Why is my skin dry in patches?
Why im getting dry it by skin in patches
Dermatologist
Answered on 18th Sept '24
Your skin may be dehydrated in patches. This could be due to many reasons, such as a lack of moisture, harsh soaps, or skin conditions like eczema. Dry skin can feel rough, scratchy, or even fissure. To help, try washing your kids' hair using a soap that is formulated for them. Use a thick cream or ointment which you should apply daily for at least a week. Also, drink plenty of water. If you do not see an improvement, visit a dermatologist.

I am a 20 year old female. I've had acne for over 2 years now. I have Acne, small red and white bumps, textured and oily skin as well as hyperpigmentation and post acne dark spots. I Have been using tretinoin twice a week for a month now and have seen slight improvement in the texture of my skin without any dryness or irritation, followed by moisturizer , hyaluronic acid and sunscreen in the morning.
Female | 20
Pimples come from oil and dead skin blocking hair holes. Oily skin makes more pimples. Tretinoin medicine helps by clearing blocked holes. It makes skin better. Using cream, hyaluronic stuff, and sunblock is good too. Keep doing it. Pimples take time to go away. You can also visit a dermatologist.

I have these red spots on my hands that have been there since July but they have only gotten worse. They are very itchy and my arms and legs are also itchy recently. I thought it might have been something I’ve caught off someone as he also had a skin issue on his hands.
Female | 20
You may have a skin condition called eczema. Eczema can manifest itself as red and itchy spots on hands, arms, and legs. This is not something that you can pick up from another person. Stress, allergies, or dry skin are the factors that make it worse. Gentle moisturizers and avoiding the use of harsh soaps can be safe variations. If it still bothers you, visit a dermatologist.

Aoa , I'm 22 years old and I'm having hair fall, I have a lot of pain in my head, always on top side, any good medicine or shampoo.
Male | 22
The hair loss can be because of stress, hormonal imbalances, inadequate nutrition levels, or medical issues. The importance of consulting a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment cannot be overstressed. Without being given a proper diagnosis, the application of over-the-counter shampoos and medications will only make it worse.

A couple days ago i noticed a large lump underneath one of my armpits. a few weeks prior my armpit had been feeling very sore and painful but i just recently looked and saw a large lump and there was some sort of discharge leaking from it.. a few days later it’s gotten somewhat smaller but now there is a nasty raw scab growing around it and it hurts and itches. also the center of the lump is red and sticking outward and looks like it’s bleeding.
Female | 18
This could be a clue to some infection. See a dermatologist immediately for an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment. Immediate medical treatment is vital in such situations.

Hi i m abhishek (21 year old male) i m experienceing red asymptomatic bruises on penis head after erection and it will disappear in 2-3 days
Male | 21
You’re dealing with might be penile bruises. These are essentially red marks that appear on the tip of your penis after you get an erection and then fade away within a few days. This kind of thing is pretty common and usually not something to worry about. Sometimes they can be caused by rough handling or friction during certain activities. I’d suggest being a bit more careful and seeing if that helps at all. If they keep happening or you’re concerned, it might be a good idea to bring it up with a dermatologist.

I have a tiny small small dot like Black head on my nose tip this got remove whenever i squeeze that with my finger how can i remove my all black dot on my nose tip
Male | 23
We do not recommend that you try to manually remove black dots on the rhinion by squeezing or picking them as it can cause scarring, infection, and even further damage to the nose. These black dots are blackheads that result from the formation of black plugs in the pores. A dermatologist is the right person in the healthcare sector to the diagnosis and treatment of this condition.

I am a 25 year old male and I have small bumps in a small area on the back of my head right above my neck, what can i do to get rid of them
Male | 25
Folliculitis seems likely: infected hair follicles cause small, itchy bumps. Warm compresses soothe irritation. Wash gently using mild soap; never scratch. If bumps persist or worsen, consult a dermatologist promptly. Folliculitis is common but manageable with proper care.

Female | 16
You seem troubled by your nose's condition. A bump might cause nasal pain and growth sensation, making the tip droop, and the bridge appear crooked. Such changes can occur during development. Consulting a dermatologist would clarify the issue and find solutions for your discomfort.

Male | 48
Skin infections can lead to swelling, redness, and sometimes even to the appearance of bubbles or blisters. This is the result of bacteria getting into the skin via a cut or wound, for example, a bite. The most important thing you can do is to visit a dermatologist and get the right treatment. They can prescribe you some antibiotics and give you ointments that can assist you in getting rid of the infection. To ensure that the area heals faster, it is important to keep it clean and dry.

I have a bump on my head and it has been there for a bit possibly a cyst am i ok?
Female | 14
A cyst is an enclosed sac filled with fluid. It forms under the skin as a lump. Cysts may feel tender, and they grow slowly over time. Doctors should examine unusual bumps to identify them. Most cysts are harmless, but removal might help if it bothers you or keeps growing. If it doesn't cause issues, leaving it alone is also okay. However, getting it checked by a dermatologist provides peace of mind.

I have sebaceous cyst on my back with inflammation. doctor suggested for surgical removal. But I have keloid history, what treatment should I go for
Male | 32
Given your history with keloids, having the cyst surgically taken out could result in the formation of keloids. Keloids are raised scars that grow beyond the original injury site. Instead of opting for an operation, you may want to think about other alternatives such as steroid injections or laser therapy. These treatments can help to decrease inflammation and prevent the formation of keloids. It is important to talk about these options with a dermatologist so that you can choose the one that fits you best.

Dots on dick hurts a little
Male | 24
The penis may have them in the form of small, elevated points. Generally, the cause of this is a type of virus known as HPV which can be transmitted through sexual contact. The warts may not be the most painful but can also slightly hurt. It is necessary to see a dermatologist for treatment options, which could include medicines or procedures to eliminate the warts.

Mere face ke neeche neck ke pass hanging pimples hogaye hain .Inhe hatane ke liye kya karoon, kaunsi company ki cream ya lotion lagaon jo market mein available ho.meri age 35 yrs hain.
पुरुष | 35
The most likely cause is acne or ingrown hair. Accordingly, look for creams with active substances like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to help them go away. These can be found in different brands, including Neutrogena and Clean & Clear. Gently wash your face first, before applying the cream.

I am a 22 year old female. I have many unwanted facial hair. It started years ago but it spreading to a lot of places on my face. I also have hair on several places where women are supposed to have. Please what should I do to get rid of them.
Female | 22
It seems that you may have a condition called hirsutism, which means women develop hair in areas where men normally do. Hormonal imbalances, genetics, or polycystic ovary syndrome could be responsible for this. To solve the problem, consult with a dermatologist who can suggest treatments such as drugs to regulate hormones or laser hair removal.
