I want know about how i care my skin
Male | 17
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.

I applied undiluted dettol on my face [acne region (cheek and forehead) as it was bleeding] and forgot to wash it off. This later burnt my skin and now two months later theres a brownish patch which I am unable to get rid of regardless of how many scars removal cream and depigmenting creams I have used. Please help me recognise the problem with a solution for the same. Thank you.
Female | 16
Undiluted Dettol is said to cause burns and dark patches on the skin, especially the sensitive area of the face. The brownish skin spot that you have may be the result of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. To discolor the patch, avoid sun exposure by applying sunscreen, and think about visiting a dermatologist for chemical peels or laser therapy treatment.

I am 21 years old and I have na itchy skin,I googled and saw that it's called hives since when it's itchy and I scratch I'm left with this things I googled called hives,it also comes with lip swell, there's a certain doctor who told me not to use medicine with sulphur and I stop using body lotions but I'm still suffering .what might be the problem and what can you recommend I use to end it.
Female | 21
You might have hives, which can be itchy skin and even swelling on your lips. Hives can be caused by different reasons such as allergies, stress, or infections. It is great that you have completely stopped using sulfur-containing products. Attempt to 'take an over-the-counter antihistamine' like diphenhydramine for help with itching and swelling. Besides, try to understand and avoid what could be the cause of your hives. If the issue persists, it is best to visit a dermatologist.

If you have phimosis symptoms, make sure to contact a healthcare specialist. Although skin stretching exercises may be beneficial for some cases, they have the potential to cause further harm if performed incorrectly. One should consult a Doctor to receive proper diagnosis and treatment.

My whole body has been itchy for about a week now. Feet, legs, stomach, back, chest, arms, hands, and head have been so itchy. What’s wrong?
Female | 18
It seems like you could have dermatitis, a condition that can make your skin extremely itchy all over. Dry skin, allergies, or irritation from some products may be the cause of this. To help yourself feel better, try using mild lotion not scratching yourself too much and wearing loose clothes. Should this not work for you it would be good to see a dermatologist who will give you more advice on what to do about it.

I am 21 yrs old male I have like rash, blisters forming in my inner thigh Which is itching
Male | 21
You are going through a simple condition called jock itch. This occurs mostly in men and is due to a rash, scratching, and blistering in the area of your inner thighs. Excessive perspiration, chafing, or even a fungal infection might be the cause of this. To make this easier, make sure the area is kept clean and dry, don't wear tight clothing, and use antifungal creams or powders. If the condition does not improve, visit a dermatologist.

I have ance on my face and I want to get get of it it gives me insecurities too much
Female | 18
Acne is an issue many people deal with. Clogged pores allow oil and dead skin build-up. Whiteheads, blackheads, pimples form. Use gentle face wash. Don't pop pimples. Over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide products help. If very severe acne persists, see a dermatologist. They can prescribe stronger medication.

Vitiligo surgery is possible
Male | 25
Vitiligo is a kind of skin disorder where some areas of the skin get depigmented. It affects the aesthetics but does not bring any pain or sickness. The primary cause is still unclear, but one suspicion could be that the immune system attacks the pigment cells. Surgery is an option to help with color restoration, but it is not a solution to the problem. A thorough examination by a dermatologist is necessary to determine if surgery can be the best solution for you.

New skin spots appear, and their numbers grow. Spots emerge on your legs - reasons vary, from skin issues to allergies or excessive sun. Getting spots examined by a dermatologist is vital; they provide advice and treatment tailored to your condition.

I think I have a std or something, i have bump that appeared recently on my lower bum crack and i had a bump that was close to my penis in my public area
Male | 15
Be sure to go to the doctor as soon as possible if you think you might be infected with an STD. You may have genital herpes, or an STD if you experience a swelling in the bump on your lower bum area. A dermatologist or a specialist in sexual health can be suited to diagnose and treat any conditions you may suffer.

Hi my 12 year old boy has a swollen lower lip that's been swollen for months
Female | 37
A swollen lower lip lasting months isn't normal. It's wise you seek advice. Swelling could result from various causes: allergies, infections, or harmless growths, making eating and talking difficult. To receive proper treatment, consult a dermatologist. They'll identify the precise cause, providing suitable care. Swelling could stem from an allergic reaction to something you ate or used. Or it could indicate an infection requiring antibiotics.

Dr. Alvin's Product No. 4 Peeling Set I use on my face for 36 days. My skin is very oily and sensitive. The peeling product did not give good results after using it on my skin. Currently my skin is white and black. Now what can I do?
Female | 19
The white and black spots you noticed could result from product irritation. This might've caused hyperpigmentation. Stop using the product immediately. Use a gentle, moisturizing cleanser and moisturizer made for sensitive skin instead. Wear sunscreen daily to protect your skin. Give your skin time to heal, avoiding harsh products. If the changes persist or worsen, consult a dermatologist.

I am a 22 year old with suspected scabies. Have tried permethrin cream, malathion lotion and oral ivermectin. Have been very thorough with the instructions, however am still itchy and now red spots are appearing as opposed to the skin coloured burrows that I previously had. Do i still have scabies or something else?
Female | 22
It does not look like the scabies treatment has worked as it should. So you still have a rash and itching. Scabies can be quite challenging to remove completely at times. New red spots can mean a few things, such as a reaction to the treatment or another skin condition. To check it out, it is better to talk to the dermatologist for a deeper investigation as well as to discuss other possible treatments.

on 08/05/2024,suddenly i felt pain in my left breast.The pain went away after taking a pain killer. (hifenac sp).But after six days (on 14/052024)when I squeezed my breast,i found a pus like discharge from the same breast.next day i went to the doctor and i uploaded the prescription.now when i squeeze my breast i can see pus. i have two children.younger one is 4 year and 5 months old.no lump is felt.when will it be cured?should i stop squeezing breast?please help.
Female | 34
It seems like you are going through mastitis which is an infection in the breast tissue. The pus-like discharge is a sign of infection. Mastitis can result from bacteria entering the breast via a cracked nipple or blocked milk duct. It is important to keep on taking any prescribed antibiotics and not to squeeze the breast because it can make the infection worse. Ensure you feed and pump frequently in order to clear the infection. With proper treatment and rest, mastitis can generally be cured within a week.

Located on the ventral side of both arms and thighs, and includes occasional itching especially during hot weather and white patches when dry.
Male | 24
The symptoms you are describing on the undersides of your arms and thighs like occasional itching and white patches when dry could be eczema, a kind of skin condition. This is likely to occur more often in hot weather. Eczema means that the skin becomes very dry and itchy. Using a moisturizer daily and gentle soap may help alleviate these symptoms. However, if they persist or worsen, it would be best for you to see a dermatologist soon.

Female | 21
These problems can be attributed to hormonal imbalances or skin conditions. Good skincare practices, like using and maintaining a moisturizing product, will help to address the problem. You can consider hair removal methods as well. Eating a balanced diet and drinking water can also improve skin health. If these methods do not give positive results, then it is advisable to consult a dermatologist.

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.
