This is when the hair follicles on your head become infected leading to painful sores with pus which are also itchy. I can see that the drugs that you have used before don’t seem to work well for you in the long run. One should visit a dermatologist who might prescribe stronger medications or other treatments such as medicated shampoos or creams for clearing up these infections and preventing their recurrence.

I have a rash on my chin and four head and it stard on Friday and it is not going away
Female | 27
A rash on your chin and forehead can result from various factors like an allergic reaction, irritant exposure, or even a skin infection. Common symptoms include redness, itching, or dryness. To alleviate discomfort, consider using a mild moisturizer or hydrocortisone cream. Avoid harsh products and refrain from scratching the area. It's essential to keep the skin clean and monitor for any worsening or additional symptoms. If the rash persists beyond a few days or shows signs of infection, I recommend consulting a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment.

I’ve hyperpigmentation on my face and suburn don’t know what to avoid and yse
Female | 18
I see that you are having dark spots on your face after getting a sunburn. This is called hyperpigmentation. It happens when your skin makes more pigment, called melanin, to protect itself from the sun. To help, avoid direct sunlight, use sunscreen, wear a hat, and apply aloe vera to soothe the burn. Over time, the dark spots may fade, but protecting your skin from the sun is key.

White spots on a child’s face can have various causes, including a condition called vitiligo or simple fungal infections. Many cases can be treated effectively, but treatment depends on the exact cause. It’s best to consult a dermatologist, who specializes in skin conditions, for proper diagnosis and treatment options.

What’s is the difference between IgG and IgM test for HSV.
Male | 28
HSV-specific IgG test is for finding the history or previous infection, while IgM test is for recent or current infection. With IgG antibodies, we can tell if a person has had the HSV before, which provides long-term immunity. While IgM antibodies show that an infection happened recently, IgG antibodies suggest that it occurred a long time ago. HSV-related problems should be diagnosed and treated by consulting a dermatologist or an infectious disease specialist as these specialists are best suited in these cases.

I am in a constant state of allergy/sinus attacks. Just about everyday and if not everyday, ever other, I’m congested sneezing running nose and constant irritation to my face along with my face feeling hot. I have cats but have had them for 5 years and this is just now a problem within the last 10 months.
Female | 24
You might be suffering from allergies - which could be the main reason for your never-ending sinus problems. Allergies can arise at any moment, even though you have become accustomed to living with your cat for a long time. The cat dander might be the one causing your symptoms to flare up. One way to improve your condition is to use an air purifier, keep your home tidy, and take the antihistamines prescribed by a dermatologist.

Dots on dick hurts a little
Male | 24
The penis may have them in the form of small, elevated points. Generally, the cause of this is a type of virus known as HPV which can be transmitted through sexual contact. The warts may not be the most painful but can also slightly hurt. It is necessary to see a dermatologist for treatment options, which could include medicines or procedures to eliminate the warts.

Male | 60
Balanitis is an inflammation of the skin located at the front end of the penis. If addressing the issue, professionals, such as dermatologists and urologists, who are experts in skin and urinary system disease may be consulted. The issue of balanitis springs from a lack of cleanliness, some skin conditions, or various infections. Recommendations from doctors include cleaning the area, prescription of medicated creams, or, if there is an infection, they might need to take antibiotics.

I have pimples and acne on my face . What should I do?
Male | 15
This can happen when your skin gets too oily, pores get blocked, bacteria grows in them or hormonal changes take place. To help get rid of them, you can try washing your face with a mild soap often, don’t squeeze them, and keep your hands off your face. Over-the-counter creams or gels with benzoyl peroxide/salicylic acid may also work for you. Consider talking to a dermatologist for more help.

Hi,my self Bhargav, Recently I observed small holes under the pennies, when I press that holes, white and black substance coming outside, initially i thought like these are formed by hair grow.
Male | 29
You may have folliculitis, which is a common skin condition. This occurs when the hair follicles become infected with bacteria. The holes you can see are where the infection is coming out; this may contain pus hence the white and black things you mentioned. Clean the affected area regularly and use warm compresses too. However, if it’s too uncomfortable for you then visit a dermatologist.

