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.

Hi my daughter has a spot on her tummy and it's painful to touch and it's all red with little white spots around it

Female | 4

Your daughter most probably has a skin infection called Impetigo. A painful, red spot with white spots around it is a symptom of this illness. This is due to bacteria entering the skin, which usually happens when a cut or insect bite is present. To deal with this issue, keep the area clean, apply antibiotic cream, and cover it with a bandage. Make sure she doesn't scratch it to prevent spreading the infection.

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.

Doctor, I have started feeling itchy in inner thighs. It turns out to be black and lotss of rashes are there

Female | 17

You have jock itch, which is a skin condition that grows a fungus on your skin in hot and damp regions such as the inner thighs. The list includes itching, blackening of the skin as well as rashes. Treatment of the ailment entails you having to purchase antifungal creams. This illness is one of those that often recur. Keep your skin clean and dry after training to prevent it from flaring up again.

is using the spoon already used by stranger cause any skin problems like shape change?

Male | 24

Using a stranger's spoon won't instantly cause unusual patterns to appear on your skin. However, it is possible to develop skin issues like infections or rashes. Your skin may show irritation through symptoms such as redness, itching, or swelling. To prevent this, it's best to always use your own spoon and sanitize it properly. If irritation does occur, applying a soothing skincare lotion can help calm the skin.

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.
