Is this a tick bite?
Does this look like tick bite

Cosmetologist
Answered on 10th Feb '25
It’s understandable to be concerned about a possible insect bite. Symptoms like a small red bump, swelling, or a rash could suggest a tick bite. These bites often occur in wooded areas, and some ticks can transmit diseases. It's vital to monitor for signs such as fever, fatigue, or a distinctive bullseye rash, which may require medical attention. If you suspect a tick bite, remove the tick carefully with tweezers and seek guidance from a doctor for assessment and treatment.

Hair problem and Skin problem
Male | 30
If you’re dealing with hair problems like losing hair or having it thin, one possible factor could be stress, poor diet, or it running in your family. Hormonal imbalances, allergies, and not washing your face enough could cause acne or eczema. Don’t scrub too hard when cleaning, and stop picking at blemishes. You can also visit a dermatologist for your issues.

Hair fall problem. Last 1 week I've lost my hair quickly.
Female | 21
Stress, insufficient nutrients, hormonal imbalances, or even the aftermath of an illness can be the reasons for rapid hair fall. A balanced diet, stress reduction, and using mild hair care products will help you. If the issue persists, it may be beneficial to consult a dermatologist to receive tailored guidance.

I am going through severe hair-loss how to cure it
Female | 21
Symptoms usually are marked by losing a heavier amount of hair or thinning patches. One way you can try is to take vitamin-rich food such as biotin and minerals such as zinc, through a balanced diet. Gentle hair care practices, as well as abstaining from strong chemicals, can also make a difference. Nevertheless, seeking medical advice cannot be avoided to determine what exactly requires the intervention and to be offered the right care (therapy).

Hair fall occurs after four days of washing hair.
Female | 17
Losing strands when washing hair can feel disheartening. This issue may stem from factors like stress, nutritional deficiencies, or using harsh hair products. Handle your locks carefully during washing and drying. Opt for gentle shampoos and conditioners to see if it helps. Should excessive shedding persist, consulting a dermatologist is advisable for personalized guidance.

Hello Doc, I am 23 (male) and I have a ringworm on my scalp for couple of years now, it's very difficult for me as people think im unhygienic but I wash my hair 2 times a day or more during summer. Please help me Doc
Male | 23
Ringworm is a common infection caused by a fungus that can result in red circular patches on the skin. The most effective method for treating this condition is by using antifungal shampoos or creams. Ensure that you keep your scalp clean and dry so as not to transmit it to anyone else by sharing hats or combs. If non-prescription medications fail to work, seek medical attention from a dermatologist.

my friend literally woke up with a swollen right side of her face. she had experienced pain on her mouth. the dentist could find nothing wrong and prescribed an antibiotic with no results. her face remains swollen with no discomfot or mobility problems. what would have caused this.
Female | 54
Your friend might suffer from sialadenitis, an inflamed salivary gland condition. A blockage prevents smooth saliva flow, causing swelling and pain around the jaw. Since teeth weren't problematic, glands could be the culprit. Warm compresses and water intake might ease discomfort by promoting saliva flow. However, if swelling persists, visiting a dermatologist is advisable for assessment and potential treatment.

Female | 40
The sweating and rash on your neck and chest, as well as high cholesterol and glucose levels, are all symptoms that can be associated with a condition known as diabetes. The numbness and pins and needles in your feet are evidence supporting this. To clear up the rash and itchiness, sugar level management is the major thing. Healthy eating and physical activity can be wonderful alternatives to start with. A visit to a dermatologist is essential for an accurate diagnosis and treatment strategy.

I have problem of cavity in my teeth. I have long time back pain. I have problem in my stomach digestion. I have appendix.while defection ,I have problem.
Male | 18
It seems you have several health issues. All these might be connected with different things. The reason for the bad smell on the skin may be due to sweat or bacteria. Dry skin or a fungus can cause dandruff. Cavity comes from eating sugary food. Back pain could come from bad posture; stomach trouble could be caused by what you eat or stress. Also having an appendix problem may make it hurt when you use the toilet.

I'm a 39 year old male, I think I have a ingrown hair in my pubic region, it's is red and sore to touch and slightly raised
Male | 39
It sounds like you may be experiencing ingrown hair, which occurs when hair curls back into the skin, leading to inflammation. The redness and tenderness you describe are common symptoms. To relieve discomfort, consider applying a warm compress to the affected area and avoid tight clothing. Exfoliating gently can also help prevent future occurrences. While these measures often suffice, if the irritation persists or worsens, I encourage you to consult a dermatologist. They can provide tailored advice and treatment if necessary, ensuring your well-being is prioritized.

Female | 24
Your skin is giving you a lot of trouble such as clogged pores, uneven pigmentation, acne, acne scars, and dullness. These may be caused by bacteria, the shedding of dead skin cells, and inflammation. You can try using a gentle cleanser, products that respect the skin barrier, medications that contain salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, and sun protection.

According to the information you have given, your left side's visible bulging under the throat could be due to some pathological reasons. This can be demonstrated through infections, allergy symptoms, thyroid disorders, etc. Stay hydrated, get proper rest, and try the warm compress on it, if you can, for a while. If the swelling remains or you start experiencing breathing difficulties or freezing, you must not hesitate to contact a dermatologist.

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.

You're having breakouts and little lumps on your face that got worse even when you took medication for them. These ailments can be caused by the pores in your skin being blocked with oil and the dirt that enters them. Make sure your face is washed with a gentle exfoliating cleanser daily. Moreover, avoid getting too close to your face. If you have the same problem, meet a dermatologist for the correct diagnosis and treatment.

I bought this temosol soap weeks ago since I've using it my face is burning and itching with red spots
Female | 30
Allergic reactions could make your skin burn, itch, and get red spots. When your skin doesn't feel good with the ingredients, it can occur. Simply stop using the soap immediately. Just use lukewarm water to softly wash your face. Also, remember to be as gentle as possible. Another option is to cover your skin with a light, unscented moisturizer if it is such a problem for you. If the situation hasn't decreased consult a dermatologist.

I am 20 years old and I am sweating so much around my neck while sleeping from the past 2 months and it happen in 2 to 3 day regularly
Female | 20
You may have a condition called night sweats which might contribute to the effect of various factors, including anxiety, hormonal changes, or infections. Firstly, try to keep the room cool and comfortable at night, wear light pajamas, and don't consume caffeine before sleeping. In the morning, take clear water as much as your body can accommodate; this will keep the hydrated fluid in your body.
