It might be a infection that can be sometimes caused by bacterias or other microorganism. In my view, you need to see a dermatologist. They may prescribe antibiotics or tell you to open and wash a puss from the swelling. Next steps include making sure the area is kept clean and covered which can slow down the spread of the infection.

I am a 28 year old male and I had a bump to appear under my lip like a week ago. I’ve had cold sores before and the area were the bump appeared had a burning sensation before it appeared I point some cold sore ointment on it but then assumed it was just a pimple and attempted to bust it and clear fluid drained from it but it came back and it seems like it’s getting smaller but I want to make sure of what it really is ….I would like to send a picture and get your opinion

You may have a cold sore outbreak. Cold sores are the result of the herpes simplex virus which can cause burning, bumps, and fluid-filled blisters on or around the lips. Trying to pop a cold sore can make it worse. You can utilize antiviral creams or ointments to help it heal faster.

My skin suddenly turned dark despite of using sunscreen.I do not go out in sun as i sleep from 5:00 am till 4:00 pm ...Before sleeping i apply sunscreen and sleep.I have been on accutane since december 2022.And my vitamin d3 tests show that my vitamin d3 is low too.Plus i m suffering from allergic rhinitis from past 6 months.Why is my skin darkening all of sudden?
Female | 25
It is suggested to consult a dermatologist on the development of dark spots on the skin even when using sunscreen. A dermatologist will have a look at your skin and determine the necessary treatment to be executed. They also can manage other problems such as low vitamin D3 levels and allergies to hay fever.

For about 12-13 days I have red dot like spots on both my hands. There is severe itching. Wherever I scratch, it spreads further. I took local treatment but there is no difference. This is allergy or worm infection
Female | 24
You might be experiencing a skin condition known as scabies. Scabies are caused by minuscule parasites that dig through the skin, leading to red dots and extreme itching. Getting the problem worse is the scrabbling that can mites spread. Get a dermatologist's prescription cream which kills the mites immediately. Do not scratch to avoid contagion. All your things including clothes, bedding, and towels, ensure they are washed with hot water so there is no recurrence of infestation.

I have recently had scrotum exploration survey 32 hours ago and was wondering how long before it can get wet and would it be okay to smoke cannabis. Also i have been prescribed to take 3 co-amoxiclav a day for 14 days, what other pain killers can i use.
Male | 18
It is suggested that a person waits at least 48 hours after they have explored their scrotum before getting it wet. This is to prevent infections. In addition, one should refrain from smoking marijuana while they are recovering to facilitate healing. If you are still experiencing pain, you could take paracetamol or ibuprofen alongside co-amoxiclav.

Hi sir iam a 19 year old I need best skin care products in low budget and also I had small white spot on my chick what's is that serious .my skin type is dry so what products should I use how can start my skin care sir
Female | 18
The small white spot on your cheek might be a problem as it might be a skin disease called pityriasis alba. The list begins with the use of gentle, moisturizing products for dry skin. Check out the products that contain hyaluronic acid and ceramides. Don't forget, always apply sunscreen. In case of any changes or concerns, go to a dermatologist.

Can I apply Tbact ointment on a wound in my hand
Female | 25
Taking care of a wound properly is important. Tbact ointment should only be used when there is an infection present. Notice signs like redness, warmth, or pus? If not, simply clean the wound using soap and water, bandaging it afterward. However, see a dermatologist if infection signs appear, for proper treatment.

Male | 20
It sounds like you’re experiencing significant discomfort. Symptoms like intense itching, heat, and darkening of the skin can be linked to conditions such as fungal infections, allergic reactions, or skin irritations. Since over-the-counter treatments haven’t helped, I strongly recommend revisiting your doctor or seeking a dermatologist's opinion. They may suggest alternative treatments, dermatological assessments, or tests to identify the underlying cause. In the meantime, keep the area clean and dry, and avoid any irritants.

I fell asleep outside and got a painful sunburn on my leg. I went to softball practice and got hit in the leg with a softball. Am I allowed to ice it because I thought you couldn't ice a sunburn but it hurts to put pressure on it.
Female | 15
Sunburns are very painful, and getting hit by a softball on top of that is even worse. Applying ice won't harm the sunburn and can help reduce pain and swelling. Wrap the ice in a towel to protect your skin. If the pain is severe or doesn't improve, see a dermatologist for proper treatment.

