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 terrified of taking medication because I fear Steven Johnson syndrome

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.

I am 26 year old female. Having itching on legs which gets red than in few days turn black and dry. They are in patches. I have visited skin clinic also still no effect. As well as on hand near wrist there are small small skin eruption nothing field in it only itching is there but it looks very dirty. So what should be done?

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.

Hi , i am 31 years old.since one week i have a fever blister on right side of upper lip .now that blister cause a wound that is so painful and i feel heat in that wound also itching on sides of wound.can i apply acyclovir on that wound

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.

I seem to have a belly button infection.

Female | 23

If you suspect you have a belly button infection, it's important to take appropriate steps.. Clean the area gently with warm water and mild soap. Keep the area dry and avoid excessive moisture. If you notice signs of infection like redness, swelling, pain, discharge, or a foul odor, consider seeking medical advice.

I have dark tan black on my neck

Male | 30

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.
