Why is my thumb nail not growing properly?
About my thumb in my thumb nail is not growing and 2 lines are there

Answered on 28th Jan '25
The lack of growth and the presence of lines can occur due to several factors, such as stress, nutritional deficiencies, or trauma to the area. Often, these issues are temporary and resolve on their own. However, it’s essential to ensure you’re getting proper nutrients and managing stress effectively. If the condition persists or worsens, I recommend consulting a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized advice. They can provide insights and solutions tailored to your specific needs.

This might be due to many factors such as infections or irritation. Common signs and symptoms consist of redness, pain, and at times discharge. It is important to keep the area clean and dry.

I am suffering from a skin problem from the last 2 years. I have red circles and itching in my private parts. What should I do now? I have been taking medicines and ointments from the last 2 years. Still it is not cured. What should I do now?
Male | 17
The skin problem which is presented with red circles & itching in the private parts is most likely due to the fungal infection. Nowadays there are lots of such problems in fungal infections in terms of the resistance of fungal infections and also in terms of the duration of treatment that is required. Ideally, you need to go through the antifungal treatment and go to the dermatologist who will guide you with the right anti-fungal treatment for a prolonged period of time. Till all the rashes go back because even if a few rashes are also left it will come back. That is why visit the nearest dermatologist.

Face pimple itching and redness and spots what can use medicine to relif pimple 2 month ago I am very tens
Female | Zeenat
The skin’s pores can often get clogged by bacteria or hormonal changes. If a pimple is bothering you, try an acne spot treatment with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to reduce inflammation and clear the pores. Remember to cleanse your face twice a day with a gentle cleanser, and avoid picking at the pimple to prevent scarring.

Male | 24
It seems that dandruff might be one of the conditions. The main symptom of dandruff is itching, and white particles of skin can be seen on hair. Sometimes, this condition might also produce red patches on the face, especially around the hairline area. The pathogen fungi on your scalp cause dandruff. For example, choose a shampoo that is specifically designed for dandruff. In particular, washing hair regularly along with the stress management procedure may also be beneficial for you.

I am 19 years old .i am starting to have pimples on my pelvis area
Male | 19
Pimples in the pelvic region can be caused by various factors like hormone changes, perspiration, friction from clothing, or otherwise clogged pores. These humps may show up in red color as well as inflamed state and possibly they may be itchy. Falling into the routine of maintaining good hygiene by keeping the area clean and dry, using breathable fabrics, and allowing the use of over-the-counter creams to soothe the skin can discourage the development of the condition. But if the problem does not improve or the condition gets worse, you must consult a dermatologist for your underlying conditions.

Does wound sting if you put a NaCL?
Female | 18
If you put salt (NaCl) on a cut it may hurt a bit. The reason for this is that salt is able to kill germs. Therefore if you rub salt in a wound it will only be painful temporarily. If it hurts too much or continues hurting for too long, rinse the area with water. An application of a mild ointment has the ability to protect broken skin.

I am 18 years old When I pull my hair from my head most of the time two to three hairs come out is it normal.
Male | 18
You can lose a few strands when you gently pull your hair out and that's normal. Every hair has its pattern of growing and shedding. In case you are losing only two to three hairs at the time you don't have a reason to be concerned. Generally, more hair comes out, and spotting bald spots on the scalp, is a good suggestion to talk about your case with a dermatologist.

I have a big red green bite on my bum cheek. Its getting bigger sore. And i am getting shortness of breath and joint pain
Female | 28
You are likely suffering from cellulitis, which is an infection. This can happen when bacteria enter the body through an injury or insect bite. The infection usually causes redness, swelling, and pain in the affected area. Besides these symptoms, you may also feel severe pain. If the infection spreads, it can lead to serious issues like shortness of breath and joint pain. It is crucial to get antibiotic treatment immediately to stop the infection.

I am 27 years. I have a problem with my mouth and tongue. Sometimes. When im stress my tongue will retract. And now, i have lot of canker sore in my mouth and tongue. What should i do to make it heal faster. Thanks
Female | 27
Canker sores are small, painful ulcers that are so troublesome that one can find it hard to speak or eat. Stress can be a possible reason for them as well. To promote healing, try rinsing your mouth with salt water about three times a day. Try to avoid spicy and acidic foods that can aggravate the sores. Regularly brushing your teeth and mouth can also speed up the healing process.

I have infection from last 1 week almost in my penis foreskin
Male | 19
It seems likely that you might be feeling issues like swelling, redness, or pain in the area. Infections can occur due to many factors, such as bad hygiene, irritation, or sexually transmitted diseases. It is highly important to keep the hygiene level by washing the area very gently with a mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or irritants as much as possible. Still, based on your symptoms' long-term duration and their precise nature, I truly advise you to consult a urologist for a full examination and further treatments.

Female | 33
It sounds like you may have eczema, a common skin condition that can cause itching, redness, and irritation. To determine if this is the case, you should see a dermatologist. The dermatologist can recommend an appropriate treatment plan that may include topical medications, light therapy, or oral medications. Additionally, lifestyle changes can help to manage symptoms including avoiding potential triggers, wearing loose fitting clothing, and using a humidifier in your home.

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 using minoxidil since 2 month. After using this my hair line is more visible what can I do ?
Male | 25
This might happen sometimes as a side effect. Minoxidil could cause increased hair fall before new hair starts to grow. The most important thing is to wait because this shedding usually is temporary. If you are worried, it’s better to continue using the medicine as directed and consult your doctor for more advice.

It sounds like you're experiencing significant hair loss and thinning, especially on the top of your head. This can be due to factors like stress, poor diet, genetics, or certain medical conditions. To address this, try eating a balanced diet, managing stress, and using gentle hair care products.

Male | 16
The black lines on your nails may be due to a condition called linear melanonychia. To describe it in layman's terms, it can be a black or brown streak on your nail. It can result from traumas to the nail, mole, or even some medications. If such a symptom appears, it is best to get it checked by a dermatologist for safety.

Ear canal pimples can occur due to the oil build-up and dead skin cells blocking the way. The initial and most common sign usually is pain, also you may experience a little bit of tenderness and itchiness in that region. To help it, try putting a warm compress on the area, and do not squeeze or pick at it. If the problem persists or increases, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist.
