Answered on 26th July '24

You likely have­ a persistent jock itch case. This condition re­sults from fungus thriving in warm, damp regions like the groin are­a. Over-the-counter antifungal cre­ams often help, yet some­ cases prove resistant. To e­ffectively eliminate­ the fungus, I suggest consulting a dermatologist for prescription-stre­ngth antifungal medication.

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. Pay attention to general health, softer hair washing and scalp massage. If hair loss is heavy, prolonged, or associated with scalp problems then it’s advised to see a dermatologist. You are not the only one, and your hair will likely be back to normal!

According to your symptoms, it is melasma that you might have. It is common during pregnancy as dark marks are forming on the face, especially on the nose and cheeks. It is recommended to visit a dermatologist who can accurately identify and treat your condition

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.

Female | 30

You must visit a dermatologist first. You may try using natural remedies such as topical applications of lemon juice, almond oil, and aloe vera gel to help reduce the appearance of the black spots on face. Also practice good skin care habits such as avoiding harsh soaps, using sunscreen, and avoiding excessive sun exposure.

I have rigid black heads and white heads and open pores which kind of clean up I should go for. Nowadays my skin texture which was normal is turning dry.

Female | 25

According to me, you can go for a gentle, non-abrasive deep cleansing. Products that contain natural ingredients like tea tree oil, etc. can help with open pores and do not even have side-effects. For preventing dry skin, you can use natural ingredients like aloe vera etc., which can help keep your skin moist.

Hi. I've a question regarding my niece's skin problem. She is a 7-years old. She has developed red patches of skin on her cheek, chin and around nose. The affected area of her cheek is very dry. I brought her to a doctor who prescribed two creams, mezoderm(betamethasone) and gentamicin-akos which made things far worse. Then at the pharmacy I was advised to use ftorokart(also a cream with triamcinolone) for my niece's face. After a few uses of the cream, I've seen some noticeable improvement in her skin condition since she started to use it. It took the redness out of her nose. But she still has rash and blisters on her face. I took photos of her face in case it might be helpful for you to identify the reason for her skin condition. Here are the photos of hers: https://ibb.co/q9t8bSL https://ibb.co/Q8rqcr1 https://ibb.co/JppswZw https://ibb.co/Hd9LPkZ Would you mind helping us to identify what caused this skin condition?

My mother and brother have chicken pox. It's been 4 days and taking medicine. I have had this disease before. Is there any possibility of more coming as I am taking care of them? My father is on medication after his stroke. So, can he take preventive medicine? Is there any use in consuming it for so many days? Since we are all in one house, there is a common toilet. Cleaned with Dettol after each use. Is there a problem with that?

Female | 45

It's so cool that you worry about your family's health. As you have already had chicken pox, you are in all probabilities immune to it. Your dad who is in the process of stroke recovery should not use any preventive medicines on his own without consulting with the doctor. It is a good thing to wash the toilet with Dettol to reduce the possibility of the germs spreading. Pure, practicing the supreme rudiments and caring for one another will be enough to get by!

I am Himanshi, a 20 years old student. From last 2 years I am having acne on my face, which occurs suddenly in a bunch and are itchy as well. These are small and similar to each other and painless. I am having these on my forehead chin and cheeks. In summer these become worse. These not look like as pimple. From my pov, these are fungal acne (not sure that's why asking).... I hadn't took any medication before.. Using no lotion but a simple Himalaya neem facewash from past many years.

Female | 20

You seem to be going through a skin condition called fungal acne. This type of acne can start suddenly, itch, and can form small painless bumps that look similar. The summer heat tends to make it worse. Using just a neem facewash may not be the only thing you need. Switching to an anti-fungal face wash and adding an anti-fungal cream can be the next step. It is also important to clean and dry your skin properly to get rid of the problem.

Mere private part me bahut jada itching ho arha hai hain Maine v wash se wash karti hu lightly warm water se bhi wash krti hu aur candid b cream use kar rhi hu but vo thoda der thik lagta hain uske baad discharge ho jata hain aur itching start ho jata hain

Female | 23

You may have a common condition called a yeast infection. It is a common disease characterized by burning, a whitish or yellowish vaginal discharge, and also, redness around the vagina and itching. Vaginal yeast infections develop when new fungi appear on this secure bacterial turf. One drop of V wash liquid on the sanitary napkin and one drop on the private part will soothe your pain and prevent you from itching. When you temporarily mitigate the disease using V Wash and antibiotics, it does not mean it has been healed for good. Only by using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole can you get fully cured.
