It sounds like you may be experiencing an infection in your ear piercing, which can happen due to various reasons such as irritation, bacteria, or allergic reactions. Symptoms like swelling, discharge, and pain are common. To help, clean the area gently with saline solution or mild soap and avoid touching it with dirty hands. Applying a warm compress can also alleviate discomfort. However, if the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and appropriate treatment.

Hi doctors please i need help, before 20 days on my panis glans itching, redness,and rushed,smegma also and I buy cream from local pharmacy ELICA - M, mometasone furoate 0.1 % w/w,miconazole nitrate 2% w/w ,external use only can I use on my panis glans please reply as soon as possible
Male | 29
Based on what you’ve described, it could be a yeast infection on your penis. Yeast infections can cause itching, redness, and a rash. The ointment you bought has mometasone and miconazole, which may aid in treating fungal infections such as yeast. Ensure you use this cream exactly as directed by applying a thin layer only to the affected area. If no improvement is seen after applying the medicine according to the instructions or if the condition worsens, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

Hi, i've got a few chickenpox scars on my forehead which i would like to improve. I've heard that since i'm young and can stimulate my collagen production treatsments such as laser and dermapens can improve my scars for a lifetime. Is this true?
Male | 24
Chickenpox causes scars sometimes after healing the skin. Treatments including laser and dermapens help reduce scars. They stimulate collagen production in the skin. New collagen improves scar appearance. Being young assists scar healing through collagen. These treatments may be effective for you due to your age. However, results differ from person to person.

Extrem skin dryness after using clindamycin gel on face
Female | 22
A severe rash on the face is a possible side effect of the Clindamycin gel after applying it. This can be a result of the active ingredient in the gel which may cause skin dryness and irritation. To resolve this problem, it is recommended to go to a dermatologist.

Hi i m 39 year old male and need treatment like detoxing face
Male | 39
The aforementioned issues were all common skin issues that include acne, dullness, or oily skin, and were caused by factors such as stress, poor dietary habits, or pollution in the environment. A mild detoxification program can make your skin look healthier. The products that hydrate your skin, along with a well-balanced diet with lots of fruits and vegetables, regular cleansing will get you started. Exfoliation may also be favorable, but do not overdo it, please. To get the right kind of help, you should visit a dermatologist.

Under legs abscess problem plz suggestions any tube medicine
Male | 26
This is often caused by a bacterial infection in a hair follicle or sweat gland which gets infected. To heal it, you may need to consult a dermatologist. After removing it, they may also use an antibiotic cream or pills to get away from the infection. Please clean the area carefully and do not press or attempt to rupture the abscess yourself.

Hello docto I'm noticing some uneven skin tone on my face and hands. They also appear darker than the rest of my body. Can you help me understand what might be causing this?" And also some pimples on my face can you give a solution??
Male | 16
Darker areas on your skin may be hyperpigmentation. This common issue happens when the skin makes too much pigment. Sun exposure, hormones, or irritation can cause it. As for pimples, they come from clogged pores and extra oil. To help, use a gentle face wash, sunscreen, and products with ingredients like retinol or niacinamide. These can even out skin tone and unclog pores. You can also visit a dermatologist for a proper treatment.

Male | 27
It appears as though you possibly have an extremely bad allergic reaction on your podophylin cream. I suggest that you go to a dermatologist immediately for an assessment and treatment.

I have a white patch something in my inner cheek of. Mouth above the wisdom tooth.. Which is cured before but suddenly it appears again
Male | 21
Your cheek area near the wisdom tooth might have a white patch. It could be oral thrush, a fungal infection. Thrush may return if treatment is incomplete, or your immunity is low. To get it resolved, you'll need proper medication from a dentist.

Today in the morning I had a little mark like I was bitten by something one at the back of my hand the other near my elbow now both are really swollen and painful but they are not itchy as in the morning what could that be and what do I do cause I'm worried
Female | 18
You may be a victim of an insect or spider bite. In some cases, though, these bites can make a person swell and feel pain. Although it's not itchy right now, the reaction can be different in the future. To help, clean the bites gently with soap and water, apply a cold compress like a cool cloth, and take over-the-counter pain relievers for the discomfort. If the swelling doesn't go away or new symptoms appear, it's better to contact a dermatologist for advice.

