem or, even better, see the dermatologist for a personalized treatment plan.
