Answered on 1st Aug '24
Vitiligo under 5 in kids is a skin disease that is characterized by the appearance of white patches. This happens when skin cells do not produce color anymore. For toddlers, doctors mostly recommend allopathy. Sometimes, these treatments can include light therapy or medication. There are some focal vitiligo above the lips that can be treated with these methods also. It is the dermatologist who knows the proper procedure best.

The best treatment for vitiligo in children below 5 years old would depend on the severity of the condition. Generally, topical corticosteroids are the most commonly used treatment for vitiligo in children, and they are used in combination with other treatments like phototherapy, topical calcineurin inhibitors, and systemic immunomodulators. For focal vitiligo above the lips, the treatment of choice is usually topical corticosteroids. Additionally, topical immunomodulators and phototherapy can be used in combination with topical corticosteroids to improve the effectiveness of the treatment. Homeopathy, ayurveda, and other alternative treatments can be used in conjunction with conventional treatments, but should be discussed with a doctor before starting.

I have a pimple on my lower side of penis, it is there from last 2 months, but from last 3 days it started paining and swelling ( white pus ). Is it normal or I need serious medication. Please help me
Male | 20
It's not normal to have a pimple on the penis for 2 months, especially if it's now painful and swollen with white pus. It might be an infection. Keep the area clean and dry. Avoid picking or squeezing it. Using water that has been warmed or a warm compress can help in soothing it. If you have a condition that doesn't get better or gets worse, it's better to see a dermatologist.

Pimple on anus giving pain
Male | 30
This may occur because of a swollen hair follicle or clogged gland; at times, it could indicate infection. If within some days the condition does not improve along with the bump becoming painful, then visit a dermatologist. Also, ensure to keep the place tidy while putting on loose clothes for comfort.

Painless lumps in neck. Moveable, been there a while
Female | 16
If the lumps move around easily, they're likely harmless. These lumps might be caused by swollen glands, cysts, or fatty tissue. If there are no changes or issues, just keep an eye on them. However, if they start getting bigger, it's important to see a doctor.

It is critical to have any swelling on the pubic region reviewed by a dermatologist if ever sighted. Without looking at the swelling, it is impossible to know what it can be.

Hello Doctor, Myself Anjali. I am 25.5 yrs old. I am having severe itching in my private part whenever i go outside in sun.
Female | Anjali
It seems you are facing a heat rash which is a common condition. Your skin gets too hot due to the sun and it can make your skin red, itchy, and throbbing. After a time, you should avoid wearing clothes that are too tight. Make sure to wear cool, loose-fitting clothes. Moreover, always keep below clean and dry when there is a chance of heat rash. Calamine lotion can also be a good option to use to relieve the burning skin. Drinking enough water is important.

Acne scarring may be frustrating for people, but a wide range of treatments exists to diminish their visibility. Consulting a dermatologist who will evaluate your skin and suggest the right treatment based on the scarring severity is essential. A dermatologist can guide you in using treatments such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion and lasers to remove the scars.

last month maine titness injection liya. ab fir se cut lag gaya ..kya mujhe fir titness injection lena chahie ..
Male | 36
Cuts can happen due to accidental injury or poor skills in injection administration. Just cleanse it with soap and water and then put an antiseptic cream on the minor cuts (non-deep cuts and the skin's surface). If it's deep or you notice infection symptoms such as redness, swelling, or pus, the best thing is to visit a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and treatment.

Ringworm ho rkha hai 1 yr se thik nhi ho raha tablet bhi bahut kha chuka hu itracenzole or fluconazole or cream bhi laga liya fark hota pr fir se ho jata h please tell me best treatment for my disease
Male | 25
A stubborn fungal infection seems troublesome. Ringworm triggers red, itchy, scaly skin patches. Defeating it proves difficult sometimes. One way: antifungal meds like Terbinafine or Clotrimazole, used consistently over weeks. Keep affected areas clean and dry. Don't share personal items. With persisting infection, dermatologists can suggest other treatments.

