Will washing cause scalp scarring or scabbing?
Will washing his hair scar his scalp or will his scalp scab and heal back to normal?

Answered on 23rd July '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.

The itchy red bumps on your scrotum, buttocks, and thighs could indicate a fungal infection or dermatitis. These areas are prone to such skin issues. While clotrimazole provides temporary relief, the condition keeps recurring. For an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment, consulting a dermatologist is advisable. Meanwhile, maintain hygiene in the affected regions. Avoid scratching to prevent further irritation. Wear loose, breathable clothing to minimize discomfort.

This might be a skin condition such as eczema or dermatitis. Allergies or irritants could be the root causes of these. Do not scratch, use mild soap, and moisturize the areas well. You should consult a dermatologist for appropriate treatment.

I have touched hpv infected surface and I don’t know if it is infected and then my genitals that is I fingered will I get hpv ? I became extremely anxious stressful after googling, can you help
Female | 26
Your concerns about HPV are very well understood. HPV may be spread by skin-to-skin contact. In the event, you have touched a surface that may have been infected with HPV and then your genital area, you could be at risk of getting HPV. Nevertheless, even though a person has HPV, it is possible that they could not show any signs of it. If you're worried, talk to a dermatologist about getting tested.

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.

My name Is Shivani Verma . I am 20 years old . I have been suffering from acne marks and acne for many years now.
Female | 20
Acne marks and acne are worrisome but you are not the only one going through it. Acne occurs when the hair follicles get blocked with oil and dead skin cells. The result of this may be pimples, blackheads, or scars. Here are some steps to help yourself: use a soft cleanser to wash it only twice a day. Opt for non-comedogenic (products that don't block pores) skin care products and avoid the temptation to pop or pick pimples. If the problem persists, the best course is to make an appointment with a dermatologist who will evaluate your incoming visit.

Several reasons for female baldness at the age of 18 include hormonal imbalances, stress factors in one’s life, taking certain medicines and underlying medical conditions. A visit to a hair loss dermatologist will help discover the underlying causes of this condition and recommend suitable treatments. Early intervention frequently results in good outcomes.

Today in the morning I had a little mark like I was bitten by something one at the back of my hand the other near my elbow now both are really swollen and painful but they are not itchy as in the morning what could that be and what do I do cause I'm worried
Female | 18
You may be a victim of an insect or spider bite. In some cases, though, these bites can make a person swell and feel pain. Although it's not itchy right now, the reaction can be different in the future. To help, clean the bites gently with soap and water, apply a cold compress like a cool cloth, and take over-the-counter pain relievers for the discomfort. If the swelling doesn't go away or new symptoms appear, it's better to contact a dermatologist for advice.

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.

Hi doc, I have an added areola around my nipples it's not dark in color it's just a light brownish thing with some little hairs that are growing, I went on my periods fully, but they came early because of the emergency pill I used. I then took two pregnancy tests after seeing the change in my breasts and they were all negative I'm curious now what could cause the change
Female | 24
The emergency pill can cause hormonal changes, and this might result in breast changes such as an extra areola that is light brown with some hairs. Even if the pregnancy tests are negative, there could still be hormonal fluctuations leading to variations in breasts. Most likely, it is nothing serious and will return to normal soon. Watch out for it but if you are worried about anything then feel free to ask a doctor for advice.

I have white hard spots on my balls. They sometimes itch. Do I need to be worried?
Male | 27
Fordyce spots are common, small, raised white bumps on the genitals. They're harmless and don't require treatment. However, if they become itchy or bothersome, you can try using a mild lotion for relief. If the itching worsens or persists, see a dermatologist. Otherwise, there's no need to worry.

My mother and brother have chicken pox. It's been 4 days and taking medicine. I have had this disease before. Is there any possibility of more coming as I am taking care of them? My father is on medication after his stroke. So, can he take preventive medicine? Is there any use in consuming it for so many days? Since we are all in one house, there is a common toilet. Cleaned with Dettol after each use. Is there a problem with that?
Female | 45
It's so cool that you worry about your family's health. As you have already had chicken pox, you are in all probabilities immune to it. Your dad who is in the process of stroke recovery should not use any preventive medicines on his own without consulting with the doctor. It is a good thing to wash the toilet with Dettol to reduce the possibility of the germs spreading. Pure, practicing the supreme rudiments and caring for one another will be enough to get by!

I am 30 years old , I started developing some kind of swollen spot on my penis about 5 different spots and it itches me so much all day
Male | 30
These appearing spots might be due to a rash-like condition called Contact Dermatitis or may even occur as an infection like Folliculitis. The first thing you can do is keep the affected area moisturized and dry in case there is a significant amount of this. However, to be sure, these spots must be seen by a dermatologist to be able to give the appropriate treatment.

Male | 22
The symptoms you described, which include itching, ringworm-like sores, wet blisters, and red/black spots, are characteristic of an allergic reaction. Boils and raised skin on the penis, the waist, and the abdomen may also be linked. Never scratching is the way to go if you want to avoid extra irritation. A calming soothing lotion would be helpful. If the symptoms continue or worsen, it is important to go to the dermatologist for the correct diagnosis and treatment.

I am 22 years old and I am facing with eczema on my finger it's kind of a dry itchy and small swellings on that finger and that spreading on other fingers of my hand too I have tried many creams but it helps temporarily and again the condition continues.. what should I do?
Female | 22
When ignored, eczema can cause dry, itchy skin with small bumps that may spread to other fingers. This condition is usually not contagious but uncomfortable. Eczema may be brought about by allergens or irritants present in the environment or stressors at home or the workplace. To manage this kind of problem, always keep the skin moisturized all the time; avoid anything that triggered the outbreak such as harsh detergent soaps among others–instead use mild ones which are readily available over-the-counter (OTC) drugs like hydrocortisone creams can also work effectively if prescribed by doctors specializing in treating diseases related with epidermis.

It looks like the cream you used has darkened your skin. Some creams can cause changes in skin color. It's best to consult a dermatologist, who can provide detailed advice on solutions and explain them after a thorough examination of your skin. Be extra careful when choosing skin creams.
