Acne is red bumps on the skin. It is common for young people like you. Acne happens when skin makes lots of oil and gets blocked. Taking tretinoin tablets for a long time is not a good idea. It is better to find why the skin gets bumps. Maybe try new skin routines with dermatologist's help.

I am 20 year old female and I am suffering from acne from past few years.i want to ask as my whole skin is dry or I can say very dry...but only my nose is very much oily...so which type of cleanser should I use... creamy or foaming?
Female | 20
Creamy cleanser( low level of PH) will be good for skin that is dry and for part of your skin that is oily(nose) foaming cleanser will be good. But use moisturizer later. I hope this proved helpful.

I am somdatta I am 19 years old I have a swollen ball in genital since few months I feel it is not a boil it is a skin swelling inside sometimes it doesn't go round and sometimes it swells up and it hurts a lot.
Female | 19
You may have a condition known as an inguinal hernia, which happens when a part of your insides protrudes through a weak spot in your groin muscles. It can happen like this: first, there is some swelling that appears to be a bump in your genital area that may go away or spontaneously revive and get painful. A dermatologist should be consulted to examine it and discuss therapy alternatives that can encompass surgical hernia repair.

Dark skin ke liye kaun sa face wash ya cream use karey and pigmentation ke liye kya use Karen, likewise for oily skin ke liye
Female | 25
The colour of the skin is determined by the amount of melanin produced in the skin. This in turn is influenced by genetic factors, sun exposure, drugs etc. Uneven skin tone, or any other pigmentation which is acquired and not genetic can be treated with various depigmentation creams which are to be used as per Dermatologist’s prescription. Sunscreens are mandatory to protect the skin from tan and other signs of some damage. Procedural treatments like chemical peels, laser toning etc are recommended apart from topical creams to treat the pigmentary concerns. It is not advised to use OTC creams claiming improvement in skin pigmentation without professional advice. Face washes can never treat pigmentation. They can only help clean excess oil, dirt and grime collected over the skin. For oily skin, one can use, salicylic acid, glycolic acid or tea tree oil based facewashes. For more information please visit dermatologist near you.

I have skin acne issue Mene BHT treatment krwaya likn treatment k bad Meri skin red huna start hu gae bht red ness h face pe dagh BHT zayda
Male | 22
The reason for this could be the use of ingredients in the skincare products that are too harsh or an allergic reaction. In order to reduce the redness, it is better to stay away from those products that could be causing the irritation and substitute them with mild, non-comedogenic ones. In case the redness still occurs or even becomes worse, it may be good to contact a dermatologist for some other advice.

i am using finasteride 1mg daily for hair loss . i have read that it can cause prostate cancer . is this true or can i take it without any worry
Male | 26
Finasteride is mostly safe to use for most people and it's not a direct cause of prostate cancer. Nevertheless, it can have an impact on the behavior of the prostate which in turn, may result in a PSA test result being altered. If you have concerns, it's always best to talk to your doctor.

I think my belly button piercing is infected
Female | 16
If your belly button piercing appears to be infected, the signs may include redness, pain, heat, swelling, or pus discharge. You can get an infection if you fail to clean your piercing well or you touch it with dirty hands. To assist this, gently clean it with saline solution and avoid using harsh products on the area. Also, do not remove any jewelry from inside the piercing until advised otherwise by a professional. Visit a dermatologist if there is no improvement.

A few days ago I noticed a bump on my head and I thought I just hit my head. After a couple days it started to get a bit bigger and I noticed that it was a pimple on my scalp. I popped the pimple and removed all the pus and it started to bleed for a little bit but it shortly went away. I went to take a look at it today and I noticed a small circular bald spot about 1 cm in diameter where the pimple used to be. When touching the area with my hand I noticed that the hair in that area is really sensitive and can fall out if I rummage my hand through that area. Is this a concern or is this something normal?
Male | 21
A small circular bald spot on the scalp after popping a pimple is not uncommon, but if the area is sensitive and hair is falling out, please see a dermatologist to rule out infection or other underlying conditions.