I am 21 can i eligible for hair transplant?
Male | 21
One of the factors that influence eligibility for a hair transplant includes age. Although there is no strict age limit, the stability of your hair loss pattern should be considered. Typically, hair transplants will be recommended for individuals whose menu of baldness is stabilizing around their late 20’s or older; this gives them a better sense about what the future patterns would look like. Furthermore, overall health, availability of donor hairs and rational expectations surrender to a decision on eligibility.

Premature white hair at the age of 21
Female | 21
Premature whitening of hair at 21 is not uncommon. Stress, genetics, or certain medical conditions can contribute to this. If you notice this change, try to reduce stress and follow a nutritious diet. Using protective hair products can also help. However, it's a good idea to consult a dermatologist to rule out any underlying health issues.

Hi sir im pooja kumavt. Muje pimple bahot ho rahe hai ja nahi rahe
Female | 19
Pimples are tiny bumps on the skin from blocked pores, too much oil, germs, or hormone shifts. Blackheads and whiteheads often come too. To avoid pimples, wash your face regularly with gentle soap, and don't touch often. Use non-clogging lotions and makeup. If it doesn't improve, see a dermatologist.

Montelukast sodium and fexofenadine hydrochloride is this tablet for skin allergy
Female | 45
Yes, Montelukast sodium and fexofenadine hydrochloride are two of the medications used to cure skin allergies. Skin allergy patients usually get symptoms like itching, redness, and rashes. They perform this role by impeding the action of those substances on the parasympathetic nervous system. Consult an allergist before starting these medications for your skin allergies.

I did surgery on Keloid on my back but the wound is not healing fast. Please what do should I do to stop the keloid from growing back again.
Male | 43
A keloid is when the skin grows too much after an injury has healed. They may feel itchy or painful. You could use silicone sheets or gel over the wound to stop it from growing back. Additionally, ask your physician about corticosteroid injections which can help flatten the keloid.

What to do to get rid of blackheads on the face. And to brighten the face
Male | 25
Blackheads are minuscule black spots on your skin. They are a result of oil and dead skin blocking the pores on the skin. To clarify them, gently wash the pores once daily, never neglect the exfoliation part, and the third thing is to apply a non-come-genic moisturizer. Besides you can try using salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide products. Don't forget to wash your face thoroughly and moisturize it.

Mere chest me dard ho raha hai or eyes me dard ho raha hai or chicks me dard hai
Male | 18
You're feeling the blood in your chest, your eyes are aching, and tenderness in your cheek area. In some instances, chest pain can be caused by heart problems. The reason behind the eye pain can be either the strain or infection. The cause of cheek pain may be a sinus problem. Ensure that you take breaks, consume water, and do not rub your eyes. If the pain persists, medical assistance should be sought to determine the exact cause and receive the appropriate treatment.

i suffer from mouth ulcers at the moment and it happens frequently after every 13 to 15 days ,why is that ?and what to do about it, what are the remedies for it, also at times i get more than 1+ ulcers at the same time this time i had three where one healed and two are yet to,but one is also most which is in the cheeks skin but the one i have at the moment i.e on the tongue is very deep and healing very slow
Male | 20
Stress is a common cause of these types of sores, but they can also be brought on by accidentally biting your mouth or eating certain foods. To keep them from forming, it is important to try and reduce stress as much as possible while staying away from anything spicy or acidic that may irritate the area more. Good oral hygiene will help prevent future outbreaks. Over-the-counter gels are available at most stores, which will numb the pain temporarily and speed up healing times. If none of this works or if they won’t seem to go away then please see a dermatologist/dentist for further assistance.

I am having severe hairfall. I have tried homeopathy and ashwagandha, but no results. What should I do??
Female | 23
Homeopathy may work for some people, but not necessarily everyone.
I will advice you to get your Trichoscpic examination done which will help in getting to the root cause of your problem. Persistent hair fall is a multifactorial condition which requires scalp lotions, some nutritional supplementation and some appropriate shampoos along with therapies.

Sclerotherapy karne se gaat ho gayi hei
Male | 20
At first, the treated area might get a small bump or red spot, which is normal and could be a minor skin reaction. It may feel a bit tender or itchy for a few days. Using a cool compress can help ease the discomfort. If you experience sudden pain, notice the redness spreading, or feel the area getting hotter than the skin around it, call your dermatologist.
