Why are my throat and joints dark for 2 years?

My throat and various joints of my body are very dark for the last 2years Dermatologyy

1 Answer

Answered on 30th July '24

Keep an eye on the changes in your body. If the throat or joints become dark or discolored, this could be a warning sign. The condition is called acanthosis nigricans. It can also be due to being overweight, having diabetes, or having hormonal changes. Helping this can be done by eating a balanced diet, controlling the weight, and being active. Getting a consultation from a dermatologist for the right guidance is advisable.

i got a bite from an unknown insect on my hand and there is some pimples and itching in that area . my pt inr is also showing high . what does it mean?

Male | 26

You may have gotten bitten by an insect, which your body doesn't like at all. Sometimes, such bites can result in skin all lumpy and itchy, as you have mentioned. If your PT INR levels are high, it indicates that your blood may take a longer time to clot. You should apply some anti-itch cream on the bite and also visit the physician to do your PT INR check. They could need to adjust your medicine.

Hello this is Kalyan age 21 male, I've been fighting with acne for a period of 3years and even more. Tried different medications , remedies didn't worked, finally consulted a dermatologist, he recommended using Zitblow 10mg, it worked for an extent after being used for 1 years but the problem is there were still black heads on my cheeks which are stubborn and difficult to remove. I'm hoping to get some solution to the problem. Currently I'm not using any of the medications except for the cream called Acne star.

Male | 21

One of the leading causes of acne is that hair follicles get clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Acne results in blackheads which are the most ideal from the opening of the hair follicle. However, you can be sure that Zitblow 10mg is a really good option. The other options may contain a very gentle exfoliator to clear out the blackheads, but you need to be careful not to damage your skin. In addition, adhering to a really good skincare routine, exfoliating your face, and keeping it clean also can be beneficial to minimize the prospect of blackheads at an early stage.

Actually i got a little scratch by a street dog’s nail but it’s not deep also so pls recommend me what should i do.. i can also share the pic of it for better suggestion

Female | 17

I can see that scratching you due to a street dog can be a worrying issue for you. From your information, the scratch is not too deep, which may mean there is a low chance of infection. Watch out for any redness, swelling, or warmth around the area. First of all, wash the scratch using soap and water and then apply the antiseptic cream to the area to avoid any further infection. Watch the scratch for a few days, and if you spot any of the infection signs that are getting worse, like more pain, redness, or pus formation, it is better to go to a doctor.

Sir, I am 23 year old. I don't have beard. I barely have any hair under my chin. Please help me with my beard growth.

Male | 23

The dermatologist will first need your family history and trichoscopy examination for the evidence of vellus hairs. Then they might begin their treatment with minoxidil, micro-needling and Growth factor injections. If no improvement is seen however, then they will suggest hair transplant.

Why does my tip of my scrotum have a rash looking redness as well as my testicles appear to be very red and is itchy?

Male | 17

You may have jock itch, a fungal issue­. It makes groin areas red, itchy, rashy, affe­cting the scrotum, and testicles. In warm, moist places le­t it grows. Try drugstore anti-fungal creams. Clean, and dry the­ zone to avoid return. Jock itch thrives whe­n sweaty, warm. Over-the-counte­r creams help clear up the­ fungus rapidly. However, kee­ping areas dry is crucial. That prevents future­ jock itch flare-ups. So cleanliness matte­rs alongside medication.

Iam 23 years of old male having oily skin,acni and pigmentations please tell serum, moisturizer ,facewash and sunscreen Please tell products names ????‍⚕️????‍⚕️

Male | 23

If you're dealing with oily skin, acne, pigmentation, or other skin issues, I recommend using "The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%" serum. This product helps reduce sebum production and acne occurrence. For moisturizing, try "Cetaphil Oil Control Moisturizer SPF 30" to keep your pores clear. You might also like "Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash," which is gentle on skin affected by impurities. To protect your skin from sun damage, apply "CeraVe Ultra-Light Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30." These products can help give your skin a radiant appearance.

I need a healthy clear and a glowing skin so what products or treatments should I opt for

Female | 26

For healthy skin, cleanse daily and avoid harsh irritants. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, as dehydration can make your skin look dull. Eat fruits and vegetables to get the nutrients your skin needs. Protect your skin from the sun by applying sunscreen every day. Clear, radiant skin comes from gentle cleansing, proper hydration, a nourishing diet, and sun protection.

Suggest me supplements for skin whitening. Means body complextion

Female | 22

If you are seeking supplements to make your skin brighter, you might find vitamin C and collagen a good option. Vitamin C may balance the skin tone and accelerate collagen growth which results in the skin being more luminous. Collagen is key to keeping your skin strong and smooth. However, don't forget that supplements are most efficient when accompanied by a healthy lifestyle characterized by drinking lots of water and eating plenty of fruits and veggies.

A couple days ago i noticed a large lump underneath one of my armpits. a few weeks prior my armpit had been feeling very sore and painful but i just recently looked and saw a large lump and there was some sort of discharge leaking from it.. a few days later it’s gotten somewhat smaller but now there is a nasty raw scab growing around it and it hurts and itches. also the center of the lump is red and sticking outward and looks like it’s bleeding.

This could be a clue to some infection. See a dermatologist immediately for an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment. Immediate medical treatment is vital in such situations.
