You may be a victim of an insect or spider bite. In some cases, though, these bites can make a person swell and feel pain. Although it's not itchy right now, the reaction can be different in the future. To help, clean the bites gently with soap and water, apply a cold compress like a cool cloth, and take over-the-counter pain relievers for the discomfort. If the swelling doesn't go away or new symptoms appear, it's better to contact a dermatologist for advice.

can bad hair affect your thinking or even hair grease/oil?
Male | 31
Your thought process will not be directly affected by having bad hair, oily hair, or even grease on it. But it might divert your attention if you don’t feel okay because of such problems. Hair becomes greasy when not washed frequently or much oil is used. To solve this problem, ensure you wash with mild shampoo now and then and minimize the number of hair products applied.

I am on Lamictal 100mg since last November The last 2weeks been having itchy skin no rash could this be the begging of Steven Johnson syndrome
Female | 68
Lamictal may cause itchy skin without any rash. Although rare, Stevens-Johnson syndrome is a concern. Fever, skin pain, and red or purple rash indicate SJS. If worried, talk to your doctor immediately. They'll determine if it's medication-related or not. Don't stop taking Lamictal before consulting your dermatologist.

I am 29 old guy suffering from Skin rash issue on my lags, I notice some red patch and at a same time it's very itchy
Male | 29
Skin rashes are caused by factors such as allergic reactions, insect bites, or skin disorders. Those red, flaky patches of skin and the sensation of itching can be attributed to eczema or contact dermatitis. To avoid itchiness, you may try nourishing the skin cream that is good for your skin, or you could also use cold compresses. If the rash is not going away and is becoming more intense, it would be best to see a dermatologist who can evaluate and treat the condition.

Treatment of the ailment entails you having to purchase antifungal creams. This illness is one of those that often recur.

I am 30 year old ,male and I have jock itch and I had laproscopic surgery for hydroneprosis and jock itch not curing ,what to do ?
Male | 30
Jock itch is the fungal infection which is the most common cause of the groin itching and redness. Since you've gone through surgery for hydronephrosis, you must keep the area well-hygienic and dry to treat jock itch. Using regular antifungal creams you can purchase without a prescription. Do not go for tight-fitting clothes and change into clean, dry ones often. If the jock itch persists, it's advisable to consult your dermatologist for the next steps.

If I have a wringworm and start putting blue star ointment on it 3 times a day but also put cortisone cream to soothe the itch will it cause the fungus to spread?
Female | 15
Using it together on a wringworm can actually make the fungus spread. It is recommended to only use antifungal medication to treat a wringworm, and consult a dermatologist for proper treatment.

I am 22 years old and I am facing with eczema on my finger it's kind of a dry itchy and small swellings on that finger and that spreading on other fingers of my hand too I have tried many creams but it helps temporarily and again the condition continues.. what should I do?
Female | 22
When ignored, eczema can cause dry, itchy skin with small bumps that may spread to other fingers. This condition is usually not contagious but uncomfortable. Eczema may be brought about by allergens or irritants present in the environment or stressors at home or the workplace. To manage this kind of problem, always keep the skin moisturized all the time; avoid anything that triggered the outbreak such as harsh detergent soaps among others–instead use mild ones which are readily available over-the-counter (OTC) drugs like hydrocortisone creams can also work effectively if prescribed by doctors specializing in treating diseases related with epidermis.

Hello Doctor, Myself Anjali. I am 25.5 yrs old. I am having severe itching in my private part whenever i go outside in sun.
Female | Anjali
It seems you are facing a heat rash which is a common condition. Your skin gets too hot due to the sun and it can make your skin red, itchy, and throbbing. After a time, you should avoid wearing clothes that are too tight. Make sure to wear cool, loose-fitting clothes. Moreover, always keep below clean and dry when there is a chance of heat rash. Calamine lotion can also be a good option to use to relieve the burning skin. Drinking enough water is important.

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.

You’re using isotretinoin tablets for your skin, which is perfect for acne treatment. Sometimes, dermatologists may slow down visits due to financial problems. The doctor will constantly monitor your situation and modify the treatment accordingly. In case of any new symptoms or concerns, you should contact your dermatologist as soon as possible.

You might be suffering from a condition called demodex infestation. Demodex is a type of tiny mite that settle on the face's hair follicles and oil glands. Typical symptoms include itching, hair loss from the eyebrows, and a crawling sensation on the skin. You may choose to use medicated creams or shampoos prescribed by a dermatologist in response to this. Your face must be cleaned regularly and also steer clear of greasy products.

I am 18-year old female and i have been experiencing throat pain, there’s small oranges bumps on the back of my throat, it hurts to sallow and my throat just looks red and swollen is also small patches on my tonsils.
Female | 18
You could have tonsillitis, a condition in which your tonsils become infected. It may be uneasy for you if your throat is red, swollen, and has small orange bumps and patches. Tonsillitis can be caused by viruses or bacteria. In more detail, the patient should follow the three instructions: drinking a lot of non-alcoholic fluids, sleeping more, and using over-the-counter analgesic medication that your healthcare provider recommended. The practice of gargling warm salty water will definitely sooth the pain as well. By that time the infection has not subsided; it can mean that you should see a physician for more care.
