Will my non-leaking, swelling boil burst without help?
Nasty boil down below. Female. Bathed for 3 weeks. Burst but now not leaking but swelling. Have antibiotics. BUT WILL IT BURST ALONE?
Dermatologist
Answered on 20th Aug '24
Aching and red bumps filled with pus are caused by microbes that enter the skin through cuts or hair follicles. It's good that the bump has burst, but the swelling is still a concern. Being on antibiotics should help fight the infection. The boil will usually drain on its own, and taking a bath and applying warm compresses can help it heal faster. If you develop a fever or the swelling worsens, see a dermatologist.

I have got few pimples around mouth and on chin.. Few weeks back I had one boil on penis shaft which went away.. After some days there was one more big boil which also went away.. Me and my partner never had any other history or never involved with any other partner before.. We had oral sex and used condoms for other sex.. Not able to understand are these pimples normal due to warm weather or something else?

Summer heat can cause pimples around your mouth and chin. The boils on your penis may be folliculitis — an infection when bacteria enters hair follicles. Cleanliness and dryness help prevent this condition. If pimples persist or you have concerns, see a dermatologist.

What can i use for a constant itch down there? Not internal. 2 spesific spots on both sides that itch like crazy
Female | 32
When skin contacts an irritating substance, it can develop a condition known as contact dermatitis. This leads to itching and discomfort. Perfumed soaps, detergents, or fabrics often trigger this reaction. To alleviate the itching, use unscented, mild cleansers on the affected area. Wear loose-fitting cotton undergarments too. However, if the itching persists despite these measures, consulting a dermatologist becomes necessary for proper evaluation and management.

What causes one side of your face to swell
Female | 33
A swollen area on one side of your face signals a problem. You could have hurt that side by being hit. An infection like tooth decay may cause it. Face swelling also happens with allergies. To ease the swelling, put a cold pack on it. Take over-the-counter pain medicine. If the swelling doesn't go away, see a dermatologist. They'll find out what's wrong. The right treatment can fix it.

Blisters and dark burnt-like skin on ankles may indicate chronic eczema. Itching, redness, and thickened skin occur. It lasts over a year. Causes include genetics, skin dryness, or irritants. Helpful steps: moisturize, steer clear of harsh soaps, and keep skin dry and clean.

How to get rid of Lip allergy like tiny white bumps?
महिला | 22
Bumps on the lips that are tiny and white could probably result from some hypersensitivity reaction. Redness, itching, and swelling might be the side effects. Foods such as those substances in lipsticks and environmental factors may be some of the causes. The way to manage the scenario of these bumps can be done through the avoidance of any triggers, the use of a mild lip balm, and the application of ice on the neck to reduce swelling. If the bumps don't disappear, you must see a dermatologist.

Hi Sir, which is the best ointment for rashes on my penis head. Please tell me the reason for rashes coming occasionally on penis head. These rashes are not suffering by any itching. They will disappear in 2 to three days.
Male | 51
You are probably feeling a little bit of discomfort on your penile skin. These rashes may be caused by irritants such as soaps, creams, or clothes rubbing against the skin. Since the rashes disappear within a few days and do not itch, then the chances are they are not the cause for alarm. To prevent rashes from recurring, you can try cleansing with mild, fragrance-free soaps and wipe the area down with a dry cloth. If rashes start to itch, hurt, or stay on the skin over time, it would be better to see a dermatologist.

