Answered on 30th July '24
Your friend might suffer from sialadenitis, an inflamed salivary gland condition. A blockage prevents smooth saliva flow, causing swelling and pain around the jaw. Since teeth weren't problematic, glands could be the culprit. Warm compresses and water intake might ease discomfort by promoting saliva flow. However, if swelling persists, visiting a dermatologist is advisable for assessment and potential treatment.

I had chicken pox 2 years back and the mark of chicken pox was left on my hand, 2 days back I had dipped cotton inside dettol and wrapped that on the mark. When I opened it yesterday I had 2 bubbles beside those marks on my skin
Male | 16
You may have gotten sores next to the chickenpox scars on your hand. These sores might be caused by irritation or infection. Do not scratch or pop these sores because doing so can make them more infected. Clean and dry the area. Using a soothing lotion or getting checked out by a dermatologist would also help to prevent complications.

Treatment for syringoma either cream or oral
Female | 32
Syringomas can form tiny bumps around eyes. They normally don't cause trouble. Certain face creams with retinoids might fix them a bit. Medicine like isotretinoin can help too. However, these don't always remove syringomas fully. For better removal, procedures like lasers or minor surgery could work instead. You can contact a dermatologist for that.

I am 30 years old. I had bumbs after shaving. Few weeks later it turned to sore and start spreading around my penis cap. Now I have open wounds and sore on my penis cap but it's not scratching or itching me. It's just there normal but spreading Please I need someone to tell me what to do????????
Male | 30
You may have a skin infection on your penis cap, which can occur after shaving. The bumps which get transformed to open wounds and are spreading could be a sign of a bacterial or fungal infection. Even though it's not itching, it's still important to get it checked by a dermatologist. The medicine might be antibiotics or antifungal cream for it to be better. Make sure you keep the area of the body clean and dry to avoid the further spreading of the infection.

Common warts ko kese thik kare
Male | 19
Warts appear mostly on the hands and feet. Sometimes they have black dots inside them. Though not harmful, warts can be annoying. You can use over-the-counter salicylic acid to remove them. Keep the area clean and dry. Don't pick or scratch warts, or they may spread. If they don't go away, consult a dermatologist.

I have red itchy bumps which started with 2 on my foot and has been spreading till the shoulder. It looks like chicken pox but I don’t have any fever and these doesn’t have puss in them.
Female | 25
You could have shingles, a condition with red and itchy bumps. The chickenpox virus causes it later in life. It spreads from an area to another area. Despite no fever, you should see a dermatologist. They'll confirm the diagnosis and give treatment.

I have Rashes on my under thighs it's been more then month have used rash cream but it's still itching and rashes are visible
Male | 54
You're having rashes under your thighs that won't disappear. The itchiness and rashes could result from skin irritation or fungal infection. Using rash cream didn't help, so you might require prescription cream from a dermatologist. Keep that area clean and dry; wear loose clothes. Don't scratch to avoid more irritation.

Hello doctor. I am rohit bisht. I am 18 years old. Please suggest me how to recover and stop hair whitening
Male | 18
Hair going white with age or being genetic is a usual thing. Skin problems and tension also cause this. Do something for yourself if under stress; take deep breaths maybe start doing yoga. Have a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals as they play a crucial role in preventing premature greying. If possible use plant-based dyes because they don’t contain harmful chemicals however; don’t forget to handle your hair gently while dying it so that you may not end up damaging it further.

I have hyperpigmentation on my skin. I have consulted determotoligst but it's not getting reduced I'm using those creams also in 26 years old
Female | 26
Any hyperpigmentation not responding to creams has to be reviewed. Skin biopsy may be needed to understand the condition and treat accordingly. Sometimes oral medications may also be necessary along with procedural treatments like chemical peels, qsyag laser etc may be needed to get rid of the pigmentation once the diagnosis is established. Understanding the cause and making a proper diagnosis is essential to resolve the hyper pigmentation. For more information please visit dermatologist near you.

