Why is my penis red, inflamed, with pus-filled bump?
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 very sexually active(once a month)

The redness, bumps, and horrible odor are the issues, and the burning and the itching bother you more than they should. Proper hygiene is a defense against the illness; however, self-treatment may not be effective. You should go to a dermatologist to be examined thoroughly and receive accurate tests. They can draw up a diagnostic and treatment plan that suits your condition and deals with the symptoms efficiently.

Hello , I'm facing diffuse thinning in my hair for the past one year my temples are so thin and my crown is also thin and overall volume of the hair is low I've been taking minoxidil for 3months I haven't seen any results how long does it take and should I start taking finasteride
Male | 18
Thinning hair can be due to several factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, and health conditions. Minoxidil takes around four to six months to start working so be patient. If you are thinking of using finasteride, it is a good idea to talk to your dermatologist first and find out if it is the right option for you.

I am 28 years old female suffering from the problem of dark circles circles since last 10 years. I have taken a lot of treatments from 15+ doctors but nothing worked, i even tried all home remedies, ayurveda, homeopathy and much more, because of which my skin got burned twice. Moreover my dark circles got even more prominent and stiff. Now i want to head forward towards advance treatments. Doctors are suggesting me to go for chemical peel . Therefore i want a second opinion on whether it will work, how effective it will be and if it will it be safe.
Female | 28
Chemical peels can be an effective treatment for dark circles. It involves the use of a chemical solution that is applied to the skin in order to remove dead skin cells and stimulate the growth of new, healthy skin cells. This can help to reduce the appearance of dark circles, although it is not a guaranteed solution and may require multiple treatments to achieve the desired results. It is important to consult with your dermatologist before undergoing any chemical peel procedure, as it can carry some serious risks. These risks can include scarring, infection, skin discoloration, and irritation. Additionally, chemical peels can cause lasting damage to the skin if not performed properly. Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions carefully.

Hair can become thin when one of the many causes is considered including heredity, poor nutrition, hormonal imbalance, stress, and some health issues.

I applied a lotion in my chest and also in upper legs but unfortunately it also get applied on my scrotum after my scrotum started itching, buring and next day it started peeling
Male | 18
The lotion triggered an irritation in your scrotum area, it seems. Itching, burning sensation, and peeling skin often indicate skin irritation. That delicate region's skin may have reacted adversely to the lotion's ingredients. As a treatment, use lukewarm water and mild soap to gently cleanse the affected area. Avoid applying that lotion there again. However, if symptoms linger, consult a dermatologist promptly.

HPV, especially type 45, is primarily spread through direct skin-to-skin contact, mainly sexual. The chance of transmission through shared clothing is low. However, considering your mother's health condition and her rheumatoid arthritis, it’s good to be cautious. Encourage her to see a gynecologist for proper advice and peace of mind.

Can i supplement fish oil being a vegetarian without any issues
Male | 18
As a vegetarian, if you want to include Omega-3 fatty acids in your diet, you should not use fish oil. What is in fish oil mainly comes from fish, and many people may find this unappealing. Instead, consider using flaxseed oil or algae oil which are obtained from plants. The two oils have similar benefits as fish oil but do not contradict with the vegetarian lifestyle.

Female | 22
Pigmentation-related conditions or dark spots on the face may come up due to different causes. However, the sun, hormonal changes, and skin inflammation commonly constitute the main factors behind it. In the fading of these spots, you might try products containing such ingredients as vitamin C, niacinamide, or retinol. Mela glow cream might be effective, nevertheless, before applying the cream, ask a dermatologist. Never forget to use sunscreen to shield your skin.

Male | 17
Hair loss is one of the most common conditions since minoxidil is often used as a medication to cope with this problem. Therefore, if it does not work for you, then your primary route of action would be to consult a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Im 19yrs old, getting red stretch marks on my right breasts and they are little itchy and burning! Is it normal? Its only in one of my breasts!
Female | 19
Stretch marks often appear during growth periods like at 19. They're reddish, itchy bands from your expanding skin. Having them on just one side is normal too. Gentle moisturizers may ease the irritation. Drink plenty of fluids.

Hello doctor , a cold sore under nose has left dark mark what to do regarding it
Female | 26
You have a dark mark left after a cold sore under your nose. A herpes simplex virus causes a cold sore. The sore is a part of the healing process, but it can leave behind a dark spot. This is the usual case. To help it fade, you can try using a cream with ingredients like vitamin C or kojic acid. Sunscreen use is always the first and essential skincare routine. With time, it should get better.

Acne manifests as small bumps and blackheads appear as clogged pores with dark color. They can be caused by excessive fat on the face's skin and bacteria. It is advisable to wash your face daily, using a gentle cleanser. Touching your face should be avoided. In case no improvements, visiting a dermatologist is an option.

Strands becoming thinner, bald spots appearing, or hair that breaks easily are typical symptoms. Usual remedies embrace a nutritive diet that is loaded with vitamins, regular scalp care, and the utilization of specific treatments. You can think about doing protective hairdos to safeguard your hair from further damage. You can also consult a dermatologist for further treatment options.

ear lump from piercing in helix bleeding and swelling and irritation
Female | 15
There’s a lump in your ear above where the earrings go. If it’s swollen, red, or bleeds, it might be an infected piercing. Infections happen when bacteria enter through broken skin. To help it heal faster clean it with saline solution, don’t touch it with unclean hands, and use warm compresses several times a day. If this doesn’t work you should see a dermatologist.

Hello, I have a wart/verucca for a few years now, a couple of days ago it was painful and i noticed that it was all yellow around, like it was inflamed, so i tried to drain it and i cut the inflamed part to the point where all 7 layers of my skin was gone and it left a hole, the dimensions of the area is about 1.5cm and it doesnt hurt anymore, should i be concerned or will it heal on it own?
Female | 18
Cutting or draining a wart at home can lead to infection and other complications. Since you've removed multiple layers of skin and created a hole, there is a risk of infection, scarring, or delayed healing. A professional can assess the wound, provide appropriate treatment to prevent infection, and determine whether any further steps are needed for healing
