Why are boils worsening on my mom's neck?

My mom is 50 years old she is facing some boils above her back side of neck. It's irritating and becoming worse due to the hot temperature of Delhi

It seems that your mother may have heat boils on the nape area and this is because the sweat ducts are blocked leading to itchy red lumps on the skin. Such things are normal during hot seasons for example in Delhi where the climate is hot most of the time. She should keep herself cool, wash that area clean, and apply warm clothes on them too so that they can get better. In case they persist or even become worse then take her to visit a dermatologist.

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.

You may be having a skin disorder known as vitiligo. Vitiligo is a condition in which parts of the skin turn white due to a lack of pigmentation. Problems like the skin shortage of pigmentation appear in white patches due to vitiligo disease. The methods of treating vitiligo can be quite difficult, but they can be handled with the help of some medicines like calming creams, phototherapy, and sometimes surgery. Not using sunscreen and the nervousness of a greater cause can intensify the symptoms. Visit a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment.

Having acne near chin and its very painful and I am suffering it from 2 years and I am diagnosed with pcos but my periods are regular and my weight is under control

Female | 29

Acne close to your chin has a sharp pain for two years it can also be one of the symptoms of PCOS when you do not have irregular periods and your weight is fine. Hormone disruptors like PCOS are the cause of acne in the region of the chin. One thing to notice is that treatments with creams like salicylic acid, and laser resurfacing can be another option if you commit more to finding the right products for your skin. Not only antibiotics but also the ability of drugs to fight against PCOS by lifestyle changes leads to a reduction of acne too.

Iam 36 years old I have oily skin with open pores I need some moisturizer for.my skin to.look fresh kindly suggest

Female | 36

You need a non-comedogenic moisturiser which doesn’t cause any breakout or add to the oily state of the skin. Squalene, ceramide containing moisturisers which do not block the pores are recommended for oily skin. Please consult a dermatologist for thorough analysis of your skin to get a customised prescription suitable for your skin. Each one has a unique skin and has to use  best suitable products to maintain a healthy skin. Open pores can be reduced by using retinol containing creams at bedtime. If they are severe procedural treatments like laser toning, micro needling radio frequency can help.

I seem to have a belly button infection.

Female | 23

If you suspect you have a belly button infection, it's important to take appropriate steps.. Clean the area gently with warm water and mild soap. Keep the area dry and avoid excessive moisture. If you notice signs of infection like redness, swelling, pain, discharge, or a foul odor, consider seeking medical advice.

Herpe­s is a common virus. It causes itchy, painful sores. The­se blisters often appe­ar around your mouth or private parts. You can get it through close contact. He­rpes may seem bad, but doctors can give­ you antiviral medicine. Using protection during se­x helps prevent spre­ading it too. Good hygiene habits are also ke­y.
