It could be because of infection. This may be caused by an ingrown hair, an infected piercing or a skin condition etc. It would always be advisable to seek a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment option.

My face turns red There are small pimples on the face and now there are dark spots on the skin, tell me the solution to reduce it
Male | 29
To treat acne and its related dark spots, wash your face twice daily using a mild soap; apply an oil-free moisturizer and avoid pricking or scratching at any pimples. Over-the-counter products containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid would be effective too if used consistently for about twelve weeks. If none of these measures work for you, you can see a dermatologist who will give you more instructions based on your specific needs.

Can hair loss at crown be treated effectively?
Male | 29
Hair loss in the crown area, often called a bald spot, is usually hereditary. Yes, it runs in the family! Other factors like stress, poor diet, and certain illnesses can also contribute. DHT blockers like Propecia (finasteride) and minoxidil (Rogaine) may slow hair loss in men. It's always best to consult a dermatologist for advice.

I am having a fissured tongue and fissures in some parts of my cheeks too . I used plain yogurt for 3-4 days and the fissures were almost nil but after a week it seems like the fissures are back . It is getting hard to eat food and even my stomach feels upset.
Male | 43
You are going through a medical condition termed oral fissures, that appear on your tongue and inside your mouth. These cracks could be caused by various things such as dry mouth, infections, or lack of proper diet. Eating plain yogurt might have temporarily stopped them from appearing, but not to bring them back, make sure you drink water, eat soft food, and don't eat spicy or acidic foods. If the fissures still appear, visit a dentist/dermatologist for the necessary checks.

Vitiligo surgery is possible
Male | 25
Vitiligo is a kind of skin disorder where some areas of the skin get depigmented. It affects the aesthetics but does not bring any pain or sickness. The primary cause is still unclear, but one suspicion could be that the immune system attacks the pigment cells. Surgery is an option to help with color restoration, but it is not a solution to the problem. A thorough examination by a dermatologist is necessary to determine if surgery can be the best solution for you.

I have private area itching and white patches small bumps ..I using candid b but no result
Male | 29
You may have a yeast infection known as candidiasis. This could cause itching, white patches, and small bumps in private areas. The candid B cream you are using may not be strong enough; try clotrimazole antifungal cream instead. Keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose clothes. Avoid using scented products down there as they can make it worse. If these signs do not improve, seek advice from a dermatologist.

Peeling skin accompanied by white spots might be a sign of numerous abnormalities of the skin. The dermatologist will do the diagnosis correctly and advise on a suitable treatment.

I am 22 year old woman l was using skin lite cream for past few months and now my face got burned and my face has two colours how to get rid of this problem
Female | 22
Skin irritation and pigmentation changes could be causing the two different colors. To solve this, stop using the cream right away and use a mild moisturizer instead. Also, always apply sunscreen before going out into the sun each morning or afternoon. If it doesn’t help, see a dermatologist for more advice.

I have lost half of my hair (majorly from middle and side of my head) in one year and my skin has became loose with wrinkles and I am only 24. What are the causes and remedies
Male | 24
If you are loosing hair at 24 years, that is most probably due to pattern hair loss or androgenetic alopecia which requires topical and oral medications. If medications are used within time, this will result in stopping the further hair loss and reversal of the hair loss as well. Said that proper diagnosis is mandatory before moving any further and a proper dermatology consultation is required for diagnosis and proper management

Suffering from acne /pimpleblackhead problem from last 4 year
Female | 17
The prime reason for this is mostly the excess oil production on your skin. Stress, hormonal changes, and the fact that you don't clean your face properly can worsen it. To boost your skin, follow these suggestions: wash your face often with a mild cleanser, keep your hands off your face, and eat a balanced diet.

Remove acne marks bast products
Male | 32
Acne marks can be treated using treatment options that are recommended by a dermatologist in the context of the condition’s extent. I warn against OTC products, which are rarely tailored to your specific skin type and may, therefore, exacerbate the condition.

Assalamualaikum Doctor I am facing hair fall at a very young age and also there are holes in my face. So, kindly can you suggest me some medicine.
Male | 16
I understand your concerns about experiencing hair loss and facial blemishes at a young age. These issues can arise from various factors such as stress, hormonal changes, or nutritional deficiencies. It's crucial to identify the underlying cause. I recommend maintaining a balanced diet rich in vitamins, particularly biotin and zinc, and staying hydrated. Additionally, topical treatments and specific supplements may help. However, consulting a dermatologist is essential for a personalized evaluation and tailored treatment plan.

Is psoriasis curable .how long does it take to cure . What are it’s symptoms . Which medicines can cure it.what are causes of psoriasis.is it infectious
Male | 26
Psoriasis is a skin condition that can't be cured but can be managed well. It causes red, scaly skin patches. These are often itchy or painful. Its exact cause is unknown. But it's thought to be linked to the immune system. Some medicines help control its symptoms. Like creams for the skin or pills taken by mouth. Psoriasis isn't contagious. You can't catch it from others. Working with a dermatologist is key. They'll help you find the treatment plan.

My left hand wrist sweats a lot even if it is freezing cold outside
Male | 22
Excessive perspiration in one area, like your wrist, can occur due to various reasons, including anxiety, hormonal changes, or a condition called hyperhidrosis. This phenomenon may happen even in cooler temperatures. Staying calm and managing stress can help alleviate symptoms. Keeping the area dry with moisture-wicking products can also be beneficial. If this issue persists or affects your daily life, I encourage you to seek advice from a dermatologist. They can provide tailored advice and potential treatments to help you feel more comfortable.

Red spots on private parts has yellow on them
Male | 23
Red spots with yellowing on sensitive areas may indicate an infection or irritation, such as folliculitis or a yeast infection. These symptoms can arise from various factors, including friction, poor hygiene, or skin conditions. To help soothe the area, maintain good hygiene and avoid irritants. Over-the-counter creams may offer relief, but it is essential to monitor the condition. If these signs persist or worsen, I strongly recommend consulting a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

I'm 18 years old Male I have ringworm for long time I have used some many medicine but my pain haven't got relief what should I do
Male | 18
The main issue is that your skin manifests red, scaly, and itchy areas caused by a skin rash caused by a fungal infection known as ringworm. It's a little tricky but can be treated with regular oral antifungal therapy. Be certain to make sure that the injured place is clean and quite dry. You may also take a prescription antifungal cream or medicine from a dermatologist to help it go away completely. The treatment might take some time so be patient and consistent.
