Acne is a consequence of the body's protective work against infection. Acne can be a downer to the shape or softness of your skin. There are some types: atrophic (depressed) and hypertrophic (raised) scars being the major ones. Several treatment options are available, such as topical treatments, chemical peels, microneedling, or laser therapy, all with your skin and the concerns thereof in mind. A dermatologist can diagnose your medical condition and tell you the best method for smoother skin.

I have white patch on my lips
Female | 28
Different factors can cause white marks on the lips. One of the main reasons is a fungal infection named oral thrush. This can happen if the immune system is not strong enough. Besides, it might be pathological damage from bites. To get to this point, it is necessary to do that. If the situation does not get any better, the pain becomes unbearable, and a meeting with the dermatologist is probably inevitable to get a diagnosis and cure the disease.

Female | 18
Skin can get itchy and small bumps may appear. This could be eczema. A cold might trigger these issues. The cough and blood smell from your throat relate to being sick. Moisturize skin to ease itching and bumps. Don't scratch. Drink lots of fluids. If problems persist, visit a dermatologist. They can diagnose your condition and develop a treatment plan.

Female | 22
Hair fall can often occur due to changing shampoos or using harsh products. This indicates your scalp might be sensitive now. To combat this, try a gentle shampoo without harsh chemicals. Strengthening your scalp and reducing hair fall requires patience. Eating a vitamin-rich, healthy diet supporting hair health is crucial.

I have a skin fungal infection what should I do
Male | 30
This fungi become the ones that colonize on the skin and grow. You may notice red or dry flaky skin due to the infection. People who suffer from this type of problem are usually very itchy. One way to solve that is to apply antifungal creams which your pharmacist can assist you in recommending. It is important to use the area clean and dry. Apart from the creams, if it doesn't become cured, visit a dermatologist.

Red marks in the body, age is 25 years old marks is spreading day by day from back to front
Male | 25
This might be something called erythema migrans. This is when a rash that is red and gets bigger appears. It’s usually caused by a tick bite with bacteria in it. This rash is a sign of Lyme disease. You should go and see a dermatologist so they can tell you what to do about it and give you some drugs for it. If you leave it alone, Lyme disease can become really serious.

Male | 24
Don’t worry, lots of people get acne. Signs of acne include red spots, blackheads, and whiteheads on your face. Things that might cause it are hormones, greasy skin, and bacteria. You can try washing your face gently twice a day with a soapless cleanser, not touching zits, and using only oil-free products. If this bothers you then maybe talk to a dermatologist.

I’m an 18 year old female, and last week on Friday/Saturday I started coming up in raised itchy bumps, it looks like a rash, but we presumed it was psorisis due to me having occasional ecsma so I’ve been using aquous cream etc but unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be going is is spreading, so we think it may be a rash/allergic reaction now
Female | 18
You have a rash that is itchy and spreading to me. An allergic reaction or skin irritation might be the reason behind this. It's possible that what you touched earlier was triggering it. You should use anti-itch cream and stop scratching. Shouldn't it get better, a dermatologist will be better to talk to as they provide such services.

Sir, I am 23 year old. I don't have beard. I barely have any hair under my chin. Please help me with my beard growth.
Male | 23
The dermatologist will first need your family history and trichoscopy examination for the evidence of vellus hairs. Then they might begin their treatment with minoxidil, micro-needling and Growth factor injections. If no improvement is seen however, then they will suggest hair transplant.

About Hair and beard growth
Male | 19
Hair and beard development can differ to a great extent among people due to factors such as genetics, hormonal levels, and nutritional health. The most common concerns may consist of slow growth, patchiness, or thinning. A well-balanced diet rich in vitamins, such as biotin and zinc, may have the potential to boost hair growth. Regular combing may also activate follicles. If your case is serious or you constantly feel discomfort, the best decision is to visit a dermatologist.

