Why Are My Throat and Joints Darkened?
My throat and various joints of my body are very dark for the last five to six years. My weight is above 80 kg. And I have high pressure

Answered on 29th July '24
Your skin might be affected by acanthosis nigricans which is identified by dark patches, even on the throat and joints. Being overweight and having high blood pressure are risk factors for this. The treatment is to lose weight and control the BP, as a result, the patches can be healed. Follow a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and be consistent with your prescribed medications to control your blood pressure.

My baby is 1.8yr old girl...she got fine hairs at her private part and underarms and little facial hair also...it's from birth....her dad also got much hairy skin..is it normal about her
Female | 1
It’s normal for your 1.8-year-old daughter to have fine hair in those areas. It could be because her dad is hairy – sometimes it runs in the family. These hairs are not a problem and do not require any treatment. As she gets older these hairs may become thicker, but that is fine too.

Sounds more like a case of chronic fungal infection, but itching and the patches are common symptoms. Better visit the dermatologist, who will be able to tell for sure what kind of treatment is proper for this case. They will recommend you a course of special antifungal creams and oral medicine

Dear Doctor, When anal fungus originates from an external source, how many weeks without anal itching are needed to rule out a specific event as the cause? Merry Christmas
Male | 34
When it comes to sources outside the body that can cause anal discomfort, these symptoms like itching or irritation usually go away in a few weeks of relieving the irritant. Normally, a period of two weeks to a month without any discomfort would suggest that the previous problem was resolved. Possible causes include skin irritation or hygiene practices. To minimize the symptoms, one has to keep good hygiene, use antifungal creams if it is necessary, and prevent irritations of known causes. If you suffer from them on and on or feel worse, do not hesitate to consult a dermatologist for personalized advice.

This may occur as a result of the pores being clogged, which may then cause infections. Clean and dry the area properly to avoid further damage. Do not pick or pop the pimple as it may aggravate the situation. Consult a dermatologist for proper treatment.

I have allergy (hives) so I have applied calamine lotion which doctor recommend but the allergy got worse
Female | 19
The lotion possibly irritated your skin further. Here's how to ease the discomfort: Stop using the lotion immediately. Gently wash affected areas with mild soap and water. Apply an unscented, gentle moisturizer to hydrate and soothe irritated skin. Be vigilant about avoiding known allergens going forward.

I am a female, I’m 15. I have patchy white thin skin spots around my genital area.
Female | 15
The white spots on your genital area may be Tinea Versicolor, which is caused by fungus. It is a kind of yeast living on our skin. The spots may appear to be lighter or darker than the surrounding skin and can be itchy. To clear it up, you should use anti-fungal creams or shampoos. Keep the area dry and clean and wear loose clothes too. If they don't go away, visit a dermatologist.

I am a 24 years boy and I have acne type skin issue first time
Male | 24
Don’t worry, lots of people get acne. Signs of acne include red spots, blackheads, and whiteheads on your face. Things that might cause it are hormones, greasy skin, and bacteria. You can try washing your face gently twice a day with a soapless cleanser, not touching zits, and using only oil-free products. If this bothers you then maybe talk to a dermatologist.

Hi doctor I am 18 years old,but still I don't have a beard or moustache growth.
Male | 18
It’s perfectly normal for some young men to experience delayed facial hair growth as everyone has a unique rate of development. Factors such as genetics, hormonal levels, and overall health can influence this. Some may begin to see changes in their late teens or early twenties. To support healthy growth, maintain a balanced diet, manage stress, and get regular exercise. If this concern continues or you're worried, it’s a good idea to consult a dermatologist. They can assess your situation more thoroughly and provide guidance tailored to your needs.

I am 28 yo female and recently got sclerotherapy done on both legs (last Wednesday so it has been over a week). My veins have gotten worse, they are purple and more visible and quite sensitive to the touch. There is no bruising. My dermatologist said I may have had an allergic reaction to the treatment and suggested I get antihistamines. Will the veins subside?
Female | 28
Veins do appear more visible naturally after sclerotherapy treatment, but they usually improve over time as the body reabsorbs the treated veins. Its best to discuss your concerns with your dermatologist and follow the recommended treatment. Avoid prolonged sitting or standing and to wear compression stockings as recommended to decrease swelling and heal faster.

Your child may have a skin condition called eczema, which affects only a limited number of children. Eczema can sometimes be accompanied by irritation, redness, and itching of the skin. It's quite common in infants. Changing the soap that is used could be a solution, but that is not always the case. Use a mild moisturizer that is not perfumed and avoid harsh soaps from your baby's routine. However, the problem continues, it is wiser to see a dermatologist for guidance.

I have a friend she suffering from alopecia she try so much medicines but nothing work now she want try Rosemary water... What you recommend her pls tell she is very depressed
Female | 30
Alopecia is a condition that leads to hair loss. It may be a cause of concern, resulting in a rise in the emotions of sadness. Some of the most common symptoms consist of patches of hair loss on the scalp. Different causes like hereditary and panic can lead to alopecia. Although some people have found Rosemary water to be a helpful home remedy, it should be noted that its effectiveness varies from person to person. Moreover, it's important to remind your friend to prioritize self-care practices, stress management, and seeking out a dermatologist for treatment plans tailored to her in addressing alopecia.

Balanitis causes redness and swelling of the foreskin. This could happen from irritation or poor hygiene. Keep the area neat and dry. Don't use harsh soap products. Wear loose, comfortable clothing. If discomfort persists or worsens, consult a dermatologist promptly. They'll properly assess and treat the condition.

I'm suffering from scalp folliculitis since 2 years . I have consumed various medication as advised earlier (Tablet doxycycline, tablet metronidazole, tablet clindamycin,tablet isotretinoin).these medications ka affective only till I take the medicine and then the pustules reappear. These are very painful and very itchy .
Female | 21
This is when the hair follicles on your head become infected leading to painful sores with pus which are also itchy. I can see that the drugs that you have used before don’t seem to work well for you in the long run. One should visit a dermatologist who might prescribe stronger medications or other treatments such as medicated shampoos or creams for clearing up these infections and preventing their recurrence.

Male | 23
You may have developed a yeast infection on your penis. The redness, pimple-like bumps, and fluid-filled sores are among the common symptoms. Antifungal medicines such as clotrimazole, miconazole, and fluconazole can be used for the treatment of this problem. Whereas, if the fluconazole cream is not effective, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and possibly a different treatment approach.

HPV means human papillomavirus. You can’t get it from things like cups, clothes, doors, and keyboards. This virus is often spread through skin-to-skin contact. It can cause warts or even cancer in some cases. The best way to keep yourself safe from this virus is to get the HPV vaccine.

Female | 35
I understand that experiencing widespread itching and irritation can be concerning. These symptoms might stem from various causes, such as allergies, dry skin, or irritants. To alleviate discomfort, consider using a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer and avoiding irritants like harsh soaps. Over-the-counter antihistamines may help reduce itching. However, it's essential to consult a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation and tailored treatment, especially if the symptoms persist or worsen.
