Small pimple in body filled with water
Male | 21
If you have a little pimple on your body full of water, it could be a condition called a water blister. This is more often than not due to friction or burns. It may be a tiny bubble on your skin. The best strategy is to keep it clean and not pop it. It's your body's way of filling the area with protection as it is recovering. However, if it starts to get painful or the rash spreads, you should see a dermatologist.

Hello! I'd like to consult on a medication called Doxycycline I took 2 doses wrongly by accident (2 pills 2 times a day instead of 1 pill 2 times a day) Should I wait 24 hours and take the next dose in the morning? or should I take my next dose now? also, could I check the effectiveness of doxycycline? (I have taken doxycycline before and I'm concerned it might not be effective) Thank you!
Male | 24
Overdosing on doxycycline can lead to side effects such as queasiness or throwing up. If you took extra doses by mistake, do not take another one immediately. It is recommended that you wait until your next scheduled dose. Doxycycline might not be effective if you have had it before especially if it was not prescribed to you. If you are worried about anything, ask your dermatologist for advice.

Male | 20
A small corn grew on your foot. You used a corn cap, causing it to increase in size. The swelling occurs when the skin reacts to pressure or friction. Soak your foot in warm water. Gently file the corn. Wear comfortable shoes to reduce pressure. If it doesn't improve, see a dermatologist.

Male | 22
You may have sunken eye sockets and dark circles. Many things can cause this. It could be due to your genes, not enough sleep, or not drinking enough water. To make it better, be sure to get plenty of rest and drink lots of water. You can also try using an eye cream to add moisture to the area. Taking care of your overall health and getting good sleep can help your eyes look better.

Hi, my brother is having these white spots on his back right below neck. It was a tiny spot and now it is increasing. What should we do?
Male | 29
Your brother may have a condition called tinea versicolor. It occurs when areas of the skin get discolored with white pigmentation. Since there are yeasts that occur, they are the result of the infection of the skin. The circles get bigger if the weather is warm and wet. Use an antifungal cream or medicated shampoo to help you out. Visit a dermatologist to get a proper solution for his condition.

I am 50 year old female suffering from lichen planopilaris. I have tried using topical steroids but is not helping with hair loss and I can see more patches appearing.I need help urgently to improve my scalp condition. Thanks
Female | 50
Lichen planopilaris is a skin disease that causes the hair follicles on the scalp to be damaged, leading to hair loss and patches on the scalp. Topical steroids are not always effective. You may need other treatments like oral medications or injections to help the existing condition. I recommend you to a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

Male | 1
This could be a rash, eczema, or an infection. Be careful of any redness, itching, or changes in your baby's skin. To keep your baby safe, wash their skin with mild soap and water. If you see any new symptoms, it's better to talk to a dermatologist to get the correct treatment.

Hy good evening sir... My name is Rahif and I am currently working in saudi arabia... I am facing mouth irritation like small bumps under right side of my tounge ,they come and go away but not permanently from last some months also from last some days I am facing oral thrush,can you guide me please..
Male | 27
The little bumps under your tongue that appear and disappear might be swollen taste buds, which don’t pose any danger. Conversely, oral thrush is a result of yeast infection. This is quite widespread and can be cured with antifungal drugs that should be prescribed by a physician. Do not forget to brush your teeth regularly and to follow a balanced diet.

A couple days ago i noticed a large lump underneath one of my armpits. a few weeks prior my armpit had been feeling very sore and painful but i just recently looked and saw a large lump and there was some sort of discharge leaking from it.. a few days later it’s gotten somewhat smaller but now there is a nasty raw scab growing around it and it hurts and itches. also the center of the lump is red and sticking outward and looks like it’s bleeding.

This could be a clue to some infection. See a dermatologist immediately for an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment. Immediate medical treatment is vital in such situations.

Pimple in my private part
Female | 25
Most of the time, these boils are a consequence of the blockage of oil glands or the follicles of the hair. They are occasionally itchy or even painful. Be sure to keep the area clean and resist the temptation to pop the pimple. Also, wear pajamas that are loose-fitted and soaps that are gentle. It's still there or even worsening, you should consult a dermatologist.

I was bitten by a tick a week ago. I got it out s day later when i noticed it but couldn't get its head out. Its starting to itch and looks like a slight rash. Should i be worried or will it go away on it's own?
Female | 35
When ticks bite, it can cause itching, rash, and redness on the skin. If the tick’s head remains in your body, it may result in an infection. To alleviate this, wash the affected area with soap and water then apply an anti-itch cream. Watch out for any signs of infection like increased redness or pain; should you notice any seek medical attention immediately.

I am 23 yrs old girl who is suffering from pcos , obesity . I have hair on my body as well as facial hairs . My weight is increasing. Please tell me how to control this facial hair growth without medicine This is my question I request you to please revert me the answer.
Female | 23
It sounds like you might be suffering from PCOS which is caused by hormonal disturbances. Excess body hair and obesity are the most typical signs. Unwanted hair on the chin and the upper lips may be a result of high levels of male hormones in your body. To manage hair growth without medication you could try gentle methods such as shaving, waxing, or threading. These will grant you temporary relief as the hair is removed.
