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.

rashes on balls please help me
Male | 20
There are different reasons why rashes can develop on your testicles. You may also experience itchiness, redness, or small bumps. Profuse sweating, usage of strong detergents, and allergic reactions are common causes of this. Try loose clothing, and gentle soap, and avoid scratching to ease it. In case there is no change after doing these, seek advice from a dermatologist.

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.

This can happen for reasons such as infection, or the fact that you have an allergy. A swelling on both sides can be a realization of a systemic issue. To reduce the swelling, you can try a cold compress and head elevation. Drinking water and not eating salty foods can also be ways to better the condition. It's crucial to make an appointment with a dermatologist for the right diagnosis and cure.

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.

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.

Male | 22
You might have a fungal infection in your private parts, known as the ringworm. The condition is characterized by itching, redness, and a ring-like rash occurring in warm moist places. It may get worse when one is sweating. Antifungal creams or powders can be used to treat it. Additionally, keep the affected area clean and dry for quick healing. Visit a dermatologist if the condition persists.

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.

Hi ..i am 30 yr old girl and unmarried .I have acne breakouts in my face and back ..its so painful and sometime it turns white and give blood from that without touching too .i tried lot of home remedy solutions but still breakout doesn't goes away .
Female | 30
Acne management is a comprehensive approach. That acquires removing of oil using proper facewash, containing salicylic acid, or lactic acid, then avoiding oiling of the scalpels and using tropicals containing cleaner and antibiotics and if hormonal imbalances there, that has to be corrected. So please visit our nearest dermatologist for the same.

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.

The sign appears that you perhaps have an allergy to the Caladryl cream. On the other hand, I suggest you should stop the lotion use immediately and go to the dermatologist for a thorough examination and necessary treatment. The doctor who should consult for this disease would be a dermatologist.

I have itchy skin mostly in legs and hands and private parts
Male | 21
The itching of these spots can be brought about by many things, like dry skin, skin diseases like eczema or a fungal infection. To soothe the itching, use moisturizers, take lukewarm baths, and put on loose, breathable clothes. If the itching is still there or getting worse, you may want to go to a dermatologist for more testing.

what happen if surgical spirit is not apply on skin before injection needle
Male | 23
Before putting a needle in your body, disinfecting the skin area is crucial. It prevents germs from entering, which could cause infections. Signs of infection may include redness, swelling, pain, and fever. So, always clean the skin first when getting an injection. Using surgical spirit kills germs on the surface.

I have pimples and acne on my face . What should I do?
Male | 15
This can happen when your skin gets too oily, pores get blocked, bacteria grows in them or hormonal changes take place. To help get rid of them, you can try washing your face with a mild soap often, don’t squeeze them, and keep your hands off your face. Over-the-counter creams or gels with benzoyl peroxide/salicylic acid may also work for you. Consider talking to a dermatologist for more help.

I am 19 years old and I have a sore on my frenulum on my penis, I discovered it when last hard sex because I was feeling the pain and sometimes the pain is also on the on the corona of glans and the neck of glans
Male | 19
It seems like you might be having a sore on your penis in the frenulum, corona of the glans, or neck of the glans. This can result from irritation or small injuries caused by rough sex. One thing you cannot ignore is to give it some rest and not engage in sexual activity for a while. Keeping the afflicted area clean and dry will speed up its recovery. If the problem doesn't subside, and you are concerned about it, then the best thing would be to have it examined by a dermatologist.
