You may be suffering from a scalp abscess, which occurs when bacteria become trapped under the skin, causing an infection. Painful draining sores and a lump on the neck are common symptoms. A dermatologist should be consulted for appropriate treatment even if warm compresses help.

What we do our face have pimples

Female | 41

When you see pimples on your face, don't worry, it's common and usually nothing serious. This occurs if your skin pores are clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Indications may involve red lumps and whiteheads or blackheads. To avoid these pimples wash the face regularly with a mild soap, not always touching it, and use oil-free products for your skin. You can also visit a dermatologist if necessary.

I am 24 years old and yesterday I just feel something under my chin like it feels a swelling and something under my skin

Female | 24

You may have a swelling below your chin. This could be caused by a swollen lymph node. Lymph nodes are small glands that help fight germs. When they swell up, it might mean your body is battling an infection. If the swelling is not painful and you feel fine, you can keep an eye on it. However, if the swelling does not go away or you have other symptoms, it is a good idea to see a dermatologist to find out the cause.

I have too many blemishes on my face

Male | 17

Blemishes can be frustrating, yet they're normal and treatable. Spots or tiny bumps on the skin are classified as blemishes. Clogged pores, bacteria, or hormone fluctuations might cause these. Gently cleansing your face regularly helps. Applying benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid products could improve things. However, avoid popping or squeezing blemishes to prevent scars. If the issue persists, consult a dermatologist for guidance.

Male | 18

You may have itching, and redness in a specific spot on your body. Possible causes: an allergy, bug bite, or irritated skin. Don't scratch! That worsens things. Use a hydrocortisone cream to ease itchiness, and swelling. However, if symptoms continue, see your dermatologist for an exam, and proper treatment.

But my problem is not solved... It's been cleared in some area and grown in other with same moderate symptoms and also eye pain and headache What to do sir / madam please help

Male | 27

Pimples on your forehead and scalp may signify acne. Medicines don't cure it; special treatment is required. Benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid can potentially help. However, Cosvate GM plus cream should be avoided. It might worsen symptoms like pain, itch, and redness. Eye pain, headaches too seems connected to this problem. So, discussing all symptoms with a dermatologist is vital. Get proper evaluation and advice for comprehensive acne management.

It is advisable to wash your face daily, using a gentle cleanser. Touching your face should be avoided. In case no improvements, visiting a dermatologist is an option.

If the marks are just pigmentation-like, they will be corrected in due course of time with the combination of steroids and antibiotics in tropical form, and if it is a depression or scar that has to be addressed with lasers.

White patches can be pityriasis alba which is an allergic reaction due to climatic change that presents dry ill defined white patches or hypopigmented patches commonly seen in children but might also seen in adults as well. The treatment is mild topical steroids like hydrocortisone. Apart from this using sunscreen is important. White patch can also be vitiligo which requires more prolonged treatment. It is always advisable to have proper diagnosis by dermatologist either by online or offline consultation.

I am 21 year old male and my hairline is declining from front and middle. I often smoke. I have used onion oil for months and got good results but after sometimes my hairs started falling out again. How should I stop my hair from falling out and what tests should I prefer to know its hormonal or not ??

Male | 21

You need to give due attention to your hair loss problems. Smoking is one of the reasons for hair loss. Hormone Imbalances are also another factor. Blood tests can help determine if your hormone levels are abnormally high or low. Fatigue and weight shift are some of the symptoms of hormonal imbalance. You may require medications or lifestyle adjustments customized to your condition. Routine dermatologist checks are critical.

I have been facing vaginal itching and inflammation over the past two years. Also on my inner thighs. It comes and goes. As you mentioned i also suspected yeast infection. And i ve been using candida b ointment for over an year now. And still there's no change. It comes and goes all the time. My eyelids also started getting irritated , without any itching. And the infection has not spreaded to anywhere over the past two year. Is there any medication i must try ? Or should i consider any pap smear ?

Female | 24

Vaginal itching and redness could be induced due to several things like yeast infections. If the candid B ointment hasn't done the work, consider other possibilities too. As the infection has not expanded, I diagnose it as a local problem. Make an appointment with a dermatologist for health assessment and treatment suggestions.

Female | 29

Your thyroid and skin issues are connected. Thyroid imbalances often cause dry, dull skin tone changes. Thyroid medication balances hormone levels, potentially improving skin quality gradually. Ensure you take your prescribed doses regularly and follow up with a dermatologist routinely. This helps rejuvenate your inner well-being, and outer appearance alike.

Dark black spot at both corners of my lip. I have tried to treat it, but to no effect yet.

Dark black spots in the corners of the lip can be removed using RF cautery under local anesthesia, or can use some other clinical treatment too, but before any assumptions are made, examination is a must. You can connect with any dermatologist in Navi Mumbai to solve this issue.

I AM GOING TO PROVIDE YOU A REPORT I JUST WANT TO KNOW THE POSSIBLE REASON BEHIND THE CONDITION AND WHAT EXACTLY THE IMPRESSION MEANS AND ALSO IS IT SERIOUS ISSUE LIKE CANCER AND AUTO IMMUNE DISEASE. HERE IS THE REPORT.... USG LOCAL REGION CLINICAL HISTORY-Swelling in right submandibular region since 1 month. H/o surgical procedure a month back. ON USG SCANNING- There is evidence of heterogeneous predominantly hypoechoic thick walled collection in subcutaneous soft tissue region in right submandibular region measuring 3 x 0.8cm (2cc). It shows mobile internal echoes and peripheral vascularity. Surrounding soft tissue is shows thickening. The collection is 1.7mm deep to the skin surface. Prominent submandibular lymphnode measuring 13 x 6mm and few prominent cervical lymphnodes largest measuring 16 x 8mm are noted on right side.

IMPRESSION: SUBCUTANEOUS ABSCESS FORMATION AT THE SITE OF SUBMANDIBULAR SWELLING WITH REACTIVE CERVICAL AND SUBMANDIBULAR LYMPHADENOPATHY.

Male | 25

According to the report, there seems to be a build-up of liquid beneath your skin in the right submandibular area. This is likely an abscess causing swelling and soreness. The report also notes swollen lymph nodes in your neck region. Swollen lymph nodes often indicate your body fighting an infection. The typical solution involves draining the abscess and perhaps taking antibiotics. This issue is unrelated to cancer or autoimmune disorders. Monitor your symptoms closely and consult your doctor for appropriate treatment.

You have dermatitis. It makes your skin red, itchy, and swollen. Allergies, irritants, or hereditary reasons can cause it. To reduce the symptoms, use mild skincare products, avoid triggers and keep the skin moist. Additionally, learn to control your stress levels and eat well-balanced meals. If they persist, consult a dermatologist.
