Severe Allergic Reaction to Benzoyl Peroxide
My sister has a severe allergy to benzoyl peroxide. Her face and neck were swelling in the area of contact last night.

Answered on 2nd Aug '24
An allergic response occurs when your body sees a substance as harmful. It swells to shield itself. Her swelling shows benzoyl peroxide triggered an allergic reaction. Dodging benzoyl peroxide products and consulting a dermatologist about alternative treatments that won't cause an allergy is wise.

I am 18 years old l have used many medicines for acne but haven't changed what should I do?
Female | 18
Acne occurs when the pores get clogged with oil and bacteria. Having a bunch of medications and no benefits can be a terrible thing. It is crucial to keep in mind that everyone's skin is unique. Often an easy skincare program using mild products is the right route. Eliminate harsh chemicals and see a dermatologist to provide you with individualized recommendations.

I have wart like mole on my pelvic region since 2 years. It does not itch or burn but bleeds if I pick at it from the sides. It is soft. But it is not from HPV because I am not sexually active. Kindly suggest treatment or medicine because I am getting married soon.
Female | 29
A small growth has appeared in your pelvic area. It may be a skin tag or benign mole. These are common and usually harmless. Having been present for 2 years without issue suggests no major concern. But getting checked before marriage still makes sense. A dermatologist can verify that the growth is benign. They could also discuss removal options, if desired.

I'm a 21 year old male I have small white patches on the top of my penis along with some red dots and the urethra is inflamed as well as the foreskin and a slight burning sensation when peeing as well as frequent urination and a clear discharge
Male | 21
You might have a condition called balanitis. This issue occurs when the penis' foreskin becomes inflamed and red, and, in some cases, white patches can appear. The burning of the urine and the clear discharge may also be the result of this. Balanitis may occur due to hygiene issues, infections, or skin problems. Wash the area regularly and dry it, not use soaps that are too harsh, and prefer loose clothing. If the symptoms continue, a dermatologist can give medicine to make them go away.

Hi Sir, which is the best ointment for rashes on my penis head. Please tell me the reason for rashes coming occasionally on penis head. These rashes are not suffering by any itching. They will disappear in 2 to three days.
Male | 51
You are probably feeling a little bit of discomfort on your penile skin. These rashes may be caused by irritants such as soaps, creams, or clothes rubbing against the skin. Since the rashes disappear within a few days and do not itch, then the chances are they are not the cause for alarm. To prevent rashes from recurring, you can try cleansing with mild, fragrance-free soaps and wipe the area down with a dry cloth. If rashes start to itch, hurt, or stay on the skin over time, it would be better to see a dermatologist.

Female | 30
Appearance of acne or continuation of acne beyond 25 years of age is called adult acne. Adult acne is most often associated with hormonal imbalance, stress, inappropriate use of skin care products etc.Most common causes include PCOS in women, insulin resistance, certain drugs etc. Treating the underlying cause is important for desirable results. Thorough history, analysis of skin, review of the drugs used, blood investigations may help a dermatologist understand your skin and make a proper diagnosis for satisfactory results. So please consult an experienced dermatologist. You may also need procedural treatments like salicylic peels, comedone extraction along with topical and oral medications like retinoids, hormonal medications.

Male | 17
It sounds like you may have acne and skin condition like seborrheic dermatitis. To manage these conditions wash your face twice a day with a gentle cleanser. Avoid touching your face, use noncomedogenic skincare products, try acne treatments, and use a moisturizer. If the symptoms are severe, consult a dermatologist for specialized treatment.

Skin cause I have white spots like watery in hands and legs what's this
Female | 20
White spots on your skin resembling watery on your hands and legs may be a condition known as eczema. Eczema can cause your skin to become dry, itchy, and red. It takes place when the epidermis barrier is damaged. You could help with eczema by keeping the skin moisturized with mild creams or ointments. Scratching the infected areas driving the course of the disease to a secondary infection.

