What to do about growing white spots on back?

Patient's Query

Hi, my brother is having these white spots on his back right below neck. It was a tiny spot and now it is increasing. What should we do?

Answered by Dr. Anju Methil

Your brother may have a condition called tinea versicolor. It occurs when areas of the skin get discolored with white pigmentation. Since there are yeasts that occur, they are the result of the infection of the skin. The circles get bigger if the weather is warm and wet. Use an antifungal cream or medicated shampoo to help you out. Visit a dermatologist to get a proper solution for his condition.

दाद खाज खुजली से परेशान शरीर के निचले भाग में खुजली की शिकायत है

Male | 34

It seems like a case of fungal infection; a skin condition that may cause itching and redness on the lower part of the skin. It is caused by germs which thrive well in warm and moist areas. Keeping the skin dry and clean, using antifungal creams as well as putting on loose clothes can be helpful. To avoid further irritation, kindly refrain from scratching.

I have (in the last 24 hours) developed unusual blisters on my hands, fingers, nose, and cheek. Two mornings ago I woke up with a fever and chills (it has since subsided) and took Advil to help, but after two rounds of taking it, I noticed the bottle was a few years expired--perhaps this is related?

Male | 23

In the past 24 hours, if you have developed strange blisters around your hands, fingers cheek and nose then it is necessary to see a dermatologist. However, even if the expired Advil has no connection to the blisters, it is still essential never to take any medication after its expiration date. Seek specialized medical care in case your condition does not improve.

I am 24 years old and by mistake I Swallow cool lip. What should I do? It is dangerous or not ?

Male | 24

Accidentally gulping a cool lip gloss can be­ a bit worrying, but do not panic. Small amounts of lip gloss are usually okay to swallow. If you do not feel trouble­ breathing or bad stomach pain, you will likely be fine­. Drink some water to help wash it down your throat. Howe­ver, if you start feeling unwe­ll, contact a doctor for guidance right away.

White patches on my shaft. Painless but lots of them. I have had unprotected sex in the last 7 days. Of course going to get tested but have not seen any pictures online matching. Please advise thanks

Male | 38

White patches on your shaft are around sometimes because of a fungal infection called candidiasis or a disorder like lichen planus. These can show up after sex, especially if unprotected. These can be cured by taking medications ordered by a doctor after proper diagnosis.

Skin care products for dark dry skin types

Female | 20

When dry, dark skin fe­els tight or rough, itchiness happens some­times. This dryness arises due­ to cold air, harsh soaps, and lack of water. Find skin creams containing shea butte­r or glycerin to keep skin soft and hydrate­d. Hyaluronic acid also helps. Use sunscree­n always and drink lots of water. Hot showers damage by stripping natural oils away from the skin. So the­y're best avoided.

Iam 36 years old I have oily skin with open pores I need some moisturizer for.my skin to.look fresh kindly suggest

Female | 36

You need a non-comedogenic moisturiser which doesn’t cause any breakout or add to the oily state of the skin. Squalene, ceramide containing moisturisers which do not block the pores are recommended for oily skin. Please consult a dermatologist for thorough analysis of your skin to get a customised prescription suitable for your skin. Each one has a unique skin and has to use  best suitable products to maintain a healthy skin. Open pores can be reduced by using retinol containing creams at bedtime. If they are severe procedural treatments like laser toning, micro needling radio frequency can help.
