Can Nutrient Deficiency Cause Small White Spots on Your Face?
Is small white spots on whole face a sign of deficiency in some nutrients

Answered on 6th Dec '24
Spots on the face could be a sign of a disease, called vitiligo, associated with white color. This occurs when melanocytes, the cells which produce pigmentation in the skin, are destroyed by the immune system. The best option is to go to a dermatologist who has a lot of experience in the management of patients with vitiligo.

Hi Doctor, I have pain and swelling on my left buttocks. It feels like a pimple, but atleast the size of a golf ball.
Male | 31
You are suffering from a band called pilonidal cysts. These swellings may lead to discomfort and soreness in the rear end. Pilonidal cysts are the results of hair follicles blocking each other. If you are looking for natural remedies, you can use warm compresses and over-the-counter pain relievers to ease the pain. It is recommended to visit a dermatologist for the right diagnosis and treatment.

Problem for rashes plse chat on whatsapp
Male | 21
Rashes may appear due to various conditions such as allergies, infections, or skin conditions. Common symptoms can be redness, itching, and inflammation. To handle less severe cases of the disease, you should keep your skin clean and moisturized and try to avoid irritants. Hydrocortisone creams that are available at pharmacies can be used in order to reduce the irritation. When the rash gets worse, lasts for more than a few days, or is accompanied by fever or severe discomfort, go to see a doctor immediately as it is very important. The latter will figure out the proper cause of the disease and suggest a course of treatment that will suit your individual requirements best. If you do this, you will be sure that the dermatologist will give you the best treatment for your skin's health.

My name Is Shivani Verma . I am 20 years old . I have been suffering from acne marks and acne for many years now.
Female | 20
Acne marks and acne are worrisome but you are not the only one going through it. Acne occurs when the hair follicles get blocked with oil and dead skin cells. The result of this may be pimples, blackheads, or scars. Here are some steps to help yourself: use a soft cleanser to wash it only twice a day. Opt for non-comedogenic (products that don't block pores) skin care products and avoid the temptation to pop or pick pimples. If the problem persists, the best course is to make an appointment with a dermatologist who will evaluate your incoming visit.

While cutting pubic hairs down there, I have cut myself from scissors. Can this cause tatnus. What should I do?
Female | 27
Tetanus disease comes with some toxic dirty cuts that make swallowing very hard as well as stiffness of muscles generally. Such people should ensure the scratch is germs-free by washing it with water and soap and then applying any antiseptic. One should also note that if you have not had any tetanus vaccination within the last ten years, make sure it is done as soon as possible to prevent further infections.

Female | 19
You could be facing excessive hair thinning and loss due to several reasons like stress, poor diet, or hormonal changes. Schedule an appointment with a dermatologist to diagnose the problem. However, focus on a rich supply of vitamins and minerals, as well as avoiding harsh chemicals on the hair after consulting a dermatologist.

I have gone through hair transplant surgery 4.5 months ago. I am suffering from Androgenetic Alopecia. As per the doctor, I am taking minoxidil and finastride on daily basis. However, my hair sheds while I apply minoxidil (10-15 hairs shed) and while I wash my head. Please suggest whether this is normal or should I consider any other treatment?
Hair fall is natural. As the lifecycle of hair has different stages.
- Telogen and exogen are shedding phases of hair cycle where we lose hair. 15 to 20% hair are shed in these phases, therefore it's natural.
- But when you lose more hair than routine, then its a matter of concern. Upto 30 to 40 hair per day is normal. Whatever you lose will grow back according to your hair cycle.
- If you are losing thin hair very frequently then it's alarming as well.
- After starting minoxidil hair fall increases. But that is normal and you will get those hair back because you are not losing them from the root.
Keep using minoxidil and finasteride it will help you.
You can refer this page to find doctors - Dermatologists in India, or you can consult me as well anytime you feel that the state of your hair is seeing no improvement.

Female | 41
You ingested deep freeze gel by mistake, which can upset your tummy. The gel might contain unsafe ingredients if swallowed. Don't worry, but act quickly. Drink water to dilute the gel. Rinse your mouth thoroughly too. If symptoms worsen like breathing troubles, visit a doctor right away.

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.

Male | 24
Fordyce spots are the glands which are present in everybody. These are normal and atomical structures that are more visible in few people and it is completely normal to have them. First it is advised to avoid treatment for the same. If somebody desires for cosmetic treatment then it can be taken care with radiofrequency ablation or carbon dioxide laser which will remove the glands.

I have a tiny small small dot like Black head on my nose tip this got remove whenever i squeeze that with my finger how can i remove my all black dot on my nose tip
Male | 23
We do not recommend that you try to manually remove black dots on the rhinion by squeezing or picking them as it can cause scarring, infection, and even further damage to the nose. These black dots are blackheads that result from the formation of black plugs in the pores. A dermatologist is the right person in the healthcare sector to the diagnosis and treatment of this condition.

Hello I am Vanitha Kotian and my hair is pretty dry and brittle.which shampoo, oil and conditioner do u recommend
Female | 52
dry and fragile hair can result from many reasons such as genetics, poor nutrition or surrounding. On the other hand, it is always advisable to see a dermatologist who can inspect your scalp and strands of hair in order to establish exactly what has caused this condition. They can then offer specific hair care products and treatments that address your needs.

During winter I get bump or swelling in skin. It has pain and sometimes itchy. It goes on its own after 2 weeks but leaves scar on skin. Some days it's erythema nodusum. I have ige level 174 and CBC test is completely normal.
Male | 41
You may have a skin condition related to winter dryness or allergic reactions, both of which could cause inflammation and discomfort. One of the most immediate concerns is Erythema nodosum, which is characterized by painful lumps. Nevertheless, the fact that your IgE levels are raised points out the fact that allergies might be the reason, and the normal CBC shows no immediate signs of severe issues. Treatment measures such as regular moisturizing, avoidance of irritants, and protective clothing have been known to significantly reduce symptoms–an example of cool compresses. You may also consult a dermatologist for further advice.

I am confused in between lipoma and cancer. I have some reports can you please confirm that what i have tumer lipoma or cancer tumer. The doctor is not clearly telling anything to me.
Male | 30
It’s completely understandable to have concerns about lumps and the differences between conditions like lipomas and cancerous tumors. Lipomas are typically soft, painless fatty growths that move easily under the skin. In contrast, malignant tumors often present with changes in size, shape, or tenderness. For clarity, I recommend gathering the reports and seeking a second opinion from a dermatologist. They can review your specific situation and offer the best guidance.

Psoriasis makes the skin get red, scaly patches, which could be itchy or annoying. It goes like that when your immune system is in turmoil, it ends up targeting healthy skin cells. To cope, various treatments such as creams, ointments, and sometimes pills can be used in a way that the symptoms are kept under control and the skin remains more comfortable. Make sure to communicate with a dermatologist to get the best plan for you.

Hello I have nose Whitehead
Male | 25
It is typical for the nose to have whiteheads. These are the things that we, the people, call tiny white spots and that are the result of oil and dead skin cells that have clogged pores. Might be you just have oily skin or acne. Whereas a gentle cleanser will be enough to remove dirt from your face when you wash your face twice a day. Do not squeeze out the whiteheads to avoid infection. Non-comedogenic products should be used, and you may visit a dermatologist for more recommendations.