Mam i have comedones on all over my face and after shaving it is more prominent and i only use dermaco vitc serum and vit c oil free moisturizer along with aloe vera gel with tea tree oil. What should I use to get back my clear skin at present I m using peroclin gel and dervia cms prescribed by you in my previous visit
Female | 21
Comedones, or clogged pores, can arise from excess oil and dead skin cells. Shaving might irritate the skin, making them more noticeable. Continue using Peroclin gel and Dervia CMS as prescribed, ensuring they’re applied gently. It’s also beneficial to avoid heavy products and consider a gentle exfoliating routine a few times a week. Stay hydrated and maintain a balanced diet. If the condition persists or worsens, please book a follow-up appointment with dermatologist for a tailored treatment plan.

I am Roshni Singh 20 years old and i am having itching in my vaginal area and anus from past 5 6 days
Female | 20
Infections and exposure to common irritants such as soaps and fabrics are usually the cause. Pay attention to personal hygiene and limit exposure to irritants, and in turn, the symptoms will ease. It might be wise to approach cleanliness by using mild, fragrance-free items and breathing out all the hot air in unbreathable material. At the slightest signs of worsening, a dermatologist should be sought for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. The practitioner will give you specific advice and a treatment plan that is the most effective for you.

Hi..doc..my is my toungue very dry and sour..and also my penis head ia dry too..i have try anti fungal pill and cream..it doesnt work also..is it seriious..what should i do..?
Male | 52
These symptoms can sometimes be caused by conditions like dehydration, oral thrush, or even a skin condition. It's nice that you took the anti-fungal medicine, however, if it did not work, there might be another problem. Schedule an appointment with a dermatologist so they can evaluate your symptoms and give you the most appropriate advice and treatment. Also, this thing can be relieved by water intake which is very important in this.

Hi, my mom wore sandals and it cut a little part of the top of her foot skin. It’s like a round circle and you can see the red skin. She has been using different foot medicine like antiseptic spray, rolled gauze bands, vaseline. She has took ibuprofen for pain. What can she do so it heals faster and relief pain?
Female | 60
Your mom likely developed a foot wound from friction with her sandal. Inflamed red skin indicates irritation. Antiseptic spray application was smart for preventing infections. Rolled gauze bandages shield the wound area. Vaseline keeps skin moisturized, promoting healing. Taking ibuprofen reduces discomfort and swelling. For quicker recovery, keeping the wound clean and dry while avoiding pressure on that foot is crucial.

Male | 16
The Acnestar gel 22g is not suitable for treating dark spots on the face and only used in the treatment of acne. The dark spots on the face can be caused by different factors such as sun exposure, hormonal changes or aging of skin. A dermatologist should be consulted for the right diagnosis and treatment.

Hello doctor! I have a daughter and she is 4months old.. She is having skin allergy on cheeks.. Dry, itchy, and sometimes water comes out on her skin due to continues itching. Please suggest some cream. I have used atogla, cetaphil, fucidin.. But condition is still the same.
Female | 4
If the rash is occurring on cheek in 3-4 months old child is most probably due to atopic dermatitis which is dry irritated skin condition resulting in itching and oozy skin. This might also effect other body parts like face, neck, front of elbows, back of knees and child might become irritated. It has to be managed with syndate bars or soaps, proper moisturizers, avoiding the irritants and oral or topical steroids. Proper consultation with dermatologist is advisable.

Hi, I have a small bite on my foot. I think I’m being dramatic but wanted some reassurance as it’s making me feel anxious. It’s not itchy it’s just like a red blotch. I noticed it 2/3 days ago
Female | 29
It's completely understandable to feel anxious about a bite on your foot. A red blotch can result from various causes, like insect bites, allergies, or a minor skin reaction. Since it's not itchy and has been there for a few days, it's likely not serious. However, monitoring for any changes, such as increased redness, swelling, or pain is important. Clean the area gently and avoid scratching. If it worsens or doesn’t improve in a week, I recommend seeing a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation.
