Under your armpits, you se­em to have a persiste­nt rash. Your description suggests intertrigo, a fungal infe­ction. When skin rubs together and moisture­ gets trapped, fungi can thrive. To e­ase itching, try an over-the-counte­r hydrocortisone cream. Kee­p the area clean and dry. Avoid tight clothe­s. Use a gentle, unsce­nted soap. If the rash persists, your dermatologist may pre­scribe an antifungal cream.

I am 27 years old female and have dry skin type. Lately my skin on the torso, waist and hip has become extremely dry & flaky. Even piling doesn't affect it. I then tried aveeno cream which has reduced flakiness, but it's still very tough to touch and skin on these areas has become stretchy as well as scaly. My grandmother had this skin. It's strange because skin everywhere else is normal, but there it's becoming old and wrinkled. I drink 2-3 litres water daily, although piling doesn't help but I still oil everyday. Pls help. I also take vitamin E capsules, sea cod, vitamin c chewables, and B complex capsules. My skin overall is dry and scalp has dandruff because of this too. There are sometimes small patches of dry skin at random areas like back, forearm and torso, and when I scratch away it goes off like flakes. But this dry, rough and wrinkled skin on my torso, waist and hip is bothering me.

There are a few things you can try to help with your dry, rough and wrinkled skin. First, make sure you are using a moisturizer that is specially formulated for dry skin. Look for ingredients like shea butter, cocoa butter, or almond oil. These will help provide moisture and nourishment to the skin. You may also want to try a richer cream, such as body butter or a balm, to provide extra hydration. 

You can also try using a gentle exfoliator to help remove any dead skin cells and promote cell turnover. This will help the skin to look smoother and help with flakiness. 

In addition to using moisturizers and exfoliators, you should also make sure you are getting enough vitamins and minerals in your diet. Vitamins A, C, and E are all important for healthy skin, as well as omega-3 fatty acids. Eating a balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables can help you get the nutrients you need for healthy skin. 

Finally, make sure you are drinking plenty of water throughout the day. This will help keep your skin hydrated and help prevent dryness.

Needs treatment for fine lines,dullness, skin tightening,under eye bumps and Circle,open pores

Female | 26

The fine lines and dullness can occur due to the aging process and sun exposure. The under-eye bumps may be milia or small cysts. Dark circles can be caused by lack of sleep or genetics. Open pores are usually associated with oily skin. You can use gentle exfoliants, retinol creams, eye creams, and skin-tightening serums to help these issues.

It is best to consult with a dermatologist to get an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan for your melasma. Depending on the severity of your melasma, they may recommend a combination of topical and laser treatments, chemical peels, lightning creams. Recommended limiting sun exposure and wearing sunscreen with a high SPF rating, to reduce your risk of further melasma flare-ups.

It seems like you are going through mastitis which is an infection in the breast tissue. The pus-like discharge is a sign of infection. Mastitis can result from bacteria entering the breast via a cracked nipple or blocked milk duct. It is important to keep on taking any prescribed antibiotics and not to squeeze the breast because it can make the infection worse. Ensure you feed and pump frequently in order to clear the infection. With proper treatment and rest, mastitis can generally be cured within a week.

Sir face per fungal infection mark ha uska solution btaye

Male | 24

Patches can appe­ar discolored when a fungus infects facial skin. Ce­rtain fungi grow on skin causing symptoms like redness, itching, and flakine­ss. Prescribed antifungal creams or ointme­nts help treat these­ infections. Keeping infe­cted areas clean and dry assists e­ffective treatme­nt. Although not severe, fungal infe­ctions can leave marks if untreate­d. Following medication instructions precisely boosts tre­atment success rate.
