Do I have a painless bump under my elbow?
Small pearl size substance feel under skin on nearby elbow cannot see no pain

Answered on 18th June '24
This is likely (or can be) what we call a cyst. Cysts are usually benign and arise when oil or skin cells are stuck under the skin. Oftentimes, these cysts don't give you any irritations and therefore do not cause any problems. If it is not bothering you, you can disregard it. But whatever the case may be, it is best to visit a dermatologist if it grows or starts to be painful.

I am a 17 year old girl, recently I noticed some white small point sized or slightly bigger patches on my hips. I don't know what to do, but I'm afraid this might be some big disease.
Female | 17
It might be a common skin condition called pityriasis alba. This isn't something to worry about. Pityriasis alba can lead to pale patches on the skin, mainly on the face, neck, and arms. You can see them better in summer when your skin is darker. Dryness is what makes the skin turn lighter than it’s supposed to be, the reason for this happening is mostly because of dryness. You might also want to consider moisturizing your skin more often with lotion, or drinking plenty of water helps too. If there is no change after doing all these things then go to a dermatologist who will advise on treatment methods for this condition.

It sounds like you may have acne and skin condition like seborrheic dermatitis. To manage these conditions wash your face twice a day with a gentle cleanser. Avoid touching your face, use noncomedogenic skincare products, try acne treatments, and use a moisturizer. If the symptoms are severe, consult a dermatologist for specialized treatment.

If it happens you touch the wet nose of a cow with your bare fingers in broken or chipped nails, you should visit a doctor in time. Walk into a dermatologist clinic for a detailed assessment and appropriate advice about the possibility of risk and further medication if necessary (PEP).

Hi I am 21 years old I am suffering face white heads severely on nose and blackheads also facing open pores and facing sabeceous filaments on chin tell me about best sunblock and best treatment of these things
Female | 21
These are common issues at your age. They happen because your skin makes too much oil and dead skin cells clog your pores. To help, use a sunblock with SPF 30 or higher to protect your skin. A good treatment would include gentle cleansing with salicylic acid, use non-comedogenic moisturizers, and see a dermatologist for specific suggestions about your skin.

I have recently done Human Simplex virus(HSV) 1+2 igM serum test it come back <0.500 and another Human Simplex Virus (HSV) 1+2 igG serum test it come back 0.87 , sir could you please explain this , am I Infected or not
Male | 25
The IgM test result which is less than 0.500 means there are no recent infections. However, the IgG test result of 0.87 indicates a past infection. You might commonly have symptoms such as blisters, pain, and itching. Nevertheless, treatments are available to cope with the symptoms and outbreaks, so, don't hesitate to contact a dermatologist for more help.

A few days ago I noticed a bump on my head and I thought I just hit my head. After a couple days it started to get a bit bigger and I noticed that it was a pimple on my scalp. I popped the pimple and removed all the pus and it started to bleed for a little bit but it shortly went away. I went to take a look at it today and I noticed a small circular bald spot about 1 cm in diameter where the pimple used to be. When touching the area with my hand I noticed that the hair in that area is really sensitive and can fall out if I rummage my hand through that area. Is this a concern or is this something normal?
Male | 21
A small circular bald spot on the scalp after popping a pimple is not uncommon, but if the area is sensitive and hair is falling out, please see a dermatologist to rule out infection or other underlying conditions.

Taking care of your skin is not very complex; just following the simple steps of a daily skincare routine can give you the best results. Wash your face with mild cleansers twice a day, moisturize your face daily, and use sunscreen as sun protection is paramount. For clear and healthy skin, make an appointment with a dermatologist.

which doctors need to consult if having redness on front skin or can say Balanites case, Dermatologist/Urologist/Analogist/Sexologist
Male | 60
If you see redness in the front skin area then it might be a condition called balanitis. Symptoms of balanitis are the redness, swelling, and discomfort. Some of the reasons may be: using poor hygiene, infections, or skin conditions. Keeping the area clean, avoiding skin irritants including strong soaps, and wearing comfortable clothes can all help. If the symptoms do not go away or worsen, see a urologist or a dermatologist for the correct treatment.

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.

Good afternoon. I am Subhankar Sir/mam The skin on my testicles is peeling off. There is some white coloured powder or it smells. Sometimes it itches too.
Male | 20
You likely have a fungus on your testicle. The symptoms you have mentioned like the peeling of skin, white substance, and smell, along with itching, appear to be a normal fungal infection. They may be caused by the lack of hygiene or tight clothes. This can be solved by keeping a dry and clean environment, wearing loose clothes, and using a pharmacist-recommended antifungal cream.

I am 23 years old and I did a breast surgery on 17th of march 2024 for removal of lump. The wound is yet to heal now. Few days after the surgery i noticed leakages from the stitches so i went back to the doctor then he stitched it again whivh made the healing process very slow. What can I do to heal the opened wound on my right breast? I find it difficult to bathe. I was prescribed ciprotab by the doctor and vitamin c (but I got the coloured ones instead) or should I have been using the white one? I already stopped the ciprotab
Female | 23
To help the wound heal, ensure that you keep it clean and dry, wash the area gently with some mild soap and water then dry. Any rough movements which might disrupt the stitches should be avoided. Consult with Your Doctor on the right type of vitamin C use, usually white because colored ones could have added ingredients. Should there be signs like increased pain, redness, swelling, or pus, then do seek medical Help immediately as this could mean infection.

Hi doctor, I'm experiencing severe itching and redness and would like to know the cause and medications of any. Please let me know thanks.
Male | 25
You are going through itching and redness, which could be different things. Skin irritants, allergies, insect bites, or eczema are a few of the common causes. To relieve yourself, use mild moisturizers, cold compresses, and over-the-counter antihistamines. If you continue scratching it may cause further irritation, so don't do that. If these signs do not go away or get worse then make a point of visiting a dermatologist.

It is important to mind red lines on your thighs, as they might result from skin infections, irritants, or even insect bites. It would be of much help if you knew when these marks appeared first and any other symptoms you might have. Ensure that the area is clean and avoid scratching. Consider using a mild antiseptic cream; otherwise, seek further evaluation from a dermatologist.

Dark underarms can be due to fungus, sweating and acanthosis nigricans(insulin resistance). which needs through check. Skin Lightening creams, peels and carbon laser are very effective. Treatment of underlying condition need to be seen into. Sweat absorbing powders can be used. And anti fungal creams to treat the fungus.
