If laser is used for hair removal then change in skin color and skin irritation are the possible side effects which you risk running into. If laser is used for skin treatment, then in that case you could experience side effects such as Burns or other injuries from the laser's heat, scarring, changes in the skin color, and bacterial infection. Number of sessions would depend on doctor's assessment and what region you want treated for what purpose.

Hello Sir! Around last two years, i am experiencing experiencing excessive sweating on my body as well as face. Few months ago, i checked up for thyroid test that was normal. Further my blood pressure was checked up which was 130/76. How can it be reduced to normal conditions?

Male | 23

Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, on the other hand, can arise from a large number of causes like anxiety, hormonal fluctuations even certain medications. Your thyroid and blood pressure readings are normal so we should move on to other causes like stress or diet. Keep your body cool, use breathable fabrics, and don't forget about relaxation techniques like deep breathing or yoga, and you will reduce sweating. If it gets worse, you should talk to the doctor about it first.

Hi doctor, I'm experiencing skin redness and severe itching. and it's really uncomfortable. Please let me know about regarding the cause and medications if any thanks

Male | 25

You’re dealing with a skin problem known as eczema. Eczema can make the skin red and extremely itchy because it’s inflamed. You should use mild skin care products regularly and moisturize often to help yourself. If you need relief, try using some over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream. Don’t scratch or it will get worse. In case these signs don’t go away or become worse, see a dermatologist for more help.

Sure, body odor tends to be a result of over-perspiration and not bathing often. There are however a variety of OTC products that can be used for reducing the odor, but it is often useful to first see a dermatologist to be sure of a diagnosis and a solution.

Hello docto I'm noticing some uneven skin tone on my face and hands. They also appear darker than the rest of my body. Can you help me understand what might be causing this?" And also some pimples on my face can you give a solution??

Male | 16

Darker areas on your skin may be hyperpigmentation. This common issue happens when the skin makes too much pigment. Sun exposure, hormones, or irritation can cause it. As for pimples, they come from clogged pores and extra oil. To help, use a gentle face wash, sunscreen, and products with ingredients like retinol or niacinamide. These can even out skin tone and unclog pores. You can also visit a dermatologist for a proper treatment.

I am 30 years old. I am a PCOD patient and have lots of facial hair as well as on chin and neck. I want to do laser hair removal. Please tell me the cost of full face hair removal and is it effective?

Female | 30

Laser hair removal is a very effective way to reduce unwanted facial hair. It works by targeting the pigment in the hair follicle, which is why it is most effective on those with dark, coarse hair. It may require multiple treatments to achieve desired results, and many people find that laser hair removal is a permanent solution to their unwanted facial hair.

The cost of full face laser hair removal varies depending on the provider, location, and size of the area being treated.

I am 29 years old female suffering from ringworm/ bacterial scalp infection. I have consulted family doctor. He suggested flucolab -150 and some other medicine too. I am worried about hair fall and bald patches on skin. Please recommend shampoo to reduce redness and infection

Female | 29

Bacterial infection and ringworm are two different things. Ringworm is fungal infection that presents rings generally over the areas where there is more sweating like thigh area, under the breast or armpit area and that is to be treated by anti-fungal medication for long time like 1-2 months. Bacterial infection is the one which is present with the puss and boils and has to be treated with antibiotics. Fungal infection on the scalp is very uncommon in adults and its only a problem of pre-school children. Proper diagnosis is required for the treatment to work. Consult a dermatologist for the same.

Can stress cause bruising

Female | 23

Worry does not leave marks on your skin. However, it may cause restlessness. Restless people sometimes scratch or bump into objects. This can result in bruises forming. Feeling tense weakens your body's defenses. A weakened immune system makes bruising more likely. To prevent stress-related bruising, you should find ways to relax. Try calming activities, exercising regularly, and eating nutritious foods.

Male | 52

These symptoms can sometimes be caused by conditions like dehydration, oral thrush, or even a skin condition. It's nice that you took the anti-fungal medicine, however, if it did not work, there might be another problem. Schedule an appointment with a dermatologist so they can evaluate your symptoms and give you the most appropriate advice and treatment. Also, this thing can be relieved by water intake which is very important in this.

I have a red spot under my big toenail.

Female | 20

A red spot beneath your toenail indicates subungual hematoma. It must have happened from an injury that caused bleeding under the nail. That red spot is trapped blood. Leave it be if it's painless. Your nail will grow out in months. However, if it really hurts, visit a dermatologist.

I have purple spots on my arm but i feel any pain

Male | 20

Red-purple dots may appear on your arm. They don't hurt. These come from tiny blood vessels bursting close to the skin's surface. This condition is called purpura. Purpura can happen due to small injuries or randomly. Most cases go away without treatment. However, if more spots show up, or other symptoms occur, or if purpura persists, you should see a dermatologist. This can rule out underlying health issues causing these spots.

Female | 19

A Jock itch is a skin swelling or rash that is caused by a fungus. For fading scars, use creams or ointments prescribed by a doctor. The area should be kept clean and dry. To avoid getting it again, wear loose clothes, change underwear daily, and do not share towels. Do not scratch the rash. If it fails to improve, consult a dermatologist.

You may have hives. Hives are caused when something bothers your body. This something can be food, plant, or dust. When your body dislikes these things, it makes hives. The hives move around your body and come and go. To feel better with hives, stay away from things that bother you. You can take medicine to stop the itching. Drink lots of water and get plenty of rest.

My husband suffering red patches on his neck nd under neck side 2 days after it spread in nose side pls suggest how to cure

Male | 48

Red patches have appeared on your husband's neck, under his chin—a bothersome sight! When spreading to the nose area, it may indicate contact dermatitis, a skin condition caused by exposure to an irritant. To relieve discomfort, have him avoid the irritant, gently cleanse the affected areas with water, and apply soothing creams like aloe vera or hydrocortisone. If symptoms persist, it's best to consult a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

can bad hair affect your thinking or even hair grease/oil?

Male | 31

Your thought process will not be directly affected by having bad hair, oily hair, or even grease on it. But it might divert your attention if you don’t feel okay because of such problems. Hair becomes greasy when not washed frequently or much oil is used. To solve this problem, ensure you wash with mild shampoo now and then and minimize the number of hair products applied.

I'm 24 years old . Last year onwards I'm getting bad acne and Breakout from the Cetaphil cleanser and most of the products are breaking me out. I'm having open pores and comedones , dark spots of past acne and every day new emergence of postules with white tip.

Female | 24

The complaints you're listing - acne reasons such as open pores, comedones, dark spots, and white-tipped pimples - represent the first stages of acne. Specific medications or personal care items that you use can worsen acne. You can improve your skin using mild, non-comedogenic cleansers and oil-free moisturizers. Steer clear of products that contribute to the blockage and irritation of the skin. If the acne does not improve, a dermatologist would be the best person to talk to for more recommendations.

Topical creams having retinoids, glycolic acid, and vitamin C are quite helpful in fading away the appearance of the scars. Nevertheless, you need to confer with a dermatologist if you are going to opt for a skin cream and the specialist can guide you with a better treatment plan that is unique to your type of skin and the extent of your scars.

Male | 25

You are going through itching and redness, which could be different things. Skin irritants, allergies, insect bites, or eczema are a few of the common causes. To relieve yourself, use mild moisturizers, cold compresses, and over-the-counter antihistamines. If you continue scratching it may cause further irritation, so don't do that. If these signs do not go away or get worse then make a point of visiting a dermatologist.
