Answered on 18th Oct '24
You may have molluscum contagiosum, a viral skin infection that causes small bumps with a white or shiny center. These bumps can appear on your face, neck, arms, or other body parts. It spreads through direct contact. Treatment may include creams, but sometimes the bumps go away. Keep the area clean and avoid scratching to prevent spreading it to others.

i want to check my face is my face is healthy or fat
Male | 24
You want to figure out whether it is healthy or there is too much fat, then look for signs like puffiness, a double chin, or round cheeks. A situation like this may be caused by eating too many junk foods and not being physically active enough. To fix this, you can eat more fruits and vegetables, drink lots of water, and move with some activities such as walking, or dancing.

I am a male 17 year old almost I suddenly was showering and checked a bump when I was checking groin area lower abdomen left side and upper part of groin area I found something that is 1 cm and I can feel it? And I checked on other side but it was very small I can feel it but not as outer side as on left side is this inguinal lymph node? Or something serious I am very tensed feeling so scared what is it , I also had ultrasound a month ago of whole abdomen I don't think it was found or seen it that because it's in lower abdomen
Male | 17
The lump you are sensing in your groin region might be an engorged inguinal lymph node. Lymph nodes can get bigger due to different reasons like a cold or a sore. Most of the time, they return to their normal size without any intervention. Mind it, if the situation gets worse, you might experience pain and other signs like fever, do visit a dermatologist.

Hi, I'm a 21 year old female and I just noticed a white thing at the back of my tongue and it has veins,should I be alarmed? Also how do I gain weight fast?
Female | 21
Not rarely do you spot the transformation of the back of your tongue, a white patch with prominent veins being visible. This may be a result of several aspects, such as irritation, dehydration, or mild infection. Therefore it is usually harmless, you should still be cautious and follow up on the condition in case of any changes, discomfort, or the continuation of symptoms. By the way, a consultation with a dermatologist is advisable for clarification and security. For proper weight gain, it is best to choose foods that are high in nutrients such as nuts, avocados, whole grains, and dairy.

Hi mam! I had been facing a bacterial infection around the gaps of my toes. Yesterday the pus was coming out of it and now it's swollen and painful. I can't walk properly from last 2 weeks because of it. I tried a lot to cure it by soaking my legs in hot water and applying normal moisturizer cream.
Female | 20
It appears like a serious wound infection in your big toe. This case needs to be brought to the attention of a doctor straight away. You may need to see a dermatologist or a podiatrist to get the problem sorted as soon as possible to avoid more complications.

I am a 26 year old female. I went on vacation to Rhode Island. On Thursday after arriving I went and sat in a porch swing outside. A couple minutes later I felt something bite me. First it looked like mosquitos. Now it does not. Now it burns/stings. It does not itch. They are red and kinda scabbed over like. I have about 9 spots in a cluster on my back right in the middle of my spine. They are really uncomfortable.
Female | 26
You may have been bitten by a spider or some other bug that causes irritation. Initially these bites may resemble mosquito bites but they change with time. A burning/stinging sensation is a frequent symptom. To ease the discomfort, you could try applying a cold compress to the area. If it does not improve or if you start to feel unwell, visit a dermatologist.

I am 25 years old Female and 6 weeks pregnant at the moment. i am suffering from an infection in my vulva and pubic hair region since 7 years now. It’s something like whitish and cheesy substance in the vulva and blackish dirt like in other remaining hairy region. I scratch it everyday before bathing but it keeps coming back within hours. What should I do?
Female | 25
Hey there! It might be a yeast infection, or perhaps it is a fungal infection in the vulva and pubic hair area as well. The whitish and cheesy substance in the vulva and blackish dirt in the pubic hair region are common symptoms. Yeast infections can be caused by moisture, poor hygiene, or taking antibiotics. The area should be kept clean and dry, wearing cotton underwear, avoiding harsh soaps, and not scratching it to prevent further irritation from the above. Over-the-counter antifungal creams might work but you can also consult a dermatologist.

"Hey, I just noticed that today my blood vessels are a purple color, and when I try to touch them, it doesn't cause any pain only a little bit of sore otherwise im fine. It started today, and I don't feel any symptoms at all. im not on any medication.
Male | 20
Purple blood vessels on the skin can look unusual, but they're usually not a big deal. Increased pressure might make them more noticeable. If there's no pain or other symptoms, it's probably nothing to worry about. Try elevating your legs and avoiding standing for too long. However, if you're concerned, see a dermatologist for treatment.

Female | 32
You might still be experiencing symptoms from shingles. Even after taking medicine, the pain and burning can persist for some time. It's important to visit a dermatologist to check the condition and ensure it’s healing properly. If you’re feeling shortness of breath, it’s also a good idea to see a pulmonologist to rule out any other issues.

