Developed yeast infection while taking Bactrim for skin?
I’m taking Bactrim for a skin infection but I have now developed a yeast infection
Dermatologist
Answered on 6th June '24
This occurs when you take antibiotics such as Bactrim for a skin infection. Itching, redness, and strange discharge are all symptoms of yeast infections. To relieve these symptoms, try using an over-the-counter antifungal cream. You can also prevent yeast infections by keeping the area clean and dry. If the symptoms don’t go away, be sure to see a dermatologist.

Hlo this is Pooja I have acne spots and dull skin I used lots of cremes but did not work
Female | 18
Acne spots can be treated with depigmenting creams containing ingredients like hydroquinone, kojic acid, glycolic acid, arbutin etc. A good skin care regimen with mild cleanser, moisturiser and a broad spectrum sunscreen are also equally important. Also picking or scratching the acne is to be avoided for it may worsen the spots. Skin creams are to be used as prescribed by a dermatologist who would understand your skin type and recommend accordingly. If the acne spots are severe chemical peels or laser toning may be recommended by the dermatologist.

It started with an itch and I constantly scratched it and it got red inflamed and possible signs of infection!
Female | 22
You might be struggling with a skin problem called dermatitis. What is common is to scratch the itch often. It will make the skin red and inflamed. In the case of an infection, the signs can be warmth and pus. Scratching should be stopped, and the area kept clean. A gentle moisturizer can work. If it doesn't get better, visit a dermatologist.

Hello sir/ma'am please suggest me any skin cream. I used elosone ht cream over my skin for 3 month, that have affected my skin. And one of my friend told me that i have a skin atrophy. My skin where i use to apply the cream is completely covered with a dark layer. Can you please suggest me any cream so that the affected area can be fade out by time. Please ma'am its a humble request to you. It feels very bad and i cant even go outside due to this.
Female | 18
Using the cream may have caused your skin to become thin and fragile, a condition known as atrophy. The dark layer you see could be a result of this. Try using a gentle moisturizing cream with ingredients like aloe vera or oatmeal to help fade it over time. Avoid strong products and give your skin time to recover. Always do a patch test on new products before applying them to larger areas.

I have a rash on breast for a year changes slightly recently. No other symptoms
Female | 40
A rash on the breast persisting for a year and showing recent changes should prompt a visit to a dermatologist. While it could be benign, such changes may signify underlying issues like dermatitis, fungal infections, or even rare conditions like Paget's disease of the breast.

Skin rashes eight leg bottom and chest both sides redesh
Male | 38
The rashes on the bottom of the leg and the chest may be due to allergies, irritants, or infections. Try not to scratch the rashes to make them get worse. Keep the skin clean and moisturized, which may help. If the rashes still don't go away or get bigger, it's better to get a dermatologist to help.

I applied a sunnies face lipstick accidentally ( without examining the lipstick before because i had used it yesterday and it looked fine ) today there was some yellow thin patch on the top part of the lipstick , I wiped it off with water , applied face was ( ponds ) on my lips and then brushed my teeth. Is it okay? should I be concerned? I am not feeling uncomfortable. what should i do with the lipstick? I applied it on my hand ( path was removed after i applied on my lips ) and the texture was fine , with no rash. should I wait and see if the mold regrows? Also i store my lipsticks in dry cool place and i have never mixed it with any other lipstick i just bought it a month ago and used only a few times.
Female | 17
You used a lipstick that may have had some mold on it. Makeup products mold due to age or contamination sometimes. The yellow spot you noticed could be mold. You do not feel any discomfort, so you are probably fine. Always remember to wash the lipstick before using it again. You should also check for any changes on your lips and see a doctor if you notice something unusual.

Please I've been over sweating this past week, I don't know why. I sweat a lot in sunny conditions, but this time it's soo much worse I don't know why. My height is 5 feet 5 and my weight is 90kg. Please what do you think the problem is?
Female | 22
Hyperhidrosis may be warned by profuse sweating, specially in sunny days. But one must rule out any underlying medical condition such as thyroid or inflammatory disease. I advise you to visit a dermatologist for assessment and diagnosis. They can offer treatments and guidance on the condition’s management.

My age is 18 and my skin is so dark as being teenager what should I do so that my skin start brightening
Female | 18
It is important for young adults. It is also important to be aware that skin can become dark because of factors like inherited genes, exposure to the sun, or hormonal imbalances. Taking a lot of water, eating well, and using sunscreen can be helpful if you want to lighten up your skin tone. Always use a mild soap when washing your face consider gentle cleansers and moisturizers. In case, there is no improvement visit a dermatologist who will help guide you on what should be done next since everyone’s skin is not the same as the other person's.

Female | 19
You may be suffering from a scalp abscess, which occurs when bacteria become trapped under the skin, causing an infection. Painful draining sores and a lump on the neck are common symptoms. A dermatologist should be consulted for appropriate treatment even if warm compresses help.

Female | 26
Taking Pistonor 2 alongside Centrizine raises the odds of feeling sleepy and dizzy. These meds make you drowsy. Driving or handling machinery becomes risky. Always consult your doctor before mixing drugs. You'll avoid unsafe outcomes. !

I have hair loss and hair thinning my father have bladness
Male | 23
Hair thinning and loss often happen due to various reasons. Our genetics play a role; baldness in fathers increases changes in children. Additionally, stress, poor nutrition, and illnesses contribute to hair problems. Maintaining good diet, managing stress, and gentle handling of hair help address this issue. Using special shampoo, treatments may also promote healthy hair. Visit a dermatologist if the problem continues.

I have got foreskin infection. I tried various tropical creams, and it keeps coming back. Its been over a year now. The foreskin and veins are reddish and a burning sensation when i touch it.
Male | 26
The symptoms you are talking about, like redness, burning sensation, and recurring infection, might be caused by a disease called balanitis. Balanitis is the inflammation of the foreskin. The reasons may be poor hygiene, tight foreskin, or infections. To get better, keep the area clean, avoid using harsh soaps, and see a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

I have itchy buttons all over my body . It started over a month ago but they were unnoticeable and now it’s getting worse it’s all over my back and belly and arms
Female | 20
Eczema might be the condition causing those itchy bumps. This skin issue can worsen over time due to things like dry skin or allergies. To ease the itchiness, apply a gentle moisturizer and resist scratching the bumps. However, if they spread or don't improve, consulting a dermatologist for evaluation and treatment would be wise.

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.

I am a 16 year old female who has only one known allergy, (dust mites), but my hands are hot and seem to swell slightly after using Clorox wipes for an extended period of time today. This has never happened before. My finger looks odd as well, and I’m concerned.
Female | 16
You may be having a slight allergic reaction to the Clorox wipes. Hot, swollen hands and a strange-looking finger could mean contact dermatitis, which happens when your skin doesn’t agree with certain things. Wash your hands with cool water and mild soap to make them feel better, then put on some lotion that will soothe them. Don’t use those wipes right now – and if it doesn’t get any better or feels worse at all after doing this stuff try talking with a dermatologist.

Vitiligo is a medical condition where white spots appear on the skin. It is also capable of changing the color of hair. The exact cause is not known, although it is thought to occur when the cells that give skin and hair their color are damaged. There is no cure for vitiligo, however, treatments such as creams and light therapy may help to make the skin look better. It's best to see a dermatologist for the right treatment.

Your testicles feel red and burning. That's very uncomfortable. It could be balanitis - swelling of the skin. Poor hygiene, germs, or irritants can cause it. Keep the area clean, dry, and wear loose underwear. Avoid harsh products. If it doesn't get better, see a dermatologist for help and treatment.
