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.

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.

Itching problems now 7 days
Female | 19
Irregularities like dry skin, allergies, bug bites, and some skin conditions can cause itching. If you haven't changed any products or detergents recently, try applying a moisturizing lotion, taking oatmeal baths, or using a cold compress to ease the itching. However, if the problem persists, consider visiting a dermatologist.

About skin problem I, I have dark skin tone I have to whiten my skin .
Female | 19
Dark skin is beautiful! However, if lightening your complexion interests you, care is essential. Sun exposure, hormonal shifts, or medication may cause natural lightening effects. For gradual, safe lightening, use dermatologist-approved gentle creams.

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.

Can stress cause bruising
Female | 23
Worry does not leave marks on your skin. However, it may cause restlessness. Restless people sometimes scratch or bump into objects. This can result in bruises forming. Feeling tense weakens your body's defenses. A weakened immune system makes bruising more likely. To prevent stress-related bruising, you should find ways to relax. Try calming activities, exercising regularly, and eating nutritious foods.

Why there is a swelled fat clot on my upper area of hand
Male | 15
If the fat lump is on the back of your hand that could be a lipoma. Those are the benign growths of fat cells that seldom have any adverse effects. But, it is always better to go to a doctor for examination and diagnosis. In this situation a dermatologist would be the right specialist to consult.

Skin continuous pimples on face
Female | 25
These may stem from various factors such as hormonal fluctuations, stress, or clogged pores. Often, simple adjustments to your skincare routine, such as using gentle cleansers and non-comedogenic products, can help. A stable diet and proper hydration also give a good clue for freeing the skin of this problem. Nevertheless, in case this matter does not fade but gets worse, I propose a dermatologist's advice; they would make a proper personal assessment and accordingly suggest the most efficient cure strategy.

my ten year old daughter who has a few white spots on her knees bilaterally and also a white spot on her left eyelid. What is it, it’s not painful nor itchy but has grown in size in the last month on her knees. Her eyelid started as very dry skin then a white spot. Please advise
Female | 10
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.

You may have peripheral neuropathy, a nerve disorder. Your hands and feet feel hot, irritated. Other symptoms: numbness, tingling, burning. Diabetes is a common cause. But vitamin deficiencies or nerve damage could be reasons too. Keep feet cool, wear comfy shoes. Treat any underlying health issues. See a dermatologist for diagnosis and proper treatment.

I am vishu, i have dark circles. I want to remove them permanently. Kindly give solutions.
Female | 28
Dark circle is observed in people with improper sleeping pattern, as messed up sleep causes your skin to turn pale, thereby allowing the dark tissues & vessels beneath your skin to show through. Chemical peel may work, but without any examination I cannot conclude anything. If you are interested in knowing more, then you may book an appointment on 9967922767. Just ensure that you connect with some dermatologist in Navi Mumbai as this problem may not go on its own.

Female | 27
Losing some hair daily isn't unusual. Around 50-100 strands lost is normal. However, excess hair fall can occur due to various reasons. Stress, poor diet, hormone changes, and genetic factors contribute to increased shedding. If hair loss seems excessive or causes concern, consider consulting a dermatologist for guidance.

Can i get hpv from sharing clothes , towels or my personal items or objects from someone who has genital warts ?
Male | 32
Genital warts are caused by a virus known as HPV. It is impossible to be infected with HPV through the sharing of clothes, towels, or objects of personal hygiene. The most common way for HPV to spread is through skin-to-skin contact, usually during sexual activity. The general symptoms of genital warts are the presence of small, flesh-colored bumps in the genital area. In case you happen to be concerned about HPV then the best thing to do is to talk to a healthcare provider about preventing and treating it.

Dark skin patches and acne can occur due to sun exposure, hormonal changes, or clogged pores. To improve your skin, use gentle cleansers, keep your skin moisturized, and avoid harsh products. Drink plenty of water, eat healthy food, and resist picking at acne to prevent scarring. Also, protect your skin from the sun to reduce further darkening.
