How to get rid of scalp ringworm effectively?

Patient's Query

Hello Doc, I am 23 (male) and I have a ringworm on my scalp for couple of years now, it's very difficult for me as people think im unhygienic but I wash my hair 2 times a day or more during summer. Please help me Doc

Answered by Dr. Anju Methil

Ringworm is a common infection caused by a fungus that can result in red circular patches on the skin. The most effective method for treating this condition is by using antifungal shampoos or creams. Ensure that you keep your scalp clean and dry so as not to transmit it to anyone else by sharing hats or combs. If non-prescription medications fail to work, seek medical attention from a dermatologist.

Just wanna know something,my upper lip is tanned whole the lower is pink which looks weird,want to know what to do in this situation!!

Male | 18

A tanned upper lip and pink lower lip might seem perplexing, but it’s pretty common. The simplest explanation would be sun exposure since our upper lips are generally more affected by the sun than our lower ones are. To tan less and protect your lips, you should always apply sunscreen before going out into the sun; if you want extra protection, use SPF lip balm as well. Eventually, the colors will even themselves out.

How do I get rid of purple stretch marks on bum.

Female | 14

Stretch marks on the­ bum are pretty normal. They happe­n when skin expands rapidly, like during pube­rty, pregnancy, or weight gain. Basically, the marks form whe­n deeper laye­rs tear. To reduce the­ir appearance, moisturize re­gularly with retinol or hyaluronic acid products. Proper nutrition and hydration can lend a hand too. Ke­ep in mind, fading takes time, so stick with the­ routine patiently. The marks look purple­ at first, but gradually lighten over months.

I have a keloid on my chest. It is increasing in size. Is there any treatment for it? Is it curable? Is it life threatening?

Female | 38

Hi!!
Keloid is a benign tumor of Skin which has a very high tendency of recurrence once it's surgically removed.
The preferred treatment is:
- intralesional excision
- Steroid injections 
- Cryosurgery
