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.

Could scabies spread through me being fully clothed and sleeping in a bed and then someone else using the bed
Female | 20
Yes scabies can be transmitted even when you are fully dressed and lay down in bed. Scabies occurs due to the movement of very small mites that may transfer from one person to another through direct contact or via the exchange of bedding and clothing. If in doubt, and you’re suspicious, that you have scabies, it is advisable to seek the help of a dermatologist

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 am 18 years old , I don't know why now a days I'm feeling that my lips are becoming swollen and red and very itichy or painful. Stomatitis in inner upper and lower lips I guess .
Female | 18
Looks like it could be stomatitis, which can lead to swollen, red, itchy, or even painful lips. The reasons for this can be irritation, allergies, infections, or the lack of nutrients. Try eating bland and not acidic or spicy foods, keep drinking enough water, and think about using lip balm with calming ingredients like aloe vera or coconut oil. If the symptoms persist or worsen, visit a dermatologist.

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.

Itchy, mosquito-like bumps that appear randomly on your body after unprotected sex could be an allergic reaction or a sign of a skin infection. It's important to see a dermatologist as soon as possible to properly diagnose and treat the condition.

Male | 24
You may have a common virus known as genital herpes. They can cause redness, blisters, sores, burning, and itching. The most crucial thing is to abstain from sexual relationships until you talk to a doctor at a hospital or a clinic. As before, they will give the patients antiviral medication to control the symptoms and to stop the onset of the outbreaks in the future. It is important to first visit a dermatologist to verify the illness and be prepared for the treatment.

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.

You might be suffering from a genital infection that has affected your penis. This infection's symptoms could be redness, itchiness, strange discharge, or a hurt while you urinate. Infections can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. The first thing you need to do is wash and dry the genital area. You should not have sex until the infection is gone. You may do better with the homeowner antifungal or antibacterial cream you may buy, but if the symptoms are still there, you better go to a urologist.

More big Pimple on face and black spot and white spots

Pimples are the result of clogged pores due to oil and dead skin. Dirt or oil that is entrapped may be the reason for the formation of black and white spots. For help, the best way to go is to wash your face delicately two times every day, use products that are oil free. However, if it persists consult a dermatologist right away.

I’m facing a lot of hairfall my scalp gets oily after 12 hours also I’m having a lot of dandruff which is not dry like it’s oily without applying any oil my hair from outside looks damaged and dry
Female | 23
Lots of oil from your scalp could cause hair fall. Your scalp may quickly become oily after a few hours. You might have oily dandruff flakes. Your hair may seem dry and damaged. Together, these signs point towards seborrheic dermatitis. This skin issue makes your scalp produce too much oil. The extra oil leads to dandruff and hair troubles. A medicated shampoo for oily dandruff can improve your scalp health and can reduce your hair fall.

Pimple problem and hair fall solution
Female | 23
Pimples develop when oil and dead skin cells obstruct hair follicles. Stress, hormonal changes, and insufficient face washing contribute. To address pimples, wash your face twice daily, refrain from picking them, and use gentle products. For hair loss, consume a balanced diet, manage stress, and use mild shampoos. Consulting a dermatologist may also prove beneficial if concerns persist.
