I have white patch on my lips
Female | 28
Different factors can cause white marks on the lips. One of the main reasons is a fungal infection named oral thrush. This can happen if the immune system is not strong enough. Besides, it might be pathological damage from bites. To get to this point, it is necessary to do that. If the situation does not get any better, the pain becomes unbearable, and a meeting with the dermatologist is probably inevitable to get a diagnosis and cure the disease.

I am 20 years old. I using the steroids cream in long years. I cant stop now. How to stop it?
Female | 20
Long-term use of this steroid cream should be undergone with caution because it may result in some negative effects e.g. skin thinning and/or infections. The use of the cream should be halted gradually. Cutting the dose of the cream immediately may lead to the onset of the withdrawal symptoms. This calls for consulting a dermatologist.

Male | 19
You have been suffering from allergic rhinitis (hay fever) for the last two years. Symptoms like sneezing, running nose, and congestion can be very annoying. Usually, the things that trigger this allergic reaction are pollen, dust mites, or pet dander. Antihistamines like Montas-L can help you by blocking the allergy response and thus, reducing the symptoms. The regular intake of your medication is necessary for the proper control of your allergy.

I have been suffering from acne since last 4 years, I have tried everything but till now the acne has not gone away, what should I do now to get rid of the acne
Male | 17
Acne occurs when hair follicles are clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It is normal during puberty because of hormonal changes. To help clear up acne, attempt washing your face with a mild cleanser twice a day, and do not pinch or pick the pimples. Moreover, benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid over-the-counter treatments can also be useful. In case these do not work, it is necessary to see a dermatologist.

A rash between your legs near private parts can happen. Sweat, friction, or fungal infection causes it. Clean and dry that area well. Try an antifungal cream from a pharmacy—no prescription is required. If it persists, see a dermatologist for guidance.

I am 21 years old female student unmarried I have pimples on my labia majora for two weeks
Female | 21
It seems to be a specific example of the ailment you are facing, which might be due to irritation, hormonal changes, or mild infections. Pimples in the pubic area can be borne also because of hygiene measures or clothes rubbing. Keeping the area clean and avoiding harsh soaps is important. Wearing clothing that can breathe and trying to limit the number of irritants you have are also possible alternatives. If you see the bumps and they don't go away, get more painful or you find an unusual discharge, it's better to contact a dermatologist.

Mere scalp me 1yrs se papdi padh rhi hai aur Mein selsun shampoo lagati Hu but Kuch asar nhi hai to Kya lagaya
Female | 15
This could be seborrheic dermatitis, a condition causing red, flaky patches. Regular dandruff shampoos may not cut it here. Try using a medicated shampoo with ketoconazole or coal tar instead. If that pesky rash sticks around, it's smart to chat with a dermatologist. They can properly check it out and suggest treatments to make that rash hit the road.
