Could the pale reddish skin on my penis be concerning?

I'm 30. I noticed a pale reddish skin at the cap of my penis. There is no inching or pain but it keeps drying and peeling off.

You may have a condition known as balanitis. When the skin on the tip of the penis becomes irritated, this can occur. It can be caused by poor hygiene, fungal infections or allergies. Even if it doesn’t hurt, keep the area clean and dry. Using a mild cream may also help with the peeling skin. If it doesn’t improve, it’s best to see a dermatologist.

I have a chronic urticaria from past 3 months and breastfeeding. Can I pass down allergy to my child with breast feeding? Can I take medication (Citrizine and belastine)while breastfeeding?

Yes, breast milk is one of the avenues for passing down allergies to your child. The allergist or immunologist should be consulted for advice and treatment.

I have cut marks nd that cutted by knife.. marks are getting more visible day by day, I'm using glycerine but I can't see any effect, I can't visit the doctor cause my parents don't know abt theese cut marks, I wanna cure it naturally at home so please suggest something

Female | 18

It is not unusual for the untreated cut marks to turn into scars. Maybe the diluted glycerine solution will not be sufficient to help. You can consider adding some aloe vera gel to speed up the healing. Ensure the cut area is cleansed and well moisturized to let nature do the rest of the healing.

I am 27 years old female and have dry skin type. Lately my skin on the torso, waist and hip has become extremely dry & flaky. Even piling doesn't affect it. I then tried aveeno cream which has reduced flakiness, but it's still very tough to touch and skin on these areas has become stretchy as well as scaly. My grandmother had this skin. It's strange because skin everywhere else is normal, but there it's becoming old and wrinkled. I drink 2-3 litres water daily, although piling doesn't help but I still oil everyday. Pls help. I also take vitamin E capsules, sea cod, vitamin c chewables, and B complex capsules. My skin overall is dry and scalp has dandruff because of this too. There are sometimes small patches of dry skin at random areas like back, forearm and torso, and when I scratch away it goes off like flakes. But this dry, rough and wrinkled skin on my torso, waist and hip is bothering me.

There are a few things you can try to help with your dry, rough and wrinkled skin. First, make sure you are using a moisturizer that is specially formulated for dry skin. Look for ingredients like shea butter, cocoa butter, or almond oil. These will help provide moisture and nourishment to the skin. You may also want to try a richer cream, such as body butter or a balm, to provide extra hydration. 

You can also try using a gentle exfoliator to help remove any dead skin cells and promote cell turnover. This will help the skin to look smoother and help with flakiness. 

In addition to using moisturizers and exfoliators, you should also make sure you are getting enough vitamins and minerals in your diet. Vitamins A, C, and E are all important for healthy skin, as well as omega-3 fatty acids. Eating a balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables can help you get the nutrients you need for healthy skin. 

Finally, make sure you are drinking plenty of water throughout the day. This will help keep your skin hydrated and help prevent dryness.

Female | 25

As per your symptoms it would appear that you are suffering from acne vulgaris. This condition may also lead to pimples, acne and dryness on the face. This may also be associated with the dandruff and hair fall. I suggest that you consult a dermatologist who will offer the right diagnosis and treatment protocol.
