Can genital warts lead to cancer or HIV?
I noticed a growth around my private part but not my penis but within the layers below the penis region , and I visited a pharmacist and I was told I had genital wart . Also told to use a cream called podophyllin cream , I will like to know how long the wart stays in the body and also if it doesn’t cause cancer or diseases like hiv or aids

Small flesh bumps down there are caused by a virus called HPV. The virus can stay in your body for a long time. But medicine like podophyllin cream can treat the bumps. Your pharmacist will guide you on using the cream. The bumps do not cause cancer, HIV, or AIDS. But you may see small, flesh-colored bumps in your private parts. Be sure to follow the cream use instructions carefully. Keep using the cream until the bumps go away. If you have more worries or questions, talk to a dermatologist.

I am 28 years old men having anal infection since last month can u plz help me with the correct ointment
Male | 28
An anal yeast infection might cause those symptoms you described. The area around your anus probably feels itchy and looks red. That's common when there's too much moisture or if you don't clean thoroughly. Try an antifungal cream with clotrimazole. Avoid wearing tight underwear or pants. And wash your underwear really well after wearing it. If the problem doesn't go away after trying that, you'll want to see a dermatologist.

Hair fall occurs after four days of washing hair.
Female | 17
Losing strands when washing hair can feel disheartening. This issue may stem from factors like stress, nutritional deficiencies, or using harsh hair products. Handle your locks carefully during washing and drying. Opt for gentle shampoos and conditioners to see if it helps. Should excessive shedding persist, consulting a dermatologist is advisable for personalized guidance.

I have developed rashes around my vagina and it’s spreading to my anus area. It’s itching. Please what is the cause and treatment.
Female | 21
You might have a yeast infection. Yeast is the name of the genus of fungi that can cause red, itchy rashes in warm moist body parts like the vagina and anus. Other symptoms may be inflammation, swelling, and a white, clumpy discharge. With this, doctors can give you antifungal creams that you can buy over the counter, but it is essential to see a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis and get the right treatment.

I have itching few days ago on my shoulder area and now the part is totally dark and dry and itchy and it's spreading too so what cream I should use to get rid of this problem and pigmentation.
Female | 19
This skin condition is about dryness, darkening, and itching in the shoulder area. You can eliminate these conditions by partaking in various at-home treatments such as doing exercises, eliminating dairy products from your diet, or using an air purifier. Get rid of the spots by using a hydroquinone cream that is prescribed by a doctor or get the spots removed that way. Nevertheless, you cannot take the first step unless it is the Dermatologist who gives you a formal diagnosis to allow you to use some prescription treatment that experts usually prescribe or non-prescription medication.

My vulval and anal parts gets itchy and usually more during night
Female | 27
Various factors, including poor hygiene, skin diseases like eczema, or even infections like yeast can cause itching. Keep the area clean and dry, wear loose cotton underwear, and do not scratch. However, if it still itches, consult a dermatologist to diagnose you properly and prescribe proper medication.

I'm 22 years of age . I'm experiencing severe hairfall now. Thickness is reducing day by day especially crown area. I have dandruff issue too. In some parts when I touch my scalp using fingers I can feel a small round bald area.
Male | 22
Hello sir since your hair loss is rapid and dandruff issue could be more of flaking, due to DHT(Dihydrotestesterone) which is the root cause of hair loss also known as andogenetic alopecia.... PRP, laser, minoxidil 5% would be an ideal solution for such hair loss condition.

I need to show you pics of my hand coz I can't describe it ... I've got a localized rash on small part of my hand and chest... It later turns yellow like a boil and I popped it but it came back.. no itching sensation
Male | 17
You may have the furuncle or boil which is a skin disease. This occurs when the bacteria infect either a hair follicle or a gland that produces an oily substance. The boils tend to be painful, red, and swollen. To treat it, apply warm compresses to help it drain, keep the area clean, and avoid squeezing it. If it does not improve, go to a dermatologist for further evaluation.

Iam 28years old female Iam having small bumps in bikini area I want it to be treated
Female | 28
It looks like ingrown hairs in your bikini area might be what you are possibly struggling with. These little bumps occur when hair doubles back into the skin rather than growing out. They sometimes lead to redness, itching, or even pain. To assist in healing this, softly scrub the area, shun tight clothes, and think about warm compresses. If the problem persists, visit a dermatologist.

