Skin Peel: Flake, Crusty, Black - Causes and Solutions
Skin flake, crusty and black after skin peel
Dermatologist
Answered on 26th Sept '24
Some skin flaking, crusty appearance, and black discoloration after a peel is normal. This occurs because the peel removes your top skin layer, exposing new skin underneath. Sometimes, temporary discoloration and dryness can result. To aid recovery, moisturize gently and avoid picking flaky areas. Over time, as healing progresses, your skin condition should improve. If it doesn't, visit a dermatologist.

I am Siddhartha Banerjee of 50 years feeling pressure sore just at the middle of my chest under the skin beside of a lump. Observed reddish area beside the lump from where the pain comes. Please suggest me what to do.
Male | 50
The issues you mentioned like sore spots, lumps, and red areas may indicate an abscess. This infection occurs when bacteria enters the skin. Keep the affected area dry and clean. Use warm compresses for pain relief. However, if symptoms don't improve or worsen, seek proper medical assessment and treatment from a dermatologist promptly.

Female | 22
You could have a condition called eyelid dermatitis. It can make the eyelid dry and itchy. It usually stems from allergies to the products you use like makeup, or skin care. The first thing to try is to use a gentle, scent-free moisturizer on your eyelid. Besides, stop the usage of any products that may be irritating reason. If it doesn't get better, visit a dermatologist for further advice.

I am 38 I have a smooth but raised lump/lesion on inside of my finger (hurts with pressure) It is round circular shape and fleshcoloured/ see through with a few speckles inside & & slightly redaround edges I have never had lumps/warts on my hand before Used colloidal silver gel But not changing I was possibly skin ro to contact with a person who had stds in the past but its turned up months after.
Female | 38
A wart is growing on your finger. Warts are produced by a virus that can be transmitted from person to person. They can be uncomfortable and have a skin-like look. Although colloidal silver gel might be helpful, it may not be sufficient for complete healing. I suggest consulting a dermatologist who will prescribe you the appropriate treatment. The removal of warts can be done by different methods such as freezing or applying special creams.

I have a rash on breast for a year changes slightly recently. No other symptoms
Female | 40
A rash on the breast persisting for a year and showing recent changes should prompt a visit to a dermatologist. While it could be benign, such changes may signify underlying issues like dermatitis, fungal infections, or even rare conditions like Paget's disease of the breast.

Male | 14
It is okay to have white or grey hair when you are young. Genetics is one of the main reasons this might happen. Ridiculing someone because of their hair color is not okay. Optionally, there are hair dyes that can even transform a light hair color into a completely different one.

I have a big mole on my neck that’s been there since birth. It makes me self conscious, and feels weird when I move it. How can I get it removed safely without going to a doctor, or what doctor can I go to for the least cost?
Female | 24
Take care when removing moles without the aid of a physician. If there is a large mole that changes shape or color, it may be necessary to have it examined by a dermatologist. These are doctors who specialize in skin and can provide a thorough evaluation. The best way to ensure that the mole is removed safely and inexpensively would be visiting a dermatologist.

17 year old Trans man. I believe i have an infection on my finger for a few months. There is redness, swelling and some black and yellow bits.
Male | 17
It looks like you have a sore on your finger. A sore is red and puffy. It might have black or yellow stuff. This means germs got in a cut. To help, keep it clean and dry. You may need medicine if it does not get better. Do not pop it by yourself. Just cover it until you see a dermatologist.

I have acne scars which topical creams are best to use
Male | 24
Topical creams having retinoids, glycolic acid, and vitamin C are quite helpful in fading away the appearance of the scars. Nevertheless, you need to confer with a dermatologist if you are going to opt for a skin cream and the specialist can guide you with a better treatment plan that is unique to your type of skin and the extent of your scars.

My hair is thinning in the middle of my head
Male | 20
You might be going bald from a spot above your head. This can happen as a result of male-pattern baldness. You might note that thinner hair is the case and your scalp is becoming more prominent. The triggers might be genetic factors and hormonal agents. Medication options such as minoxidil and finasteride can be considered but it is preferable to consult a dermatologist to obtain a personalized solution.

