Answered on 6th Aug '24
Jock itch is a common problem and it can be quite annoying. It is caused by a fungus that grows in warm, wet places such as the groin. The signs include the groin area being red, itchy, and having a rash. For the treatment, you can use store-bought antifungal creams. You should also make sure to keep the area clean and dry as it will help healing faster.

For three years now, I have been experiencing an itch that comes and goes on the right side of my stomach. A little bit below my breast. It occurs on the same exact spot. There's no rash or skin discolouration. It is not that uncomfortable, like sometimes I don't even need to scratch it. Placing my hand on the spot can provide relief immediately. It can happen anytime, when I feel hot, when I'm lying down, when I'm walking. I haven't yet noticed a particular trigger.

My daughter has a small raised bumps on her Arms and legs my gp won’t see her until next week
Female | 8
From what you say, your daughter may be a candidate for a common skin condition called keratosis pilaris. It leads to small, raised bumps on the arms and legs. Potentially, these bumps may be rough and can be either red or flesh-colored. Keratosis pilaris is the result of the skin cells blocking hair follicles. Suggest her to use a scrub and moisturizing creams to help skin improvement. Stay away from rubbing or scratching the bumps. If the bumps don't disappear or get more severe, take her to a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis.

I don't have achne but the when I get pimples it leaves a dark spots and also makes my skin dull What would be the Best vitamin c serum?
Female | 28
You need to use a vitamin C serum that can contain up to 10% L-ascorbic acid so that it can help to lighten the spots on the skin and improve its complexion. Regular acne and scarring should be taken by the dermatologist. I suggest obtaining a dermatologist’s opinion.

My son is 3 years old he got hurt by beds corner on his forehead very badly on November which left very bad mark on his face i am applying scardin cream but is not that effective pls suggest what should I do
Male | 3
If the marks are just pigmentation-like, they will be corrected in due course of time with the combination of steroids and antibiotics in tropical form, and if it is a depression or scar that has to be addressed with lasers.

I was relocated to Gurgaon for my job, and after that, I noticed that my hair density started to reduce, and a lot of white hairs began to appear
Male | 20
Stress and environmental changes, or/plus the lack of sufficient nutrients, in which the intake of some vitamins is the big one are the main issues.
Emotional and physical pressure, particularly during those periods of time when one needs to relocate, could be causes of these alterations. To keep your hair healthy, you may think about what you are eating which is a diet with a good level of supplementary vitamins and minerals, how to release the stress by relaxation methods, and the proper hydration of it are the measures you can think of. You may also consult a dermatologist.

I'm 25 years old and I'm married from last 2 years. I had scratches on my penis I just want to know syphilis causes
Male | 25
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium *Treponema pallidum*. It often begins with a painless sore at the injection site, usually on the genitals. Other symptoms can include rashes, fever, and swollen lymph nodes. The condition is transmitted through direct contact with sores during sexual activities. Early detection is vital and can lead to effective treatment with antibiotics. I recommend visiting a dermatologist for proper evaluation and testing. This is essential to ensure your health and peace of mind, and they can provide the right guidance for your situation.

Male | 20
The scar might come from a small injury or irritation you didn't notice. Since it's not causing discomfort, that's positive. However, monitor the area closely. If it starts bothering you or changes appearance, consulting a dermatologist would be wise.

This could probably be fungal infection. Visit a dermatologist who would identify your condition correctly and medication is the most important. Please do not use any lotion or medication without the doctor's advice.

Hello ..i have one side nipple dryness problem....and this problem started from 4to5 days before ...why it's so?
Female | 22
Recent onset problem may be related to some benign skin disorders like eczema. However it may be the presentation of an 'in situ' type of breast cancer or a breast cancer inside the breast tissue. You must visit a surgical Oncologist and if needed a skin specialist

Hi , I had a blind comedones under my face skin , and it is for 2 years now and its not inflammed it's just like a black head but without head and the doctor tried more than 2 times to remove them by extraction but with no result (they were deep) so we had to do them by laser to open up a hole and extract them but the inside were solid so after the session there were holes and one of them is big. My question is are they leaving scars ? I will leave a picture after 3 weeks from the procedure …. My doctor is saying that it will take time to heal ? I’m afraid they will leave a permanent scars
Female | 27
It’s usual to have scars after a surgical process but differing factors play a role in the level of damage and recovery period. As far as laser treatment is concerned, scarring may occur, but it’s usually minimal and will go away with time. I suggest you visit the dermatologist instead as they can give you better advice on post-treatment care and ensure that you heal properly.

I am using DEMELAN for my underarms which has become black due to use of Deodorants and Fungal infections for near about 1 month. But i cannot see any changes. What to do now?
Male | 29
It might be that your underarms have become darker due to some other reason. So, it is best to consult an experienced dermatologist. The dermatologist may examine your condition to know the exact cause of it and determine a suitable treatment accordingly.

Male | 18
Some familiar causes of abrupt hair loss can be stress, a poor diet, or hormonal changes (e.g. thyroid problems). To get some relief, ensure you eat a balanced diet, keep your stress under control, and also consult a dermatologist for more individualized guidance.

Doctor, what should I do to get rid of these block spots? Can you tell me the skin care cream to apply on Face.
സ്ത്രീ | 32
If you have dark spots on your face, which could be caused by your sebaceous glands being blocked or the skin gathering too much pigment, they probably are. Face cleaning and protection from the sun are the two main prevention methods for infinite spots. You want a cream that includes retinol, A, not to forget vitamin C, to ensure it will lighten the color in time.

Sir/ madam I have acne and dark spots problem My skin type is oily acne prone and I have dandruff also and i have forehead acne Please I need your help to resolve it
Female | 19
Acne is a result of an obstruction of hair follicles due to oil and dead cells. Oily skin is even aggravating the acne. The scalp dandruff might be causing the acne on the forehead. I suggest washing your face with a non-comedogenic cleanser, applying oil-free moisturizers, and consulting a dermatologist to get the most appropriate treatment.

If a girl has veliligo 30% then there may be ticks on the back, neck, hair etc.
Female | 20
Vitiligo patients can have ticks. These tiny bugs latch onto skin, causing issues. Ticks prefer warm, moist spots like back, neck, hair. They may lead to itching, redness, rash. To avoid ticks: wear protective clothes outdoors, use bug repellent. If you find a tick, remove it carefully using tweezers.

Please I have a blade cut marsk last 5 to 6years ago and I want to remove it from my body so please how can I remove it from my body or skin please help me
Male | 24
It sounds like the mark from the blade cut has been a concern for you. Over time, scars can change in appearance; they may become raised, discolored, or itchy due to natural healing processes. To address this, options include topical treatments, laser therapy, or surgical removal, depending on the scar's characteristics. I strongly encourage you to consult with a dermatologist who can assess your situation and recommend the best course of action tailored to your needs. Professional evaluation ensures safe and effective care, helping you achieve the desired results.
