Vitiligo is a condition where white patches develop on the skin and face. It occurs when cells that produce color for our skin die. Common signs include white spots appearing especially in areas exposed to sun. Treatment options comprise using topical steroids, light therapy, and skin grafts. It is important to wear sunscreen to protect affected parts.

Using steroids long years. How to stop. Even i stop this my skin was dull and dark

Female | 20

If you've used steroids frequently, quitting them may make your skin look lifeless and discolored. That's because steroids impact how skin produces pigment. To improve your skin, you'll need medical help to slowly reduce then stop using steroids. Be patient - recovery takes time. Eat well, drink water, and wear sunscreen. See a dermatologist if you're worried about your complexion or have other concerns.

My whole body has started small pimples and it is itching a lot. Maybe it’s an allergy but I don’t know

Female | 23

You might have a skin rash called hives. Hives are small red bumps that appear on the skin and certain allergy perfections act as the cause like food, medicine, or some other particle. The itching that is felt is because of skin inflammation in the exact area. You can take antihistamine drugs such as Benadryl which will help with itching. If a certain thing might have been the reason for the allergic reaction, then try to stick to it. The persistent or worsening of the hives are the causes that need you to get guidance from a dermatologist.

I have chicken pox and little cold also .I need medicine with prescription.

Female | 25

You have chicken pox accompanied by a slight cold that can be uncomfortable. Chickenpox is the cause of red spots on your skin and itchiness, while a cold can lead to a cough or sneezing. To help with the itchiness, you can take oatmeal baths and use calamine lotion. For the cold drinking warm fluids and resting should be the first. Ensure that besides drinking water, you also get enough sleep in order to allow your body to naturally combat the viruses responsible for these symptoms.

Me and my girlfriend had sex yesterday and now she feels itching during urination. She has a very dry skin.

Female | 24

It seems that your partner has got a urinary tract infection. Sometimes this happens after having sex. It can give a feeling of itchiness and uneasiness when peeing. The problem can even be worse if the skin is dry. Ensure she takes a lot of water to flush out the bacteria. Wearing loose cotton underwear and using a warm pad can help reduce the discomfort. She should visit a urologist.

There is pain in my One tip of nipple for 2 weeks If i touches it Please what is the reason for it

Male | 20

Infections, injuries, or even a blocked milk duct could be responsible for this. Nipple pain might also be caused by hormonal changes at times. Over-the-counter pain relievers can be used to relieve the pain but if it persists, see a doctor.

I am a 16 year boy, I am having issues in the areas near my penis. My thighs and upper part of penis, I can see some rashes of red colour and severe itching when in contact with water. I have another problem in my penis. My lower part of penis has some white pimple like lines all around and is it normal or something else. I have a 16cm penis is it ok for me.

Male | 16

The red rashes accompanied by intense itching can be a sign of fungal infection or irritation. Fordyce spots, which are harmless, could be what the white pimple-like lines on the lower part of your penis are. Use OTC antifungal cream on the rash and ensure the area remains dry and clean. If your symptoms persist, visit a dermatologist for further diagnosis and treatment.

Often, a cluster of boils on the buttock region can be attributed to bacteria or immune system dysfunction. A trip to see a dermatologist or infectious disease specialist is an important consideration when trying to figure out the root cause of your problem.

So i noticed brown spots on my neck up behind my ear by my hair line what can that be

Female | 30

Potentially, the brown spots you have behind your ear and the hairline might be due to a condition known as seborrheic keratosis. These spots are generally harmless and may come as you age. They don't contain any elements of contagion or cancer. If it damages or bothers you a dermatologist can pop them. Keep conducting thorough skin protection against sun rays to stop more spots appearing on your skin.

I am suffering from ring worm infection in my groin areas on the leg.

Male | 17

You likely have ringworm affecting your groin region and leg area. This common fungal infection creates reddish, itchy, scaly skin patches. It spreads easily through contact with infected people or animals. To treat, use over-the-counter antifungal creams/sprays. Keep that area clean, and dry - aiding healing. If there is no improvement, see a dermatologist.

Hello doctor , a cold sore under nose has left dark mark what to do regarding it

Female | 26

You have a dark mark left after a cold sore under your nose. A herpes simplex virus causes a cold sore. The sore is a part of the healing process, but it can leave behind a dark spot. This is the usual case. To help it fade, you can try using a cream with ingredients like vitamin C or kojic acid. Sunscreen use is always the first and essential skincare routine. With time, it should get better.

My mother has a skin disease. I want to know what type of disease it is and what is its treatment.

Female | 48

It sounds as if your mother has eczema. Eczema can make the skin itchy, red, and inflamed. It can be due to dry skin, irritants, or allergies. To alleviate eczema, moisturize the skin, avoid strong soaps, and use the prescribed creams from the dermatologist. In some cases, the doctor may suggest antihistamines to mitigate itching.

I have iching in scrotal sac. From last 5 days

Male | 17

You may have a condition called jock itch. Symptoms consist of itching in the scrotal area, redness, and sometimes a rash. The jock itch is caused by a fungus, which is more common in hot and damp environments. Moments when the itch first strikes, always maintain the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting clothes, and use antifungal creams to treat it. If the condition doesn't improve, visit a dermatologist.

Male | 62

A white patch on the neck could be a condition called pityriasis versicolor, caused by yeast growth on the skin. It usually leads to white patches without other symptoms. Anti-fungal creams or shampoos prescribed by a dermatologist can help treat it. Keeping the area clean and dry is also important.

Hi Prashant. Fungal infection of toe nail is a common in people who are in professions where there feet remain moist or have to wear shoes for long period of time. You need to keep your feet dry. Change socks twice a day. Use powder on feet before putting on socks.

For the fungal infection already there You need a long course of around 6 months of antifungal ointment. As u are having too much pain there may be superinfection by a bacteria. You would also need to use a topical antibiotic ointment for 7-10 days.

What is the best treatment for vitiligo? Benifit between Pototherapy or oral medication for vitiligo treatment

Female | 27

Vitiligo makes your skin lose color in patches. Cells that produce pigment stop functioning, leading to white spots. Treatment choices are phototherapy and medicines. Phototherapy uses light to restore pigmentation. Oral medications help regain skin color. A dermatologist can recommend treatment after assessing your condition. Phototherapy and medication are effective options. Discuss with your doctor to choose the right approach.
