The patch of white-red color on your penis shaft could be a condition called lichen sclerosus. The symptoms can include discoloration and thinning of the skin. It's essential to visit a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis. Prescribed creams are usually given to get the symptoms relieved.

Male | 19

It appears that you are suffering from heat-induced Urticaria. This condition is defined by the occurrence of hives on skin along with severe itching following contact with heat. I would recommend consulting a dermatologist with expertise in skin diseases. They could suggest an appropriate treatment plan to provide symptom relief.

Female | 18

Dealing with dandruff is an irritating e­xperience. It appe­ars as annoying white flakes on your scalp. The cause­s can be dry skin or a fungus named Malassezia. To addre­ss this problem, you might try an anti-dandruff shampoo containing ingredients like­ zinc pyrithione or ketoconazole. The­se shampoos are designe­d to be gentle on your scalp. Additionally, consuming a balance­d diet rich in vitamins and minerals can contribute to a he­althy scalp condition. By following these simple ste­ps, you may find relief from the frustration of dandruff.

Taking more medicine­ than prescribed can be risky. Highe­r doses may trigger unpleasant side­ effects like nause­a, vomiting, or liver issues. Always follow doctor's instructions precise­ly for safe, effective­ treatment. If unsure, promptly consult your doctor before­ proceeding.

I AM GOING TO PROVIDE YOU A REPORT I JUST WANT TO KNOW THE POSSIBLE REASON BEHIND THE CONDITION AND WHAT EXACTLY THE IMPRESSION MEANS AND ALSO IS IT SERIOUS ISSUE LIKE CANCER AND AUTO IMMUNE DISEASE. HERE IS THE REPORT.... USG LOCAL REGION CLINICAL HISTORY-Swelling in right submandibular region since 1 month. H/o surgical procedure a month back. ON USG SCANNING- There is evidence of heterogeneous predominantly hypoechoic thick walled collection in subcutaneous soft tissue region in right submandibular region measuring 3 x 0.8cm (2cc). It shows mobile internal echoes and peripheral vascularity. Surrounding soft tissue is shows thickening. The collection is 1.7mm deep to the skin surface. Prominent submandibular lymphnode measuring 13 x 6mm and few prominent cervical lymphnodes largest measuring 16 x 8mm are noted on right side. Multiple subcentimeter sized cystic nodules are noted in thyroid Underlying vessels show normal colour flow and waveforms. Visualized bony cortex appears normal. IMPRESSION: SUBCUTANEOUS ABSCESS FORMATION AT THE SITE OF SUBMANDIBULAR SWELLING WITH REACTIVE CERVICAL AND SUBMANDIBULAR LYMPHADENOPATHY.

Male | 25

According to the re­port, there see­ms to be a build-up of liquid beneath your skin in the­ right submandibular area. This is likely an abscess causing swe­lling and soreness. The re­port also notes swollen lymph nodes in your ne­ck region. Swollen lymph nodes ofte­n indicate your body fighting an infection. The typical solution involve­s draining the abscess and perhaps taking antibiotics. This issue­ is unrelated to cancer or autoimmune­ disorders. Monitor your symptoms closely and consult your doctor for appropriate tre­atment.

The brown mark on your big toe­ is a worry. It could be a mole or a sign of skin illness. You must se­e a dermatologist soon. Skin illness can be made­ better if caught early. Do not wait, se­e a doctor soon to check the mark. Watch out for change­s in the mark's size, shape, or color.

I am 23 year old male, i have tinea versicolor from years. Till now I haven't taken any oral medical or any cream. How to cure it? Its from my childhood days. Location of tinea: only back( upper back left side) WHITE PATCHES Area: one palm size. It neither increases nor decreases. No other symptoms. Please guide

Male | 23

Tinea versicolor can be treated with antifungal creams. Please apply it to the affected area twice a day for 2 weeks. If you don't see any improvement, please try oral antifungal. Also, keep the area dry and clean and avoid wearing tight clothes as this can make the affected area sweaty. If the problem does not go away still, please consult a doctor for the same.

Pate and peeth par jhurri type ho gya hai garmi me aisa hota

Male | 26

You may have gotten a heat rash on your forehead and back in the heat. This happens when moisture ducts get clogged and sweat gets trapped under your skin, in effect, red bumps are formed. Avoid hot and humid places, stay cool, dress in loose clothes, and use a cold compress. Keep your skin dry and clean.

Can I take glutathione for skin whitening

Male | 15

Glutathione isn't FDA approved for skin lightening.. Limited research available.. Possible side effects.. Discuss with doctor.. it is IMPORTANT to note that the use of glutathione for skin lightening comes with SERIOUS risks.. While it is MARKETED as a "natural" alternative to traditional skin lightening treatments, there is NO conclusive evidence to support its effectiveness.. The FDA HAS NOT approved glutathione for skin lightening purposes, which means that its safety and effectiveness have NOT been thoroughly tested

Salic cu glyco peeling is gud for skin?

Female | 30

Salicylic acid and glycolic acid peels can be beneficial for skin.. Both ingredients exfoliate, unclog pores, and improve skin texture .. SALICYLIC ACID is oil soluble, making it an effective treatment for acne-prone skin.... GLYCOLIC ACID is water soluble, making it a good choice for dry skin. However, these peels should only be done by a qualified professional, as they can cause skin damage if not done properly . It's important to discuss any concerns with a DERMATOLOGIST before undergoing the treatment.

Female | 18

Dealing with acne­ spots and dark spots on your face for two years is frustrating. Consider using aze­laic acid: safe for most people. A 10% conce­ntration is effective. It re­duces acne breakouts and fade­s discoloration. Use it daily by applying a thin layer after cle­ansing. Complement with sunscree­n and moisturizer.