All fingers have warts please treatment
Male | 18
Warts on the fingers may be caused by this virus named HPV that gets into the skin through cuts or breaks in. Warts are raised lumps that sometimes have tiny black dots. To treat them you can try over-the-counter wart treatments or get a doctor's prescription. Wash your hands often and dry them well to avoid contamination of others with warts.

Female | 28
Stress, poor nutrition, hormones, or genetics could be causing the problem so ensure that you eat well-balanced meals, find ways to relax, and use mild hair products. If the situation doesn’t improve within a few weeks then it would be best for you to see a dermatologist about it.

How to know is its a perenial skin tag or if it is something else
Male | 28
Skin tags appear as small, soft bumps on your body. They feel painless yet bothersome. Often found where skin rubs together: neck, armpits, groin. However, if a growth becomes red, painful, or bleeds, it may indicate something more serious than a skin tag. Consulting a dermatologist is wise to confirm the condition.

Hello doctor, I am 36 years old male and I have had mycosis fungoides for around 3-4 years. My staging concluded as 1A. I have not received any systemic chemotherapy, I have received only topical treatment with clobetasol and bexarotene creams and now my patches are mostly gone. I haven't had serious new patches in more than a year. I am about to get married and start a family. And my question is, can I have kids while having mycosis fungoides ? Would it increase the chances of my kids to have MF ?
Male | 36
Yes, you can have kids with mycosis fungoides. However, it is advised to discuss your plans with your dermatologist who can help guide you through the process. While there is no known risk of your children developing mycosis fungoides, it is important to monitor your children for any skin changes and to seek medical attention if any concerns arise.

My wife is having rashes and itchiness from last 5 years. Whole body. Inside ears and eyes too.
Female | 34
Your wife may be suffering from a known ailment named eczema. Eczema is a skin disease that can cause patches and itching all over the body, including the ears and eyes. It happens when the skin doesn't function as a good barrier. Skin hydration is a key factor to always remember. One way to avoid allergies is by using mild soaps and non-irritating materials. If the symptoms do not go away, get checked by a dermatologist.

It is hard to diagnose your balding without a professional examination. If you are worried about hair loss, you should visit a dermatologist who is a specialist in hairs loss problems. They can analyze your condition and give you optimal care.

This spot could easily be a pimple or a skin irritation of a non-serious type. These spots may appear due to sweating, friction or blocked pores. Refrain from picking the spot to avoid getting an infection. If it continues or gets worse, do consult a dermatologist.

Breasts changing color and feeling more sensitive is common. This could happen due to hormones, irritated skin, or blood flow changes. Look for other issues like pain or lumps too. If changes last or worry you, talk to a doctor for a checkup.

Such masses can arise from various causes, including cysts, warts, or other benign conditions. No pain is a good sign, but axillaries are a reason why this needs to be paid close attention to. I advise you to consult a dermatologist for careful examination and correct diagnosis.

I am 27 years old female I have pimples on the face I have applied many cream and soaps which are not working fr my skin what to do naw? Can u suggest me cream and soap / face wash which is good. Fr daily use without side effects
Female | 27
I suggest a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser such as a mild gel face wash containing salicylic acid which can help treat breakouts. Try out oil-free moisturizers for moisturizing. Let go of the use of harsh scrubs and put sunscreen on top of your list during the day. After trying the over-the-counter methods for two to three weeks and not getting any results, ask for suggestions from a dermatologist who can customize a solution.

Male | 18
It's important to get examined by a healthcare professional, like a dermatologist or a urologist, to diagnose any concerns regarding HSV-1 or HSV-2 accurately. Avoid self-diagnosis based on appearance, as it can be misleading. Early detection and proper medical guidance are crucial for managing any potential infections.

I have foreskin reddish and no pain no itching
Male | 42
Balanitis is the inflammation of the glans due to non-infectious or infectious causes. It is usually painless and non-itching but appears as a red rash on the foreskin. Poor hygiene, irritation from soap, or a yeast infection can result in this. The general care of the genitals focuses on hygiene, the area should be cleansed every day and dried completely. If symptoms persists consult a dermatologist.
