Razor bumps can appear after you shave, and are tender bumps with inflammation. The prescription of ketoconazole cream is the ideal choice but it is not guaranteed to completely solve the problem of razor bumps. To further improve razor bumps, a gentle exfoliating scrub can be applied to remove the dead skin cells and thus prevent the hairs from getting trapped. It is important to hydrate the shaving area thoroughly after the procedure. If the skin rashes become even more intense, visit a dermatologist for assistance.

At times, ingrown hairs cause little red bumps which can be annoying. I know that ketoconazole cream works great for some skin problems but I’m not sure if it would help with razor bumps. Maybe try using a mild exfoliating scrub to get rid of these pesky little bumps. Do not shave over them until they have cleared up! You might want to see a dermatologist who can give you some tailored advice if this doesn’t work.

Razor bumps are such little red spots that they can appear suddenly after shaving. The ketoconazole cream is quite a good starting point, but it can sometimes not be strong enough. These bumps are caused by the hair curling back into the skin which creates an irritation. For others, a dermatologist's visit might help them with a stronger treatment.

Razor bumps, also known as pseudofolliculitis barbae, develop when the hairs curl back into the skin after shaving, causing redness and bumps to appear. You might want to use a warm compress to soften the skin first, then gently exfoliate to help the hairs grow out correctly. You should avoid shaving for a while to let the skin heal. If it does not get better, go to a dermatologist for further treatment.

Male | 21
Rashes may appear due to various conditions such as allergies, infections, or skin conditions. Common symptoms can be redness, itching, and inflammation. To handle less severe cases of the disease, you should keep your skin clean and moisturized and try to avoid irritants. Hydrocortisone creams that are available at pharmacies can be used in order to reduce the irritation. When the rash gets worse, lasts for more than a few days, or is accompanied by fever or severe discomfort, go to see a doctor immediately as it is very important. The latter will figure out the proper cause of the disease and suggest a course of treatment that will suit your individual requirements best. If you do this, you will be sure that the dermatologist will give you the best treatment for your skin's health.

I am 22years old female and have acne or my face for last few years. I have not taken any treatment before this. And my one more thing is I have acne which are filled filled with pus, kindly suggest me what to do? How I can get rid of it?
Female | 22
Acne can cause by hormonal changes, stress, genetics, or other factors. If you have acne that is filled with pus, it is likely that you have an infection. Consult a dermatologist as soon as possible in order to get the proper treatment. You may need topical medication, an antibiotic or other treatment to get rid of the infection and reduce the breakouts. Keep your skin clean and moisturized, avoid touching your face again and again, and limit your exposure to dust and pollution.

I am a 28 year female, with oily skin, having complaints regarding acne, acne scars, tanning, uneven skin tone and dullness. Can I get treatment options for my concerns as well as the cost so as to proceed further. Thank you!
Female | 28
There are many treatment options available to help address your concerns. You can choose from a basic skincare routine to more involved treatments such as laser treatments, chemical peels, light therapy, micro-needling, and laser treatments for acne scarring. These will work by stimulating new collagen in your skin, which can help reduce the appearance of scars. You can look into chemical peels, laser treatments, and light therapies for hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. These treatments can help to break down pigmented cells and stimulate new cell growth, which in turn can help reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation. For dullness, you can look into facial treatments such as microdermabrasion, which can help to exfoliate your skin and reduce dullness. Cost of these treatments can vary widely, depending on the type of treatment you choose. It is best to consult with a dermatologist to get better treatment options.

This could indicate an injury, like something heavy dropped on your toe. Or, it might mean a fungal infection has taken hold. Keep watching the affected nail carefully in case symptoms worsen. If pain increases, discoloration spreads, or other nails become involved, see a dermatologist.

Age-41yrs. From last 3 years suffering from a black patch all around my lips, specially below the lips on both sides. I had visited a doctor there who detected the problem to be Perical pig / Melasma Pg as written in the prescription. Treated me with the following medicines For the 1st month- Cetaphil gentle cleanser, Flutivate E cream alternate night and Kojic cream once in a day. Next visit I was advised to use Kojiglo cream once daily, Eukroma+Flutivate E cream on the patches twice a week. But I did not find any difference. I had informed the doctor that I cannot afford a very costly treatment, but on her assurance during my third visit I was applied Glycocil pack but yet felt no difference. Then was asked to use Dermadew Caloe lotion every day and Azideenz 10% gel once a day, this gel made my skin rough, when complained she advised me to use only Dermadew lotion day and night daily. My face is 2 to 3 shades darker than my body color. What to do now to get rid of this patch
Female | 41
Without a proper evaluation and diagnosis, I can't say. But normally, suggested treatments for perical pigmentation include topical medications and laser treatments and I do not recommend flutivate cream for pigmentation. However, based on your individual condition, the doctor will recommend the best treatment for you.

