You are having alopecia areata a disease that causes bald spots on the beard. The situation is not life-threatening but it can be quite annoying. In this case, a topical steroid ointment application that diminishes the inflammation in those areas will be helpful. Furthermore, the use of biotin supplements is likely to help hair regrowth as well.

What Mouthwash or Pain Relief Product for Mouth Ulcers?
I am 17 years old I have highly pain in mouth ulcer please recommend Mouthwash Pain relief gel or tablet
Dr. Deepak Jakhar
Dermatologist
Answered on 25th Sept '24
Having a painful mouth ulcer can be uncomfortable. For some, the first signs of it manifest as a burning or tingling sensation. However, ulcers can also be induced by emotional stress, or injury to the mouth, or even eating certain food types. As a sedative, a gentle mouthwash that does not contain alcohol should suffice for you to clean the area of an ulcer. Besides, it's also possible to glue a pain relief gel or to swallow a tablet for pain relief. Bloating or blistering, which can be caused by spicy or acidic foods, should also be avoided. These foods may exacerbate your ulcer.

Could a Rainy Season Insect Bite Cause Fever and Pimple?

Answered on 25th Sept '24
You have had a mosquito or some other insect biting you. The white transparent layer could be your body's way of protecting from the bite. Feeling cold and feverish after an insect bite is common as your body fights off any possible infection. Ensure the area is clean and put a mild antiseptic cream on the wound. If you experience any of the alarming signs i.e. increasing pain or redness, see a dermatologist.

Answered on 24th Sept '24
Under your armpits, you seem to have a persistent rash. Your description suggests intertrigo, a fungal infection. When skin rubs together and moisture gets trapped, fungi can thrive. To ease itching, try an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream. Keep the area clean and dry. Avoid tight clothes. Use a gentle, unscented soap. If the rash persists, your dermatologist may prescribe an antifungal cream.

Why Do I Have a Brown Line on Toe Nail from Jogging?
Good evening, I do a lot of cardio like jogging, but I noticed that I may have trauma from jogging. On one of my toe nails, I have a brown line on my third toenail. I’m thinking it may occurred due to the friction of my shoes.
Dr. Archit Aggarwal
Trichologist
Answered on 24th Sept '24
A bruised toenail might explain the brown line you noticed. Repeated pressure and friction from shoes during jogging often cause this issue. Occasionally, bleeding occurs beneath the nail. Discomfort or swelling around the toe may arise. To promote healing, ensure proper shoe fit and provide rest for your toe. Over time, this condition should resolve itself. If not, visit a dermatologist.
