Why does my son have a thick red line after nap?
My son has woken up from a nap with a read mark in a line. It is thick and red. I’m really worried.

Answered on 23rd May '24
Your son may have a skin issue called "dermatographia," meaning, "skin writing." When pressure touches the skin, red lines appear. It's not severe and commonly disappears by itself. Perhaps he laid on something leaving a mark. If it disturbs him, or worsens, consulting a dermatologist would be wise.

I'm 19 I have bacterial infection past 2months so I visit to my near general doctor they suggest clonate ointment and candid dusting powder but still there is no improvement?daybyday its increased and itching also I have so I used clobetamil ointment now infection is mildly decreased but this is not permanent solution?so pls give solution for my problem dr
Female | 19
Clonate ointment and candid dusting powder are corticosteroid and antifungal powder respectively which are not recommended for treating bacterial infections and hence it is suggested to stop the same at once. Proper diagnosis and treating the condition accordingly is essential in your case. Ruling out underlying cause and identifying the source of bacterial infections is equally important. Please consult a Dermatologist immediately so that appropriate antibiotics, good skin care regimen and creams can be recommended.

doctor i am having itchy and pain near my upper thighs but not on my vagina please help its so itchy and pain like there are some pimples and like some rash
Female | 20
You might be suffering from a type of skin infection known as folliculitis. This occurs when hair follicles accumulate bacteria. The symptoms you mentioned are typical of this problem: itchy, painful, pimples, and red, bumpy rashes. Excessive heat, humidity, friction of clothes, or shaving irritation can cause it. Keeping the area clean and dry is a good way to recover and loose clothes might help to relieve the pain. Another way to reduce the discomfort is by applying a warm compress on the affected area. A dermatologist should be consulted if there is no improvement.

Help I smoothening my hair in August 8 and I regret I want my natural hair back help how to get my natural hair back thx..
Female | 14
The smoothening change is temporary. Your natural hair will come back in time. Speeding up the growth of your natural hair is possible by using nourishing hair products and avoiding further chemical treatments. Be a little patient, and then your natural hair will come back.

Red line mark on both thigh sinc 2 months
Female | 24
It is important to mind red lines on your thighs, as they might result from skin infections, irritants, or even insect bites. It would be of much help if you knew when these marks appeared first and any other symptoms you might have. Ensure that the area is clean and avoid scratching. Consider using a mild antiseptic cream; otherwise, seek further evaluation from a dermatologist.

Skin ko Normal kaise karee please suggest any treatment for skin peeling.
Female | 18
Some people have skin peels. This happens for many reasons. The skin can get dry. Or it can get burned by the sun. An infection could make skin peel, too. Some skin conditions also cause peeling. When skin peels, it may itch, turn red, and flake off. To help peeling skin get better, use lotion often. Drink lots of water each day. Stay out of the strong sun. Gently rub off dead skin. If peeling does not stop or gets worse, see a dermatologist.

I am suffering from groin itching and pubic itching with a burning sensation. I am 20 year old
Female | 20
This condition is triggered by areas such as body creases/groin, and public regions that are warm and moist, not being kept dry. It is characterized by severe itching, burning, and redness. Meanwhile, clean the area with a wet sponge and dry it, wear thin clothes, and apply an antifungal cream which you can get from the pharmacy. If it does not get better consult a dermatologist.

I may have accidentally swallowed bathroom cleaner 2 weeks ago
Female | 21
Swallowing bathroom cleaners can be dangerous. If you did this 2 weeks ago and are still having symptoms such as stomach pain, nausea, trouble breathing, or vomiting, it's crucial to seek help immediately. Ingesting these chemicals can harm your throat, stomach, and other organs. Drink lots of water and visit a doctor right away for further treatment.

I am 21 year old male and my hairline is declining from front and middle. I often smoke. I have used onion oil for months and got good results but after sometimes my hairs started falling out again. How should I stop my hair from falling out and what tests should I prefer to know its hormonal or not ??
Male | 21
You need to give due attention to your hair loss problems. Smoking is one of the reasons for hair loss. Hormone Imbalances are also another factor. Blood tests can help determine if your hormone levels are abnormally high or low. Fatigue and weight shift are some of the symptoms of hormonal imbalance. You may require medications or lifestyle adjustments customized to your condition. Routine dermatologist checks are critical.

