Can scalp psoriasis be managed and cured long-term?
I would like to know about scalp psoriasis. It is showing up as thick flakes, falling off at 30 yrs age. Is this condition manageable? Can it be cured? What can it develop into after 10 years or later? Thanks.

Scalp psoriasis can make your scalp red, itchy, and have thick scales. It cannot be cured but can be controlled. Treatments like medicated shampoos, creams, and light therapy can help alleviate the symptoms. If left untreated, it can cause hair loss or joint pain. It is essential to collaborate with a dermatologist to discover the most suitable treatment strategy for you.

I am 23 yrs old female and from past 2- 3 days iam observing white patches on my face. I was using Hydroinone Tretinion and Mometasone furoate cream, after using this cream I feel I got this white patches. Can i know why its
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.

Para ka talaba ma small Corn tha aab thik hogaya by corn cap but sojan ho gaya hai
Male | 20
A small corn grew on your foot. You used a corn cap, causing it to increase in size. The swelling occurs when the skin reacts to pressure or friction. Soak your foot in warm water. Gently file the corn. Wear comfortable shoes to reduce pressure. If it doesn't improve, see a dermatologist.

Female | 32
If you have a bump on your earlobe after getting a piercing, it might not hurt but can appear pink with a dark or black spot in the middle. These are often called piercing bumps and are usually caused by irritation or infection. Try cleaning it gently with saline solution and avoid touching or changing the piercing too much. If it doesn't improve or starts to hurt, please make an appointment to see a dermatologist soon for further assistance.

Male | 21
Itcing in the genital area attributable to problems like bacterial infections, various irritations from products or allergies is possible. Typical signs and symptoms may be itchiness or redness. Keeping up personal hygiene with a gentle soap, wearing soft fabrics, and avoiding strong odors is the way to do this. If it is a fungal infection, the doctor may advise some over-the-counter antifungal creams. However, if it is crucial to consult a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.

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 had an abscess several times over the past year, I’ve tried to get rid of it on my own an that’s not working. I’m worried that it’s gonna get bad, my head hurts only on that side an my throat as well it’s so swelled
Female | 41
An abscess is a pocket of pus that can occur in different body parts. If you also have a continuous headache and a swelling of the throat on the same side, the abscess is probably causing more problems. Treatment by a dermatologist is the only road to get proper treatment. Procrastination of this could be a cause of more serious problems.

Yellow bumps around the lips may be a type of skin condition called Fordyce spots. They are an inconsequential and healthy product of the body that is commonly seen on the lips and is caused by the sebaceous glands. The bumps are usually without symptoms or pain.

My husband took 20mg of Certrizan at once! For his allergies, will it harm him?
Male | 50
Among the side effects of taking 20mg of Certrizan this is one. Some symptoms can be drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, and a headache. The most common reason such a condition occurs is the high dose. It's better to take the daily dose prescribed which is usually 10mg. Your husband should know that drinking lots of water and resting is the best way to recover. If no improvement is observed or if the side effects are becoming more severe find help from a dermatologist.

You could have shingles, a condition with red and itchy bumps. The chickenpox virus causes it later in life. It spreads from an area to another area. Despite no fever, you should see a dermatologist. They'll confirm the diagnosis and give treatment.

Female | 43
A dog bite wound can get infected. The rash around your January 20th bite is worrying. Redness, warmth, swelling, and pain signal infection. Dog mouths hold bacteria that enter wounds. Cleaning and covering the wound matters. But if the rash worsens or the fever develops, see a dermatologist promptly. Infections require medical treatment to heal properly.

Female | 50
HPV, especially type 45, is primarily spread through direct skin-to-skin contact, mainly sexual. The chance of transmission through shared clothing is low. However, considering your mother's health condition and her rheumatoid arthritis, it’s good to be cautious. Encourage her to see a gynecologist for proper advice and peace of mind.

Male | 17
It looks like you have a sore on your finger. A sore is red and puffy. It might have black or yellow stuff. This means germs got in a cut. To help, keep it clean and dry. You may need medicine if it does not get better. Do not pop it by yourself. Just cover it until you see a dermatologist.

I'm 23 yr old. I've been experiencing pain and burning inflammation sensations under my left breast right below the nipple for 2 days now. there's no symption visible apart from swelling but i can feel some hard cyst like structure below the nipple. Please help!
Female | 23
You might have mastitis, a condition causing breast pain, swelling, and inflammation. That hard cyst-like lump could be an abscess - a pocket of infection. Mastitis happens when milk ducts get blocked, bacteria infect the area, or engorgement occurs. Applying warm compresses and gently massaging the spot might relieve discomfort. However, if symptoms don't improve or worsen, it's wise to see a dermatologist for proper evaluation and potential treatment.

mera white spot hua hai but color utna white nhi hai thik hone me kitna time lagega
Male | 28
Depending on what you are describing, it may be a type of skin disorder called vitiligo. With vitiligo, the cells that make the pigment in the skin are destroyed through the melanocyte process, thereby producing white spots on the skin. It is always best to book an appointment with a dermatologist.

Female | 19
Darker skin and dark spots can occur from excessive sun exposure, hormonal changes, or skin inflammation. This issue can be solved by the application of skin whitening and brightening treatments which contain substances such as vitamin C, niacinamide, or kojic acid. Also, think about treatments like chemical peels or laser therapy to aid in the removal of dark spots. To ensure your skin's safety, always wear sunscreen to shield it from the sun and other harmful rays.
