Why do I have redness, bumps, and odor on penis?
I am a 21 year old male . I am experiencing some concerning symptoms around the genital area. There is significant redness on the head of the penis and on the skin when it is pulled back. Additionally, a large, raised bump that resembles a pus-filled lesion has appeared on the head of the penis. There is also an unpleasant smell that persists despite washing and maintaining hygiene. The area has small spots and pimples, and the overall appearance is quite inflamed and abnormal. I also feel a burning sensation and itching in the area, which have not improved with regular cleaning. I would appreciate your guidance on this I am not so sexually active ( once a month )

It seems that you are suffering from the symptoms that are likely to be caused by an infection or an inflammatory condition. Various factors, such as inflammation, infection, and skin disorder, can cause redness, bumps, and discomfort. At the same time, hygiene maintenance is important, but these symptoms are usually the ones that require the doctor's care. I advise you to make an appointment with a dermatologist who can correctly diagnose and treat your problem.

I am a 36 year old female and about 2 yrs ago a spot so small I thought it was a dot from a pen showed up on the side of the top of my finger. Since then it has gotten a tiny bit bigger but it's not round as when I first saw it. It looks like a dark line very small but when I flash a light on it I can see it's a line not round. Should I be worried?
Female | 36
You have a rather small dark streak growing on your finger over the last couple of years. It could be just a harmless mole or a skin tag, but it’s best to watch if it changes color, size or shape. Sometimes strange skin spots can be a sign of skin cancer. For safety’s sake, it’s always good to have it looked at by a dermatologist.

Hi, Im 25 gear old women. I found lil lump on my lower abdomen and its painful when i touch as like acne in face but lil bigger compared to face acne.

But now that boil was healed and this one still there. So i was panic whether its normal or fatal. Please assist me. Fyi i was married just one month back. Thanks in advance!

If it is a simple boil then treating with the topical antibiotics cream like Neosporin daily for 5 days will heal it. If it doesn't get cured consult local dermatologist near you

Mere scalp me 1yrs se papdi padh rhi hai aur Mein selsun shampoo lagati Hu but Kuch asar nhi hai to Kya lagaya
Female | 15
This could be seborrheic dermatitis, a condition causing red, flaky patches. Regular dandruff shampoos may not cut it here. Try using a medicated shampoo with ketoconazole or coal tar instead. If that pesky rash sticks around, it's smart to chat with a dermatologist. They can properly check it out and suggest treatments to make that rash hit the road.

been diagnosed with scabies and applies permethrin cream on the 3rd of april. after research i can see improvements are not quick to see but i am seeing a much larger increase of rashes on different parts of my body that weren’t there and the existing ones, like my left hand, looks like the rashes have developed bumps and look more prominent. is this a normal reaction to the cream and should i be worried that it has made it worse? should i try ignore it until my second treatment?
Male | 20
Are rashes getting worse after using permethrin cream? Relax, that's normal. The mites are dying, which can cause irritation and make the rashes appear worse briefly. Don't worry—this means the treatment is working. Keep at it steadily and follow the instructions carefully. Contact a dermatologist if symptoms escalate severely or if discomfort spikes alarmingly.

Female | 42
There are numerous reasons for pigmentation on the face, such as sun damage, hormonal changes or trauma. It is treatable if diagnosed by a dermatologist correctly. I recommend that you see a dermatologist who deals with hyperpigmentation. They can advise you on the best treatment option, whether it is topical creams, chemical peels or lasers, based on the severity of your condition.

Pimple on anus giving pain
Male | 30
This may occur because of a swollen hair follicle or clogged gland; at times, it could indicate infection. If within some days the condition does not improve along with the bump becoming painful, then visit a dermatologist. Also, ensure to keep the place tidy while putting on loose clothes for comfort.

I'm 22 years old and I'm suffering from fungal infection around my private area from around last one year. Please help me what to do...
Male | 22
You have a fungal infection in your private area. Sometimes it can be due to sweat, tight clothing, or not drying properly after a shower. The main symptom is the itch and the redness. This can be treated with antifungal cream. Keep the area clean and dry. Loose-fitting cotton underwear and not scratching the area will make it better.

I'm a 21years old female with infection. I have been to several hospitals with different drugs prescribed, when it seems to go then it comes back again
Female | 21
It sounds like you might be experiencing recurring symptoms, which can be frustrating. Infections can be caused by various factors, including bacteria or viruses, and may result in symptoms like pain, fever, or discomfort. It’s important to identify the specific type of infection, as different treatments are required. I recommend consulting a dermatologist who can perform thorough evaluations and possibly suggest a tailored treatment plan. Keeping hydrated, maintaining good hygiene, and following medical advice are key steps in your recovery.

