Answered on 2nd Mar '25

It sounds like you're experiencing some discomfort due to dry, itchy, and red skin. These symptoms can arise from various factors, including environmental conditions, allergies, or skin conditions like eczema. To help alleviate your discomfort, consider using a gentle moisturizer frequently, especially after bathing. Avoid hot showers, as they can worsen dryness. Wearing breathable fabrics can also be beneficial. If symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to consult a dermatologist for personalized advice and treatment options.

Few small bumps on penis

Male | 29

It can be due to a range of conditions such as Fordyce spots, pimples, or genital warts. It is advisable to visit a dermatologist or a urologist for basic check-op to make sure there is no serious condition. Do not self-diagnose or treat yourself at home, because it can only result in your aggravation of the situation.

I have a dry skin, for which the doctor had suggested Zydip lotion having Beclometasonen in it. I am using it regularly with body moisturizer. Can i use it regularly or not?

Male | 23

There are various causes of dry skin including weather conditions, age and certain skin disorders. This can lead to symptoms such as itching, redness or rough patches. Beclometasone contained in Zydip lotion works by reducing inflammation as well as itching. The medicine should be applied along with a skin moisturizer although the frequency of use will depend on what your doctor tells you.

Hello sir /ma'am From the past 3 months i was using elosone ht skin cream over my knee areas, because of the sun exposure my knee became very dark and they were looking very odd. That's why i was using it in my knee areas only, also it was having visible results. 4 5 days back i saw my knees and suddenly i was in shock. My knees are looking very scary. The area where i use to apply the cream the whole area is covered with a dark patch which is 2x darker than before i had. Please help me it is looking very scary and i can't even wear shorts due to this.

Female | 18

The cream you were using might have led to the development of a skin condition known as skin atrophy which causes the skin to become thin and darker. This can occur if certain steroid creams are applied for an extended duration on sensitive areas like the knees. It's vital to discontinue the cream instantly and see a dermatologist for a thorough examination and advice on how to improve the skin condition.

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

I face chicken pox disease from last 3 days and now I feel hot after taking fever medicine

Female | 17

After taking fever medicine, it usually happens that a person feels to be hot. Chickenpox is a virus that causes the manifestation of itchiness all around the body with red spots that turn into blisters. Fever, headache, and tiredness are the most common symptoms. Always remember to drink plenty of fluids to keep your body hydrated. Calamine lotion is useful in alleviating itching. Plenty of rest is essential.

I'm 25 years old and I have very old dark mosquito bite marks and scars on arms and legs. Please tell me how to get rid of it and make it fade.

Female | 25

The marks are the result of the body's response to the mosquito's saliva. They may gradually diminish by themselves over time, however, you can also apply over-the-counter creams with ingredients such as hydroquinone or vitamin E that will help in the process. Remember, use sunscreen and cover your skin to avoid more bites.

i have some acne on my chin

Female | 13

Pimples ofte­n appear on the chin area whe­n skin pores get blocked. Obstructe­d pores trap excess oil and de­ad cells. Red bumps, whitehe­ads, and blackheads form. Hormones, stress, and ce­rtain foods contribute. Gently wash your face twice­ daily. Don't squeeze pimple­s. Use benzoyl peroxide­ or salicylic acid products. Eat nutritious foods, and drink adequate water. The­se steps can improve acne­ on your chin.

My left leg is wounded and have swelling by itching.

Male | 56

Looks like you got a wound in your left leg that’s swollen and itchy. Swelling and itching can occur when the body is healing a wound. It might be infected or irritated. To relieve these symptoms, ensure the wound is clean, use a mild antiseptic, and elevate your leg to reduce swelling. Change dressings frequently to prevent infection.
