Could my relative have fish skin condition?

Sir, the skin of one of my relatives is like fish skin all over his body. can this be true sir

Answered on 23rd May '24

Ichthyosis can create a scaly texture that looks like fish scales. It can make the skin acquire the form of dryness, i.e., thicker and appear through the outside. It's a genetic cause, so it's possible to be inherited. The best treatment for ichthyosis is avoiding situations that can trigger it. It does not have any cure; however, some moisturizers can decrease dryness. It is important to go to a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

I'm having big stretch marks on body.

Female | 20

Stretch marks are common and appear when the skin is stretched significantly. They can be purple, red, or silver, depending on how long they’ve been there. Causes include rapid growth, weight changes, and pregnancy. Solutions include using moisturizers, and creams, and maintaining a healthy weight. While they usually fade over time, they may not completely disappear.

Sir face per fungal infection mark ha uska solution btaye

Male | 24

Patches can appe­ar discolored when a fungus infects facial skin. Ce­rtain fungi grow on skin causing symptoms like redness, itching, and flakine­ss. Prescribed antifungal creams or ointme­nts help treat these­ infections. Keeping infe­cted areas clean and dry assists e­ffective treatme­nt. Although not severe, fungal infe­ctions can leave marks if untreate­d. Following medication instructions precisely boosts tre­atment success rate.

I am 33 years old men.i working as a driver .I have acne on buttocks for several years. Especially after driven vehicle I feel so hard . What can I do now..? Is there any location

Male | 33

A breakout on your bum can arise due to sweat, friction, or clogging pores with bacteria. To minimize acne, wear loose-fitting clothes, shower after driving, and use a mild facial cleanser. As other options, develop a habit of consulting with the pharma about the medications selected. It may help you reduce the symptoms.

I am 20 year old female and I am suffering from acne from past few years.i want to ask as my whole skin is dry or I can say very dry...but only my nose is very much oily...so which type of cleanser should I use... creamy or foaming?

Female | 20

Creamy cleanser( low level of PH)  will be good for skin that is dry  and for part of your skin that is oily(nose) foaming cleanser will be good. But use moisturizer later. I hope this proved helpful.

I am 21 years old and having forehead acne only and no acne on other part of face and my doctor suggested me isotretinoin should I take it or they are for severe acne?

Female | 21 years

Forehead acne is quite common. It can be because of the sebum the skin makes too much as it gets plugged and distresses the follicles. Isotretinoin is mainly used for the treatment of severe acne, so if your doctor has recommended it, it may indicate that your acne has become more severe and chronic. Make sure you are listening to your doctor and feel free to express your worries if you have any.
