White patches on your shaft are around sometimes because of a fungal infection called candidiasis or a disorder like lichen planus. These can show up after sex, especially if unprotected. These can be cured by taking medications ordered by a doctor after proper diagnosis.

Psoriasis Do you have the treatment for this disease? The child is in a lot of pain, please help us a little.

Male | 26

Psoriasis is a common disease that causes red, painful, and rough patches on the skin. It happens when the immune system goes out of control and skin cells grow too fast. A dermatologist can prescribe therapy to relieve the skin. After treatment, using creams or lotions helps reduce dryness and itching. Keeping the skin clean and well-moisturized can also help reduce discomfort.

I am burn tomorrow with oil so i am some burn maks in my face so please recommend some medicine so i the maks were invisible

Female | 19

The skin will quickly heal but, in the process, it may develop some marks. The skin appears normal at first but later the burn marks appear. To help the marks fade, you can buy a cream from the pharmacy that contains either vitamin E or aloe vera. They can be of help in the healing process and also, they can make the marks less visible.

Iam 20 years old female. I want to know why I loss upto about 8-10 eyebrows hair daily. Is eyebrow hair falling is normal or not. What should I do to stop it?

Female | 20

Some hair on the eyebrows falls out each day as part of the natural hair growth cycle, which involves transitions through the growth, resting, and slipping phases. Causes such as anxiety, nutrient deficiencies, uneven hormone levels, or too much plucking might cause hair to fall out excessively. In order to foster the development of healthy hair, consider eating a nutrient-rich diet, drinking water, and not using products that can harm your hair such as perming and coloring. If the hair vasculature starts to thin or you get areas, or the hair loss remains, it is best to see a medical professional.

i got a bite from an unknown insect on my hand and there is some pimples and itching in that area . my pt inr is also showing high . what does it mean?

Male | 26

You may have gotten bitten by an insect, which your body doesn't like at all. Sometimes, such bites can result in skin all lumpy and itchy, as you have mentioned. If your PT INR levels are high, it indicates that your blood may take a longer time to clot. You should apply some anti-itch cream on the bite and also visit the physician to do your PT INR check. They could need to adjust your medicine.

It seems like you are facing skin burn. This might be the sign of various disorders like eczema, psoriasis or skin infection. I recommend that you go see a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment plan.

Male | 30

You have a recurrent fungal infection in your lower body. Warm and humid conditions, such as excessive sweating, are the possible causes of fungal infections. Symptoms are characterized by redness, itching, and a rash. To help, ensure the area is dry and clean, wear breathable clothes, and apply antifungal creams. Also, strictly follow the given directions for the cream to notice the improvement.

Female baldness at age of 18 wo v kafi saalon se pehle v hair bhot hi thin the par ab bhot jyada hogay hai ek saal ke andar khatam hi hojayenge aysa lagra h center part pe hora h

Female | 18

Several reasons for female baldness at the age of 18 include hormonal imbalances, stress factors in one’s life, taking certain medicines and underlying medical conditions. A visit to a hair loss dermatologist will help discover the underlying causes of this condition and recommend suitable treatments. Early intervention frequently results in good outcomes.

I'm having dandruff from last 10 years. Tried many Doctors, medicines & home remedies but still having the same problem. Looking for a good medicine to cure this problem.

Male | 26

There are a few products available to help with dandruff. Better to use those that contain selenium sulfide, zinc pyrithione, or ketoconazole. These ingredients are known to help reduce dandruff. Avoid styling products that contain alcohol, as these can dry out and irritate the scalp. Talk to your doctor about any underlying conditions it could be a sign of an infection or other medical condition.