I am suffering from ringworm from last 4 months I have used so many creame but not use, can please suggest powerful treatment for ringworm for short duration
Male | 18
Ringworm is persistent and tough to treat. It is a fungal infection causing circular, red, itchy patches on the skin. This fungus thrives in warm, damp environments. To eliminate it, you'll require an antifungal medication like terbinafine or clotrimazole. Keep the affected area clean and dry. Consistent use of the medication for two weeks should help resolve it.

I'm 30. I noticed a pale reddish skin at the cap of my penis. There is no inching or pain but it keeps drying and peeling off.
Male | 30
You may have a condition known as balanitis. When the skin on the tip of the penis becomes irritated, this can occur. It can be caused by poor hygiene, fungal infections or allergies. Even if it doesn’t hurt, keep the area clean and dry. Using a mild cream may also help with the peeling skin. If it doesn’t improve, it’s best to see a dermatologist.

I m 20 year old student. My skin type is oily nd I tried many skincare products like niacinamide dot and key and derma hyluronic serum. Which made my skin worse. Now I am having acne prone skin with nodules and scars, now i m just using nothing but a medimix soap. What should i do now ??
Female | 20
Nodules are deep, painful bumps under the skin. Oily skin can make acne worse. Some of the products may not fit your skin. Using only soap is alright but acne won't be treated by it. Use a mild cleanser and non-acne-causing moisturizer. Then, visit a dermatologist for alternatives consisting of prescribed products or treatments.

My pierced ear is infected
Female | 22
It sounds like your ear might be experiencing an infection, which can happen due to various factors, including bacteria from improper cleaning or irritation from the jewelry. Common signs include redness, swelling, warmth, and discharge. To aid healing, gently clean the area with mild soap and warm water, and avoid touching or changing the jewelry frequently. Applying a warm compress can also help reduce discomfort. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, please consult dermatologist for professional evaluation and treatment.

Hi, Im 23 years old, been taking treatments for hyperpigmentation from various doctors and recently a doctor suggested q switch laser of 4 sittings, I got the first N I personally feel tat my face n neck have gone one shade darker thsn before, now confused if I shd take the remaining sittings or not, Please clarify
Female | 23
The skin appears darker or more pigmented usually after the first session of Q-switch laser treatment for hyperpigmentation. The treatment causes a temporary inflammation in the skin, which increases melanin production and darkens of the skin.
Talk to your dermatalogist as they can adjust the treatment parameters or suggest alternative treatment options based on your skin type and concerns.

Ringworm is a skin disease that is caused by a fungus. In this way, the skin can turn red, be itchy, and feel suffering as a result of its injury. You can use the antifungal creams sold at the pharmacy to treat the ringworm. Make sure to clean and dry the area. Personal items like towels should not be shared. If it doesn't get better, you should consider getting help from a dermatologist.

Female | 35
Your period lasting an entire month is abnormal. Swollen feet, painful sores on the skin, and lumps on legs are worrisome signs. These symptoms may indicate hormonal imbalance or infection. It is crucial to consult a gynecologist promptly for examination and treatment. Neglecting these issues could lead to complications. An accurate diagnosis is essential to address the underlying cause effectively.

Aapko jo takleef mehsoos ho rahi hai, usme itching, redness, ya swelling shamil ho sakti hai. Ye kuch causes, jaise fungal infections, allergies, ya bacterial issues ki wajah se ho sakti hai. Sabse pehle, affected area ko saaf aur dry rakhna zaroori hai. Over-the-counter antifungal creams ya antihistamines madadgar ho sakte hain, lekin agar symptoms barh rahe hain ya nahi ja rahe, toh dermatologist se milna behtar rahega. Professional advice lena bahut zaroori hai, taaki sahi ilaaj mil sake.

I am 21 year old boy suffering from small white bumps in my penis foreskin and it was very difficult to open it.so I want to cure it.
Male | 21
This situation seems consistent with the symptoms of smegma. Smegma, with oil and dead skin cells, builds up in the creases of the skin, such as the foreskin of the penis. This leads to dermal white dots that are hard to move back and forth under the skin. Cleaning the area daily with chat water to take care of the white bumps. You should avoid rough soap or excessive force when scrubbing the area. If you still can't find a solution, you should go to a dermatologist.
