1 Answer

Answered on 2nd July '24

You may have a condition called acanthosis nigricans. Acanthosis nigricans is a condition that can cause some parts of your skin to become darker, like in the area of your stomach and back. This can occur due to aspects such as obesity, diabetes, or hormone problems. You should do your best to manage your weight, eat a varied diet, and be active to remedy this. Do visit a dermatologist to get the most beneficial plan for you!

I am 21 years old and having forehead acne only and no acne on other part of face and my doctor suggested me isotretinoin should I take it or they are for severe acne?

Female | 21 years

Forehead acne is quite common. It can be because of the sebum the skin makes too much as it gets plugged and distresses the follicles. Isotretinoin is mainly used for the treatment of severe acne, so if your doctor has recommended it, it may indicate that your acne has become more severe and chronic. Make sure you are listening to your doctor and feel free to express your worries if you have any.

Hi doctor i am 13 years old and i have itching in the middle of my thigh and i dont know what is it i think in Philippines this is called hadhad and i think its fungal and what is the medicine of it

Male | 13

Without a physical examination, it is difficult to understand your problem and the cause of it. I advise you to visit a dermatologist for proper diagnosis of your condition. Based on that, he may recommend the right treatment for your problem which can include antibiotic or anti-inflammatory creams.

i want to check my face is my face is healthy or fat

Male | 24

You want to figure out whether it is healthy or there is too much fat, then look for signs like puffiness, a double chin, or round cheeks. A situation like this may be caused by eating too many junk foods and not being physically active enough. To fix this, you can eat more fruits and vegetables, drink lots of water, and move with some activities such as walking, or dancing.

There is a sudden development of a black coloured lump on my lips . Can you please give me details of this

Male | 52

Several factors can cause black lumps. It's sometimes a self-resolving harmless blood blister that happens when you accidentally bite your lip or something more serious like skin cancer. Anyway, always be alert to the piece of the lump being uncomfortable, bloody, or growing in size. It's better to seek counseling from a physician to be cautious.

I got lightly scratched by a stray cat. It did draw blood. I made sure to clean ot properly and use anti-bacterial cloth. Do I need to see a doctor or are there any symptoms to be aware of?

Male | 23

Cats can scratch, and it happens. You've cleaned it properly, which is great. However, keep an eye out for signs of infection, like redness, swelling, warmth, or increasing pain near the scratch. If you notice any of these, see a doctor right away.

From last month I'm suffering with full hair fall the hair is falling from the tip and hair fall is very high

Female | 21

It seems as if you may be suffering from severe hair loss. It may as well have been caused by many factors like stress, hormonal changes or a disease. I would suggest visiting a dermatologist, who could examine your scalp and diagnose the reason for hair loss. They can then develop a customized treatment plan for you
