The symptoms you’re experiencing suggest inflammation, possibly due to an injury, infection, or a condition like arthritis. Swelling and discoloration are common responses as your body tries to heal. It's essential to keep the finger elevated and apply ice to reduce swelling. Over-the-counter pain relievers can also help manage discomfort. However, if the condition worsens, or if you notice additional symptoms like fever or persistent pain, it’s important to seek medical attention. A dermatologist can provide the appropriate diagnosis and treatment to ensure a complete recovery.

I am a 30-year-old female and have acne scars on my face. I would like to know the possible causes and treatment options for these scars. Could a dermatologist provide me with some guidance?
Male | 30
Acne is a consequence of the body's protective work against infection. Acne can be a downer to the shape or softness of your skin. There are some types: atrophic (depressed) and hypertrophic (raised) scars being the major ones. Several treatment options are available, such as topical treatments, chemical peels, microneedling, or laser therapy, all with your skin and the concerns thereof in mind. A dermatologist can diagnose your medical condition and tell you the best method for smoother skin.

I have blisters on my perineum for 4 days. No discharge, no bleeding . The pain comes and goes . I have never had this before please assist
Female | 26
Blisters can be due to friction, an allergic reaction, or even a viral infection like herpes. No discharge or bleeding has been reported, therefore, it is more likely that it is not an infection. Keeping the area clean and dry and avoiding tight clothes will be the simplest way to do so. However, it is still better to consult a dermatologist in case the blisters persist or get worse.

The head of my penis is itchy, and there are red spots on it. I havent had sex with multiple people at least 2 years, and my girlfriend is also faithful. Basicly it is not something too serios i guess. But still it is enoying and hurting a little bit also. So i need help figuring out what to do?
Male | 18
You might have balanitis, which is capable of causing itching, red spots, and also discomfort on the head of the penis. Balanitis can occur due to the lack of proper hygiene, irritants, or infections. To assist with this, clean the area with mild soap and water, keep it dry, and avoid irritants like scented soaps or tight clothes. If the symptoms remain, it is advisable to visit a dermatologist for a more detailed diagnosis and treatment.

I am 24 years old girl . I have low vitamin d3 when I get it checked in February and from that time I m taking supplements . All other things are normal .But after 5 month itself my hair fall does not stop at all.I m suffering from high hairfall .
Female | 24
Sometimes not having enough vitamin D3 can cause people to lose their hair. You should keep taking the vitamin D supplement as the doctor told you. You should try to eat more foods that have iron and protein in them as well. One thing that might help is finding ways to relax when you are stressed.

Chest emblems please give me answers
Male | 18
Chest emblems, or markings, can come about naturally and can be associated with various causes, such as allergic reactions, skin infections, or dermatitis. Typical symptoms include redness, itching, and the appearance of a rash. It would be helpful to keep the area clean and well-moisturized and avoid irritants. Over-the-counter creams can help alleviate the discomfort. Nevertheless, one should be very careful to watch after the symptoms. If these signs do not go away, get worse, or are accompanied by more worried signs, it is better to consult a dermatologist for proper advice.

Male | 36
It sounds like you could be experiencing balanitis, inflammation of the foreskin of the penis, often caused by irritation or a yeast infection. Symptoms may include white pimples, swelling, and itchiness. Keeping the area clean and dry, avoiding irritants, and using over-the-counter antifungal cream can help relieve symptoms. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, it's crucial to seek immediate advice from a dermatologist for detailed assessment and medical treatment.

I am 18 years old and my lips are okay they are pinj but the area under my nose commonly known as upper lips is dark and gets more dark during summers ....this is not because of hair growth on upper lips but i dont know why its getting darker ...i have tried so many remedies like icing honey and all but that didnt work ...and it gets rough ...without putting cream on that surface i cannot survive because of its roughness
Female | 18
The dark spots could be from more melanin, which happens when the sun hits your skin. The rough feel might be dry skin. To help, try using a soft cream with SPF to keep your skin from the sun and wet. Also, remember to drink lots of water. You can also visit a dermatologist if the problem doesn't go away.

i am 20 female and i am experiencing symptoms that can be caused by an allergic reaction
Female | 20
You might be having an allergic reaction. The immune system's hypersensitivity is one of the major causes of allergic reactions and it can go as far as responding to something harmless, e.g., some foods, dust, and pollen. The most common symptoms are sneezing, itching, hives, swelling, or trouble breathing. To help with this, look for the exact substance you were in contact with and try to refuse it. Visit a dermatologist if the condition does not improve.

