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.

 A big lump with a tiny pale spot on your bottom lip could happen for differe­nt causes. Sometimes, it could be­ a harmless sore, a pimple, or an alle­rgic response. Howeve­r, if it does not vanish or keeps growing, it is be­st to have a health specialist look just to be­ safe. .

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.

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 | 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.

I'm 39 from Nigeria. I have a black, cone-like lump on the upper left side of my belly. It started as small bump some years back but with time developed to 2cm in diameter. It's very hard. I feel pain around it each time I'm nervous and itchy sometimes. I have had scan conducted but didn't reveal exactly what it's.. it suggested that Stony bump appears like degenerating Lipoma. .

Male | 39

This hard mass might be a lipoma, which is usually harmless and consists of fat cells. These growths mainly develop under the skin and grow slowly over time. Although it is good that you have had a scan, sometimes further tests are necessary for conclusive results. However, if it is very painful or bothers you a lot, consider consulting with a surgeon who may recommend its removal.
