How can I fade old dark mosquito bite marks?
I'm 25 years old and I have very old dark mosquito bite marks and scars on arms and legs. Please tell me how to get rid of it and make it fade.

Answered on 1st Nov '24
The marks are the result of the body's response to the mosquito's saliva. They may gradually diminish by themselves over time, however, you can also apply over-the-counter creams with ingredients such as hydroquinone or vitamin E that will help in the process. Remember, use sunscreen and cover your skin to avoid more bites.

Hello doctor. I am rohit bisht. I am 18 years old. Please suggest me how to recover and stop hair whitening
Male | 18
Hair going white with age or being genetic is a usual thing. Skin problems and tension also cause this. Do something for yourself if under stress; take deep breaths maybe start doing yoga. Have a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals as they play a crucial role in preventing premature greying. If possible use plant-based dyes because they don’t contain harmful chemicals however; don’t forget to handle your hair gently while dying it so that you may not end up damaging it further.

hello, i am 22. i am 18 weeks pregnant with twins. Recently my skin has been breaking out into the PAINFUL & VERY ITCHY welts all over my body, and there are days where it is hard to walk because my feet & legs would be so sore from them. as well as my hands. Ive spoke with my OB and a couple of doctors upon ER visits, but they have no idea what it is, and are jist diagnosing me with ‘hives’. i am not allergic to anything that i know of, i havent done anything new or different, but i would like some answers.
Female | 22
Those itchy welts sound uncomfortable. They could be hives - red, swollen bumps caused by stress or hormonal changes when you're expecting. With twins, your body may react more. For relief, try cool baths and loose clothes. Use mild lotions too. Keep talking to a dermatologist about managing symptoms best.

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.

There is a rash on the shoulders and entire back.
Female | 26
A rash on the shoulders and back could be caused by several things such as allergens, irritation from clothes, or infection. Sometimes it can occur when someone sweats excessively or uses strong detergents. The rash may appear red, be itchy, or have bumps. To relieve these symptoms try using mild soap, wearing loose-fitting clothing and keeping dry. If this does not help, see a dermatologist.

Sir I had fungal infection so I used derobin gel and now my skin is black though my fungal infection gone...but there is black pigmentation on my skin on stomach how to remove that
Male | 24
You may have hyperpigmentation after inflammation, which is a consequence of skin inflammation such as a fungal infection. The dark color of the skin is the result of the skin's recovery mechanism. A gentle exfoliating scrub or a vitamin C-rich skin-brightening cream are examples, you can fade the pigmentation by trying them. It is important to use an SPF product as UV rays can aggravate the pigmentation.

I have iching in scrotal sac. From last 5 days
Male | 17
You may have a condition called jock itch. Symptoms consist of itching in the scrotal area, redness, and sometimes a rash. The jock itch is caused by a fungus, which is more common in hot and damp environments. Moments when the itch first strikes, always maintain the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting clothes, and use antifungal creams to treat it. If the condition doesn't improve, visit a dermatologist.

Female | 16
You seem troubled by your nose's condition. A bump might cause nasal pain and growth sensation, making the tip droop, and the bridge appear crooked. Such changes can occur during development. Consulting a dermatologist would clarify the issue and find solutions for your discomfort.

Can stress cause bruising
Female | 23
Worry does not leave marks on your skin. However, it may cause restlessness. Restless people sometimes scratch or bump into objects. This can result in bruises forming. Feeling tense weakens your body's defenses. A weakened immune system makes bruising more likely. To prevent stress-related bruising, you should find ways to relax. Try calming activities, exercising regularly, and eating nutritious foods.

i have a small curved line of scabs on my leg is this scabies doesn’t itch and i dont get irritated at night or after i shower
Male | 19
You have got something called eczema. Eczema can be described as tiny scabs on the skin. One of the most essential precautions you can take is to cleanse and moisturize the area regularly. Don't scratch yourself too much because it can lead to an infection. You can try using a gentle moisturizer to see if it helps. If the scabs don't improve or you see any new symptoms, it's best to go to a dermatologist for further advice.

I am 19 years old and I have a sore on my frenulum on my penis, I discovered it when last hard sex because I was feeling the pain and sometimes the pain is also on the on the corona of glans and the neck of glans
Male | 19
It seems like you might be having a sore on your penis in the frenulum, corona of the glans, or neck of the glans. This can result from irritation or small injuries caused by rough sex. One thing you cannot ignore is to give it some rest and not engage in sexual activity for a while. Keeping the afflicted area clean and dry will speed up its recovery. If the problem doesn't subside, and you are concerned about it, then the best thing would be to have it examined by a dermatologist.

Female | 58
You might have dry, cracked sores at the mouth corners. This issue is angular cheilitis. It happens due to things like saliva, germs, or lacking nutrients. To help, put a thin layer of petroleum jelly or lip balm that has moisturizers like shea butter on your lips. Drink lots of water. Eat a balanced diet full of good foods for healing.

Female | 17
You may have an allergy. Swelling in specific areas, such as your hands or arms, can be caused by allergies. Your body can retain water in these areas. Insect bites, certain foods, and contact with irritants can cause edema. To reduce the swelling, try using a cold compress and antihistamine. If it doesn’t go away or gets worse, see a dermatologist.

If its only acne marks, continuing your acne treatment with facewash and gels will improve it. Some topical agents also helps in removing the pigmentation and marks of the acne. Even Salic acid 20% gel at night on spots is helpful. Glyco 6 or Glycolic acid 6% is recommended for application on the face. Acne compatible sunscreen is also helpful. Chemical Peeling with glycolic acid or salicylic acid is useful

Female | 21
It’s common to get gray hair early, especially if it started in your teenage years. This can be due to genetics, stress, or diet. While it might seem worrying, gray hair usually isn't a sign of a serious health problem. You can choose to use hair dye or embrace your natural look. Remember to eat a balanced diet, manage stress, and take good care of your hair.

These are your treatment options for hair loss: Biotin tablets, PRP treatment, minoxidil lotion.
