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.

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.

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.

my face is dark and acne on it

Male | 17

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.
