Why is my split toenail yellow after 1 year?
My toe nail is split in half but not fully ot has been like it for a long time about 1 year but I thought it would grow out and the area has became yellow

Answered on 9th Sept '24
Your toenail is split and has become yellow? This could be a fungal infection. Fungi grow in warm, moist areas like your feet. To eliminate the fungus, make sure you keep your feet clean and dry. Alternatively, you can try an anti-fungal cream that you can get over the counter. If it doesn't improve after that, see a dermatologist.

I am 18 years old teenager and I want to remove tanning from my whole body and I also want to reduce the melanin secretion in my body ..so please prefer me best kojic acid soap for daily use
Male | 18
Tanning is produced by the skin when it absorbs more sunlight. This is the process that involves melanin, a protein that protects the skin. To decrease tanning and melanin, try a kojic acid soap. This soap can decrease the melanin in your skin and thus brighten your skin's color. For best results, use it daily.

I'm 25 years old and I have very old dark mosquito bite marks and scars on arms and legs. Please tell me how to get rid of it and make it fade.
Female | 25
The marks are the result of the body's response to the mosquito's saliva. They may gradually diminish by themselves over time, however, you can also apply over-the-counter creams with ingredients such as hydroquinone or vitamin E that will help in the process. Remember, use sunscreen and cover your skin to avoid more bites.

I have acne spots and darkspots on my face form 2 years can i use azelic acid if I can then how much percent
Female | 18
Dealing with acne spots and dark spots on your face for two years is frustrating. Consider using azelaic acid: safe for most people. A 10% concentration is effective. It reduces acne breakouts and fades discoloration. Use it daily by applying a thin layer after cleansing. Complement with sunscreen and moisturizer.

Psoriasis Do you have the treatment for this disease? The child is in a lot of pain, please help us a little.
Male | 26
Psoriasis is a common disease that causes red, painful, and rough patches on the skin. It happens when the immune system goes out of control and skin cells grow too fast. A dermatologist can prescribe therapy to relieve the skin. After treatment, using creams or lotions helps reduce dryness and itching. Keeping the skin clean and well-moisturized can also help reduce discomfort.

I am 20 years old..I have been suffering from severe hair fall for last 1 years..can taking d rise 40000iu per week leads hair fall?? One year ago,I had headache..for that doctor prescribed me this medicine.but after 2 month taking this medicine my hairfall started..is it possible or another problem??
Female | 20 years
It is certainly natural to worry about losing your hair at this point in your life. Hair fallout may be a side effect of some medications, although D Rise (vitamin D) does not generally give rise to this problem when given as recommended. Hair loss has several reasons, including stress, inadequacies in your diet, or imbalances in your hormones. Try to maintain a diet in perfect harmony available with crucial nutrients. It is crucial to see a dermatologist for a diagnosis of the cause and what treatments are available specifically for you.

I'm a 21 year old male I have small white patches on the top of my penis along with some red dots and the urethra is inflamed as well as the foreskin and a slight burning sensation when peeing as well as frequent urination and a clear discharge
Male | 21
You might have a condition called balanitis. This issue occurs when the penis' foreskin becomes inflamed and red, and, in some cases, white patches can appear. The burning of the urine and the clear discharge may also be the result of this. Balanitis may occur due to hygiene issues, infections, or skin problems. Wash the area regularly and dry it, not use soaps that are too harsh, and prefer loose clothing. If the symptoms continue, a dermatologist can give medicine to make them go away.

Actually I have an fungal infection at my private part I visited many doctors and used different medicines pills and ointments. By using the ointments and pills it is controlling but after stopping the medication after cure some days after it is again starting i don't why this is happening and I will be more hygiene and I do bath daily
Male | 18
It looks like you are suffering from a stubborn fungal infection, which can result from the following: dampness, rubbing, or alterations in the skin microbiota. Aching, redness, and discomfort are the common manifestations of it. A good way to manage this is by keeping the affected area dry and well-aerated, applying the antifungal drugs as was instructed, and thus, stopping the treatment prematurely is not a good idea. In case of persistent symptoms, consult a dermatologist who can provide targeted treatment options and conduct some additional examinations for a possible diagnosis.

In my mouth some pimples like structure
Male | 45
Mouth lesions can indicate several conditions, such as canker sores, oral thrush, or even viral infections. These growths may cause discomfort or irritation but are often manageable. It's essential to maintain good oral hygiene and avoid irritants like spicy foods. Saltwater rinses can also provide relief. If symptoms persist or worsen, consulting a dermatologist is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Remember, timely intervention can lead to better outcomes, so don’t hesitate to seek advice.