What should I do if my nipples in my breast have small pimples in my mouth and if I press a little it comes out white?
Female | 22
You may experience tiny bumps on your nipples that discharge white fluid when pressed. This condition, known as nipple acne, is widespread and typically harmless. The white substance comprises oil and dead skin cells. To address this, maintain cleanliness and dryness of the area, wear loose-fitting garments, and avoid harsh soap products. However, if the issue persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist for personalized guidance.

I am 18 years old teenager and I want to remove tanning from my whole body and I also want to reduce the melanin secretion in my body ..so please prefer me best kojic acid soap for daily use
Male | 18
Tanning is produced by the skin when it absorbs more sunlight. This is the process that involves melanin, a protein that protects the skin. To decrease tanning and melanin, try a kojic acid soap. This soap can decrease the melanin in your skin and thus brighten your skin's color. For best results, use it daily.

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

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.

Female | 31
On some occasions, if you touch it frequently or you don't clean it the proper way, discomfort may result. Reddish color, swelling skin, pus, and pain are among such infections. Clean it carefully though and follow a saline solution application as well as keep the ring in place to avoid this complication. If it is not getting better consult a dermatologist.

Female | 15
This could be seborrheic dermatitis, a condition causing red, flaky patches. Regular dandruff shampoos may not cut it here. Try using a medicated shampoo with ketoconazole or coal tar instead. If that pesky rash sticks around, it's smart to chat with a dermatologist. They can properly check it out and suggest treatments to make that rash hit the road.

This may occur because of a swollen hair follicle or clogged gland; at times, it could indicate infection. If within some days the condition does not improve along with the bump becoming painful, then visit a dermatologist. Also, ensure to keep the place tidy while putting on loose clothes for comfort.

Hydroquinone for skin lightening
Male | 18
Let me give you the lowdown on hydroquinone: it’s a common ingredient found in skin lightening products. This is because it works by reducing melanin in the skin. So if you have dark spots such as age or sun spots, using hydroquinone could help fade them away. However, don’t forget that you must be cautious not to misuse it since this can cause some undesired effects. As a rule, always follow directions given by the manufacturer when using any cosmetic product and also watch out for any allergic reactions.

Male | 56
Looks like you got a wound in your left leg that’s swollen and itchy. Swelling and itching can occur when the body is healing a wound. It might be infected or irritated. To relieve these symptoms, ensure the wound is clean, use a mild antiseptic, and elevate your leg to reduce swelling. Change dressings frequently to prevent infection.

Female | 18
It is not unusual for the untreated cut marks to turn into scars. Maybe the diluted glycerine solution will not be sufficient to help. You can consider adding some aloe vera gel to speed up the healing. Ensure the cut area is cleansed and well moisturized to let nature do the rest of the healing.

Pain in intimate area and itching
Female | 18
Sexually transmitted diseases or urinary tract infections are the most probable reasons for this. Yeast infections occur when there is too much yeast in that particular part of the body. Applying over-the-counter antifungal creams will be of great help. In the case of UTIs, Consult a dermatologist for proper treatment.

Male | 17
It seems you may be having some irritation which could come from many different sources, such as fungal infections, skin problems, or allergies. Nighttime itching might be a sign of moisture or heat in the groin area, particularly with hair. Cutting the hair can be helpful but you need to be careful to avoid ingrown hairs. Hygiene is key; opt for breathable fabrics, like cotton, for the best results. Nevertheless, since this issue has been constant, I suggest you consult a dermatologist to get a tailored treatment plan.

Male | 19
I get it, you might be ashamed of what you did, but in the end, your health is what is most important, and I respect you for coming up to deal with it. The bumps and the itchiness of your penis may have been caused by an infection, an allergic reaction, or a condition affecting the skin. For the best case scenario, you should visit a urologist. They are the doctors who treat matters concerning the urinary tract and male reproductive system.