Hello! Since I’m a teenager I have B.O But since a year ago, I noticed that sometimes my armpits smells like urine.
Female | 23
Teenagers generally face body odor because of hormonal fluctuations. Nevertheless, if you come across a smell of urine, it is better to seek treatment from dermatologists and endocrinologists to get an underlying medical condition ruled out.

I have warts with elevation for many years.... Mentally tired for continuing treatment but not curing...
Female | 54
You have warts and may have been there for a long time. The warts are caused by a virus that gets into the skin through a cut or opening. It's common to get tired of treatments if they haven't worked. Sometimes, indeed, warts can be hard to deal with. You might consider trying different treatments such as the ones available over-the-counter or you can visit a dermatologist to find out the other alternatives.

I have white spots on my face from past 2 months...And now new ones on hands..What is the cause of the same?
Female | 13
It sounds like you may have a skin condition called vitiligo. Vitiligo causes white patches to appear on the skin because the pigment cells stop working. It is not contagious or harmful, but it can cause worry or self-consciousness. There is no cure for vitiligo, but treatments like corticosteroid creams or light therapy may help. It's best to visit a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and management.

Stretch marks are almost permanent. You can reduce it to an extent. but not completely make it erased. You have to take laser PRP treatment for that.

Common warts ko kese thik kare
Male | 19
Warts appear mostly on the hands and feet. Sometimes they have black dots inside them. Though not harmful, warts can be annoying. You can use over-the-counter salicylic acid to remove them. Keep the area clean and dry. Don't pick or scratch warts, or they may spread. If they don't go away, consult a dermatologist.

I'm 19 years old. Female. My face is full of tiny bumps, whiteheads, blackheads and dark spots.. I've been using salicylic acid from around 2 months now. But now I'm getting more tiny bumps all around my face and my face is getting dark.. is it purging or I'm using a wrong product..
Female | 19
Small pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, and dark spots appearing together is no fun. Sometimes salicylic acid makes things seem worse initially, a process called "purging." If it's been two months without improvement, that product might not work for your skin type. A simple solution: talk to a dermatologist for advice tailored to your needs.

I am 25years old, I have been battling with dark knuckles, in fact, the more I apply knuckles cream, the more it gets worse, so recently I thought of getting Gluthatione pills and start using them so my hands and legs can be uniform again. But I am afraid it might have side effects, please help me.....I will do anything you ask me to do at this moment.
Female | 25
Consult with your doctor before you start taking any new supplement. There are several options available if you are looking for natural ways to lighten dark knuckles. You can try exfoliating the affected area with a gentle scrub, apply lemon juice, or using a product that contains natural bleaching ingredients such as aloe vera, papaya, and turmeric.

Brown tag bump on stomach
Male | 29
These lumps, also known as skin tags, are quite harmless. Skin tags are little soft fleshy growths that can develop on the skin. Though generally painless, skin tags may sometimes become irritated by clothes or jewelry catching on them. The exact cause for these tags is unknown, but it may be due to friction from rubbing against other areas or hormonal changes during pregnancy or puberty. If you find the skin tag bothersome, do not worry as they can easily be removed through simple procedures done by a dermatologist. Keep an eye on it and if there is anything about its size/color/shape that worries you or is different from what was there before.

Sudden bottom lip swelling red sore lip discolouration inside mouth problems tip of nose swells teeth problems joint pain
Female | 31
Your symptoms indicate you could have angioedema. It leads to unexpected lip swelling. Redness and soreness accompany this condition. Discoloration inside your mouth, and swollen nose tip too, might relate. At times, teeth issues and joint pain happen. Avoiding triggers like certain foods or medicines is wise. Using a cold compress can ease swelling. If it persists, see a dermatologist. They'll assess and treat it properly.

Had a cream that I used, I got home and started using my family cream which gives me reddish small bumps, they said it’s an allergy, I stopped and started using my cream, but the reddish bumps still showing for like a week now , what’s happening. I’m noticing new reddish bumps too.
Male | 28
Skin reactions are possible after using products. Allergies often lead to reddish bumps appearing. Even when stopping the cream's use, bumps can linger. Keep your skin moisturized and clean during this time. If symptoms persist or worsen, consulting a dermatologist provides valuable guidance.
