Why do I have itchy red spots on hands?

I have these red spots on my hands that have been there since July but they have only gotten worse. They are very itchy and my arms and legs are also itchy recently. I thought it might have been something I’ve caught off someone as he also had a skin issue on his hands.

You may have a skin condition called eczema. Eczema can manifest itself as red and itchy spots on hands, arms, and legs. This is not something that you can pick up from another person. Stress, allergies, or dry skin are the factors that make it worse. Gentle moisturizers and avoiding the use of harsh soaps can be safe variations. If it still bothers you, visit a dermatologist.

Female | 29

There are many causes for hair loss to occur. The usual reasons are stress, a poor diet, and hormonal imbalances. Signs of hair loss are noticing more hair falls than usual or a thinning of the strands. To alleviate hair loss, it is essential to control stress, eat a healthy diet rich in nutrients, and use gentle hair care products.

How to glow my skin and face?

Male | 20

To ensure healthy and shining skin, it is imperative to establish a consistent and appropriate skincare regimen. Use a mild face wash to cleanse; moisturizing regularly, and using sunscreen to safeguard from sunburns are also important. Using a scrub at least once/twice a week or a face mask would be nice. Thus, you remove dead skin cells to renew it

I m 19 years old female girl.i m suffering from darker skin and become darkspot problem on face area.please suggest me best skin whitening and brightening body treatment and also suggest best treatment for removing darkspot

Female | 19

Darker skin and dark spots can occur from excessive sun exposure, hormonal changes, or skin inflammation. This issue can be solved by the application of skin whitening and brightening treatments which contain substances such as vitamin C, niacinamide, or kojic acid. Also, think about treatments like chemical peels or laser therapy to aid in the removal of dark spots. To ensure your skin's safety, always wear sunscreen to shield it from the sun and other harmful rays.

Few side effects like redness and swelling may occur. Multiple sessions may be required. Maintenance sessions may be necessary. Consult a dermatologist for the best treatment plan.

I am a 13½ year old male, My date of birth is September 30th 2010 and I was born in Sligo and from Garrison Co. FERMANAGH'S border and I would like to ask if anything is wrong with me I have a lot of white spots on my dick all around the testicles and I have had these for a long, Do I have a hernia?

Male | 13½

It should be known that these things are quite usual and mostly innocent. They could be what is referred to as the Fordyce spots which simply put are oil glands. However, if there is any form of pain or itching accompanying them then it would be wise to see a medical practitioner who will advise accordingly. Hernias usually show themselves as bulges or swellings around the groin so there’s little chance they could be connected with the description of the said spots. To be sure, though, having them checked out by a healthcare provider would still do no harm!

Psoriasis Do you have the treatment for this disease? The child is in a lot of pain, please help us a little.

Male | 26

Psoriasis is a common disease that causes red, painful, and rough patches on the skin. It happens when the immune system goes out of control and skin cells grow too fast. A dermatologist can prescribe therapy to relieve the skin. After treatment, using creams or lotions helps reduce dryness and itching. Keeping the skin clean and well-moisturized can also help reduce discomfort.

My father is suffering from scrotum enlarged issue . So suddenly we have admitted him in tata main hospital but after some test (x ray . sonography of scrotum, ultrasound of abdominal, eco , ) he found scrotum wall cellulitis issue and giving him medicine and antibiotics for cellulitis infection . But still it's been 5 days we have not found any improvement of my father health .

Male | 61

It's natural to worry when there is no improvement, Scrotal wall cellulitis usually pops up with some redness and discomfort. Similarly, known causes can be due to infection from bacteria. Usually, the ways we can provide relief by the use of antibiotics but not everyone go smooth at the beginning of recovering. In case your father does not exhibit any positive signs after 5 days, this is a valuable time for him to get a check-up with his doctors. They can do all the necessary examinations and propose some treatments that might help him. On the other hand, a doctor's surveillance and prescription are important if you want to cope with such infections.