Badan me dard or chehre Ka colour black
Female | 25
Body pain and a black face could signal anemia - not enough red blood cells. Anemia makes you tired, pale, and achy. Eating iron-rich foods helps: spinach, beans, meat. Drink lots of water, rest well too. See a doctor if it doesn't improve.

Can I take glutathione for skin whitening
Male | 15
Glutathione isn't FDA approved for skin lightening.. Limited research available.. Possible side effects.. Discuss with doctor.. it is IMPORTANT to note that the use of glutathione for skin lightening comes with SERIOUS risks.. While it is MARKETED as a "natural" alternative to traditional skin lightening treatments, there is NO conclusive evidence to support its effectiveness.. The FDA HAS NOT approved glutathione for skin lightening purposes, which means that its safety and effectiveness have NOT been thoroughly tested

I have watery pimples on my pennis what might be the cause and they are very itchy and what treatment u you help me with thanks
Male | 30
You have a condition called genital herpes. This harmless infection can result in the formation of watery pimples on the penis and also cause itchiness. Genital herpes is most commonly transmitted through sexual contact. For its treatment, you can take antiviral medications prescribed by a dermatologist. It's best to refrain from sexual contact until the pimples have healed to prevent the virus from spreading.

I am 23 yrs old girl who is suffering from pcos , obesity . I have hair on my body as well as facial hairs . My weight is increasing. Please tell me how to control this facial hair growth without medicine This is my question I request you to please revert me the answer.
Female | 23
It sounds like you might be suffering from PCOS which is caused by hormonal disturbances. Excess body hair and obesity are the most typical signs. Unwanted hair on the chin and the upper lips may be a result of high levels of male hormones in your body. To manage hair growth without medication you could try gentle methods such as shaving, waxing, or threading. These will grant you temporary relief as the hair is removed.

I have warts with elevation for many years.... Mentally tired for continuing treatment but not curing...
Female | 54
You have warts and may have been there for a long time. The warts are caused by a virus that gets into the skin through a cut or opening. It's common to get tired of treatments if they haven't worked. Sometimes, indeed, warts can be hard to deal with. You might consider trying different treatments such as the ones available over-the-counter or you can visit a dermatologist to find out the other alternatives.

If the bikini line rash goes away in a day with a steroid cream it probably is not an STD but maybe psoriasis. Please, go to a dermatologist for checkup and appropriate treatment.

Hi doc..i have this sour and white taste toungue for fww months.scrap it off the next day it cones back..is it due to smoking and alcohol user.i dont have this problem before.pls help
Male | 52
That tangy white taste you get in your mouth may be from smoking or drinking alcohol. These things can make your mouth hurt. The white stuff could be a yeast infection caused by these bad habits. Try to smoke less and stop drinking so much. Also, don’t forget to brush your teeth and use mouthwash every day. If this doesn’t help, try to see a dentist soon.

Infection after shaving i think as ingrown hairs turned into boils that have puss in them how can I treat this at home
Female | 17
If ingrown hair has turned into painful boils with pus, try cleaning the area gently with warm water and soap. Apply warm compresses and avoid picking at the boils. Using over the counter antibiotics and wearing loose clothing can help. Maintain good hygiene and consider pain relief if needed. However, if the situation doesn't improve, worsens, or spreads, consult a dermatologist for proper treatment.

my skin is clear and normal.yet now I didn't use any serums, moisture, sunscreen . Pls suggest me Which one is best for anti-aging, maintain healthy skin for beginners. I have dark under eye . Pls suggest me best
Female | 43
To combat aging, and embrace healthy skin, consider a gentle serum containing Vitamin C. Complement this with a moisturizer infused with hyaluronic acid, and during daytime, apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. Dark under-eye circles? Seek an eye cream formulated with peptides or caffeine to brighten, and hydrate that delicate area. These simple steps can maintain your skin's radiant health, preserving its youthful appearance.
