In my right hand thumb skin is peeling

Answered on 1st Mar '25
Peeling skin on your thumb can result from various factors, such as dryness, irritation, or an allergic reaction. Sometimes, frequent hand washing or exposure to harsh chemicals can contribute to this condition. To soothe the area, apply a gentle moisturizer or a hand cream regularly. It's also beneficial to wear gloves while doing household chores to protect your skin. If the issue persists or worsens, seeking advice from a dermatologist is essential. They can provide a tailored treatment plan and ensure there are no underlying concerns.

Male | 34
Vitiligo is a medical condition where white spots appear on the skin. It is also capable of changing the color of hair. The exact cause is not known, although it is thought to occur when the cells that give skin and hair their color are damaged. There is no cure for vitiligo, however, treatments such as creams and light therapy may help to make the skin look better. It's best to see a dermatologist for the right treatment.

I have a 14 year old daughter who has a had a itchy raised red puffy bump on her left shoulder the last two days. It happened in the middle of her basketball game. It has gotten worse from her bra strap and shirt rubbing against it. I want to know what it is and how to fix this mystery.
Female | 14
Looks like your daughter has a skin irritation that is contact dermatitis. One common type is contact dermatitis, which is caused by something rubbing against the skin and triggering redness, itching, and swelling. This thing might be her bra strap or shirt, which is the cause of the rash on her skin when it rubs against it while she is playing basketball, To make her feel better, try to use a soothing lotion or cream and let her put on clothes that are not tight enough to prevent rubbing as much as possible.

Can an itchy rash with raised white bumps on the arms (which flatten a bit and turn more red with mometosone after itching) be scabies instead of eczema? What about if at the same time on the belly there is a flat rash of red dots?
Female | 19
An itchy red rash with raised bumps may indicate scabies, not eczema. Scabies result from tiny mites burrowing into the skin, prompting itchiness and bumps. Red dots on your belly also suggest scabies spread. Visiting a dermatologist is crucial for proper diagnosis. They can prescribe medicines killing mites, and relieving itchiness. Scabies requires medical attention, unlike typical eczema.

I don't know if it's jock itch because I sweat alot in that area or its am STI because I am sexually active
Male | 24
Either a jock itch or an STI can cause groin itching. Jock itch results from sweat and friction, leading to redness, itching, and rashes. An STI may have similar symptoms but is related to unprotected sex. Use antifungal creams for jock itch and practice safe sex to prevent STIs. Maintaining good hygiene is also important.

I was 26. I was obese. Recently i found crack on my under foot in upper part.
Female | 26
You are suffering from cracked heels. One of the reasons cracked heels can appear is if your skin gets very dry or if you’re carrying extra weight. Cracked heels are painful and may even bleed. To assist, you can consider using a gentle moisturizer on your feet daily and wearing comfortable shoes. However, if the cracks are too deep or the wounds are slow to heal, it is advisable to visit a dermatologist.

Will washing his hair scar his scalp or will his scalp scab and heal back to normal?
Other | 24
Regularly washing hair won't harm your scalp or cause scabs, unless you scrub roughly or use very hot water. If scalp feels sore, turns red, or develops scabs, try gentler shampoo and lukewarm water instead. Don't scratch the scalp. Allow it to heal naturally. However, if the issue persists, consult a dermatologist for professional advice.

Can i get hpv from touching doors,keyboards, cups, clothes or shaking hands ? Thank you so much.
Male | 32
HPV means human papillomavirus. You can’t get it from things like cups, clothes, doors, and keyboards. This virus is often spread through skin-to-skin contact. It can cause warts or even cancer in some cases. The best way to keep yourself safe from this virus is to get the HPV vaccine.

You might feel pressure around your neck, leaving marks on your face. Strange sleeping positions or stress could cause this issue. Try relaxing techniques and using a comfortable pillow. However, seek medical advice if marks persist or you experience pain. A professional consultation from a dermatologist would ensure appropriate care for your condition.

Male | 19
According to the information you have given, your left side's visible bulging under the throat could be due to some pathological reasons. This can be demonstrated through infections, allergy symptoms, thyroid disorders, etc. Stay hydrated, get proper rest, and try the warm compress on it, if you can, for a while. If the swelling remains or you start experiencing breathing difficulties or freezing, you must not hesitate to contact a dermatologist.

Male | 32
The mild pain and fever may also be related to an infection. The swelling on the skin is a sign that the skin is inflamed. This type of infection may be the result of bacteria or viruses. To get rid of this, you might have to use antibiotics that are prescribed by a dermatologist. Cleanliness and dryness of the area will facilitate quick healing of the injury.

Melasma takes months and years to go. Treatments are peel / q switch, Gfc treatments, Transemic injections are needed, topical creams for lightening will be given in rotation, with sunscreen, and oral antioxidants. Don't expect miracles with Melasma. They can increase and reduce with hormones as pregnancy n stress also But definitely can be reduced and controlled.

I am 16 years old and a female, I have noticed that there has been a white spot/bump on my tongue for the past four or five days. At first the bump hurt and I would bite it or play with it with my teeth and it would not stop hurting. Then On sunday night I drank a hot tea and it burnt my tongue. Now it feels like my tongue feels better but that spot feels like it is still irritated or burnt. The spot has not gotten bigger it has been the same size and my lymph nodes are not swollen. I haven’t experienced any fever/ flu like symptoms or unusual discharge.
Female | 16
You might have a canker sore, a harmless and common mouth ulcer. Canker sores can be painful and can come after biting your tongue or eating hot foods. They generally disappear in a week or two by themselves. You can use over-the-counter numbing gels or try rinsing your mouth with salt water to ease the discomfort. Stay away from spicy or acidic foods that can irritate the sore. If it doesn't get any better and if you have more issues, visit a dermatologist.

I have a pimple on my lower side of penis, it is there from last 2 months, but from last 3 days it started paining and swelling ( white pus ). Is it normal or I need serious medication. Please help me
Male | 20
It's not normal to have a pimple on the penis for 2 months, especially if it's now painful and swollen with white pus. It might be an infection. Keep the area clean and dry. Avoid picking or squeezing it. Using water that has been warmed or a warm compress can help in soothing it. If you have a condition that doesn't get better or gets worse, it's better to see a dermatologist.

Little white spots can appear on the skin, mainly on the arms and legs, due to fewer pigment cells caused by aging and sun exposure. There's no treatment, but you can prevent it from worsening by using sunscreen and avoiding too much sun.

My sister has a severe allergy to benzoyl peroxide. Her face and neck were swelling in the area of contact last night.
Female | 37
An allergic response occurs when your body sees a substance as harmful. It swells to shield itself. Her swelling shows benzoyl peroxide triggered an allergic reaction. Dodging benzoyl peroxide products and consulting a dermatologist about alternative treatments that won't cause an allergy is wise.
