Is white chest patch worrisome?
My dad has a white patch near chest. Is it worrisome

Dermatologist
Answered on 18th Sept '24
A white patch on the neck could be a condition called pityriasis versicolor, caused by yeast growth on the skin. It usually leads to white patches without other symptoms. Anti-fungal creams or shampoos prescribed by a dermatologist can help treat it. Keeping the area clean and dry is also important.

Hair fall occurs after four days of washing hair.
Female | 17
Losing strands when washing hair can feel disheartening. This issue may stem from factors like stress, nutritional deficiencies, or using harsh hair products. Handle your locks carefully during washing and drying. Opt for gentle shampoos and conditioners to see if it helps. Should excessive shedding persist, consulting a dermatologist is advisable for personalized guidance.

I am 19 years old female and I have these painful oozing wounds on the back of my head near my hairline. They are tender to the touch and accompanied by a lump on the back of my neck. I’m not sure what to do.
Female | 19
You may be suffering from a scalp abscess, which occurs when bacteria become trapped under the skin, causing an infection. Painful draining sores and a lump on the neck are common symptoms. A dermatologist should be consulted for appropriate treatment even if warm compresses help.

Some signs are visible such as thick, dark hair in places that are typically men's hair, such as the upper lips or the chin. It could be the result of the imbalance of hormones. Consult a dermatologist for possible treatments including medications and lifestyle changes.

I have wart like mole on my pelvic region since 2 years. It does not itch or burn but bleeds if I pick at it from the sides. It is soft. But it is not from HPV because I am not sexually active. Kindly suggest treatment or medicine because I am getting married soon.
Female | 29
A small growth has appeared in your pelvic area. It may be a skin tag or benign mole. These are common and usually harmless. Having been present for 2 years without issue suggests no major concern. But getting checked before marriage still makes sense. A dermatologist can verify that the growth is benign. They could also discuss removal options, if desired.

Can I use benzoyl peroxide ointment for acne
Male | 13
Acne is a frequent skin problem that affects a person's skin by pimples and redness. Acne can be managed by using benzoyl peroxide ointment. It operates by eradicating bacteria from the skin. You might notice dryness or peeling at first, but it usually gets better with time. It is important to use only a small amount and keep away from sensitive parts.

Using steroids long years. How to stop. Even i stop this my skin was dull and dark
Female | 20
If you've used steroids frequently, quitting them may make your skin look lifeless and discolored. That's because steroids impact how skin produces pigment. To improve your skin, you'll need medical help to slowly reduce then stop using steroids. Be patient - recovery takes time. Eat well, drink water, and wear sunscreen. See a dermatologist if you're worried about your complexion or have other concerns.

I’ve got this rash/spots on my lower back and the top of my butt, what could be causing this? I’ve never had this before; it’s really irrataring me
Female | 26
Rashes on your lower back and buttocks can arise from various factors, including skin irritation, allergies, or infections. Common culprits might be friction from clothing, sweat, or a reaction to products like soaps or detergents. It's essential to keep the area clean and try soothing lotions like aloe vera or hydrocortisone cream. Avoid tight clothing and irritants. If symptoms persist, worsen, or develop additional signs like pus or fever, please consult a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation. Seeking expert advice ensures you receive the most appropriate treatment for your specific condition.

I pressed my boobs a little too hard that now its hurting to much what should i do?
Female | 18
It's common to experience discomfort after applying pressure to your chest. Symptoms might include tenderness, swelling, or sensitivity. Such pain can arise from bruising or muscle strain. To alleviate discomfort, consider resting the area, applying a cold compress for 15-20 minutes, and taking over-the-counter pain relief as needed. If the pain persists, worsens, or is accompanied by unusual symptoms like discharge or severe swelling, it's important to consult a dermatologist. They can assess your condition and provide appropriate treatment.

Psoriasis is a skin illness that makes the body's self-defense system act abnormal. This can sometimes lead to problems during sex. After sex, you may feel very tired if you have psoriasis. The fatigue from psoriasis is the cause of this tiredness. Some supplements can make anxiety worse. The supplements may interact with medicines or start anxiety signs. You should talk to your doctor about treatments that work well for you.
