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.

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.

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.

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.

Female | 22
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.

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.

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.

Face swelling due to cold
Male | 38
When you have a cold, your face may swell as your body fights off germs, increasing blood flow to the area. This extra blood can make your face look puffy. Rest, hydration, and a cold compress can help reduce the swelling. However, if it persists or gets worse, it's important to consult a doctor, as it could indicate something more serious than a regular cold.