"I am 22 years old and have noticed a small, painful lump on the right side of my chin. I've been smoking for the past two months, and a few days ago, I was in an accident where I landed on my right side. The lump is painful when I press on the bone side of my chin. Could you help me determine whether this might be something serious, like cancer, or if it could be related to the recent trauma from the accident ?
Male | 22
Your doctor might be right when he says you have a painful lump on your chin that is a manifestation of the recent trauma from your accident. The fact that it hurts when you press on the bone side of your chin suggests that the impact you experienced is the cause of it. Given your young age, it's less likely to be a malignant tumor. To be safe, try applying a cold compress to help with the pain and swelling. If the lump doesn't improve or worsens, you should go to a dermatologist for another opinion.

I'm getting more pimples and marks on my face nowadays
Female | 23
This problem is called acne which is common among many people. It is caused by clogging of hair follicles with oil and dead skin cells. At times, hormonal changes or genetics can also contribute to its occurrence. To clear up your skin, you can wash it gently using your hands only. Avoid scrubbing too hard as this could worsen the condition. Select non-comedogenic moisturizers that won’t block pores while keeping the face hydrated throughout the day. Alternatively, consult with a dermatologist for further advice on how best to treat this.

Hair loss can be frustrating, and it’s a common issue that many people experience. There are several reasons, including stress, diet, genetics, and certain medical conditions. If water quality isn't the cause, it's important to consider your diet. Reducing stress, using gentle shampoos, and making dietary adjustments may help. However, if hair loss persists, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist who can evaluate underlying health issues.

I am 38 yrs old male, healthy and active I have skin infections in my perineum region. I am facing this problem for an year, It occurs and heals by itself and then occurs again. It seems like fungal infection, keep on itching and irritations. Please help to get rid of this
Male | 38
It sounds like you are experiencing recurrent skin irritations in a sensitive area. Symptoms such as itching and irritation may indicate a fungal infection, which often thrives in warm, moist environments. To manage this, keep the area clean and dry, consider using antifungal powders, and wear breathable clothing. If symptoms persist or worsen, it’s crucial to consult a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. They may recommend topical or oral antifungal medications.

i am 18 years old and i had small ball like structure in penis shaft for 3 years and it still not going away. I once goes for checkup but doctor says it normal and it will remove within weeks or months but its 3 years now
Male | 18
It looks like you’ve got penile papules. These are small, harmless bumps that commonly appear on the shaft of the penis. They might be white, pinkish or the color of your skin, and they don’t come from infections or bad hygiene. If the bumps start hurting or itching or anything else about them changes, it’s best to go see a dermatologist.

I suggest you to talk to your doctor about your mother's condition. Based on your mother's condition, he may suggest some different medicine or treatment. And for blisters, making certain lifestyle changes like eating healthy food, taking rest and avoiding certain triggers can prove helpful.

Child have itching on body
Male | 12
Itching can arise from various reasons, such as dry skin, allergies, insect bites, or eczema. Accompanying symptoms may include redness or small bumps. To alleviate discomfort, consider applying a fragrance-free moisturizer and ensuring your child wears soft, breathable clothing. Keeping their skin hydrated is crucial. It’s also helpful to track any potential triggers, like specific foods or environmental factors. If the itching persists or worsens, please schedule a visit with a dermatologist for tailored advice and treatment options.

Psoriasis makes the skin get red, scaly patches, which could be itchy or annoying. It goes like that when your immune system is in turmoil, it ends up targeting healthy skin cells.

Hello sir/ma'am please suggest me any skin cream. I used elosone ht cream over my skin for 3 month, that have affected my skin. And one of my friend told me that i have a skin atrophy. My skin where i use to apply the cream is completely covered with a dark layer. Can you please suggest me any cream so that the affected area can be fade out by time. Please ma'am its a humble request to you. It feels very bad and i cant even go outside due to this.
Female | 18
Using the cream may have caused your skin to become thin and fragile, a condition known as atrophy. The dark layer you see could be a result of this. Try using a gentle moisturizing cream with ingredients like aloe vera or oatmeal to help fade it over time. Avoid strong products and give your skin time to recover. Always do a patch test on new products before applying them to larger areas.