I am getting married in August. I have very big open pores. And as my skin is oily, I have some acne also. Will microdermabrasion treatment help clear all these and make the skin surface smooth?
Female | 30
For very big open pores, the oil secretion needs to be controlled, because if oil secretion is not controlled, the pores wont reduce. For oil correction using salicylic acid based face washes, avoiding hair oil are important measures. Apart from that micro-needling or micro-needling radiofrequency, CO2 Laser are better options than just dermabrasion though microdermabrasion might have little effect on open pores.

My father is having a problem like he is having a allergy on complete body when ever he is using any type of hair color he has consulted to many doctors dermatologists but he is not able to find any solutions and all the doctors has recommended him to excuse hair color for life time and strictly told him not to use any type of hair color but he dont want white hair. He want to use any hair color which is chemical free or he is trying to find any solution or any replacement of hair color which can help him to make his hair look black and dont get allergic. Please give me any type of solution from which he can be able to make his hair look black once again without getting any type of allergy.
Male | 55
It seems your father has a severe allergic reaction to hair color. Dermatologists have advised him to avoid all hair colors to prevent further reactions. He should look for natural alternatives like henna or indigo powder, which are less likely to cause allergies. However, it's important to consult with a dermatologist or an allergist before trying any new product to ensure it's safe for him.

I am taking medicine regarding skin allergy or I want to ask that I am also doing workout and hence I am also taking creatine, can I take medicine after that or not?
Male | 18
Be mindful when taking your medicine. If you're using creatine for muscle building while treating a skin allergy, timing is important. Some medications may interact with creatine or affect your workout. To be safe, ask your dermatologist if your skin allergy medicine will interfere with your creatine use.

I was having balanitis one year back and got treated but later that year me and my girlfriend both got diagnosed with HPV. Now I am is getting cracked foreskin. Due to that it's getting pain whenever gets stretched. Also the skin around the anal area is loosing and looks pinkish without pain.
Male | 28
According to your symptoms, a fungal infection or an irritation might be the reason behind it. The cracked foreskin could result from either the infection or the dryness. The pinkish skin around the anal area might be related. Hygiene is the first thing that must be done to make this area stay clean and dry. Antifungal cream or simple moisturizer may be required. Keep away from strong soaps and wear loose clothes. Drink plenty of liquids and eat a balanced diet to aid the natural healing process.

Can we take candiforce 200 and hicope 10 tablet together at a time
Male | 24
It is not advised to use Candiforce 200 and Hicope 10 tablets simultaneously. The use of Candiforce in the treatment of fungal infections like thrush is one of the products while Hicope is useful in handling allergy symptoms. The interaction of the two could cause side effects such as dizziness, stupor, or stomach problems. It's always safe to go according to your doctor's instructions. If you have trouble, communicate with your doctor.

Which treatment is best for vitiligo in children below 5 years, homeopathy, ayurveda, or allopathy? What treatment is given to kids for focal vitiligo above lips?
Male | 3
The best treatment for vitiligo in children below 5 years old would depend on the severity of the condition. Generally, topical corticosteroids are the most commonly used treatment for vitiligo in children, and they are used in combination with other treatments like phototherapy, topical calcineurin inhibitors, and systemic immunomodulators. For focal vitiligo above the lips, the treatment of choice is usually topical corticosteroids. Additionally, topical immunomodulators and phototherapy can be used in combination with topical corticosteroids to improve the effectiveness of the treatment. Homeopathy, ayurveda, and other alternative treatments can be used in conjunction with conventional treatments, but should be discussed with a doctor before starting.

Hi I am 38 years and I am from Jaipur. I have been facing a gradual hair thinning problem since my early 30's. I have researched about Hair transplant, But I'm a little confused about the after looks. Does it look natural or will people understand that I am wearing something artificial?
No, hair transplant never looks artificial because the hair angle is placed as the natural hairline.

I have these little rashes on my neck and I need them to go away I need some type of cream or medicine that would help it so my neck wouldn’t have all of these rashes on my neck it’s so annoying
Female | 20
These welts might result from skin irritations, allergies, or even some skin disorders such as eczema. To help them disappear, you could get an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream. This cream will reduce the swelling. Avoid itching or scratching to prevent further irritation. Also, remember to clean the affected area and keep it dry. But if these rashes are still there after doing all these things then go see a dermatologist.

Will washing his hair scar his scalp or will his scalp scab and heal back to normal?
Other | 24
Regularly washing hair won't harm your scalp or cause scabs, unless you scrub roughly or use very hot water. If scalp feels sore, turns red, or develops scabs, try gentler shampoo and lukewarm water instead. Don't scratch the scalp. Allow it to heal naturally. However, if the issue persists, consult a dermatologist for professional advice.
