Dermatologyy

Answered by Dr. Parul Khot

Age spots are seen in people above 40 years, are larger brown/ black /grey flat patches on face and hands on exposed areas. No treatment is required, if they are multiple and patient doesn't mind them. Sunscreens prescribed by the dermatologist have to be used on face and exposed areas.

What happened if I accidentally swallow 3 pouches of cool lip? What are medthods to prevent this?

Male | 30

Swallowing three of those cool lip pouches could be harmful. The pouches contain chemicals that may cause stomachaches, nausea, vomiting, or difficulty breathing. Make sure such products are always kept away from children and animals. If someone does this, have them drink lots of water to dilute what they gulped down and call Poison Control right away.

Acne is common, causing pimples and oily skin. Hair follicles get blocked with oil and dead skin cells. You can try soap with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. These ingredients unplug pores and reduce acne. Gently wash your face, avoid harsh scrubbing.

Tinea versicolor can be treated with antifungal creams. Please apply it to the affected area twice a day for 2 weeks. If you don't see any improvement, please try oral antifungal. Also, keep the area dry and clean and avoid wearing tight clothes as this can make the affected area sweaty. If the problem does not go away still, please consult a doctor for the same.

I'm suffering from scalp folliculitis since 2 years . I have consumed various medication as advised earlier (Tablet doxycycline, tablet metronidazole, tablet clindamycin,tablet isotretinoin).these medications ka affective only till I take the medicine and then the pustules reappear. These are very painful and very itchy .

Female | 21

This is when the hair follicles on your head become infected leading to painful sores with pus which are also itchy. I can see that the drugs that you have used before don’t seem to work well for you in the long run. One should visit a dermatologist who might prescribe stronger medications or other treatments such as medicated shampoos or creams for clearing up these infections and preventing their recurrence.

i am 26 ,my sweat,saliva,tears,vagina discharge smells the same not a normal smell

Female | 26

It seems you might have trimethylaminuria, also known as "fish odor syndrome." This condition happens when your body can't break down trimethylamine, leading to a fishy smell in sweat, saliva, tears, and vaginal discharge. There's no specific medication for this, but you can manage it by avoiding certain foods like fish and eggs. It's best to consult a specialist like a dermatologist or a metabolic disorder expert to get a professional opinion and proper guidance.

Pimple on penis shaft, not blister.

Male | 42

A tiny bump arises on your penis shaft. Wait, it's not a blister! Such pimples are pretty typical there. Likely a blocked hair follicle caused this little growth. Look for redness or discomfort around it. To help it heal faster, keep your privates fresh and airy. Don't squeeze or poke at the bump! Wear loose, comfy undies too. If the swelling persists or worsens, visit a dermatologist.

You may be suffering from alopecia areata. This is a condition where the immune system attacks the hair follicles leading to hair loss. It is usually sudden and appears as a bald patch on the scalp.
