Asked for Female | 67 Years

I am a 67 year old female. I’m trying to determine if I have shingles. I have a small red area on my hip, it was slightly itchy when I discovered it this morning, but not since. So far, there’s no blisters, and it has not spread.

I have acne ...tiny bumps on my full face.. since may years...I want to get red from it

Female | 30

Skin conditions that are common to individuals of all ages include acne. It is marked by small bumps on the face and other areas of the body. These bumps are due to blockage of the pores and excessive sebum production. To avoid acne it is necessary to visit a dermatologist who specializes in diseases of the skin. They can prescribe treatments, including creams that you apply directly on the skin or take oral medication as well as other procedures recommended by doctors to make acne go away and not reoccur.

I am 22 year old, I have fungal infection and ringwarm in our intimate area.

Male | 22

You might have a fungal infection in your private parts, known as the ringworm. The condition is characterized by itching, redness, and a ring-like rash occurring in warm moist places. It may get worse when one is sweating. Antifungal creams or powders can be used to treat it. Additionally, keep the affected area clean and dry for quick healing. Visit a dermatologist if the condition persists.

Sir I have a fungal infection in my internal for six months i have used many things like tupe dermiquick 5, ketoconazole,itchaway ,niyomysin, but they don't work

Male | 17

You are probably fighting a fungus that just won’t go away. Fungi are caused by very tiny living things that like warm and wet spots. Symptoms can include itching, redness, and sometimes a rash. Since what you have tried so far has not worked, it is important to see a dermatologist. They might give you stronger drugs or recommend other treatments to help get rid of the infection.

hello i had a infected ingrown toenail removed yesterday afternoon and it’s bruising really bad from the numbing shots and is very sore is that a concern of a infection or

Female | 17

Swelling, pain, and discoloration in the toe are normal after the ingrowing toenail is removed because of the bruising. It may be from the shots that removed the sensation in the area. Don't worry; if it's been a day since the procedure, the formation of a bruise is common. Temperature, severe pain, redness of skin, or the presence of any pus are signs of infection. Follow the recommendations for keeping the region spotless, raising your foot, and taking painkillers. If you think you set out signs of infection, contact a dermatologist.

Female | 26

Allergies that occur are redness, itchiness, and material on the skin. By the way, doing an antihistamine is the best way to deal with the situation. Stop using the gel at once. Use a mild cleanser to wash your face gently. Use an odorless, non-irritating moisturizer to keep the skin moist. Contact a dermatologist if the skin problems continue or get worse.

I am a 25 years old female. I suddenly work up and had herpes and this is the first time, I have never had it or known anyone that has. I haven't kissed anyone in 6 months or more. The last places I was at was work which was a rave last Thursday and on Sunday it was a bit calm. Is it possible I got it from the rave cause I can't understand how I have this rash on my lip and my lips are swollen. I am currently taking Aciclovir tablets and using the cream as well.

Female | 25

Herpes on the lips are called cold sores. They're caused by the herpes simplex virus. This virus spreads through close contact or shared objects like cups and straws. Getting it from the rave is unlikely since the virus doesn't live long outside the body. Taking Aciclovir tablets and using the cream is a great approach! These medications help make the outbreak less severe and shorter. Don't touch or pick at the sores to prevent spreading the virus more. Visit a dermatologist or general physician for further consultation.

I have diagnosed with pcos l have acne want to cure any medication

Female | 25

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can cause annoying acne breakouts. This hormonal condition disrupts your hormone balance, resulting in skin issues like pimples. However, certain medications may provide relief. A dermatologist could prescribe birth control pills or spironolactone to regulate hormones and clear your complexion. Consistently follow your doctor's treatment plan, and your skin should soon appear smoother.

I have athletes feet from 6 years How to get rid from that?

Female | 19

Athlete's foot, a common fungal skin illness, affects your feet. It could cause itchiness, discoloration, peeling, and odor. Keeping feet clean, dry (especially between toes), helps cure it. Use doctor-prescribed antifungal creams or powders diligently. Wear fresh socks, shoes daily. Avoid sharing footwear to prevent spreading infection.

Hello. Roughly one month ago I purchased a home wart removal kit to remove what appeared to be a benign wart on the back of my knee. The nozzle on this device broke during use, spraying an area roughly two inches in diameter on my skin with dimethyl ether. This caused a small superficial frostbite/burn, but didn't take care of the wart so I used another kit afterwards which used a swab rather than a nozzle. After using both of these, the area blistered. This blister quickly popped and fell off on its own after just a day, leaving an area of incredibly raw and bloody skin. I applied neosporin to this area regularly and kept it clean allowing it to heal. It's been a month now and while this area isn't entirely healed, it has protective skin on it now. My issue here is the area has a blotchy dark coloration now, looking almost like bruising. This seems odd to me given that it's been a month now, should I be worried about this coloration? There is no pain at the site, though the skin there is quite thin and rough.

Male | 32

Its natural to experience discoloration in skin especially after a blister or wound has occurred. color changes during the healing process. It could be due to hyperpigmentation which is the increased production of melanin in that area. This can result in a bruise-like appearance.

I had an operation on back side of my head in which the area was infected with an infection called carbuncle and it was cut to remove it and then the skin there regenerated soon, but its 3 years and the hair there hasn't grown yet. the diameter of that are is approx 5cm. Is there any other way to get hair back without hair transplant?

Male | 14

I recommend that you see a dermatologist for this issue. The scar tissue that resulted from the surgery might have injured the hair follicles, thus depriving them of any regrowth. Unfortunately, there is no scientifically based treatment to re-grow hair in scar tissue except by means of a transplant. Some topical treatments may be prescribed by a dermatologist

Common warts ko kese thik kare

Male | 19

Warts appear mostly on the hands and feet. Sometimes they have black dots inside them. Though not harmful, warts can be annoying. You can use over-the-counter salicylic acid to remove them. Keep the area clean and dry. Don't pick or scratch warts, or they may spread. If they don't go away, consult a dermatologist.