I am 27 years old female and have dry skin type. Lately my skin on the torso, waist and hip has become extremely dry & flaky. Even piling doesn't affect it. I then tried aveeno cream which has reduced flakiness, but it's still very tough to touch and skin on these areas has become stretchy as well as scaly. My grandmother had this skin. It's strange because skin everywhere else is normal, but there it's becoming old and wrinkled. I drink 2-3 litres water daily, although piling doesn't help but I still oil everyday. Pls help. I also take vitamin E capsules, sea cod, vitamin c chewables, and B complex capsules. My skin overall is dry and scalp has dandruff because of this too. There are sometimes small patches of dry skin at random areas like back, forearm and torso, and when I scratch away it goes off like flakes. But this dry, rough and wrinkled skin on my torso, waist and hip is bothering me.
Female | 27
There are a few things you can try to help with your dry, rough and wrinkled skin. First, make sure you are using a moisturizer that is specially formulated for dry skin. Look for ingredients like shea butter, cocoa butter, or almond oil. These will help provide moisture and nourishment to the skin. You may also want to try a richer cream, such as body butter or a balm, to provide extra hydration.
You can also try using a gentle exfoliator to help remove any dead skin cells and promote cell turnover. This will help the skin to look smoother and help with flakiness.
In addition to using moisturizers and exfoliators, you should also make sure you are getting enough vitamins and minerals in your diet. Vitamins A, C, and E are all important for healthy skin, as well as omega-3 fatty acids. Eating a balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables can help you get the nutrients you need for healthy skin.
Finally, make sure you are drinking plenty of water throughout the day. This will help keep your skin hydrated and help prevent dryness.

There is pain in my One tip of nipple for 2 weeks If i touches it Please what is the reason for it
Male | 20
Infections, injuries, or even a blocked milk duct could be responsible for this. Nipple pain might also be caused by hormonal changes at times. Over-the-counter pain relievers can be used to relieve the pain but if it persists, see a doctor.

72 years old male with wart like small multiple pimples on thigh and back for the past 1 week Extreme burning sensation and unable to sleep Wants to attach pic but no option available
Male | 72
These pimples signify an infection called shingles, which takes place due to the emergence of intense burning and blisters on the skin. The incidence of shingles results from the reactivation of the chickenpox virus in your body. Step one in calming down the discomfort and sleeping well is to apply a cool, damp cloth to the damaged areas to cool the burning feeling and consume over-the-counter painkillers. You must see a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis and start the proper treatment.

Doctor, I have started feeling itchy in inner thighs. It turns out to be black and lotss of rashes are there
Female | 17
You have jock itch, which is a skin condition that grows a fungus on your skin in hot and damp regions such as the inner thighs. The list includes itching, blackening of the skin as well as rashes. Treatment of the ailment entails you having to purchase antifungal creams. This illness is one of those that often recur. Keep your skin clean and dry after training to prevent it from flaring up again.

Your hands appear darker than your face, it can happen often. The reasons could be too much sunlight, hormone changes, or your genes. You might also see rough, dry areas on the darker skin. To even out skin color, use sunscreen on hands, moisturize frequently and talk to a dermatologist if needed.

Please give me any type of solution from which he can be able to make his hair look black once again without getting any type of allergy.
Male | 55
It seems your father has a severe allergic reaction to hair color. Dermatologists have advised him to avoid all hair colors to prevent further reactions. He should look for natural alternatives like henna or indigo powder, which are less likely to cause allergies. However, it's important to consult with a dermatologist or an allergist before trying any new product to ensure it's safe for him.

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.

Ringworm ho rkha hai 1 yr se thik nhi ho raha tablet bhi bahut kha chuka hu itracenzole or fluconazole or cream bhi laga liya fark hota pr fir se ho jata h please tell me best treatment for my disease
Male | 25
A stubborn fungal infection seems troublesome. Ringworm triggers red, itchy, scaly skin patches. Defeating it proves difficult sometimes. One way: antifungal meds like Terbinafine or Clotrimazole, used consistently over weeks. Keep affected areas clean and dry. Don't share personal items. With persisting infection, dermatologists can suggest other treatments.

Female | 31
This is usually when you have dark or light patches on your skin. Some common factors are sunburn, hormonal changes, and genetics. Improving pigmentation can be achieved by sunscreen, limiting sun exposure, and using skincare products with ingredients like vitamin C or retinol to even out your skin tone.

Hair problem and Skin problem
Male | 30
If you’re dealing with hair problems like losing hair or having it thin, one possible factor could be stress, poor diet, or it running in your family. Hormonal imbalances, allergies, and not washing your face enough could cause acne or eczema. Don’t scrub too hard when cleaning, and stop picking at blemishes. You can also visit a dermatologist for your issues.
