Geographic tongue causes patches on your tongue that resemble a map. It's common and may cause a burning feeling. This sensation arises from eating spicy, acidic foods or when stressed. Avoid triggers if bothersome. But see a dermatologist if severe or persistent.

Acne and pimple. Black spot
Male | 30
Acne and pimples are skin problems many people deal with. Sometimes, after acne clears up, dark spots remain. These spots are called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. They happen when your skin produces too much melanin due to inflammation. To help reduce these spots, keep your skin clean and avoid picking or squeezing pimples. Using products with retinoids, vitamin C, or hydroquinone may gradually lighten the spots. Wear sunscreen to prevent the spots from darkening further.

Male | 39
The aforementioned issues were all common skin issues that include acne, dullness, or oily skin, and were caused by factors such as stress, poor dietary habits, or pollution in the environment. A mild detoxification program can make your skin look healthier. The products that hydrate your skin, along with a well-balanced diet with lots of fruits and vegetables, regular cleansing will get you started. Exfoliation may also be favorable, but do not overdo it, please. To get the right kind of help, you should visit a dermatologist.

My roommate has said she had a cold sore for the last two days. And I’m a bit worried. She gave me a piece of food that she bit off of and offered me and also a drink (I didn’t drink off the straw, rather just our the cup) I’m a bit nervous, I’m not sure if she had an outbreak during those times but it was about two / three days ago. Could herpes be spread in that way? (I definitely could be uneducated but just a bit nervous)
Female | 20
Cold sores result from the herpes simplex virus spread by close contact such as kissing or sharing eating utensils. Nonetheless, passing herpes through sharing food or drinks is very unlikely. Signs may commence with a tingling sensation and itching feeling then develop into blisters on the lips or around the mouth. To avoid contracting herpes simplex virus, refrain from sharing cutlery and glasses besides washing hands often.

I am 20 years old and i got my ear pierced last year, December 29. It is swollen now and then there's a liquid coming out and it's painful
Female | 20
It sounds like you may be experiencing an infection in your ear piercing, which can happen due to various reasons such as irritation, bacteria, or allergic reactions. Symptoms like swelling, discharge, and pain are common. To help, clean the area gently with saline solution or mild soap and avoid touching it with dirty hands. Applying a warm compress can also alleviate discomfort. However, if the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I am 19 years old. I have a little external hemorrhoids with no symptoms should i consult it to a doctor or it will go itself
Male | 19
Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the rectum or anus. Common causes include straining during bowel movements, sitting too long on the toilet, or being overweight. Small, painless hemorrhoids are usually not a concern and may go away with home remedies like warm baths, eating more fiber, or using creams. However, if you have pain, bleeding, or discomfort, it's best to see a gastroenterologist for advice on the right treatment.

Male | 57
You might be suffering from eczema. Eczema is an inflammatory skin disease that can make you itchy and cause red bumps on the skin, which even bleeds if you scratch them hard. Different agents such as stress, allergies, or skin irritants can be the cause of it. You can also use skin gentle products and avoid triggers to achieve affability along with skin moisturization to help you. If the symptoms persist, consider discussing with a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment options.

I am a 20 year old female that had a cold sore on my lip a few months ago. The actual scab is gone, but there is still a sharp pain in that spot when I touched it. Is it still contagious and how can I stop it? I’ve been putting Abreva and Carmex on the spot that hurts but nothing seems to help. Thank you
Female | 20
The nerve near your previous sore could be causing your current pain. Cold sores are contagious until fully healed, but once the scab is gone, the risk is usually over. You can apply a cold compress or take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Avoid touching or picking at the sore to prevent irritation. If the pain persists or worsens, it's best to consult a dermatologist.

Our dog accidently scratch my hands with his teeth but there is no cuts, bleeding or wounds can i get rabies?
Female | 22
If a dog of yours scratches or nips at you and you don't see any signs of bleeding, cuts, or wounds, the risk of rabies is among the lowest. Rabies is mostly an infection through saliva, hence, when there is no open wound, the chances are minimal. Watch out for any strange signs such as a fever, headache, or tingling in the area near the scratch. In the event, you spot something peculiar, it's best to get checked out by a doctor anyway. But for now, you should be just fine. Rinse the wound under running water and lather it with soap to disinfect it.

Does this look like tick bite
Male | 25
It’s understandable to be concerned about a possible insect bite. Symptoms like a small red bump, swelling, or a rash could suggest a tick bite. These bites often occur in wooded areas, and some ticks can transmit diseases. It's vital to monitor for signs such as fever, fatigue, or a distinctive bullseye rash, which may require medical attention. If you suspect a tick bite, remove the tick carefully with tweezers and seek guidance from a doctor for assessment and treatment.

Hello sir /ma'am From the past 3 months i was using elosone ht skin cream over my knee areas, because of the sun exposure my knee became very dark and they were looking very odd. That's why i was using it in my knee areas only, also it was having visible results. 4 5 days back i saw my knees and suddenly i was in shock. My knees are looking very scary. The area where i use to apply the cream the whole area is covered with a dark patch which is 2x darker than before i had. Please help me it is looking very scary and i can't even wear shorts due to this.
Female | 18
The cream you were using might have led to the development of a skin condition known as skin atrophy which causes the skin to become thin and darker. This can occur if certain steroid creams are applied for an extended duration on sensitive areas like the knees. It's vital to discontinue the cream instantly and see a dermatologist for a thorough examination and advice on how to improve the skin condition.

Male | 23
A possible reason for the red patches on your penis glans could be the adverse reaction to post-exposure prophylaxis tablets, which is a medication used to prevent HIV infection after potential exposure. This is a reaction known as a drug rash. To avoid this, it is essential to inform a dermatologist. They may suggest a different medication or recommend ways to manage the rash, such as using gentle skin care products or applying a soothing cream.

Iam 17 year old boy I have acne isuues not that much but still I have tiny bumps and some dark sports so can you just provide me some skin care routine
Male | 17
Tiny bumps and dark spots can be related to clogged pores or previous acne. To help, consider a gentle cleanser twice daily, followed by a lightweight moisturizer. Exfoliating once or twice a week can clear away dead skin, and incorporating a product with salicylic acid may prevent future issues. Protect your skin with sunscreen daily to help with dark spots. Remember, everyone’s skin is unique, so it might be wise to consult a dermatologist for personalized advice.
