Herpes zoster, also known as shingles, is caused by the same virus as chickenpox. It can lead to a rash, blisters, and pain. Since the ointment hasn't been effective, I recommend your dad see a dermatologist for further evaluation and possibly a prescription to help with the pain and healing.

I am a 18 year old male, 56kg and a filipino. Three days ago, I ate a spicy food and a day after that I felt a burning sensation when doing my business in the toilet. A day after that I felt a bump near my anus and I'm thinking if its a boil or a pimple. I know that having a boil is pretty hard so I'm scared of what it is and i dont know what to do to stop it from getting worse

You may have something referred to as a perianal abscess. When bacteria infect a tiny gland around the anus, this can cause a painful lump. Soaking in warm water may help relieve discomfort. Don’t squeeze or pop it—try to keep the area clean instead. If it becomes worse or doesn’t get better, you should go see your doctor for more help.

I am 30 year old male and my face cover is dark spots that is called acne Used some medicine one year ago but no any positive results I need help you

Male | 30

There are a few options that you could try. First, it may help if you switch up your skincare routine. Make sure you are using gentle cleansers and moisturizers that are suitable for your skin type. You may also want to look into products that contain salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, which can help reduce inflammation and clear up acne. Additionally, you may consult with a dermatologist to discuss further treatment options. They may be able to recommend a prescription topical treatment or a course of antibiotics that could help clear up your acne.

I'm 25 years old and I have very old dark mosquito bite marks and scars on arms and legs. Please tell me how to get rid of it and make it fade.

Female | 25

The marks are the result of the body's response to the mosquito's saliva. They may gradually diminish by themselves over time, however, you can also apply over-the-counter creams with ingredients such as hydroquinone or vitamin E that will help in the process. Remember, use sunscreen and cover your skin to avoid more bites.

I have psoriasis in the same finger of both the hands. I have tried several treatments but it is not getting any better. How to deal with this?

Female | 24

Psoriasis can be a chronic skin condition that require ongoing treatment. If you have tried several treatments without success, then discuss with a dermat to determine appropriate treatment plan for your condition. Medications, phototherapy, or biologic treatments are few options. Moreover you can try to avoide stress, smoking, and alcohol, and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Hello. Roughly one month ago I purchased a home wart removal kit to remove what appeared to be a benign wart on the back of my knee. The nozzle on this device broke during use, spraying an area roughly two inches in diameter on my skin with dimethyl ether. This caused a small superficial frostbite/burn, but didn't take care of the wart so I used another kit afterwards which used a swab rather than a nozzle. After using both of these, the area blistered. This blister quickly popped and fell off on its own after just a day, leaving an area of incredibly raw and bloody skin. I applied neosporin to this area regularly and kept it clean allowing it to heal. It's been a month now and while this area isn't entirely healed, it has protective skin on it now. My issue here is the area has a blotchy dark coloration now, looking almost like bruising. This seems odd to me given that it's been a month now, should I be worried about this coloration? There is no pain at the site, though the skin there is quite thin and rough.

Male | 32

Its natural to experience discoloration in skin especially after a blister or wound has occurred. color changes during the healing process. It could be due to hyperpigmentation which is the increased production of melanin in that area. This can result in a bruise-like appearance.

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.

Red rases in my face nd it’s itching. And itching in my scalp nd hair white issue

Male | 24

It seems that dandruff might be one of the conditions. The main symptom of dandruff is itching, and white particles of skin can be seen on hair. Sometimes, this condition might also produce red patches on the face, especially around the hairline area. The pathogen fungi on your scalp cause dandruff. For example, choose a shampoo that is specifically designed for dandruff. In particular, washing hair regularly along with the stress management procedure may also be beneficial for you.
