I applied hair removal spray on my chest and legs. Now I am feeling itchy and red rashes have appeared on my legs.

Male | 24

Itchy and red rashes are some of the common signs of sensitivity when your skin's non-acceptance is projected. This might be due to the presence of certain chemicals in the spray to which your skin is sensitive. Perhaps, you should try a gentle body lotion to reduce the itching and rashes.

Male | 23

Swelling of the foreskin can be the result of different reasons that include infections, inflammation, or allergic reations. You may coint symptoms like redness, disquiet, or the inability to retract the foreskin. For an efficient solution, the area should be kept clean and dry. Use a tender soap and warm water while abstaining from strong soaps or perfumes is the best way to avoid irritants.

It's been recurring for a year or more now. There's this pimple like thing, slightly bigger in the space of chest between my breasts on my chest. And they open up often, and it's very deep. Like a hole, and pus comes out and it stinks sometimes. It's like a deep wound? There's no insufferable pain or anything, but the pus ajd the deep hole like wound and the bad smell scares me. I'm a female, of 18 Years.

Female | 18

It sounds like you're experiencing a recurring skin issue that may be related to an infection or a type of cyst. The presence of pus, deep wounds, and odor can indicate that medical evaluation is necessary. While the absence of severe pain is reassuring, it's important to address this condition promptly to prevent worsening or complications. I recommend scheduling an appointment with a dermatologist who can examine the area, provide an accurate diagnosis, and suggest appropriate treatment options.

I have a red, dry skaly penis head. It goes like that after masturbation or a hot shower. Normally it’s just slightly red. I’ve had this for about a year now

Male | 34

Having a crimson, parched, and flaky penis top can be unpleasant, however, there are only a few things to take into account. After masturbation or a hot bath, it’s typical to get marginally crimson. This could be due to irritation from soaps or lotions, a fungal infection, or even sensitivity to certain fabrics. To help, try using gentle soaps, avoiding tight clothes, and keeping the area dry. If the symptoms persist, seek advice from a dermatologist who can provide the right treatment.

Hi, my brother is having these white spots on his back right below neck. It was a tiny spot and now it is increasing. What should we do?

Male | 29

Your brother may have a condition called tinea versicolor. It occurs when areas of the skin get discolored with white pigmentation. Since there are yeasts that occur, they are the result of the infection of the skin. The circles get bigger if the weather is warm and wet. Use an antifungal cream or medicated shampoo to help you out. Visit a dermatologist to get a proper solution for his condition.

Pimple and Pimple marks in face

Female | 27

Pimple marks are small bumps that can be red, swollen, or have pus, the pinky-gray of the skin. These things are generated when the pores become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Pimple marks are dark or red spots left behind after a pimple goes away. In order to reduce your chances of getting pimples, you should wash your face regularly, stay away from oily products, and never pick or squeeze the pimples. Apply products that contain benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to treat them.

Male | 52

It could be because of a fungus attack, termed Candidiasis, also the one known as oral thrush. This can happen after unprotected sex, smoking, or using alcohol. To deal with this practice, antifungal remedies are written by a dermatologist, and refrain from smoking and heavy drinking. Using a good personal hygiene routine has other essential roles to play, too.

The IgM test result which is less than 0.500 means there are no recent infections. However, the IgG test result of 0.87 indicates a past infection. You might commonly have symptoms such as blisters, pain, and itching. Nevertheless, treatments are available to cope with the symptoms and outbreaks, so, don't hesitate to contact a dermatologist for more help.

Female | 36

Excessive hair loss can often be linked to hormonal imbalances, even if there are no other noticeable problems in the body. It's important to get your thyroid levels, estrogen, and androgen hormones checked. I advise you to consult an endocrinologist, to diagnose and treat hormonal issues that might be causing your hair loss.

Male | 24

You are dealing with itching and bumps on your private part, specifically on your foreskin, during the night time. It could be thrush, which is a yeast infection. Yeast infections may cause itchy and red pimples in the genital area. You can help ease the itching by keeping the area clean and dry, wearing breathable cotton undergarments, and not using strong soaps or body washes. A dermatologist must be consulted for proper diagnosis and treatment if the symptoms do not improve.

Male | 24

Either a jock itch or an STI can cause groin itching. Jock itch results from sweat and friction, leading to redness, itching, and rashes. An STI may have similar symptoms but is related to unprotected sex. Use antifungal creams for jock itch and practice safe sex to prevent STIs. Maintaining good hygiene is also important.

Female | 23

The combination of hydroquinone, retinoid, and mometasone cream, often called Clubmen's formula, is used for hyperpigmented disorders like melasma. This medication is available over the counter under various brand names. It is the common side effect of the cream that it causes depigmentation or white patches, thinning of the skin, prominent blood vessels, acne, increased hair and also increased sensitivity to sun. Please do not use any such creams without consulting a dermatologist.

It’s understandable to be concerned about your son's throat. Symptoms like redness, swelling, or discomfort can result from various conditions, including infections or allergies. While I can't view images, I recommend observing any other signs, such as difficulty swallowing or fever. It's always best to consult a ENT specialist for an accurate assessment. They can perform a thorough examination and provide the right guidance.

I'm 16 years old having excessive sweaty feet and palms everytime

Male | 16

Profuse sweating of the palms and soles of the feet is called hyperhidrosis (primary focal hyperhidrosis). Genes, hormones, nervousness, or stress can cause it. Although the condition might sometimes be discomforting, it is often nothing to be worried about. To control this, put on moisture-absorbing socks, use antiperspirants that are invented for hands and feet, and practice deep breathing techniques, which reduce the impact of stress, and decrease sweating. Maintaining proper hydration levels also helps to regulate temperature. Should the situation persist or significantly affect your daily operations, then consult a dermatologist.