Female | 23
You might have a skin disorder dermatitis. Itching and skin patches are some of the symptoms. Allergies, irritants, or sometimes even stress can cause this. To help with the itching and irritation, use a mild moisturizer and avoid harsh soaps or lotions. Go to a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Female | 37
Not taking proper food for so long can damage your body severely. The symptoms you talked about, for instance, your constant feeling cold and desire for hot water all the time, could indicate you are suffering from something serious such as malnutrition or damaged organs. You are supposed to go to specialists for diagnosed tests and treatments. You have to understand that it's not too late to get good treatment and work towards being healthy.

You may have sunken eye sockets and dark circles. Many things can cause this. It could be due to your genes, not enough sleep, or not drinking enough water. To make it better, be sure to get plenty of rest and drink lots of water. You can also try using an eye cream to add moisture to the area. Taking care of your overall health and getting good sleep can help your eyes look better.

Having 50% grey hair at the age of 14 could be due to genetics, nutritional deficiencies, or underlying medical conditions.

I am Roshni Singh 20 years old and i am having itching in my vaginal area and anus from past 5 6 days
Female | 20
Infections and exposure to common irritants such as soaps and fabrics are usually the cause. Pay attention to personal hygiene and limit exposure to irritants, and in turn, the symptoms will ease. It might be wise to approach cleanliness by using mild, fragrance-free items and breathing out all the hot air in unbreathable material. At the slightest signs of worsening, a dermatologist should be sought for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. The practitioner will give you specific advice and a treatment plan that is the most effective for you.

My face is tanned to 2 shades dark color suddenly and I have 4-5 moles developed on my face and neck.Kindly suggest me medicines.
Female | 38
Sun tan is quite common because of unprotected sun exposure. This is because of excess production of melanin or excess accumulation of melanin in the skin layers in response to UV rays. Moles are formed due to arrest of melanin producing cells in skin layers where they continue to produce melanin which collects to form flat or raised moles. Tan can be treated by using certain depigmenting creams which contain glycolic acid, kojicacid, alpha arbutin etc which have to be used under the supervision of a qualified dermatologist. Procedural treatment like chemical peels and laser toning with QS yag laser can help. Most important is religious use of sunscreens to prevent further tan and improvement of skin. Moles can be treated by radiofrequency ablation, punch excision or Q-switched yag laser. So please consult a qualified Dermatologist.

1) I want to know why about 200 hairs are falling every day while combing. 2) And one more thing, about 80-90 hairs are falling every day without combing the hair. whenever i put my hand in my hair its about 5-6 hairs comes in my hand.if i don't put my hand in my hair even than after also some hairs are falls on my t shirt. Please tell me why it's happening? Is it serious problem or not?
Female | 20
Yet, losing around 200 shed hairs just while combing, and subsequently losing more during the day can denote an accompanying issue. Elements like stress, hormonal changes, problems with nutrition, or scalp conditions might cause this. I advise you to rethink your nutrition, take care of stress, and make use of appropriate hair care daily. If the condition remains unchanged, a dermatologist is the right step to get the exact cause and a personalized remedy.

In October my neck get burn blisters made then skin peel off now i have light brown skin with dark patches can you tell me how much time its take to fade or any kaser treatment
Female | 24
It sounds like you've experienced a significant skin reaction, possibly from sunburn or irritation. The brown and dark patches are often a result of healing or hyperpigmentation, which can take several weeks to months to improve. Topical treatments, like hydroquinone or retinoids, may help lighten these areas. Gentle sun protection is also crucial during this time. I recommend visiting a dermatologist for a tailored treatment plan, as they can provide targeted therapies and further assessment. Your skin will gradually heal, so please be patient and seek professional guidance to ensure the best care for your situation.

My hai fall problem and my hair is white, it 16 age
Male | 16
Several factors such as digestion, nutritional lack, pressure, or hormonal imbalances could be the cause of these particular things. One way to get better at how you feel might be to eat a fairly healthy diet that is packed with vitamins and minerals, especially B vitamins and zinc. Drinking enough water and controlling stress by doing exercises regularly or attending meditation sessions may also help. It is really important to talk to a dermatologist for personal advice and treatment choices.
