I’m 16 and want to use nizoral for dandruff but I heard it can block dht. Is it safe to use?

Answered on 27th Aug '24
The nizoral shampoo helps with dandruff. Yes, it might affect the DHT hormone linked to hair loss. But no worries, using Nizoral sometimes for dandruff is generally fine. Follow the bottle's instructions carefully. If concerned about hair loss, it's wise to consult a dermatologist to explore other suitable options.

Brown tag bump on stomach
Male | 29
These lumps, also known as skin tags, are quite harmless. Skin tags are little soft fleshy growths that can develop on the skin. Though generally painless, skin tags may sometimes become irritated by clothes or jewelry catching on them. The exact cause for these tags is unknown, but it may be due to friction from rubbing against other areas or hormonal changes during pregnancy or puberty. If you find the skin tag bothersome, do not worry as they can easily be removed through simple procedures done by a dermatologist. Keep an eye on it and if there is anything about its size/color/shape that worries you or is different from what was there before.

I have purple spots on my arm but i feel any pain
Male | 20
Red-purple dots may appear on your arm. They don't hurt. These come from tiny blood vessels bursting close to the skin's surface. This condition is called purpura. Purpura can happen due to small injuries or randomly. Most cases go away without treatment. However, if more spots show up, or other symptoms occur, or if purpura persists, you should see a dermatologist. This can rule out underlying health issues causing these spots.

When your crook finger is deep, we call that acanthosis nigricans. It only appears in thick, dark aluminum and is always misdiagnosed as skin abnormalities. Weight and diabetes are the main accused ones. Sometimes, it can also relate to hormonal problems. The proper approach is to eat healthy and manage your weight.

My Son age is 19 years old and is undergoing vitiligo treatment.. No improvement in the white spots. Is there any advance treatment to avoid growth of white spots..? and reduce white spots Pl suggest
Male | 19
Vitiligo is a condition that involves a decrease in pigmentation. Modern treatments can minimize the spots, for example, by using phototherapy, topical corticosteroids, or skin grafts. It is important to take care of the possible triggers exacerbating your son's vitiligo. Exposure to sunlight and stress factors can aggravate the disorder, so ensure your son is protected from the sun and help him manage stress. Dermatologist visits have to be performed regularly which is very important to check the treatment progress and to decide on more advanced therapies if needed.

nodular prurigo from past 1.5 year
Female | 47
Nodular prurigo is a long-lasting skin condition that causes very itchy bumps. These bumps stay for years because scratching or rubbing makes them worse. Creams can help reduce the itching, and it’s important to avoid scratching and keep the skin moisturized. Sometimes, prescription medications are needed, so it's a good idea to see a dermatologist. This condition can cause a lot of discomfort over time, as the urge to scratch makes the bumps worse. A good skincare routine and medical treatment can provide relief.

What can i use for a constant itch down there? Not internal. 2 spesific spots on both sides that itch like crazy
Female | 32
When skin contacts an irritating substance, it can develop a condition known as contact dermatitis. This leads to itching and discomfort. Perfumed soaps, detergents, or fabrics often trigger this reaction. To alleviate the itching, use unscented, mild cleansers on the affected area. Wear loose-fitting cotton undergarments too. However, if the itching persists despite these measures, consulting a dermatologist becomes necessary for proper evaluation and management.

Itchy hands and feet may be because of eczema, contact dermatitis to detergents, soaps, sanitisers and chemicals, Psoriasis etc. Avoiding triggering factors, excess use of detergents, harsh soaps or sanitisers may reduce the severity and acute flares. Good emollients can help restore the skin barrier. Antibiotics may be needed to prevent infections through the bleeding skin. Mild handwashes and soaps are recommended to prevent worsening of the skin prevent stripping of natural oil from the skin. Oral antihistamines, oral corticosteroids may be recommended for a short duration under supervision in case of severe flares by a dermatologist.

Male | 35
Blisters that keep popping up could mean recurring blisters. They're small, liquid-filled pockets that repeatedly appear on feet. Tight shoes causing friction, sweat, or allergies might cause them. Wear comfy shoes to avoid them. Keep feet dry too. Use blister pads if needed. But see a dermatologist if they won't go away. They can suggest further treatment.

I am 29 old guy suffering from Skin rash issue on my lags, I notice some red patch and at a same time it's very itchy
Male | 29
Skin rashes are caused by factors such as allergic reactions, insect bites, or skin disorders. Those red, flaky patches of skin and the sensation of itching can be attributed to eczema or contact dermatitis. To avoid itchiness, you may try nourishing the skin cream that is good for your skin, or you could also use cold compresses. If the rash is not going away and is becoming more intense, it would be best to see a dermatologist who can evaluate and treat the condition.

I have chapped lips, i have been suffering from it past 1 year. And from last 8 months i never licked ky lips. The upper part of ky lips feel very itchy and burnt. And i even lost my upper lips hairs
Female | 17
Dry, inflamed lips are a sign of cheilitis. Chapped lips seem common but ignoring them risks worsening the issue. Dry weather, licking lips, or allergies instigate this condition. Gentle lip balms with hydrating ingredients like coconut oil or shea butter can help. Avoiding licking lips and drinking enough water benefits too. However, if problems persist, seeing a dermatologist becomes crucial for proper evaluation and effective treatment.
