Hello! Since I’m a teenager I have B.O But since a year ago, I noticed that sometimes my armpits smells like urine.

Female | 23

Teenagers generally face body odor because of hormonal fluctuations. Nevertheless, if you come across a smell of urine, it is better to seek treatment from dermatologists and endocrinologists to get an underlying medical condition ruled out.

I am suffering from a postpartum hair fall issue. What should I do?

Female | 30

Up to 50% of new moms suffer from normal postpartum hair loss due to such hormonal shifts. It typically spikes around 4-5 months and subsides in a period between six to twelve months.

You are not the only one, and your hair will likely be back to normal!

Female | 22

It sounds like your skin is reacting to previous treatments, leading to dryness, irritation, and red bumps. These symptoms may occur after prolonged use of strong products, which can weaken skin barrier function. To help, focus on using gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers and limit exposure to irritants. Consider incorporating a hydrating lotion with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or ceramides. It may also help to soothe inflamed areas with aloe vera. If symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a dermatologist for tailored advice. They can provide effective treatments to restore your skin's health and appearance.

My toe nail is split in half but not fully ot has been like it for a long time about 1 year but I thought it would grow out and the area has became yellow

Male | 14

Your toenail is split and has become yellow? This could be a fungal infection. Fungi grow in warm, moist areas like your feet. To eliminate the fungus, make sure you keep your feet clean and dry. Alternatively, you can try an anti-fungal cream that you can get over the counter. If it doesn't improve after that, see a dermatologist.

Am having Private part itching since 3 weeks now and it is really swollen and I have never seen something like that before, have tried using infection cream but still the same,getting much by each day

Female | 21

I'm glad you reached out. Persistent itching, swelling, and discomfort in the private area can stem from a variety of causes, including infections, dermatitis, or allergies. Since over-the-counter creams haven't provided relief, it's crucial to consult a dermatologist. They can perform an examination, provide a proper diagnosis, and recommend effective treatment tailored to your situation. In the meantime, keep the area clean and dry, and avoid any irritants.

I have red dots on my shaft (penis) and I can't figure out what they are, I've looked at pictures (regrettably) and none of them look like what I have. My first thought was pimples/acne, because I haven't had a good shower schedule nor have I had a good diet, but they don't look like pimples, they have black dots in the middle. I don't think it's itchy, at least the 4-5 bumps on the shaft, but I have maybe 2 or 3 on my scrotum that itch though. I thought bugs might be the issue but I've thoroughly checked my room and there are none. In terms of how they look, they're red, no white, 1 has black in the middle (maybe a growing hair?). I don't think it's any STIs since me and my girlfriend haven't had sex/sexual contact in months, it doesnt look like most of the ones i looked up, and this is only appearing now. I just don't know what to do about this and I need help diagnosing since I don't have the money for a doctors appointment.

Male | 18

It seems you're showing some alarming symptoms. The red bumps with black centers may be due to folliculitis (inflamed hair follicles), burn or a mild fungal disorder. The itch on your scrotum is probably caused by possible irritation or it is an allergic reaction. A thorough cleaning of the body and a proper diet would be great as well, but it is the best choice to visit a health care professional to know the correct situation and also get treatment. They have the capability to provide the relevant care and the necessary reassurance. As health should be your priority, always think about getting assistance when you have a problem.

Female | 34

As you are 34 years old, there might be some hormonal issues leading to acne. Consult local dermatologist for treatment who might prescribe you some topical antibiotics benzoyl peroxide or daplin or oral drugs depending upon the situation. It is advisable to use moisturizers, particularly water-based that do not uproot the pores because medication usage might result in dryness and little irritation. Your Skin will be much better after the treatment for Acne.

Warts are skin growths caused by a virus. They appear on hands, feet, and elsewhere. Bumpy, with black dots. Usually painless, but bothersome. Try over-the-counter medicated patches or freezing sprays to remove. If those fail, see a dermatologist. They offer prescription meds or procedures to remove stubborn warts.

I took two pills of Isotroin 20 two days ago. Could that cause a delay in my period? My period is actually 7 days late. What should I do?

Female | 27

The Isotroin 20 medicine shouldn't be a reason for a woman to have a late period. Nevertheless, anxiety, alterations in your routine, or some other medications could be responsible. Sometimes, missing a period is okay and it's not a reason for worry. If you have been late for your period for a long time, it is a good idea to take a pregnancy test. If you see other strange symptoms or your period is late for a long time, think about going to your gynecologist for a checkup.

Living with sensitive skin can be frustrating. Your skin may redden, itch, and burn, often triggered by genetics and certain products. Use gentle, fragrance-free products, avoid hot showers as they can be harsh, and shield your delicate skin from the sun's rays. With proper care, your sensitive skin can feel comfortable again.

I am a male 17 year old almost I suddenly was showering and checked a bump when I was checking groin area lower abdomen left side and upper part of groin area I found something that is 1 cm and I can feel it? And I checked on other side but it was very small I can feel it but not as outer side as on left side is this inguinal lymph node? Or something serious I am very tensed feeling so scared what is it , I also had ultrasound a month ago of whole abdomen I don't think it was found or seen it that because it's in lower abdomen

Male | 17

The lump you are sensing in your groin region might be an engorged inguinal lymph node. Lymph nodes can get bigger due to different reasons like a cold or a sore. Most of the time, they return to their normal size without any intervention. Mind it, if the situation gets worse, you might experience pain and other signs like fever, do visit a dermatologist.

I am 17 year old boy. I am suffering from heavy hair fall. please help me I have long hair

Male | 17

Hair loss is a normal part of aging, but it might need attention if you notice an excessive amount for your age. Significant hair fall can be due to stress, poor nutrition, or an untreated wound. To address this, focus on your diet, manage stress, and choose gentle hair products. Avoid tight hairstyles that pull on your hair. If the condition doesn't improve, consider consulting a dermatologist.