Currently I am having fungal infection in thighs, can I do exercises for tomorrow for weight loss current weight is 65 kg with age 17
Male | 17
Fungal infections in areas like your thighs cause redness, itchiness, and rashes. These infections thrive in warm, moist environments. It's crucial to avoid exercises until the infection clears up. Sweat can worsen the condition. To treat it effectively, keep the affected area clean and dry. Use an antifungal cream as directed. Wear loose, breathable clothing. Once the infection resolves completely, you can resume exercises for weight loss without concerns.

Female | 56
You may have scalp folliculitis. This means hair follicles are inflamed. It can happen from harsh hair products, sweating too much, or infections. To feel better, use gentle products. Don't scratch. See a dermatologist for help and treatment.

I am a 25 year old male and I have small bumps in a small area on the back of my head right above my neck, what can i do to get rid of them
Male | 25
Folliculitis seems likely: infected hair follicles cause small, itchy bumps. Warm compresses soothe irritation. Wash gently using mild soap; never scratch. If bumps persist or worsen, consult a dermatologist promptly. Folliculitis is common but manageable with proper care.

Female | 27
You may have contact dermatitis, an issue due to wearing shoes for extended periods. Red spots, bumps, pain, and sensitivity characterize this condition. Wearing comfortable footwear may help. Also, apply a mild moisturizer to soothe your foot. If it persists, consult a dermatologist for proper treatment.

I am 21 years old and I have severe dandruff and itchy scalp . I used many anti dandruff shampoos but no use.
Male | 21
A common cause of dandruff is yeast which lives on everybody’s skin. Sometimes, if you’re using certain shampoos and they’re not working it’s possibly because your scalp needs something else. Try shampoo with an ingredient such as ketoconazole or salicylic acid in it and be sure to massage this into your head. Doing so should help decrease both the amount of flakes produced by the dandruff and also provide relief from irritation caused by dryness.

I have too many Acne scars in face
Female | 27
Acne scars are the marks left on your skin after acne heals, often making your skin look uneven or swollen. These scars form as your body tries to repair the skin after a breakout. To reduce acne scars, treatments like topical creams, laser therapy, or chemical peels can help. These methods can, over time, get rid of scars. Consult a dermatologist to determine the best way for you.

My penis has a lot smegma and I’m very concerned because it hurts and when I tried to be also hurts and it’s stressing me out
Male | 14
You might be infected with a disease called balanitis. This may be the result of a collection of smegma underneath the foreskin, which causes reddening, swelling, and pain. It is a must to carefully clean the penis using warm water and a mild soap. Do not utilize aggressive chemicals. Meanwhile, if the pain continues or becomes more severe, be certain to set an appointment with a dermatologist for a more detailed examination and receive the treatment.

I am 18yrs old girl using rosewater, ponds ultra light gel moisturizer, glycerin at night is it good skincare???
Female | 18
Your skincare routine seems to include soothing ingredients, which is wonderful. Rosewater can help hydrate and calm the skin, while glycerin attracts moisture, promoting a healthy glow. Ponds Ultra Light Gel provides hydration without feeling heavy. Ensure you’re using sunscreen during the day to protect your skin. If you experience any irritation or dryness, consider adjusting the frequency of application or consult a dermatologist for personalized advice. Remember, everyone's skin is unique, and professional guidance can help you achieve your skincare goals effectively.

I have a red bump on my leg and it looks like a bug bite. I just want to ask you if it’s venenous and if I should see a doctor. It itches me a lot and it’s red
Male | 12
Bug bites often cause red, itchy spots. Most aren't dangerous, but seek medical help if symptoms worsen. Bites can sometimes trigger fever or swelling. To relieve itchiness, apply a cold compress or anti-itch cream. However, if the bite area enlarges, causes pain, or you develop fever, it's wise to consult a dermatologist.

Male | 35
You may have a rash on your penis. The rash and soreness can be linked with several conditions such as a fungal infection or skin irritation caused by soaps or detergents, to name a few. If you want to help, try to keep the area clean and dry, avoid strange products, wear loose cotton underwear, and try an antifungal cream from the pharmacy. If it does not get better, see a dermatologist.

Hello I'm lakshita and I'm 18 years old.. I'm facing small rashes inside my vaginal lips and a bit swelling on it.. I consulted doc and she gave me permethrin cream but it didn't give me results.. can you please suggest me some medication
Female | 18
Yeast infection or allergic reaction can be the reason for small rashes and swelling inside your vaginal lips. If the permethrin cream wasn't effective, you might need to try a different treatment such as an antifungal cream or oral medication. Make it a point to keep it clean and dry. Drinking enough water can also help. If the symptoms don't go away, see your dermatologist again.
