Your daughter might have vitiligo, a common skin condition that causes white patches on the skin. It doesn’t cause pain or itching but can spread over time. The exact cause isn’t clear, but it may affect the immune system. While treatments are available, managing the condition can be challenging. It’s important to consult a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and discuss the best treatment options for your daughter.

i have fungal infection all over groin area
Female | 30
Fungal infections in the groin can induce itching, redness, and discomfort. They are often caused by heat, dampness, and the rubbing of the skin. To reduce symptoms, make sure the affected area is kept dry and clean, and try using over-the-counter antifungal creams. In addition, wearing loose-fitting clothes can make you feel more comfortable. In this respect, it is highly recommended to see a dermatologist for proper advice.

I am 16 year old and I am suffering from hair thinning, hair loss and dandruff what do I do??
Male | 16
You’re battling with hair thinning, hair loss, and dandruff at only 16. Stress, poor diet, or genetics can cause hair to get thin and fall out. Dandruff is often because of dry skin on your head or another condition that affects the scalp. Use a mild shampoo for dandruff and eat well for healthier hair growth. Speaking with a dermatologist may provide additional assistance.

I am sufferring from Cellulitis since February 2022. I was taking ayurvedic treatment initially. From end of June 2022 I started taking treatment from Shree Krishna Hospital. Improvement is there, but still leakage is there, kindly let me know what I should do, as since more than six years Dr. Pravin Shetty has stopped taking his fees from me, treating freely.
Female | 60
Redness, swelling, and at times, fluid leakage resulting from a skin infection make cellulitis-. The treatment is usually through antibiotics and proper wound care. However, you are not done with the drainage yet, so be sure to see your dermatologist. They can explore different options such as modifying your treatment plan or adding new treatments that can hasten recovery. Regular assessments are key to your care, so don't lose touch with Dr. Pravin Shetty right away or any other competent professional.

Female | 18
The spots and pimples on your left cheek might be caused by dust irritation, which can also lead to dull skin. Make sure to clean your face regularly and avoid covering it for long periods. Also, try not to touch your face with your hands, as they may carry bacteria. Washing your face should be a regular habit. If the problem persists, consult a dermatologist.

Female | 16
It could be for many reasons, including hormones, stress, genetics and skin care products that can cause acne. It is recommended that you consult with dermatologist to assess your skin and determine the best treatment for your specific needs. In the meantime, maintain a gentle and consistent skincare routine, including cleansing your face twice daily with a mild cleanser and moisturizing with a non-comedogenic moisturizer. Avoid irritating ingredients such as alcohol and fragrances.

Rash on both my inner thighs... Also a patch on my upper bum area on one cheek, very itchy looks like small bumps... Abit on my scrotum dry but nothing on my penis or anywhere else on my body
Male | 27
Dermatitis might be the cause of your discomfort. A red, itchy rash develops on inner thighs, buttocks and scrotum when skin becomes irritated. Gentle soaps, loose clothing and keeping the affected area dry can alleviate symptoms. Scratching should be avoided to prevent infection. Consult a dermatologist if the condition persists for proper guidance. This information may assist in managing your condition.

Male | 35
There is a possibility of a fungal infection on your penis. After intercourse, this can occur. The white dots and pain you are experiencing near your kidney may be linked to this infection. Fungal infections can lead to the creation of irritation and discomfort. Keeping the area clean and dry is important. You can try applying an antifungal cream to the infection to get rid of it. If it does not improve, you should go to a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

Male | 18
Some familiar causes of abrupt hair loss can be stress, a poor diet, or hormonal changes (e.g. thyroid problems). To get some relief, ensure you eat a balanced diet, keep your stress under control, and also consult a dermatologist for more individualized guidance.

I am a 18 year old male. I used my friends derma roller . And now I am anxious if I can get hiv from it although he doesn't have hiv. The roller was disinfected before I used it with spray alcohol.
Male | 18
It is safe to use a friend's derma roller after disinfection if it has been sprayed with alcohol. HIV is a sexual infection; sharing needles is one of the transmitter. A sterilized roller is thus no cause of fear or stress if someone else has got HIV. Such sterilized tools do not risk transmitting HIV.

I am 30 year old ,male and I have jock itch and I had laproscopic surgery for hydroneprosis and jock itch not curing ,what to do ?
Male | 30
Jock itch is the fungal infection which is the most common cause of the groin itching and redness. Since you've gone through surgery for hydronephrosis, you must keep the area well-hygienic and dry to treat jock itch. Using regular antifungal creams you can purchase without a prescription. Do not go for tight-fitting clothes and change into clean, dry ones often. If the jock itch persists, it's advisable to consult your dermatologist for the next steps.

Ian suffering from Padar thamarai fungal infection and how to cure this problem? And I am not able to eat non veg also.
Female | 44
By Padar Fungal infection it looks like you are talking about fungal infection of the foot which might present with the flaky or itchy sole. Generally it is more on one feet or just affecting one feet. If it is affecting both feet then its asymmetrical. The treatment is you have to wear less of shoes so that sweating is less. Open footwear is most preferable. Topical and oral antifungals is the mainstay treatment but if nail is also involved then treatment has to be taken for the long time so that the reserve side of the infection is treated. Consult a dermatologist for proper consultation.

I am 27 year old living in ranchi kanke road , having serious problem of dandruff hairfall and my hair color is changing into white even some part of beard as well. Kindly help me with the treatment.
Male | 27
Dandruff in the scalp is due to excess sebum (natural oil) production along with increased activity of a fungus called Malassezia in the scalp. Antifungal shampoos containing Ketoconazole, Ciclopirox, selenium sulphide can help treat the dandruff. If it is severe, oral antifungals are also prescribed for a short duration. Salicylic acid, coal tar shampoos are also prescribed in case of excess flakiness of scalp. Hair fall may be due to dandruff, nutritional deficiencies, stress or due to genetic factors. It is recommended to visit a dermatologist who can diagnose the cause of hairfall and may suggest treatment accordingly. Trichoscopy of the scalp may help in understanding the nature of the scalp and condition. Nutritional supplements, Capixyl containing serum, Minoxidil solution, oral supplements containing vitamin and minerals are prescribed by the dermatologist to treat the hair loss. Change in hair colour in beard and scalp may be due to nutritional deficiencies or strong hair colours or genetic causes. Dermatologist’s help may be needed to treat the same. Calcium pantothenate containing supplements may help slow down the greying and sometimes restore the colour of hair.

Pitti and kujli rash padh rahe hain aur Kyon chal rahi hai
Male | 22
The most common reasons behind this are allergies and skin irritation. You should pay attention to the products you use because they should not contain any harmful ingredients. To fight against this problem, moisturize well and avoid using soaps and chemicals that are too harsh.

I have pinpoint small dots all over my cheeks they seem like bumps and acne but I have tried tea tree oil and lemon and nothing works
Female | 17
Sometimes, tiny bumps appear on the skin. It's called milia. They happen when dead skin cells get trapped near the surface. To help get rid of milia, you can try using a gentle exfoliating scrub to remove those dead skin cells. Also, keep your skin clean and moisturized - that's important. If the problem doesn't go away, consider seeing a dermatologist for further advice on dealing with it.

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease due to the fact of bacteria. It is curable with antibiotics, however, the course of treatment must be followed to prevent a recurrence. It would be suited that you go see a sexually transmitted infections doctor, such as a dermatologist or a urologist, and discuss the treatment options as well as the possible issues.