I have black neck from a very long time I really want a cure for it
Male | 16
Acanthosis Nigricans is what you are suffering from, a skin condition that causes your neck to darken compared to the rest of your body. This may occur if you are obese or have diabetes. It is important to work on reducing your weight and controlling your blood sugar levels. A balanced diet, regular exercise, and maintaining the cleanliness of your skin can gradually improve this problem.

Female | 21
It seems as if you may be suffering from severe hair loss. It may as well have been caused by many factors like stress, hormonal changes or a disease. I would suggest visiting a dermatologist, who could examine your scalp and diagnose the reason for hair loss. They can then develop a customized treatment plan for you

A cat bite on my foot very small signs appear no pain just few little drops of blood when I press the wound. Minor pain if i feel no swear pain. Need advise.
Female | 35
It is fantastic that you sweat the details about your wound with highly microscope-like attention to detail. The small bleeding and mild discomfort may mean it's a minor injury that is usually due to a cat bite. Carefully facilitate the part of the body with a soapy lotion, to avoid the infection-causing phenomenon. After you have done that, a light application of a non-prescription antibiotic ointment and a bandage should suffice. Be aware of signs of infection like more redness or swelling, and if these signs are present, seek immediate assistance from a dermatologist before the condition worsens.

My dad has a white patch near chest. Is it worrisome
Male | 62
A white patch on the neck could be a condition called pityriasis versicolor, caused by yeast growth on the skin. It usually leads to white patches without other symptoms. Anti-fungal creams or shampoos prescribed by a dermatologist can help treat it. Keeping the area clean and dry is also important.

Female | 21
It sounds like you might be experiencing recurring symptoms, which can be frustrating. Infections can be caused by various factors, including bacteria or viruses, and may result in symptoms like pain, fever, or discomfort. It’s important to identify the specific type of infection, as different treatments are required. I recommend consulting a dermatologist who can perform thorough evaluations and possibly suggest a tailored treatment plan. Keeping hydrated, maintaining good hygiene, and following medical advice are key steps in your recovery.

I am an 39 year old lady I am having dark acne , my chin is so black I am having black heads and white heads my skin is getting to dull . How these all problems believe my face? Hope you can help me
Female | 39
This could be because you have blackheads and whiteheads. They can be the ones that dull your skin. Acne is caused by the build-up of clogged pores, too much oil, and bacteria. Washing your face with a gentle cleanser, not squeezing the pimples, and using non-comedogenic skincare products that won't clog pores are some ways to help. Visit a dermatologist for more tips.

I am arpita im 17 years old my skin suffering from dullness nd even skin tone nd not even glow nd hydration
Female | 17
It seems like your skin is not glowing and lacks moisture. These issues may be due to other reasons such as lack of proper hydration, non-use of sunscreen, or dry location. One of the best things to do in this respect is to ensure that your skin takes in enough water, use a good moisturizer that is not too harsh, and eat a healthy diet by including fruits and vegetables. Use sunblock when outdoors to keep your skin protected from the sun. These actions may improve your skin and consequently, you may have radiant skin.

Male | 24
Itchy and red rashes are some of the common signs of sensitivity when your skin's non-acceptance is projected. This might be due to the presence of certain chemicals in the spray to which your skin is sensitive. Perhaps, you should try a gentle body lotion to reduce the itching and rashes.

How to glow my skin and face?
Male | 20
To ensure healthy and shining skin, it is imperative to establish a consistent and appropriate skincare regimen. Use a mild face wash to cleanse; moisturizing regularly, and using sunscreen to safeguard from sunburns are also important. Using a scrub at least once/twice a week or a face mask would be nice. Thus, you remove dead skin cells to renew it

Female | 20
The burning or pain you might be feeling is from the drugs you are using. To relieve the discomfort, you can use a mild soothing cream such as Vaseline or aloe vera gel which will help to ease the irritation and give some relief. Ensure that the region is kept dry and clean to quicken the healing process.

Female | 34
Your wife may be suffering from a known ailment named eczema. Eczema is a skin disease that can cause patches and itching all over the body, including the ears and eyes. It happens when the skin doesn't function as a good barrier. Skin hydration is a key factor to always remember. One way to avoid allergies is by using mild soaps and non-irritating materials. If the symptoms do not go away, get checked by a dermatologist.

Acne on the nose typically appears as red bumps or pimples, often due to clogged pores from excess oil, bacteria, or dead skin. To improve your skin, maintain a gentle cleansing routine, use non-comedogenic products, and consider topical treatments with ingredients like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. Staying hydrated and eating a balanced diet can also help. If your condition worsens or persists, please schedule an appointment with a dermatologist.
