It sounds like you’re experiencing a combination of acne and rough skin, which can be linked to excess oil production and possibly inflammation. Your skin's reaction to washing may indicate sensitivity. For improved skin health, consider using a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser and a light moisturizer designed for oily skin. Exfoliating once a week can help with texture. Also, managing dandruff with a medicated shampoo may benefit your overall skin clarity. However, I recommend consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice and treatment options tailored to your specific needs.

Pimples appearing on face which is best gel clindamycin phosphate gel with benzoyl peroxide or clindamycin phosphate gel with niacinamide??
Female | 21
Pimples can be annoying, but there are solutions to help. These spots come from blocked pores and germs. A gel with clindamycin phosphate and benzoyl peroxide can kill bacteria and reduce swelling. Alternatively, clindamycin phosphate with niacinamide may be better for redness and irritation. Both options work well, so you should pick the one best for your skin type. Not sure which to try? Start with one, then switch if it doesn't help.

I got many cysts on penis and surrounding again and again. whenever I get Softin tablet it disappears ,but whenever I stop to take Softin, It will appear again.
Male | 29
Sometimes, little fluid-filled bumps form on the penis. These are called penile cysts. Blocked glands may cause them. Softin tablets ease swelling, so stopping them lets cysts return. Don't ignore persistent cysts—a dermatologist should examine them. Proper treatment is crucial. They'll check for any underlying condition triggering these recurring bumps. Cysts aren't dangerous, but proper care matters.

I am 14 years old. I am very upset about my hair falling. Please recommend me
Male | 14
Hair loss among teenagers can be caused by different factors such as stress, bad nutrition, or some medical conditions. Do you detect more hair than usual lying on the pillow or in the shower? Start eating a balanced diet, managing your stress, and being gentle with your hair. If it still happens, visit a dermatologist.

i have a small curved line of scabs on my leg is this scabies doesn’t itch and i dont get irritated at night or after i shower
Male | 19
You have got something called eczema. Eczema can be described as tiny scabs on the skin. One of the most essential precautions you can take is to cleanse and moisturize the area regularly. Don't scratch yourself too much because it can lead to an infection. You can try using a gentle moisturizer to see if it helps. If the scabs don't improve or you see any new symptoms, it's best to go to a dermatologist for further advice.

I am 23 years old and I did a breast surgery on 17th of march 2024 for removal of lump. The wound is yet to heal now. Few days after the surgery i noticed leakages from the stitches so i went back to the doctor then he stitched it again whivh made the healing process very slow. What can I do to heal the opened wound on my right breast? I find it difficult to bathe. I was prescribed ciprotab by the doctor and vitamin c (but I got the coloured ones instead) or should I have been using the white one? I already stopped the ciprotab
Female | 23
To help the wound heal, ensure that you keep it clean and dry, wash the area gently with some mild soap and water then dry. Any rough movements which might disrupt the stitches should be avoided. Consult with Your Doctor on the right type of vitamin C use, usually white because colored ones could have added ingredients. Should there be signs like increased pain, redness, swelling, or pus, then do seek medical Help immediately as this could mean infection.

A rash is a type of skin condition characterized by red, bumpy, or itchy skin. Sometimes, it may be the result of an allergic reaction, irritants, infections, or even certain medical conditions. To treat the rash, maintain a clean and dry area, wear loose clothes, and avoid scratching as much as possible. If the rash persists for a long time or is aggravated, it is advisable to see a dermatologist, to get proper treatment.

Using steroids long years. How to stop. Even i stop this my skin was dull and dark
Female | 20
If you've used steroids frequently, quitting them may make your skin look lifeless and discolored. That's because steroids impact how skin produces pigment. To improve your skin, you'll need medical help to slowly reduce then stop using steroids. Be patient - recovery takes time. Eat well, drink water, and wear sunscreen. See a dermatologist if you're worried about your complexion or have other concerns.

Whole body is itching from past two days and whole body has red spots and marks. Medicine going on but still it's itching a lot.
Male | 64
Itching all over the body can be because of various causes like infections, allergies or drug or food allergies, certain conditions like hypo or hyperthyroidism, diabetes etc. Please consult a qualified Dermatologist for the right diagnosis, apt treatment and dose adjustment of the current medicines that are being used. Dermatologist may also recommend certain blood tests and biopsy if necessary for the right diagnosis. Avoid using harsh soaps that strip the moisture from the skin. Use good emollients containing glycerine, shea butter, ceramides etc for soothing effect. For more information you can visit best dermatologist in India.

I am a 22 year old female, my breasts have become more pale and sensitive as of late, and am unsure why.
Female | 22
Breasts changing color and feeling more sensitive is common. This could happen due to hormones, irritated skin, or blood flow changes. Look for other issues like pain or lumps too. If changes last or worry you, talk to a doctor for a checkup.

Female | 22
Inflammation and irritation on your face can be caused by a variety of factors such as allergies, skin conditions, or irritants. The stinging sensation and red spots often indicate a need for gentle care. To help soothe your skin, consider using a mild cleanser and applying a fragrance-free moisturizer. Avoid harsh products and direct sun exposure. It’s important to consult a skin specialist for a proper evaluation and tailored treatment plan to address your concerns effectively.

I am a 17 year old girl, recently I noticed some white small point sized or slightly bigger patches on my hips. I don't know what to do, but I'm afraid this might be some big disease.
Female | 17
It might be a common skin condition called pityriasis alba. This isn't something to worry about. Pityriasis alba can lead to pale patches on the skin, mainly on the face, neck, and arms. You can see them better in summer when your skin is darker. Dryness is what makes the skin turn lighter than it’s supposed to be, the reason for this happening is mostly because of dryness. You might also want to consider moisturizing your skin more often with lotion, or drinking plenty of water helps too. If there is no change after doing all these things then go to a dermatologist who will advise on treatment methods for this condition.

If the fat lump is on the back of your hand that could be a lipoma. Those are the benign growths of fat cells that seldom have any adverse effects. But, it is always better to go to a doctor for examination and diagnosis. In this situation a dermatologist would be the right specialist to consult.

Hair fall, or losing hair from your head, is a common issue. It can happen for several reasons such as stress, bad nutrition, hereditary factors, and hormonal changes. The signs of this include finding more hairs on your comb or pillow, or getting a receding hairline. To help, try managing stress, eating well-balanced meals rich in vitamins, and using gentle hair care products.

Excess oil production causes oily skin. Clogged pores result in pimples - painful red bumps. Wash your face twice daily with gentle cleansers. Use oil-free products. Avoid excessive face touching. If problems persist, consult a dermatologist.

I have a scabies What it's treatment
Male | 17
Scabies happens when tiny bugs burrow into the skin. They make you itch a lot, mainly during night hours. Red bumps or lines may show up on your body. To treat scabies, you need a special cream/lotion from a dermatologist applied everywhere. Clothes, bed sheets, and towels must be washed in hot water too. This stops mites from spreading further.

Face and eye swelling and wrinkles might also result from allergies or insufficient sleep. Apply a cool compress on your face to bring down the swelling. Check that you are sleeping right and drinking enough water. Besides, explore if any new skincare products might be causing skin irritation.
