What Could Be Causing Strange Horizontal Lines on My Lower Back?
I need some help not sure what to do. Not so long ago I noticed some wierd looking lines on my lower back, I figured it might be from the seats at school as they have pretty sharp wooden supports that when leaned on might make dents like that. But it has been a couple of weeks and these marks are not going away. Not I'm not so sure if it is the seats cause that would normally be gone In a couple days. If I could compare it to anything they are horizontal lines some longer some shorter, a couple of them and (it might sound a little bizarre) but they look somewhat like stab wound scars or something similar, atlast from my point of view.

Male | 24
Sometimes, you could suffer from itchy skin after a bite. The animal has to do with its saliva. See if there is a change in the area of the bite and wash it regularly to avoid any possible severe infection.

I have diagnosed with pcos l have acne want to cure any medication
Female | 25
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can cause annoying acne breakouts. This hormonal condition disrupts your hormone balance, resulting in skin issues like pimples. However, certain medications may provide relief. A dermatologist could prescribe birth control pills or spironolactone to regulate hormones and clear your complexion. Consistently follow your doctor's treatment plan, and your skin should soon appear smoother.

My penis has a lot smegma and I’m very concerned because it hurts and when I tried to be also hurts and it’s stressing me out
Male | 14
You might be infected with a disease called balanitis. This may be the result of a collection of smegma underneath the foreskin, which causes reddening, swelling, and pain. It is a must to carefully clean the penis using warm water and a mild soap. Do not utilize aggressive chemicals. Meanwhile, if the pain continues or becomes more severe, be certain to set an appointment with a dermatologist for a more detailed examination and receive the treatment.

I am 26 years old Male ,I had severe dandruff,so i shaved my head It's red rashes all over my scalp
Male | 26
Dandruff and red rashes on a shaved head could be due to seborrheic dermatitis, which causes red, scaly patches on the scalp from excess yeast. Using an anti-dandruff shampoo with ketoconazole or selenium sulfide can help. It's also important to keep your scalp clean and dry. If the rashes persist, consulting a dermatologist is advisable.

I'm 20 year old male i had this pimple on my nose which is not going away since six months it crusts and comes back again it shows symptoms of squamous cell carcinoma please help
Male | 20
A pimple that won't disappear and crusts on your nose for six months may be a warning for something more serious. Squamous cell carcinoma, which is a form of skin cancer, can sometimes appear like this. It requires a doctor's attention. This may include a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis and a dermatologist may also suggest the best treatment which can be surgery or other options.

Mere penis me infection ho gya hai aur 3saal se chhuti nahi raha hai mai kya karu
Male | 21
Get rid of the infection in your penis as quickly as possible because it is untreated. Infections are responsible for causing redness, swelling, itching, pain, or discharge. Leaving it untreated for 3 years is risky and can lead to more serious problems. Make sure that you are cleansing the area with water and mild soap on a daily basis. In addition to this, keeping the area dry and avoiding tight clothing will also be beneficial. If the infection does not improve, then you must see a dermatologist for proper treatment.

I have warts with elevation for many years.... Mentally tired for continuing treatment but not curing...
Female | 54
You have warts and may have been there for a long time. The warts are caused by a virus that gets into the skin through a cut or opening. It's common to get tired of treatments if they haven't worked. Sometimes, indeed, warts can be hard to deal with. You might consider trying different treatments such as the ones available over-the-counter or you can visit a dermatologist to find out the other alternatives.

I have a skin problem. I have a fungal infection called ring worm on my body and I have got a lot of rashes. I am very troubled. Please help me.
Female | 19
It sounds like you’re experiencing discomfort from a common skin condition known as ringworm, which is a fungal infection. This can lead to red, itchy rashes on your skin. It's usually caused by direct contact with an infected person or surface. To manage this, over-the-counter antifungal creams can be effective. Keeping the affected areas clean and dry is essential. However, since your symptoms are troubling you, I recommend you consult a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment plan.

If the bikini line rash goes away in a day with a steroid cream it probably is not an STD but maybe psoriasis. Please, go to a dermatologist for checkup and appropriate treatment.

I have ring worm on my back
Male | 20
Ringworm seems to trouble your back. This fungal infection reddens skin, making it itchy and scaly. A ring-like look characterizes the affected zones. Pharmacy creams treat fungal infections like ringworm. Keep the area clean and dry. This boosts healing speed. Use antifungal creams from drugstores. Visit a dermatologist if the condition doesn't improve.

Your skin condition seems worrisome. The medication might not work or you may react adversely. Ulcers and blisters indicate allergy or severe skin issues. Stop using ointment and tablets right now. Consult a dermatologist urgently for proper treatment.

What is reason of yellow tangue with pain and some infaction on the side of tangue
Female | 29
If you have a yellow tongue with pain as well as white patches on the side you could have oral thrush which is a condition caused by fungus growing in the mouth cavity. Poor oral hygiene may lead to it; the use of antibiotics can also trigger this while having weak immunity systems puts one at greater risk too. To solve this problem people need to improve their oral hygiene, take yogurt containing live cultures or consider seeking help from a dentist if necessary.

"Hey, I just noticed that today my blood vessels are a purple color, and when I try to touch them, it doesn't cause any pain only a little bit of sore otherwise im fine. It started today, and I don't feel any symptoms at all. im not on any medication.
Male | 20
Purple blood vessels on the skin can look unusual, but they're usually not a big deal. Increased pressure might make them more noticeable. If there's no pain or other symptoms, it's probably nothing to worry about. Try elevating your legs and avoiding standing for too long. However, if you're concerned, see a dermatologist for treatment.

Reoccurring fungal infection at thigh area
Male | 24
Redness, itching, and rash can be caused by fungal infections. These occur when specific fungi come into contact with your skin. To treat these infections, you can use antifungal creams or pharmacy powders. During treatment, ensure the affected area is always clean and dry, as fungi thrive in warm, moist environments. If there is no improvement, consult a dermatologist. To aid your skin's healing and prevent future infections, wear loose-fitting clothing and cotton underwear, which help keep your skin dry and allow it to breathe.

Male | 36
The red spots are minor in most cases and may be due to low-grade skin irritation, or allergic, or insect bites. They will usually heal quickly without the help of medicines. Nevertheless, you should see a dermatologist just to make sure you are okay and your condition is properly diagnosed. They can complete the whole check-up and decide if you need any special type of therapy.
