Answered on 30th Jan '25
The appearance of dark vertical lines on your nails, known as longitudinal melanonychia, can arise from various factors, including benign changes, nail trauma, or, in some instances, underlying health conditions. While it is often harmless, changes in nail pigmentation should be evaluated to rule out more serious issues. I strongly encourage you to schedule an appointment with a dermatologist for a thorough assessment. They can provide you with a clear diagnosis and appropriate recommendations tailored to your specific situation.

Hair fall problem. Last 1 week I've lost my hair quickly.
Female | 21
Stress, insufficient nutrients, hormonal imbalances, or even the aftermath of an illness can be the reasons for rapid hair fall. A balanced diet, stress reduction, and using mild hair care products will help you. If the issue persists, it may be beneficial to consult a dermatologist to receive tailored guidance.

Female | 25
An itchy lip can be due to poor hydration, an allergic reaction or even a cold sore. It is recommended to see a dermatologist for a correct diagnosis and treatment choice. In due course, refrain from licking your lips and use petroleum jelly to moisturize your lips.

Sir actually whenever my mother has fever and after recovery her upper body gets dry
Female | 61
Fever can cause dry skin, which is common after recovering. However, it shouldn't last too long. Make sure your mom stays well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water and applying a gentle moisturizer regularly to nourish her skin. If the dryness continues or worsens, visit a dermatologist and they can explore more solutions to address the issue effectively.

Am 35 year old Getting white head like pimples on forehead
Female | 35
Those whiteheads on your forehead are probably a type of acne called comedones. The hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin cells. Skin conditions can be accompanied by small, white bumps. One way is to use mild face washes with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide which can help remedy the clogged pores.

thanks pr 5 day mai recover ho gya but scar jayega ya nhi halka sa scar dikh rha
Female | 22
A light scar may form after skin healing due to the natural process of tissue repair. This occurs when the skin creates new cells to close up any wounds. To support healing and minimize scarring, keep the area moisturized and protected from sun exposure. Using silicone gel sheets or vitamin E may also be beneficial. If you're concerned about the scar's visibility, I recommend discussing this with a dermatologist for personalized advice.

I have an issue with body odor. Can I talk to anyone
Female | 21
Sure, body odor tends to be a result of over-perspiration and not bathing often. There are however a variety of OTC products that can be used for reducing the odor, but it is often useful to first see a dermatologist to be sure of a diagnosis and a solution.

Mere bete ko 2 din se haath me ek safed daag dikh raha hai bas aap mujhe ye conform kr sakte hai kya ye vitiligo to nahi hai please
पुरुष | Zayan khan
Vitiligo is a condition in which white patches of the skin are formed. The cause is the absence of a substance called melanin, which gives skin its color. It's not, however, painful or contagious. At times, vitiligo could start from a small spot and then over time cover a large area. It is advisable to go to a dermatologist for correct diagnosis and treatment options.

I'm 20 year old male i had this pimple on my nose which is not going away since six months it crusts and comes back again it shows symptoms of squamous cell carcinoma please help
Male | 20
A pimple that won't disappear and crusts on your nose for six months may be a warning for something more serious. Squamous cell carcinoma, which is a form of skin cancer, can sometimes appear like this. It requires a doctor's attention. This may include a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis and a dermatologist may also suggest the best treatment which can be surgery or other options.

I have suspected genital herpes and had a 5 day course of Aciclovir which finished about 12 days ago. It was improving but I can feel another sore coming. Is this a new outbreak or oart of the same outbreak and do I take another course of Aciclovir?
Female | 30
An old sore and a new one on the genital area may be part of the same outbreak. It is strongly advised that you get a dermatologist’s or a sexually transmitted infections specialist’s opinion for a proper diagnosis. They could evaluate your situation and see if Aciclovir is still a good therapeutic option or not.

I am 33 years old, and I got eaching on my penis, and my penis upur skin is getting closed day by day, and now it's not opening. My penis cover is not opening. What is the issue?
Male | 33
You are likely to be enriched with a condition identified as phimosis. This is when the penis foreskin is too tight and does not pull back the head of the penis. It is this condition that stimulates you to itch and the foreskin is difficult to retract. When no preventive measures are taken, it may lead to other serious complications too. You need to see an urologist who can suggest the appropriate treatment, which may include gentle stretching exercises or circumcision.

Female | 2
Your daughter likely has ringworm, a fungal skin infection. Itchy, scaly red patches indicate this condition. Keeping feet dry and clean helps healing. Using antifungal cream as advised by a dermatologist is wise. Regularly wash socks, and shoes to stop spreading.

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 )
Male | 21
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.

Male | 20
The itchy red bumps on your scrotum, buttocks, and thighs could indicate a fungal infection or dermatitis. These areas are prone to such skin issues. While clotrimazole provides temporary relief, the condition keeps recurring. For an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment, consulting a dermatologist is advisable. Meanwhile, maintain hygiene in the affected regions. Avoid scratching to prevent further irritation. Wear loose, breathable clothing to minimize discomfort.

I have athletes feet from 6 years How to get rid from that?
Female | 19
Athlete's foot, a common fungal skin illness, affects your feet. It could cause itchiness, discoloration, peeling, and odor. Keeping feet clean, dry (especially between toes), helps cure it. Use doctor-prescribed antifungal creams or powders diligently. Wear fresh socks, shoes daily. Avoid sharing footwear to prevent spreading infection.

Sir there is a pimple like thing in the middle of my chest. When I press it something comes out. What is it? It has been there for a long time.
Male | 24
You may have a sebaceous cyst, this occurs when the hair follicle is clogged and oil collects under the skin. It is usually not serious, but it can become infected if left untreated. If it bothers you, it would be best to have a dermatologist remove it safely. To prevent infection, do not try to squeeze it out at home.

If the marks are just pigmentation-like, they will be corrected in due course of time with the combination of steroids and antibiotics in tropical form, and if it is a depression or scar that has to be addressed with lasers.
