Answered on 27th May '24
The purple bruise on your penis could have been caused by many things. Sometimes it happens after an injury or from too much pressure. It could also be a burst blood vessel or a condition that affects blood vessels. Keep an eye on it. If it doesn’t go away or if there is any pain associated with it or any other symptoms occur, then you should see a dermatologist just to be safe.

Dear Doctor, Kindly advise some good medicines or remedies for Warts on face and neck as from 6-7 months iam facing this issue, earlier it was on one on my face but during the course of time it has rapidly increased in number and now I have almost 12-15 warts on the left side of cheek and 3-4 below the jaw line and recently have developed 2 warts on my forehead, It looks very ugly and for the same reason I'm unable to shave as while shaving the warts comes in contact with the razor and it gets bleed. Please suggest good medication for the same. Thanks
Male | 41
Warts on your face and neck may be the result of a virus known as HPV. It's a widely spread disease and can be easily transmitted. To help you get rid of them, try over-the-counter treatments such as salicylic acid. The warts may slowly peel away with this. Remember to be gentle while shaving to prevent skin irritation. If they are still bothering you, see a dermatologist for further recommendations.

Female | 18
You might have contracted a fungal infection called ringworm on your privates. Ringworm can be distinguished as a red itchy patch on the skin, which can develop into a dark-colored patch. Due to a fungus, it is caused. Use antifungal cream or powder to get it to go away. Remember to keep the area away from any dirt, moisture, and sweat. Please do not share the bath towels or clothes with anyone as this will help you stay safe from the infections.

Can an itchy rash with raised white bumps on the arms (which flatten a bit and turn more red with mometosone after itching) be scabies instead of eczema? What about if at the same time on the belly there is a flat rash of red dots?
Female | 19
An itchy red rash with raised bumps may indicate scabies, not eczema. Scabies result from tiny mites burrowing into the skin, prompting itchiness and bumps. Red dots on your belly also suggest scabies spread. Visiting a dermatologist is crucial for proper diagnosis. They can prescribe medicines killing mites, and relieving itchiness. Scabies requires medical attention, unlike typical eczema.

Male | 34
It seems like a case of fungal infection; a skin condition that may cause itching and redness on the lower part of the skin. It is caused by germs which thrive well in warm and moist areas. Keeping the skin dry and clean, using antifungal creams as well as putting on loose clothes can be helpful. To avoid further irritation, kindly refrain from scratching.

Chikan pox deep small circle on mouth in central Possible to remove this problem
Male | 31
A canker sore might trouble your mouth. They are small, round, and painful sores. Stress, spicy foods, or biting your cheek can cause them. Try over-the-counter rinses or gels to ease pain and speed healing. Soft foods are better; avoid spicy or acidic ones. Give it time - around one or two weeks - and it should disappear on its own.

Hi I am a 35 year old woman , I have very annoying spots all around my behind area and I don't know how to get rid of them.
Female | 35
You might be dealing with a common issue called acne. The back can easily get acne due to things like friction from clothes, sweating, or clogged hair follicles. To treat these spots, keep the area clean and dry, wear loose clothing, and use over-the-counter acne treatments with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid.

Male | 34
This can happen because of dry air, nose picking, or allergy treatment. No distress; it is entirely a natural thing. Using a humidifier, avoiding nose-picking, and making your nasal passages moist would help; try this first. If it worsens, it’s better to go to a dermatologist.

I am 30 years old. I had bumbs after shaving. Few weeks later it turned to sore and start spreading around my penis cap. Now I have open wounds and sore on my penis cap but it's not scratching or itching me. It's just there normal but spreading Please I need someone to tell me what to do????????
Male | 30
You may have a skin infection on your penis cap, which can occur after shaving. The bumps which get transformed to open wounds and are spreading could be a sign of a bacterial or fungal infection. Even though it's not itching, it's still important to get it checked by a dermatologist. The medicine might be antibiotics or antifungal cream for it to be better. Make sure you keep the area of the body clean and dry to avoid the further spreading of the infection.

Hi, Im 23 years old, been taking treatments for hyperpigmentation from various doctors and recently a doctor suggested q switch laser of 4 sittings, I got the first N I personally feel tat my face n neck have gone one shade darker thsn before, now confused if I shd take the remaining sittings or not, Please clarify
Female | 23
The skin appears darker or more pigmented usually after the first session of Q-switch laser treatment for hyperpigmentation. The treatment causes a temporary inflammation in the skin, which increases melanin production and darkens of the skin.
Talk to your dermatalogist as they can adjust the treatment parameters or suggest alternative treatment options based on your skin type and concerns.

I am 22 of age a female, recently I noticed some lumps close to my ass hole
Female | 22
In most cases, these lymph nodes are connected with the infections of the rectal region such as perianal abscess or a hemorrhoid. Symptoms comprise inflammation, aches, painful tingling, and pus if the glandular development becomes infected recently. The most essential actions are hygiene and heat compress usage. Likewise, examining these lumps would help to understand the situation, so if there is no improvement or worsening of this disease, you are advised to hurry to the medical center.

I need some help not sure what to do. Not so long ago I noticed some wierd looking lines on my lower back, I figured it might be from the seats at school as they have pretty sharp wooden supports that when leaned on might make dents like that. But it has been a couple of weeks and these marks are not going away. Not I'm not so sure if it is the seats cause that would normally be gone In a couple days. If I could compare it to anything they are horizontal lines some longer some shorter, a couple of them and (it might sound a little bizarre) but they look somewhat like stab wound scars or something similar, atlast from my point of view.
Male | 15
It is advised to see a dermatologist who will inspect the site and give a prescribed diagnosis. They may also give treatments options that can be used to lessen the lines visibility.

Male | 53
You may have a condition called penile adhesions, where skin at the top of the penis sticks to the head, causing discomfort and interfering with urination. Treatment usually involves a simple procedure to release the skin. Don’t leave it untreated—consult a dermatologist if you suspect this condition.

You are probably having genital herpes, which is a common viral type of infection that can form blisters and sores in the genital area, it seems you are not alone. Genital herpes is commonly spread through sexual contact. Whether or not your boyfriend or you have any symptoms, you may have herpes. If you want to control the symptoms and stop the transmission, you should not have sexual activity and go to a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

I am 21 year old female and I have these 3 squishy lumps, they moveable and spongy and painless and they look and feel like they have some fluid or pus in them but they don't leak , they on my labia majora and I'm worried over what they are. I have had them for 5 years.
Female | 21
Nevertheless, the most likely cause of their appearance is benign cysts either sebaceous or epidermoid types, with them often containing fluid or tissue. This kind of cyst is usually painless and doesn’t usually require any treatment as long as they don’t cause unpleasant symptoms. However, given that they have been around for five years, you should talk to a dermatologist who will carry out a comprehensive check-up.

A few days ago I noticed a bump on my head and I thought I just hit my head. After a couple days it started to get a bit bigger and I noticed that it was a pimple on my scalp. I popped the pimple and removed all the pus and it started to bleed for a little bit but it shortly went away. I went to take a look at it today and I noticed a small circular bald spot about 1 cm in diameter where the pimple used to be. When touching the area with my hand I noticed that the hair in that area is really sensitive and can fall out if I rummage my hand through that area. Is this a concern or is this something normal?
Male | 21
A small circular bald spot on the scalp after popping a pimple is not uncommon, but if the area is sensitive and hair is falling out, please see a dermatologist to rule out infection or other underlying conditions.