Male | 19
Hair loss can occur due to stress, poor nutrition, hormone changes, and genetics. You may notice more strands on your pillow or shower drain. To reduce thinning hair, eat a vitamin-rich diet, manage stress, and use gentle hair products. Excessive heat styling should be avoided. Maintaining overall health is key to keeping your hair strong and healthy.

I am 18 year old and have pimples for around 5 years I have taken several medications but everything stops working after some time it also makes in destress sometimes i don't have very severe acne can i take accutane treatment to get permanent solution from it.
Female | 18
Seems like you have been fighting acne for this period already and it hasn’t been easy. What brings about them are blocked pores plus germs Isotretinoin alternatively known as Accutane is a strong drug usually saved for serious cases of acne. It can be a permanent solution for certain individuals. The best thing is your kind of acne is not severe therefore before you think about this drug there are other forms of treatment that you need to discuss with your dermatologist.

I am having a small lump behind my ear just noticed right now the size is small
Female | 18
Discovery of a small lump behind your ear is a cause of some concern but on the other hand, the realization that you have noticed it is great news. Swelling in the lymph nodes might be a cause, which is enough to say that your body is under attack by infections. The increase in size may also be due to cysts, or skin conditions, such as fatty lumps. If there is no improvement or even if you get other symptoms, the best advice is to visit a dermatologist for a check to be on the safe side.

Female | 33
You may have a condition called eczema. Eczema can cause red, itchy patches with small water-filled blisters, especially on the hands. Switching to a new living environment can sometimes lead to skin reactions. Use a mild moisturizer, avoid harsh soaps, and wear gloves for hand protection. If the rash does not improve, it is important to consult a dermatologist for further assistance.

I’ve had an allergic reaction to something that I have eaten. That was three days ago. I went to the hospital because I started getting hives. They were itchy, so sore and red and hot to the touch. They said it was a surface allergy. And gave me a steroid, antihistamine, anti inflammatory. But after it wears off it gets hot to the touch my face burns and turns red and swells slightly and it starts to spread more til I take the next dose and then I start to feel a little better idk what’s going on
Female | 22
Perhaps your body is responding to something to which it is allergic. Sometimes, reactions are not instant, taking days to fully develop. The redness, swelling, hives, and warmth you feel are typical allergic signs. Avoid whatever caused this reaction. Continue taking prescribed medicine. However, if symptoms worsen or persist, consult a dermatologist promptly.

There is a red lump that looks like a boil near my vaginal area specifically bikini line. It hurts. What could this be
Female | 22
You might have an abscess or infected hair follicle lying on your waist area. This is a scenario that happens quite often when a person gets an irritation caused by friction or shaving of the skin. I strongly suggest consulting with a gynecologist or a dermatologist for the definitive diagnosis and the right treatment.

I have lost half of my hair (majorly from middle and side of my head) in one year and my skin has became loose with wrinkles and I am only 24. What are the causes and remedies
Male | 24
If you are loosing hair at 24 years, that is most probably due to pattern hair loss or androgenetic alopecia which requires topical and oral medications. If medications are used within time, this will result in stopping the further hair loss and reversal of the hair loss as well. Said that proper diagnosis is mandatory before moving any further and a proper dermatology consultation is required for diagnosis and proper management

I am using minoxidil since 2 month. After using this my hair line is more visible what can I do ?
Male | 25
This might happen sometimes as a side effect. Minoxidil could cause increased hair fall before new hair starts to grow. The most important thing is to wait because this shedding usually is temporary. If you are worried, it’s better to continue using the medicine as directed and consult your doctor for more advice.

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.
Female | 27
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.

I am a 24 year old girl who has undergone culture test frequently and taken medication but I’m still itchy In my perineum and it looks whitish . I’ve also applied steroid creams. Today I came back from a long trip and my liner was soaked with discharge and some of it looks like chunky cheese
Female | 24
It appears that you could be dealing with a yeast infection. Yeast is a type of germ that can cause itching, white discharge and sometimes looks like chunky cheese. Taking antibiotics or wearing tight clothes can sometimes cause yeast infections. You can try using over-the-counter antifungal creams for a few weeks to see if it helps. In addition, wearing loose cotton clothes and avoiding scented products in that area may also help. If the condition persists, you can visit a dermatologist.
