Patches can appear discolored when a fungus infects facial skin. Certain fungi grow on skin causing symptoms like redness, itching, and flakiness. Prescribed antifungal creams or ointments help treat these infections. Keeping infected areas clean and dry assists effective treatment. Although not severe, fungal infections can leave marks if untreated. Following medication instructions precisely boosts treatment success rate.

Im 16 years old girl. Im suffering from hairfall issues. What should i do?

Female | 16

The incidence of hair fall is rather alarming, particularly in your generation. The most common reasons include tension, hormonal fluctuations, the inadequacy of certain nutrients, and some specific health issues. Observe signs such as general weakness, missing patches, or excessive hair fall. To maintain a healthy scalp, make sure to include a well-balanced diet in the menu that is rich in vitamins and minerals, reduce mental stress to manage stress, and keep up with hair care practices. Besides, it's a good practice to abstain from very tight hairstyles that can lead to hair pulling. In case the trouble is constant or aggravated, I suggest you seek the advice of a dermatologist.

I am 21 year old boy suffering from small white bumps in my penis foreskin and it was very difficult to open it.so I want to cure it.

Male | 21

This situation seems consistent with the symptoms of smegma. Smegma, with oil and dead skin cells, builds up in the creases of the skin, such as the foreskin of the penis. This leads to dermal white dots that are hard to move back and forth under the skin. Cleaning the area daily with chat water to take care of the white bumps. You should avoid rough soap or excessive force when scrubbing the area. If you still can't find a solution, you should go to a dermatologist.

I recommend that you see an urologist promptly for appropriate assessment and diagnosis of the true nature of your condition. Do not use any home treatment since it may worsen the hematoma.
