Psoriasis is a skin condition that can't be cured but can be managed well. It causes red, scaly skin patches. These are often itchy or painful. Its exact cause is unknown. But it's thought to be linked to the immune system. Some medicines help control its symptoms. Like creams for the skin or pills taken by mouth. Psoriasis isn't contagious. You can't catch it from others. Working with a dermatologist is key. They'll help you find the treatment plan.

If I have a wringworm and start putting blue star ointment on it 3 times a day but also put cortisone cream to soothe the itch will it cause the fungus to spread?
Female | 15
Using it together on a wringworm can actually make the fungus spread. It is recommended to only use antifungal medication to treat a wringworm, and consult a dermatologist for proper treatment.

Skin infection in outside the ear and left out side of lips .
Male | 10
Skin infections often appear on areas like the skin around the ear and the left side of the lips. You may notice redness, swelling, pain, or flare-ups in these spots. These infections are usually caused by bacteria or fungi. To manage the condition, it’s essential to keep the skin clean and dry. Over-the-counter topical medicines can also be used to self-treat fungal infections. If the infection continues, it is better to get the advice of a dermatologist.

I am 21 year old and i think i have balanitis on penis clearley as all the symptoms shows its balanitis only please can you help me with some medication so it can be cured
Male | 21
Balanitis happens when the skin covering the head of the penis becomes red, itchy, and swollen. Sometimes there is a discharge with it. Poor hygiene or a yeast infection usually causes this. To help it go away, clean the area every day and keep it dry. Also, use a mild soap and water. You can try an antifungal cream too. But if that doesn't work, go to a dermatologist for help.

I am 17, since Wednesday I have felt very tired everyday even though I’ve slept well, I’ve had this constant headache near my nose eyes and head which won’t leave. I’ve had a sore throat but it doesn’t hurt to swallow, I looked in the mirror today and it’s red, my tongue has spots at the back and abit of my mouth is swollen I think. I’ve taken paracetamol and it hasn’t helped and I don’t know what to do
Female | 17
You probably have a sinus infection. As a result, you might experience fatigue, headache, sore throat, and swollen mouth. The spots on your tongue may suggest an infection too. To feel better, drink water, rest, and see a dermatologist for further advice.

By using the ointments and pills it is controlling but after stopping the medication after cure some days after it is again starting i don't why this is happening and I will be more hygiene and I do bath daily
Male | 18
It looks like you are suffering from a stubborn fungal infection, which can result from the following: dampness, rubbing, or alterations in the skin microbiota. Aching, redness, and discomfort are the common manifestations of it. A good way to manage this is by keeping the affected area dry and well-aerated, applying the antifungal drugs as was instructed, and thus, stopping the treatment prematurely is not a good idea. In case of persistent symptoms, consult a dermatologist who can provide targeted treatment options and conduct some additional examinations for a possible diagnosis.

Hello ,I am M, 54 year old.I have hepatitis A/B vaccine induced psoriasis. Its a Plaque psoriasis(60/70% cover).What are my chances of cure? 100% possible?I am on Stelara & I believe that needs to be stopped? We will be there at neurogenbsi (Mumbai)for my son's treatment for neurodevelopmental issues.
Male | 53
Psoriasis is a disease that creates red and scaly patches on the skin. Stelara can help, but maybe you should discontinue it because of the vaccine-induced psoriasis. The likelihood of you achieving total recovery is not necessarily 100%, however, with appropriate treatment, improvement is highly likely. It is essential to have a conversation with a dermatologist for individualized guidance on this matter.

I have blade cut mark on face how should I remove I am feeling from it as a nervous
Male | 26
You have a cut on your face, and it may be making you uncomfortable. Cuts can happen due to accidents or contact with something sharp. However, there is no need to worry. To help it heal properly, keep the wound clean. Apply a thin layer of antibacterial ointment, and cover it with a bandage if necessary. If the cut is deep, appears red, or is oozing, see a dermatologist immediately.

Hello doctor I am sangeetha .I have hairfall .I have losing 70 hairs per day it is normal or not?
Female | 27
Losing some hair daily isn't unusual. Around 50-100 strands lost is normal. However, excess hair fall can occur due to various reasons. Stress, poor diet, hormone changes, and genetic factors contribute to increased shedding. If hair loss seems excessive or causes concern, consider consulting a dermatologist for guidance.

I am 17yrs old and I don’t knw what is wrong with my eye section I got a huge bumb right above my eye lashes
Male | 17yrs
It sounds like you may have a stye. A stye is a red, painful lump situated near the eyelid's edge. People may suffer swelling, tenderness, and at times even pus formation. Generally, bacteria are responsible for causing styes when they invade the oil glands around the eyelids. You should administer warm compresses to your eye several times every day without squeezing or bursting the infected area to treat it. It might be wise to consult an eye specialist if no improvement occurs, or the condition deteriorates.

Your skin’s red dots are psoriasis symptoms but you must seek a dermatologist for an appropriate diagnosis. Psoriasis is an autoimmune, chronic skin disease affecting the joints. A dermatologist may assess your symptoms and recommend suitable treatment measures.

Female | 38
Dryness or itching are usually due to fungal or allergic infection. Don't use almond oil or any other product on the affected area since it can worsen the condition. Consult a dermatologist and let them check and they may recommend a topical ointment or antifungal or antibiotic cream.

Im a 19old girl I have ringworm issue in my face and neck area I'm facing this issue from many year recently I'm having redness and ringworm on my forehead
Female | 19
You are likely facing a skin infection called ringworm. Ringworm may invade the skin and cause the area to become red and itching. Ringworm is a fungal infection that is caused by a fungus. This fungus develops in warm and moist areas of the body. To clear up the ringworm, use antifungal creams or ointments recommended by a pharmacist. The best way to say dry is through keeping the affected areas clean and dry.

Patient have acnes on there face
Male | 15
Acne happens when hair follicles get blocked by oils and dead skin cells. Hormones can also cause acne to appear. To help prevent it, wash your face gently with a mild cleanser. Avoid touching or squeezing the acne, as it can cause scars. If it's bothering you, seeing a dermatologist is a good idea.

A red bump appear on my neck throat area
Female | 25
A red bump in the throat area can arise from several causes, including irritation, allergic reactions, or minor infections. Often, accompanying symptoms might include itchiness or slight discomfort. It’s crucial to observe if there are any changes in size, color, or additional symptoms like fever. Simple remedies such as warm compresses or over-the-counter antihistamines may provide relief. However, if the bump persists, increases in size, or is associated with more severe symptoms, I recommend scheduling a visit with a dermatologist for an accurate assessment and appropriate treatment.

The pigmentation occurs due to multiple reasons and that can be treated by dermatologists. If the pigmentation is caused by melasma that has to be must with creams for a long time and sun protection using a proper sunscreen, so contact a dermatologist for proper treatment.
