Evening primrose oil isn't harmful to the skin, but accidentally consuming it might cause mild stomach issues like nausea or diarrhea. It's not serious, so just stop using it and drink plenty of water to help flush it out. If you feel very uncomfortable, consult a dermatologist for advice.

I have got few pimples around mouth and on chin.. Few weeks back I had one boil on penis shaft which went away.. After some days there was one more big boil which also went away.. Me and my partner never had any other history or never involved with any other partner before.. We had oral sex and used condoms for other sex.. Not able to understand are these pimples normal due to warm weather or something else?

Male | 30

Summer heat can cause pimples around your mouth and chin. The boils on your penis may be folliculitis — an infection when bacteria enters hair follicles. Cleanliness and dryness help prevent this condition. If pimples persist or you have concerns, see a dermatologist.

Hi. I am a 6 month old breastfeeding Mom, my skin have become extremely black, very dark undereyes and hyperpigmentation is a lot. Apart from that i am facing milia like insect bitten kind of pimples of my face and hands and thighs which appear and disappear for shorter periods of time.

Is this above prescription okay for me to take as i dont want my breastfeeding baby to be harmed in any way

Female | 26

The darkening of the skin, dark under the eyes, and hyperpigmentation you mentioned can happen due to hormonal changes during breastfeeding. The reasons are various; it can be hormonal changes or skin sensitivity that may cause pimples. The skincare products and medications your dermatologist prescribed are the right ones for your condition during breastfeeding. The facewash, serum, and sunscreen can contribute not only to the health of your skin but also to its protection from harmful sun rays.

My skin is very oily and I get pimples on my face

Female | 22

Excess oil production causes oily skin. Clogged pores result in pimples - painful red bumps. Wash your face twice daily with gentle cleansers. Use oil-free products. Avoid excessive face touching. If problems persist, consult a dermatologist.

I am a 36 year old female and about 2 yrs ago a spot so small I thought it was a dot from a pen showed up on the side of the top of my finger. Since then it has gotten a tiny bit bigger but it's not round as when I first saw it. It looks like a dark line very small but when I flash a light on it I can see it's a line not round. Should I be worried?

Female | 36

You have a rather small dark streak growing on your finger over the last couple of years. It could be just a harmless mole or a skin tag, but it’s best to watch if it changes color, size or shape. Sometimes strange skin spots can be a sign of skin cancer. For safety’s sake, it’s always good to have it looked at by a dermatologist.

i suffer from mouth ulcers at the moment and it happens frequently after every 13 to 15 days ,why is that ?and what to do about it, what are the remedies for it, also at times i get more than 1+ ulcers at the same time this time i had three where one healed and two are yet to,but one is also most which is in the cheeks skin but the one i have at the moment i.e on the tongue is very deep and healing very slow

Male | 20

Stress is a common cause of these types of sores, but they can also be brought on by accidentally biting your mouth or eating certain foods. To keep them from forming, it is important to try and reduce stress as much as possible while staying away from anything spicy or acidic that may irritate the area more. Good oral hygiene will help prevent future outbreaks. Over-the-counter gels are available at most stores, which will numb the pain temporarily and speed up healing times. If none of this works or if they won’t seem to go away then please see a dermatologist/dentist for further assistance.

I am woman age 22 acny on face

Female | 22

This is normal for your age. Acne happens when oil and dead cells clog hair follicles. This causes pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. Try gentle cleansers, avoid oily products, and don't pick your skin. Wash your face regularly with mild soap. You can also visit a dermatologist.

I am hving acne from very long time. I have taken treatment for 2 year my skin get clear for that period of time but after i had stopped treatment they occur . I also prefer to atake homeopathy but i am not getting solution an i want permanent solution that my acne would get end. Help me with tha best doctor and i want painless treatment

Female | 25

There is no permanent cure for acne. acne is the continuous process because of the oil glands in the skin that are more sensitive and reacting to the hormones in your body that might fluctuate or might be in abnormal quantity, that result in more oil secretion on the seborrheic areas like face and chest, that is resulting in bumps or impulse. If you are getting relief by the treatment, you have to continue some sort of treatment even after acne is gone like no oiling of the face, use anti dandruff shampoos, use salicylic facewash, avoid using thick creams, use topical agent for management of acne, increase water intake, avoid high calorie diet and exercise regularly.

I have a rash on my armpits and on both but it mainly itches on my left armpit and I’ve tried putting on antibiotics cream and Benadryl cream and it still itches and not getting better I haven’t been putting on deodorant either because of it

Female | 33

It seems to be a fungal infection in your left armpit. I suggest you see a dermatologist to look into the rash, and get a medication accordingly. Deodorant should also be avoided as it might make the situation worse.

I have rashes on my thigh and tip of my penis itchy

Male | 22

A yeast infection seems likely. Yeast can grow excessively, causing reddish rashes and itchiness. Warm, damp areas like the groin are prone. Keeping dry, wearing loose clothing, avoiding sugary foods - these steps aid. Over-the-counter antifungal creams may also help. However, if symptoms persist, consult a dermatologist for further assistance.

I have got foreskin infection. I tried various tropical creams, and it keeps coming back. Its been over a year now. The foreskin and veins are reddish and a burning sensation when i touch it.

Male | 26

The symptoms you are talking about, like redness, burning sensation, and recurring infection, might be caused by a disease called balanitis. Balanitis is the inflammation of the foreskin. The reasons may be poor hygiene, tight foreskin, or infections. To get better, keep the area clean, avoid using harsh soaps, and see a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
