Purple color at the cuticle of nails can be caused by a number of reasons, and it would always help to seek advice from a dermatologist for an in-depth assessment. Purple nails close to the cuticle could be a result of trauma or injury on nail bed, like banging fingers and its related areas. Circulatory problems, pre-existing medical conditions or certain drugs might be responsible for discolored nails. It may also be associated with inadequate oxygenation or blood supply to the nail matrix. Dermatologist will be able to provide an accurate diagnosis and suggest suitable treatment depending on the circumstances.

My legs skin irritation little bit high. It looks like a fungle or ring worm infection

Male | 18

You may have a skin infection caused by a fungus. This is something that can occur in the body as a result of fungi growing in humid and warm areas such as your groin. It may appear to you as if you are suffering from ringworms those red itchy spots you have on your skin. You may also experience a variety of sensations like burning or stinging. For this, apply antifungal cream which you can easily find in a pharmacy. First clean and dry the area to avoid further complications and help it heal.

Ate small piece of crab. Suddenly she got itching in her throat, eyes got swollen. Her age is 64

Female | 64

She might be allergic to crabs. Sometimes, our bodies come back to certain foods in the wrong way. Symptoms can be throat itching and eye swelling. In this case, she must not eat crab and other shellfish. In case of severe symptoms, she should go to the hospital immediately. Allergies can be life-threatening, so it's necessary to exercise caution.

I have a rash on my armpits and on both but it mainly itches on my left armpit and I’ve tried putting on antibiotics cream and Benadryl cream and it still itches and not getting better I haven’t been putting on deodorant either because of it

Female | 33

It seems to be a fungal infection in your left armpit. I suggest you see a dermatologist to look into the rash, and get a medication accordingly. Deodorant should also be avoided as it might make the situation worse.

I got hurt from a plastic chair and a small piece of my skin came off near my foot..It started bleeding but i didn't notice ..when i saw the wound the blood was already dried up so i cleaned it with water and didn't apply anything on it.. It's been 5 days since the injury and the wound is not healing..i applied some antiseptic cream on it later..it just hurts around that area and some kind of transparent liquid comes out occasionally.. what to do

Male | 19

The transparent liquid you see coming out is likely pus, a sign of infection. Try cleaning the wound daily with mild soap and warm water, then apply an antibiotic ointment. Keep it covered with a bandage to protect it. If it doesn't improve in a couple of days or if you notice increasing redness, swelling, or warmth around the wound, it's best to seek medical help.

I am a 25 year old male and I have a skin condition around my testicles. It has been for over 2 years now. It appears to be a like a patch on the skin around my testicles. I recently got married 3 months ago. About a week ago, my crotch started giving out a pungent smell similar to that of chlorine despite washing it several times a day. Also, I observed small rashes on my scrotum and the skin peels when scratching it. Please I need your help.

Male | 25

You might have a skin condition known as tinea cruris, or jock itch. This is a fungal infection that often affects the groin area. Symptoms include red, itchy patches of skin, a bad smell, and peeling skin. It can be caused by sweating, tight clothing, or poor hygiene. To treat it, it is important to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose clothing, and use antifungal creams.

I m 19 years old female girl.i m suffering from darker skin and become darkspot problem on face area.please suggest me best skin whitening and brightening body treatment and also suggest best treatment for removing darkspot

Female | 19

Darker skin and dark spots can occur from excessive sun exposure, hormonal changes, or skin inflammation. This issue can be solved by the application of skin whitening and brightening treatments which contain substances such as vitamin C, niacinamide, or kojic acid. Also, think about treatments like chemical peels or laser therapy to aid in the removal of dark spots. To ensure your skin's safety, always wear sunscreen to shield it from the sun and other harmful rays.

Female | 22

skin problems such as pimples, blackheads spots and discoloration arises from the numerous causes that includes hormonal changes, stress or habits of skincare. It is recommended to consider visiting a dermatologist in order to find out the effective cause and get personalized recommendations on how this issue should be addressed. Cleaning your face with consistent gentle cleansers and using suitable products for your skin type may help. Further, ensure to eat healthily as much, drink water adequately and also manage stress properly all for better skin care. Pick or squeeze pimples will lead to more severe scarring.
