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.

I have been have an itching sensation whenever i bath on my penis and sometimes when i take a pee, what can this be, recently there were red spots , small ones on the penis head but after a day they just disappeared , what can this be and any medication for it
Male | 24
You’ve got the symptoms of a disease called balanitis. This may be associated with symptoms such as nausea, red spots, and pain when urinating. Balanitis can often be due to a lack of proper hygiene, an allergy to soaps or laundry detergents, or a yeast or bacterial infection. As one of the options to get rid of the itching and irritation, the area should be softly washed with warm water and mild soap. Steer clear of the harsh chemicals and tight clothing. The symptoms are still there, see a dermatologist for more tests and treatment.

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.

A blood blister inside the ear may be present. Typically caused by small injuries or rubbing. They can occur within the ear too. Often, they heal independently over time. It's positive it's not overly bothersome. Refrain from picking at it. However, if worsening or persisting, consult a dermatologist.

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.

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.

Female | 18
Yeast infection or allergic reaction can be the reason for small rashes and swelling inside your vaginal lips. If the permethrin cream wasn't effective, you might need to try a different treatment such as an antifungal cream or oral medication. Make it a point to keep it clean and dry. Drinking enough water can also help. If the symptoms don't go away, see your dermatologist again.

I have an allergy. Now the blisters have appeared and there is itching associated with it.
Male | 19
You seem to have a skin allergy. When something irritates the body, allergies make blisters and itching happens. They're the body's defense against things it rejects. To feel better, try a cold pack or a mild lotion. But see a dermatologist if symptoms persist.

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 | 72
Itching all over the body with rashes, dark patches, and pigmentation could be due to several reasons including allergies, skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis, and hormonal imbalances. I see you have used drugs but sometimes it is necessary for one to get a clear understanding for effective treatment. Therefore, I would advise that she gets referred to an expert such as an allergist or dermatologist who will conduct more tests maybe even skin biopsies or blood works so that they can be able to identify the cause exactly. After which they can then give her specific treatments meant for that condition which will help reduce the signs.