"Hey, I just noticed that today my blood vessels are a purple color, and when I try to touch them, it doesn't cause any pain only a little bit of sore otherwise im fine. It started today, and I don't feel any symptoms at all. im not on any medication.
Male | 20
Purple blood vessels on the skin can look unusual, but they're usually not a big deal. Increased pressure might make them more noticeable. If there's no pain or other symptoms, it's probably nothing to worry about. Try elevating your legs and avoiding standing for too long. However, if you're concerned, see a dermatologist for treatment.

Male 52..lately i have this sour and white toungue..scrap it off..it gone..but will come back again..im a smoker and drinker..what causes this..is it alcohol or smoking or caffiene
Male | 52
It appears that you are experiencing symptoms of oral thrush, a condition that causes your tongue to be covered in white. Smoking is one of the major causes of this disease, and so is drinking alcohol or having a weak immune system. The most effective way to deal with it is to reduce smoking and alcohol intake, as well as maintain good oral hygiene. Additionally, drinking more water can also help.

Legs pale on waking but colour restored after 5 minutes
Female | 59
Getting pale legs when you wake up is a sign of circulation in your legs. This change happens during sleep which can cause the blood vessel (temporarily) to narrow or decrease in the blood flow for a limited time. This is mainly the result of sleeping positions or a fall in blood pressure. When the body is moved, the blood flow to the veins gradually improves, and the color of the limb gets back to normal. Basically, this is not something that you need to worry about. Nevertheless, if you notice other signs such as a hurting leg, swelling, or frequently changing color it is a good idea to ask a dermatologist's advice.

Sir, I want to ask about peeling oil. Does extra strong yellow peeling oil really peel the skin???
Female | 24
This product is effective in removing the skin, yet it is extremely important to be considerate. Using strong peeling oils can cause redness, burning, and even damage to the skin. These products work by peeling off the top layer of the skin, which tends to improve skin appearance, but their wrong application can cause great trouble to the user. The best way is to consult a dermatologist before using those products to prevent side effects.

I would like to know about scalp psoriasis. It is showing up as thick flakes, falling off at 30 yrs age. Is this condition manageable? Can it be cured? What can it develop into after 10 years or later? Thanks.
Male | 30
Scalp psoriasis can make your scalp red, itchy, and have thick scales. It cannot be cured but can be controlled. Treatments like medicated shampoos, creams, and light therapy can help alleviate the symptoms. If left untreated, it can cause hair loss or joint pain. It is essential to collaborate with a dermatologist to discover the most suitable treatment strategy for you.

I have white dots on my testicles
Male | 25
Your testis might have some white spots, which probably are Fordyce spots. The latter is a harmless issue and common. They are small, raised, and painless. Oil glands that secrete too much oil end up clogging pores, and thus, we see these dots on the skin. Emotional tension or fluctuations in the levels of hormones could cause them. Usually, Fordyce spots do not require any treatment.

ear lump from piercing in helix bleeding and swelling and irritation
Female | 15
There’s a lump in your ear above where the earrings go. If it’s swollen, red, or bleeds, it might be an infected piercing. Infections happen when bacteria enter through broken skin. To help it heal faster clean it with saline solution, don’t touch it with unclean hands, and use warm compresses several times a day. If this doesn’t work you should see a dermatologist.

Dear Doctor, Kindly advise some good medicines or remedies for Warts on face and neck as from 6-7 months iam facing this issue, earlier it was on one on my face but during the course of time it has rapidly increased in number and now I have almost 12-15 warts on the left side of cheek and 3-4 below the jaw line and recently have developed 2 warts on my forehead, It looks very ugly and for the same reason I'm unable to shave as while shaving the warts comes in contact with the razor and it gets bleed. Please suggest good medication for the same. Thanks
Male | 41
Warts on your face and neck may be the result of a virus known as HPV. It's a widely spread disease and can be easily transmitted. To help you get rid of them, try over-the-counter treatments such as salicylic acid. The warts may slowly peel away with this. Remember to be gentle while shaving to prevent skin irritation. If they are still bothering you, see a dermatologist for further recommendations.

How long does contact dermatitis last
The contact dermatitis can last a long time. It depends upon the nature, frequency and duration of the exposure to the allergens. If the exposure to the allergens continues it might take very long time. If the exposure to the allergens is stopped then it will be recovered quickly.

Hello Doctor, From last couple of days I have developed a small red boil on the shaft of penis, it pains on touch. The appearance is small round red in colour with no pus formation and it pains a lot especially on touch or on friction. Kindly advise medications for the same. Thanks and Regards
Male | 40
You may have developed a condition called folliculitis. It happens when hair follicles get inflamed, usually due to friction or bacteria. The red bump on the penis shaft with pain and tenderness can be typical symptoms. For now, you can try warm compresses to help reduce pain and inflammation. Don't touch or squeeze it. If it doesn't improve or worsen, visit a dermatologist.
