Answered on 11th June '24
The symptoms you are describing on the undersides of your arms and thighs like occasional itching and white patches when dry could be eczema, a kind of skin condition. This is likely to occur more often in hot weather. Eczema means that the skin becomes very dry and itchy. Using a moisturizer daily and gentle soap may help alleviate these symptoms. However, if they persist or worsen, it would be best for you to see a dermatologist soon.

I have been going to a dermatologist for the past 1 month. I am taking isotretinoin tablets 10 mg. But due to financial reasons I couldn't visit my doctor
Female | 21
You’re using isotretinoin tablets for your skin, which is perfect for acne treatment. Sometimes, dermatologists may slow down visits due to financial problems. The doctor will constantly monitor your situation and modify the treatment accordingly. In case of any new symptoms or concerns, you should contact your dermatologist as soon as possible.

I i have a kind of pimples on penies
Male | 20
The situation is often produced when clogged hair follicles or sweat glands are the case. A clean, dry area can help. Though it may seem innocent, the temptation to pick or squeeze can lead to infection. If they remain or are painful, it's a good idea to go to a dermatologist for more tests.

Hi Sir, which is the best ointment for rashes on my penis head. Please tell me the reason for rashes coming occasionally on penis head. These rashes are not suffering by any itching. They will disappear in 2 to three days.
Male | 51
You are probably feeling a little bit of discomfort on your penile skin. These rashes may be caused by irritants such as soaps, creams, or clothes rubbing against the skin. Since the rashes disappear within a few days and do not itch, then the chances are they are not the cause for alarm. To prevent rashes from recurring, you can try cleansing with mild, fragrance-free soaps and wipe the area down with a dry cloth. If rashes start to itch, hurt, or stay on the skin over time, it would be better to see a dermatologist.

Am 35 year old Getting white head like pimples on forehead
Female | 35
Those whiteheads on your forehead are probably a type of acne called comedones. The hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin cells. Skin conditions can be accompanied by small, white bumps. One way is to use mild face washes with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide which can help remedy the clogged pores.

Hi, I am 22 year old Male, I am suffering from chicken pox from past 4 days, these blisters make me so irritated and By the superstition of my parents I haven't taken bath since days ,could you please suggest me some lotion or anything and shall I take head bath from Tommorow.
Male | 22
Ensuring cleanliness is paramount. Simply bathing often will hopefully ease the itch. If you feel like it, you can resort to using an unscented moisturizer and gently washing your body with aloe vera. You can rest assured that no one will pox you (dermatographic chickenpox) - even if you don't have any other symptoms. The effectiveness of alternative treatments to pharmaceuticals is the reason for the anticholinergic nature. Of course, you will choose food and lifestyle strategies for yourself accordingly excluding the use of antihistamines and corticosteroids. Mention the amount of the herb you want to take as well. You may also consult a dermatologist.

I am having dull and dehydrated skin and dark spots.. Since 3 years I have pimple on nose later I poped it and it turned out to be a dark spot on my nose ???? ..
Female | 14
It seems like your skin is dry and lacks brightness; besides the pimple scars on your nose. Skin becomes dull due to lack of water in it. Spots get darker as a result of spots. Drink water and wash your face regularly using mild soap then apply lotion too. In addition, you can wear sunscreen to prevent the darkening of these patches further.

So about a week ago i was prescribed some antibiotics for my UTI. He also prescribed me fluconazole in case the antibiotics he gave caused a yeast infection. I kinda noticed the antibiotics wasn’t helping bc it was still hurting when i urinate and during sexual intercourse along with it still being red down there and so i took the fluconazole last night and a few before i took it i noticed like 3 red bump like things in the left side crease of my private, i was bit scared of what it might be, i woke up it didn’t look as bad but there was a few more. it has been itching bc of the yeast infect and it hasn’t been itching these past two days but im a little nervous on what the little bumps could be. could it maybe be from the yeast infection or sweat bumps or what
Female | 18
Perhaps you have a yeast infection or a fungal infection in the private area. Yeast infections can cause redness, itching, and sometimes small bumps. These bumps are most likely due to the infection and not sweat bumps. To help this, complete your prescribed fluconazole and ensure the area is clean and dry. Avoid tight clothing and wear cotton underwear. If the symptoms do not go away or get more severe, it’s always good to check with your urologist.

If its only acne marks, continuing your acne treatment with facewash and gels will improve it. Some topical agents also helps in removing the pigmentation and marks of the acne. Even Salic acid 20% gel at night on spots is helpful. Glyco 6 or Glycolic acid 6% is recommended for application on the face. Acne compatible sunscreen is also helpful. Chemical Peeling with glycolic acid or salicylic acid is useful

I want to know about genital warts
Female | 25
Genital warts result from a virus which spreads via sex; they resemble tiny bumpy growths and may appear pink or flesh-colored, sometimes causing itchiness or pain. A dermatologist should be consulted for treatment; this could involve prescribing a cream or carrying out procedures to remove them. The use of protection during sexual activity can help prevent their transmission.

Reoccurring fungal infection at thigh area
Male | 24
Redness, itching, and rash can be caused by fungal infections. These occur when specific fungi come into contact with your skin. To treat these infections, you can use antifungal creams or pharmacy powders. During treatment, ensure the affected area is always clean and dry, as fungi thrive in warm, moist environments. If there is no improvement, consult a dermatologist. To aid your skin's healing and prevent future infections, wear loose-fitting clothing and cotton underwear, which help keep your skin dry and allow it to breathe.