Your talking about alopecia areata. Main line of treatment for alopecia areata is local and intralesional steroids. Oral and local immunosuppressant are also very effective. Pls try for TOFACITINIB 5MG TWICE A DAY AFTER FOOD. Reach out to me or any dermatologist for further evaluation and second opinion - Dermatologists in India.

i randomly got a red lump on my upper back . it’s red but it does not hurt . it’s swore and there’s like a black hole in the middle of it too . it’s also pretty warm . i would think it’s a blackhead but i’m not exactly sure
Male | 24
It seems like you could be suffering from what is known as folliculitis, or skin abscess. These usually start as red lumps that are painful when touched and often contain pus inside. They are caused by bacteria entering the body through cuts on the skin but can also occur near hair follicles if they become infected. It’s important not to try and squeeze them because this could push the infection further into your system; instead, apply a warm flannel or hot water bottle wrapped in a towel over the area several times a day which should help draw out any trapped matter. If this issue continues, you can visit a dermatologist.

I AM 29 YEAR MALE MY NOSE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE MOLE WHAT SHOULD I DO
Male | 29
Moles on your nose seem ordinary and usually don't cause harm. Their appearance could stem from genes or being exposed to sunlight. If these moles maintain their size, shape, and color, there's typically no reason for concern. Still, monitoring them closely and using sunscreen to shield your skin remains advisable. If any changes occur, consult a dermatologist.

My brother's Pranav is suffering from heavy hairfall . He is losing his hair at both sides. He is giving his jee mains exam ,so stress is obvious..Also his diet is home cooked food only. Please suggest what to do..Because at early age, he is feeling under confident for hairloss
Male | 18
It's understandable to feel concerned about hair loss, especially during stressful periods. Factors such as stress, nutritional deficiencies, or hormonal changes can contribute to this issue. Encourage your brother to maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, particularly those that promote hair health like biotin, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids. Practices such as regular exercise, adequate sleep, and mindfulness techniques can also help manage stress. While these steps may be beneficial, it's important to seek guidance from a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized recommendations.

I has a problem in my skin. It is soft and week how to solve it.
Male | 18
Soft and weak skin can signal the presence of multiple diseases such as Vitamin deficiencies and connective tissue disorders. I suggest you pay a visit to a good dermatologist who will examine your skin and conduct tests to come up with a diagnosis of the underlying cause. From the diagnosis, the dermatologist can propose suitable treatment to increase the health of your skin.

Why would nothing come out when doctor lanced a cyst
Male | 39
Along with the cutting of the cyst, the doctor expects to see some liquid or pus discharge. Empty content indicates that there was no fluid inside. It is crucial to follow up with the doctor who carried out the procedure or a dermatologist for future management of the lump.

I’m feeling embarrassed to say it, but I’m saying it anyway. I’ve got some bumps on my penis, and it’s itching here. What should I do now? Which department’s doctor should I consult?urologist?
Male | 19
I get it, you might be ashamed of what you did, but in the end, your health is what is most important, and I respect you for coming up to deal with it. The bumps and the itchiness of your penis may have been caused by an infection, an allergic reaction, or a condition affecting the skin. For the best case scenario, you should visit a urologist. They are the doctors who treat matters concerning the urinary tract and male reproductive system.

I am 24 yr old female. I used a cream on my face for 2 days.. as a result a lot of redness came out from my face. Plz suggest any medicine...
Female | Anjali jha
It sounds like you might be experiencing a reaction to the cream, which can cause inflammation and redness. This may occur due to irritation or an allergic response to one of the ingredients. To soothe your skin, consider using a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer and avoid harsh products for a few days. Applying cool compresses can also help reduce inflammation. If symptoms persist or worsen, it’s advisable to consult a dermatologist for appropriate evaluation and tailored treatment.

I have cut marks on hand can it be removed by laser treatment?
Male | 24
Laser therapy sometimes treats cut marks on hands. This targets damaged skin, fading marks by promoting new growth. Results are best on fresh red marks. However, older deep marks may not respond well. Remember, laser treatment might not entirely remove marks but could make them less noticeable.

Hives seem to be your issue. Red, itchy spots appear on skin when histamine is released. This can happen due to allergies, stress, or infections. For relief, use antihistamines and apply cool compresses. But if hives continue, see a dermatologist.