I have acne prone skin which food is good for me and which food cam worse my acne suggest me some foods so I can cure my acne without Applying pharmacy products
Female | 20
Fruits, vegetables, and grains are very good for your skin. These products contain vitamins and antioxidants that can benefit your skin. Conversely, belief in a protective factor suggests that hormones like androgens cause acne, and poor lifestyle habits by consuming greasy or sweet fatty foods might make acne worse. Drink more water. It is the best way to keep acne away since it purifies your skin. A balanced diet is the most effective means of controlling acne.

REDNESS IN RIGHT EAR AND WHITE LAYER BEHIND REDNESS
Male | 28
If your ear becomes red and has a white layer behind the redness, the cause could be bacteria or fungi. This can take place if water becomes trapped in your ear or if you scratch the inside of your ear. You might also have the sensation of pain or itching. Seeing a dermatologist is important to treat the disease.

I am 15 year old female and my lower face is darker than my upper face. It's not pigmentation or pimple patches. It's totally darker than my upper face. It starts from my chubby chicks to jawline
Female | 15
You might have a medical condition named acanthosis nigricans. It can sometimes cause the lower face to be darker than the rest. It's not dangerous but could be a sign of something more serious, like insulin resistance, that is happening inside your body. You can fix this by eating cleaner, being active, and maintaining skin health. Furthermore, consume a lot of water.

The text in the image appears to be a screenshot of a question submitted to a telemedicine platform. The question reads: * I am a 23 year old male and I'm having rashes on my penis my body and my balls for past two weeks. I have taken an infection injection three weeks ago but haven't gotten any relief. What should I do now?
Male | 23
Rashes on your penis, body, and balls could be a result of infections, allergies, or just irritation by soaps or fabrics. It is therefore essential to visit a dermatologist who will identify the problem. After that, they can give you medication that will help clear them. Remain hopeful- with proper care everything will be alright.

Can an itchy rash with raised white bumps on the arms (which flatten a bit and turn more red with mometosone after itching) be scabies instead of eczema? What about if at the same time on the belly there is a flat rash of red dots?
Female | 19
An itchy red rash with raised bumps may indicate scabies, not eczema. Scabies result from tiny mites burrowing into the skin, prompting itchiness and bumps. Red dots on your belly also suggest scabies spread. Visiting a dermatologist is crucial for proper diagnosis. They can prescribe medicines killing mites, and relieving itchiness. Scabies requires medical attention, unlike typical eczema.

i have fungal infection all over groin area
Female | 30
Fungal infections in the groin can induce itching, redness, and discomfort. They are often caused by heat, dampness, and the rubbing of the skin. To reduce symptoms, make sure the affected area is kept dry and clean, and try using over-the-counter antifungal creams. In addition, wearing loose-fitting clothes can make you feel more comfortable. In this respect, it is highly recommended to see a dermatologist for proper advice.

I am 21 year old female and I have these 3 squishy lumps, they moveable and spongy and painless and they look and feel like they have some fluid or pus in them but they don't leak , they on my labia majora and I'm worried over what they are. I have had them for 5 years.
Female | 21
Nevertheless, the most likely cause of their appearance is benign cysts either sebaceous or epidermoid types, with them often containing fluid or tissue. This kind of cyst is usually painless and doesn’t usually require any treatment as long as they don’t cause unpleasant symptoms. However, given that they have been around for five years, you should talk to a dermatologist who will carry out a comprehensive check-up.

Hy my name is Simon ,,please am haveing itches on my penis and some place shine white please what's to know the solution thanks
Male | 33
The condition you have is called thrush. Thrush manifests through an itching, the formation of white shiny patches on the penis. It is generally produced by a fungus named Candida. A suggestion is to use a specific ointment that you can buy from the pharmacy. Keep the area dry and clean. If the symptoms are not getting better, visit a dermatologist.

I have rigid black heads and white heads and open pores which kind of clean up I should go for. Nowadays my skin texture which was normal is turning dry.
Female | 25
According to me, you can go for a gentle, non-abrasive deep cleansing. Products that contain natural ingredients like tea tree oil, etc. can help with open pores and do not even have side-effects. For preventing dry skin, you can use natural ingredients like aloe vera etc., which can help keep your skin moist.

You may have itching, and redness in a specific spot on your body. Possible causes: an allergy, bug bite, or irritated skin. Don't scratch! That worsens things. Use a hydrocortisone cream to ease itchiness, and swelling. However, if symptoms continue, see your dermatologist for an exam, and proper treatment.
