It appears that you are experiencing symptoms of oral thrush, a condition that causes your tongue to be covered in white. Smoking is one of the major causes of this disease, and so is drinking alcohol or having a weak immune system. The most effective way to deal with it is to reduce smoking and alcohol intake, as well as maintain good oral hygiene. Additionally, drinking more water can also help.

I am 21 year old female... extreme hair fall is there from last 1 month....what should I have to do
Female | 21
You are dealing with a problem of a lot of hair falling out, which can be one of those things that worry you. Stress, poor nutrition, or hormonal changes are common causes of your age. It's crucial to consume a healthy and balanced diet packed with vitamins and minerals. Try relaxation techniques like breathing exercises, guided imagery, and yoga to manage stress. Gently using hair products and not tying hairstyles tightly can also be beneficial.

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.
Female | 27
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.

I am a 22 year old female, my breasts have become more pale and sensitive as of late, and am unsure why.
Female | 22
Breasts changing color and feeling more sensitive is common. This could happen due to hormones, irritated skin, or blood flow changes. Look for other issues like pain or lumps too. If changes last or worry you, talk to a doctor for a checkup.

I am woman age 22 acny on face
Female | 22
This is normal for your age. Acne happens when oil and dead cells clog hair follicles. This causes pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. Try gentle cleansers, avoid oily products, and don't pick your skin. Wash your face regularly with mild soap. You can also visit a dermatologist.

My toe nail is split in half but not fully ot has been like it for a long time about 1 year but I thought it would grow out and the area has became yellow
Male | 14
Your toenail is split and has become yellow? This could be a fungal infection. Fungi grow in warm, moist areas like your feet. To eliminate the fungus, make sure you keep your feet clean and dry. Alternatively, you can try an anti-fungal cream that you can get over the counter. If it doesn't improve after that, see a dermatologist.

I have these little rashes on my neck and I need them to go away I need some type of cream or medicine that would help it so my neck wouldn’t have all of these rashes on my neck it’s so annoying
Female | 20
These welts might result from skin irritations, allergies, or even some skin disorders such as eczema. To help them disappear, you could get an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream. This cream will reduce the swelling. Avoid itching or scratching to prevent further irritation. Also, remember to clean the affected area and keep it dry. But if these rashes are still there after doing all these things then go see a dermatologist.

Vitiligo is a medical condition where white spots appear on the skin. It is also capable of changing the color of hair. The exact cause is not known, although it is thought to occur when the cells that give skin and hair their color are damaged. There is no cure for vitiligo, however, treatments such as creams and light therapy may help to make the skin look better. It's best to see a dermatologist for the right treatment.

Female | 27
You are afraid of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome from drugs. It is a rare but serious skin reaction. Symptoms can be flu-like symptoms, a rash, and blisters on the skin. Medicines or infections can cause it. Before starting any new medicine, speak with your doctor if this is something that concerns you. They will be able to help you choose what might work best for you and watch out for signs of trouble.

Female | 26
It is possible that you are suffering from a skin condition called eczema. Eczema is a chronic condition that causes the skin to become irritated, red, and itchy. If the itching is severe or does not improve with over-the-counter treatments, you should see a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment. A dermatologist can help diagnose the problem and provide you with the best treatment plan. They may suggest topical steroids, oral medications, light therapy, or other treatments to help control your symptoms.

Female | 30
What you might be dealing with is something known as petechiae, which are minute blood spots that result from bleeding beneath the skin. The causes could include some medical conditions, infections, or even taking some medications. Consulting a dermatologist is the most prudent course of action to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.

Female | 19
A Jock itch is a skin swelling or rash that is caused by a fungus. For fading scars, use creams or ointments prescribed by a doctor. The area should be kept clean and dry. To avoid getting it again, wear loose clothes, change underwear daily, and do not share towels. Do not scratch the rash. If it fails to improve, consult a dermatologist.

From your description, it seems you may be suffering with a skin infection or an STD. It is imperative that you make an appointment with a dermatologist or urologist soon to get a definite diagnosis and treatment. Please, do not postpone visiting a doctor, letting the symptoms develop and worsen over time.

Female | 31
You may be dealing with a cold sore that’s popped up on your top lip, making it hurt and itch. That’s probably because of a virus called herpes simplex. Acyclovir is a good choice for getting some relief from this. Just use it like they tell you to. Doing this can help you heal better faster and help lessen the signs and symptoms.

Hlw sir .my face is black head problem
Male | 24
It may be a case where you have a lot of blackheads on your face, but it's not the case. Blackheads are little, dark lumps that come to the skin when hair follicles get clogged with too much oil and dead skin cells. You may realize that they are small, black superficial bumps. To solve this problem, cleanse your face regularly with a mild cleanser and use salicylic acid products to open your pores. Also, avoid squeezing or picking as it can cause more problems on the skin. Instead, if you have a problem with them, you should consult a dermatologist for a solution.

I am a 17 year old girl, recently I noticed some white small point sized or slightly bigger patches on my hips. I don't know what to do, but I'm afraid this might be some big disease.
Female | 17
It might be a common skin condition called pityriasis alba. This isn't something to worry about. Pityriasis alba can lead to pale patches on the skin, mainly on the face, neck, and arms. You can see them better in summer when your skin is darker. Dryness is what makes the skin turn lighter than it’s supposed to be, the reason for this happening is mostly because of dryness. You might also want to consider moisturizing your skin more often with lotion, or drinking plenty of water helps too. If there is no change after doing all these things then go to a dermatologist who will advise on treatment methods for this condition.

When your crook finger is deep, we call that acanthosis nigricans. It only appears in thick, dark aluminum and is always misdiagnosed as skin abnormalities. Weight and diabetes are the main accused ones. Sometimes, it can also relate to hormonal problems. The proper approach is to eat healthy and manage your weight.
