More big Pimple on face and black spot and white spots
Male | 19
Pimples are the result of clogged pores due to oil and dead skin. Dirt or oil that is entrapped may be the reason for the formation of black and white spots. For help, the best way to go is to wash your face delicately two times every day, use products that are oil free. However, if it persists consult a dermatologist right away.

I m 20 year old student. My skin type is oily nd I tried many skincare products like niacinamide dot and key and derma hyluronic serum. Which made my skin worse. Now I am having acne prone skin with nodules and scars, now i m just using nothing but a medimix soap. What should i do now ??
Female | 20
Nodules are deep, painful bumps under the skin. Oily skin can make acne worse. Some of the products may not fit your skin. Using only soap is alright but acne won't be treated by it. Use a mild cleanser and non-acne-causing moisturizer. Then, visit a dermatologist for alternatives consisting of prescribed products or treatments.

My ureta and upper lips side red but no symptoms its dangerous ???
Female | 22
If your urethra and upper lip are red but you have no symptoms, then it isn't necessarily dangerous. However, the redness may sometimes occur on the skin due to the irritating action of soaps, lotions, and spicy foods. The area has to be protected from irritants while keeping it clean. If the symptoms do not go away, or you experience any discomfort, you should consult a dermatologist.

Hydroquinone for skin lightening
Male | 18
Let me give you the lowdown on hydroquinone: it’s a common ingredient found in skin lightening products. This is because it works by reducing melanin in the skin. So if you have dark spots such as age or sun spots, using hydroquinone could help fade them away. However, don’t forget that you must be cautious not to misuse it since this can cause some undesired effects. As a rule, always follow directions given by the manufacturer when using any cosmetic product and also watch out for any allergic reactions.

Can my skin color still return after not taking iron supplements for a year
Female | 19
Yes, definitely! Starting iron supplementation can help improve your skin color. Symptoms of low iron, like pallor and fatigue, can show up in your body. Most iron deficiency is due to not getting enough iron in your diet. A balanced diet should include iron-rich foods like spinach and meat. Seek advice from a healthcare professional for suitable recommendations.

Male | 19
Balanitis causes redness and swelling of the foreskin. This could happen from irritation or poor hygiene. Keep the area neat and dry. Don't use harsh soap products. Wear loose, comfortable clothing. If discomfort persists or worsens, consult a dermatologist promptly. They'll properly assess and treat the condition.

Dark skin ke liye kaun sa face wash ya cream use karey and pigmentation ke liye kya use Karen, likewise for oily skin ke liye
Female | 25
The colour of the skin is determined by the amount of melanin produced in the skin. This in turn is influenced by genetic factors, sun exposure, drugs etc. Uneven skin tone, or any other pigmentation which is acquired and not genetic can be treated with various depigmentation creams which are to be used as per Dermatologist’s prescription. Sunscreens are mandatory to protect the skin from tan and other signs of some damage. Procedural treatments like chemical peels, laser toning etc are recommended apart from topical creams to treat the pigmentary concerns. It is not advised to use OTC creams claiming improvement in skin pigmentation without professional advice. Face washes can never treat pigmentation. They can only help clean excess oil, dirt and grime collected over the skin. For oily skin, one can use, salicylic acid, glycolic acid or tea tree oil based facewashes. For more information please visit dermatologist near you.

I'm a 21years old female with infection. I have been to several hospitals with different drugs prescribed, when it seems to go then it comes back again
Female | 21
It sounds like you might be experiencing recurring symptoms, which can be frustrating. Infections can be caused by various factors, including bacteria or viruses, and may result in symptoms like pain, fever, or discomfort. It’s important to identify the specific type of infection, as different treatments are required. I recommend consulting a dermatologist who can perform thorough evaluations and possibly suggest a tailored treatment plan. Keeping hydrated, maintaining good hygiene, and following medical advice are key steps in your recovery.

My 2yrs old is having rashes and black spots, can I give her emzoclox, the rashes normally comes and goes
Female | 2yrs
It's important to understand that rashes and dark spots can arise from various sources, such as allergies, irritation, or skin infections. While Emzoclox may help with certain bacterial infections, it is vital to have a pediatrician evaluate your child’s specific condition first. Observing whether the rashes have triggers like certain foods or activities can be helpful. In the meantime, keep the affected area clean and avoid using products that could worsen irritation.

I have acne problem. My dermatologist suggested me Acnilite soap but now it's not available. So please suggest me alternative to that
Female | 21
Acne is common, causing pimples and oily skin. Hair follicles get blocked with oil and dead skin cells. You can try soap with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. These ingredients unplug pores and reduce acne. Gently wash your face, avoid harsh scrubbing.

I am experiencing some concerning symptoms around the genital area. There is significant redness on the head of the penis and on the skin when it is pulled back. Additionally, a large, raised bump that resembles a pus-filled lesion has appeared on the head of the penis. There is also an unpleasant smell that persists despite washing and maintaining hygiene. The area has small spots and pimples, and the overall appearance is quite inflamed and abnormal. I also feel a burning sensation and itching in the area, which have not improved with regular cleaning. I would appreciate your guidance on this. I am not very sexually active(once a month)
Male | 21
The redness, bumps, and horrible odor are the issues, and the burning and the itching bother you more than they should. Proper hygiene is a defense against the illness; however, self-treatment may not be effective. You should go to a dermatologist to be examined thoroughly and receive accurate tests. They can draw up a diagnostic and treatment plan that suits your condition and deals with the symptoms efficiently.

I am facing acne issues in face and they are leaving marks as well on face.
Female | 28
Many people deal with acne. These are small red pimples that appear on the face. Sometimes these pimples go away but leave behind ugly marks. They happen when oil mixes with dead skin cells and blocks the tiny holes in your skin. To avoid this, cleanse your face every day using mild soap, and don’t squeeze the spots. Additionally, you may want to seek help from a skin specialist who can offer more guidance.

I have alot of head lice and nits in my hair should i use ivermectin 6mg tablet for it or not
Female | 21
Head lice are little bugs that reside in your hair and give you an itch. The nits are the ovum of their species. Treating head lice is crucial to prevent the occurrence of new infections. Ivermectin tablets are an effective treatment although you should consult your doctor first. Shampoos are some of the over-the-counter treatments that may also be effective. The washing of clothing and bedding is necessary to avoid a second infestation.

Blood clots on the legs, hips, and back may be an symptom of the disease called vasculitis. They become painfully tender to touch when pressured. This involves the deterioration of the blood vessels which may be caused by many different factors. It is so important to visit a dermatologist who will be able to provide you with the exact diagnosis and treatment plan.

Male | 26
A bump in the middle of your neck on the left side might be caused by many different things. Sometimes it may be a swollen gland, an infection, or even a harmless cyst. If it hurts, grows, or causes other symptoms then it’s best to get checked out by a dermatologist. Don’t worry most of the time these lumps aren’t anything serious and can be easily treated.

Why there is a swelled fat clot on my upper area of hand
Male | 15
If the fat lump is on the back of your hand that could be a lipoma. Those are the benign growths of fat cells that seldom have any adverse effects. But, it is always better to go to a doctor for examination and diagnosis. In this situation a dermatologist would be the right specialist to consult.
