Answered on 30th Jan '25
The appearance of dark vertical lines on your nails can be due to several factors, including benign conditions such as pigment changes or more serious concerns like fungal infections or discoloration associated with underlying health issues. It's essential to observe any additional symptoms, like pain or changes in nail thickness. I recommend keeping your nails clean and moisturized and avoiding harsh chemicals. However, the best course of action is to schedule a visit with a dermatologist. They can evaluate your situation properly and provide tailored advice.

Fungal infection hua hai baat karna hai
Male | 23
Fungal infections may create symptoms such as itching, redness, as well as irritation of the skin or even mucous membranes. They are usually the result of warm and humid environments or weakened immune systems. Keeping the affected areas clean and dry is crucial to reduce the discomfort. The absence of over-the-counter antifungal creams may help, but seeing a dermatologist is a good decision for personalized advice and treatment options.

My son who is 16 years old and now witnessing acnes on the face. We, as parents, little sceptical about taking some high dose of medicine so need your help as want to consult someone who deals with children. Thank you
Male | 16
It is a consequence of the closure of the openings in the skin due to the accumulation of sebum and dead skin cells. This will cause pimples on the face more so during the teenage years. Gently cleansing the face with a non-irritating cleanser twice a day. Do not squeeze or prick. If severe acne is the case, you should consult a dermatologist for appropriate treatments.

I am 18 years old teenager and I want to remove tanning from my whole body and I also want to reduce the melanin secretion in my body ..so please prefer me best kojic acid soap for daily use
Male | 18
Tanning is produced by the skin when it absorbs more sunlight. This is the process that involves melanin, a protein that protects the skin. To decrease tanning and melanin, try a kojic acid soap. This soap can decrease the melanin in your skin and thus brighten your skin's color. For best results, use it daily.

I have taken vaccine for dog scratch D0 and D3 in May 6th 2024 andMay 9 th 2024,today my cat scratch my hand again. Should I take the vaccine again.
Female | 21
If your cat has scratched you recently, you must know that the dog scratch vaccine does not prevent scratches from cats or other animals. You received the dog scratch vaccine in May but it will not protect you from cat scratches. If you see any scratch site symptoms, redness, swelling, or warmth, especially if it worsens, go to a dermatologist. They may suggest an alternative treatment plan based on your particular situation.

I’m having underarm problems, they’re dark and I want laser treatment for it.
Female | 21
Laser treatment for dark underarms typically involves the use of laser technology to target and break down excess pigmentation in the skin. The process is known as laser skin lightening or laser skin rejuvenation. During the procedure, the laser emits light that is absorbed by the melanin in the skin, helping to reduce pigmentation and promote a more even skin tone. Multiple sessions may be required for optimal results. It's crucial to consult with a dermatologist or a qualified skincare professional to assess your specific needs, skin type, and eligibility for the treatment.

Every time I shave or use other hair removal techniques, I get strawberry legs. I don't want to consider laser hair removal. Is there any way I can get rid of the strawberry legs?
Female | 19
If you have strawberry legs after hair removal technique or shaving your hair and specially when you don't want to go for laser hair removal then cleaning your hairs/legs with betadine or savlon before shaving and after shaving apply after-shave, betadine or savlon and then applying anti-inflammatory cream containing mild steroids and antibiotic might help to reduce the chances of strawberry legs. If the problem persists then please visit dermatologist.

Sir, I want to ask about peeling oil. Does extra strong yellow peeling oil really peel the skin???
Female | 24
This product is effective in removing the skin, yet it is extremely important to be considerate. Using strong peeling oils can cause redness, burning, and even damage to the skin. These products work by peeling off the top layer of the skin, which tends to improve skin appearance, but their wrong application can cause great trouble to the user. The best way is to consult a dermatologist before using those products to prevent side effects.

I have a lump between 1-2 inches below my left ear, where my jawline meets my neck. Is this serious, or likely just a lipid deposit?
Male | 17
You have a lump below your left ear where your jaw meets your neck. This could be a swollen lymph node, often due to infections, or a lipoma, which is a harmless fatty lump. If it's not painful or growing quickly, it's usually not a serious issue. However, it's best to see a dermatologist to rule out any problems.

This could be a rash, eczema, or an infection. Be careful of any redness, itching, or changes in your baby's skin. To keep your baby safe, wash their skin with mild soap and water. If you see any new symptoms, it's better to talk to a dermatologist to get the correct treatment.

Actually I switched shampoo so I'm facing alot of hairfall I stopped using that shampoo but still there's no difference please help me with this
Female | 22
Different factors like allergies or harsh ingredients might cause hair loss. Your scalp needs time to recover. For now, switch back to your old shampoo. Use a gentle conditioner too. Natural oils like coconut or almond can nourish hair and scalp. Be gentle when brushing or styling to avoid damage. If hair keeps falling out for weeks, consult a dermatologist.

A small swelling near rectum which seems to be growing a bit. Recently it feels itchy too while walking.
Male | 44
You might be dealing with a hemorrhoid. These are small lumps that form near your rectum and can sometimes get bigger with time. They may also itch or hurt especially when you walk around a lot. Hemorrhoids occur as a result of straining during bowel movements or sitting on the toilet for too long. Eating more fiber, drinking plenty of water, and using creams for relief could help. See a dermatologist if none of this works.

I'm 22 years old male. I have some fungal infections in my hip and my leg in almost 18+ months. I have some skin care creams but not cure
Male | 22
A persistent fungal infection is quite often the cause of discomfort, it may be accompanied by itching, redness and flaking of the skin. Among the very common causes are exposure to moisture, hot conditions, and touching surfaces that are infected with fungus. Sometimes, it is not enough to merely find an over-the-counter cream that gives you temporary relief; it can well be improved, but sometimes a total solution is still impossible. My choice is the use of complex treatments that may be also over the counter, for example, antifungal drugs given on doctor’s recommendation along with making sure cleanliness and the affected areas are kept dry. A visit to the doctor often is the time for specific ways of dealing with the situation and also for quicker management of the condition. You are not alone in it. If you are still hesitating, remember that professional help can actually solve your problems very brilliantly.
