Answered on 11th Sept '24

Parotitis, a swollen saliva gland, strike­s suddenly. The gland blocks, causing enlarge­ment, soreness, and re­ddening. In this state, fluids, heat, and profe­ssional assessment provide re­lief. Hydrating abundantly eases discomfort. Applying warmth soothe­s inflammation. Visit a dermatologist or a dentist for treatment.

I am 27 year old living in ranchi kanke road , having serious problem of dandruff hairfall and my hair color is changing into white even some part of beard as well. Kindly help me with the treatment.

Male | 27

Dandruff in the scalp is due to excess sebum (natural oil) production along with increased activity of a fungus called Malassezia in the scalp. Antifungal shampoos containing Ketoconazole, Ciclopirox, selenium sulphide can help treat the dandruff. If it is severe, oral antifungals are also prescribed for a short duration. Salicylic acid, coal tar shampoos are also prescribed in case of excess flakiness of scalp. Hair fall may be due to dandruff, nutritional deficiencies, stress or due to genetic factors. It is recommended to visit a dermatologist who can diagnose the cause of hairfall and may suggest treatment accordingly. Trichoscopy of the scalp may help in understanding the nature of the scalp and condition. Nutritional supplements, Capixyl containing serum, Minoxidil solution, oral supplements containing vitamin and minerals are prescribed by the dermatologist to treat the hair loss. Change in hair colour in beard and scalp may be due to nutritional deficiencies or strong hair colours or genetic causes. Dermatologist’s help may be needed to treat the same. Calcium pantothenate containing supplements may help slow down the greying and sometimes restore the colour of hair.

Hello. Roughly one month ago I purchased a home wart removal kit to remove what appeared to be a benign wart on the back of my knee. The nozzle on this device broke during use, spraying an area roughly two inches in diameter on my skin with dimethyl ether. This caused a small superficial frostbite/burn, but didn't take care of the wart so I used another kit afterwards which used a swab rather than a nozzle. After using both of these, the area blistered. This blister quickly popped and fell off on its own after just a day, leaving an area of incredibly raw and bloody skin. I applied neosporin to this area regularly and kept it clean allowing it to heal. It's been a month now and while this area isn't entirely healed, it has protective skin on it now. My issue here is the area has a blotchy dark coloration now, looking almost like bruising. This seems odd to me given that it's been a month now, should I be worried about this coloration? There is no pain at the site, though the skin there is quite thin and rough.

Its natural to experience discoloration in skin especially after a blister or wound has occurred. color changes during the healing process. It could be due to hyperpigmentation which is the increased production of melanin in that area. This can result in a bruise-like appearance.

Best sunscreen for oily skin and acne prone skin for teenagers girls

Female | 16

Taking care­ of oily, acne-prone skin is a priority for many tee­nage girls. Sunscreen plays a vital role­ in skin protection. Choose oil-free­ and non-comedogenic sunscree­ns. These won't clog pores or make­ your skin greasy. Look for zinc oxide or titanium dioxide ingre­dients. They are ge­ntle. Sunscreen pre­vents skin damage and premature­ aging. Establish a daily sunscreen habit for healthy skin.

Hii iam girl of 25 yr age suffering acne from 11 yrs from 3 yr suffering from cystic acne Iam planning to take Accutane for 6 months I want advice from dr should I take it or not my weight is 45

Female | 25

You should consult with a dermatologist regarding Accutane for cystic acne. Given your prolonged struggle with acne and its severity, Accutane may be a viable option. However, it's crucial to consider potential side effects and weigh them against the benefits. Your dermatologist can provide personalized guidance based on your medical history and current health status.

Needs treatment for fine lines,dullness, skin tightening,under eye bumps and Circle,open pores

Female | 26

The fine lines and dullness can occur due to the aging process and sun exposure. The under-eye bumps may be milia or small cysts. Dark circles can be caused by lack of sleep or genetics. Open pores are usually associated with oily skin. You can use gentle exfoliants, retinol creams, eye creams, and skin-tightening serums to help these issues.

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.

I am having problem with my piercing the hole on the top of the skin is closed but the earing is stuck from behind what to do

Female | 20

Your piercing might cause some trouble. Sometimes, the hole on top of your skin may close up while the earring remains stuck from behind. This can happen when the skin wraps around the back of the earring. You might experience pain, redness, or swelling. To solve this, you can gently try pushing the earring out from the back or seek help from a professional piercer. Never force it out, as that can cause more harm.

Hello, I am 24 years old, I actually wanted to know if dermaplaning is good for my face and is their any side effects after doing that. Also I wanted to know the cost of dermaplane for my face. Thankyou!

Female | 24

Dermaplaning is helpful in decreasing wrinkles, acne and fine lines. But to know whether you are eligible or not for it, you need to visit a dermatologist. Based on your skin type and condition, the doctor will tell whether dermaplaning is suitable for you or not. And talking about the cost, it depends on the area that needs treatment and it also depends on the doctor and the clinic.

i have vein type structure on my penis glans from 3 months. what's that?

Male | 22

If you notice some vein-like structures on your penis glans, those are likely just normal blood vessels that have become more visible. You may notice this more during arousal. Usually, it’s not anything to worry about and doesn’t need treatment. However, if they are causing you pain or discomfort, or if they have appeared suddenly, it would be best for you to see a doctor so they can be evaluated further.
