It sounds like you are having a very annoying itch and feeling uncomfortable not only due to the skin irritation but also due to the secondary infections or probably the reinfestation, besides. Maybe eradication of scabies is not always that easy. Be sure to launder all the clothes, and bed linens on a hot wash to kill the remaining mites. Also, think of another treatment application one week after the first one for a better cure. If any symptoms are still there consult a dermatologist for personalized advice.

Hi I am a 16 year old male. I have had these 2 bumps on my foreskin I’m just wondering if it is penile cancer. They are whiteish. It doesn’t cause pain or bleeding or anything until a few days ago when I tried to one of them.
Male | 16
Those bumps on your foreskin might be Fordyce spots, not cancer. Fordyce spots are small, whitish-yellow bumps that sometimes show up on genitals. They're harmless, common, and usually painless. You shouldn't pick or pop them. If you're worried, talk to a dermatologist to get checked out. But chances are, it's nothing serious.

Red rases in my face nd it’s itching. And itching in my scalp nd hair white issue
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'm 25 years old and have developed a rash on my ankle. It started really small and has increased massively since returning from holiday. It's extremely itchy and uncomfortable.
Male | 25
You have developed contact dermatitis. This is a condition caused when the skin reacts to something it has touched, such as a new lotion or plant. The affected area usually becomes red, swollen, and itchy with small blisters or hives. Try to remember if there was anything different that you came into contact with before the rash appeared. To relieve itching apply cold compresses and mild lotions. If there are no changes after several days, see a dermatologist for help.

I have skin problem since 15 years. For I have taken melanocyl ointment and tablet for 4 months, after this now I mfacing skin ulcer like symptoms and blister, how can I cure this?
Female | 28
Your skin condition seems worrisome. The medication might not work or you may react adversely. Ulcers and blisters indicate allergy or severe skin issues. Stop using ointment and tablets right now. Consult a dermatologist urgently for proper treatment.

I am a boy and I am 22 years old. I have a lot of itching under and around my penis. More this summer. Been using Ringguard for a long time. When I use the ointment it goes away. If left out it itches again. Tell me how to get rid of it
Male | 22
You may have jock itch, a fungal infection. Itching around the penis is a symptom. It grows in warm, moist areas, so summer can cause it. Ringguard helps, but it may return. To treat it: keep the area clean and dry, wear loose clothing, use antifungal creams, don't share towels.

Why does my tip of my scrotum have a rash looking redness as well as my testicles appear to be very red and is itchy?
Male | 17
You may have jock itch, a fungal issue. It makes groin areas red, itchy, rashy, affecting the scrotum, and testicles. In warm, moist places let it grows. Try drugstore anti-fungal creams. Clean, and dry the zone to avoid return. Jock itch thrives when sweaty, warm. Over-the-counter creams help clear up the fungus rapidly. However, keeping areas dry is crucial. That prevents future jock itch flare-ups. So cleanliness matters alongside medication.

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.

Hi ! My Name is Hasham and when I was 3 year old my body color change the brown spots suddenly appear on my full body please doctor help me please give me any solution so I get rid of that spots
Male | 24
You may be talking about a condition called vitiligo. Whenever your skin is damaged, the cells that are responsible for giving it its color get destroyed and this results in white or brownish spots on the skin. This could be a result of many factors including genetics or autoimmune diseases. Even though there is no known cure for vitiligo yet, there are treatments such as lotions and light therapy that can help to manage these patches and make them less noticeable. Make sure that you see a dermatologist so that you can learn more about the available options.

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 pain in my body where veins are more visible especially in joints like pricking with pin
Female | 17
You may be experiencing the pain and visibility of veins in your joints as if they are being pricked with a needle. This can happen because of the inflammation of the joints or the tissues surrounding them. It may be connected with diseases such as arthritis. The best thing to do is to rest the joint, put ice on it, and take over-the-counter pain relievers. Gentle stretching exercises can also be beneficial. If the pain persists, it's a good idea to schedule a visit with a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

Hello doctor! I have a daughter and she is 4months old.. She is having skin allergy on cheeks.. Dry, itchy, and sometimes water comes out on her skin due to continues itching. Please suggest some cream. I have used atogla, cetaphil, fucidin.. But condition is still the same.
Female | 4
If the rash is occurring on cheek in 3-4 months old child is most probably due to atopic dermatitis which is dry irritated skin condition resulting in itching and oozy skin. This might also effect other body parts like face, neck, front of elbows, back of knees and child might become irritated. It has to be managed with syndate bars or soaps, proper moisturizers, avoiding the irritants and oral or topical steroids. Proper consultation with dermatologist is advisable.

Male | 30
You might be dealing with allergies, which could be contributing to your constant sneezing. The whitening of hair can be related to various factors, including stress or genetics. I recommend visiting an allergist for sneezing and an endocrinologist or dermatologist for your hair concerns to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.
