Ringworm on hips last 6 months, diabetic also.

Female | 49

You might have got ringworm on your hips. Ringworm is a fungal infection that can cause a problem on the skin. People with diabetes are at risk of getting it. Symptoms consist of patches on your skin that are red, itchy, and scaly. To treat it, you can use antifungal creams or ointments, but it's important to keep your blood sugar levels in check to help your body fight the infection.

I have Fungal dermatitis on my face, neck & back and it won’t go away. I’m not sure the cause (cessation of birth control, overuse of other products, diet, etc) but when I treat it with anti-fungal products it sometimes diminishes, but keeps returning. This has gone on for 6 months. Can someone PLEASE point me in the right direction?

Female | 32

You may have a persistent form of fungal dermatitis. There are symptoms such as red itchy patches on the back, neck, and face. The fungus does well on the skin in warm places with lots of moisture. The causes can be triggered by changes in hormones, using too much products, or eating habits. Keep the areas clean and dry should be done to solve this problem. It would worsen the condition if heavy oils or creams are applied because of this reason. Also, make sure anti-fungal medications are used as directed only. Do not share personal items like clothes and towels with others if you don’t want them to get infected. If the condition does not go away, please visit a dermatologist.

I am 37 years old female suffering from sticky skin syndrome .my whole skin becomes sticky.i am not getting any treatment bcoz doctors are clueless about this condition.i don't know emwhich redirection create this symptoms.i need help doctor who can treat me in india

Female | 37

This could be a case of hyperhidrosis, a condition where the body produces more sweat than normal. Sticky skin may also occur in humid weather or when one is sweating excessively. You can try using antiperspirants or powders to keep the skin dry. Drink plenty of water and put on loose-fitting clothes made from breathable materials. If the stickiness persists, it would be best to consult with a dermatologist who will provide personalized advice and treatment options.

Lesions on pennis , like cuts and skin was ruptured

Male | 24

You might get them from rough handling during sex, infections, or any skin conditions. People get cuts on their penises in many ways. To heal them, you need to wash the area and protect it from getting irritated more. You can also use a plain skin cream without perfume in it. If it does not get better or it gets worse, see a dermatologist right away.

I am 34 yrs old female and I have acne and acne marks problem on my face - recently my face has been very dry and acne is coming also I have tight white pores issue which is making my skin look very dull and uneven.

Female | 34

As you are 34 years old, there might be some hormonal issues leading to acne. Consult local dermatologist for treatment who might prescribe you some topical antibiotics benzoyl peroxide or daplin or oral drugs depending upon the situation. It is advisable to use moisturizers, particularly water-based that do not uproot the pores because medication usage might result in dryness and little irritation. Your Skin will be much better after the treatment for Acne.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution for dark spots and pigmentation on the face. The best approach is to visit a dermatologist to get a personalized treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs. The dermatologist may recommend a combination of topical medications, light treatments, and laser therapy to help minimize the appearance of discoloration.

PCOD can trigger the hormonal imbalance which in turn causes hair loss. Some signs are irregular menstruation and acne. To promote new hair growth, you can try consuming a balanced diet full of fruits and vegetables, controlling stress, and keeping a normal weight. You may talk to your doctor about possible therapies for hair growth as well.

I am facing acne issues in face and they are leaving marks as well on face.

Female | 28

Many people deal with acne. These are small red pimples that appear on the face. Sometimes these pimples go away but leave behind ugly marks. They happen when oil mixes with dead skin cells and blocks the tiny holes in your skin. To avoid this, cleanse your face every day using mild soap, and don’t squeeze the spots. Additionally, you may want to seek help from a skin specialist who can offer more guidance.

some allergy suddenly arised from my body it caused my finger and arm swallow

Female | 17

You may have an allergy. Swelling in specific areas, such as your hands or arms, can be caused by allergies. Your body can retain water in these areas. Insect bites, certain foods, and contact with irritants can cause edema. To reduce the swelling, try using a cold compress and antihistamine. If it doesn’t go away or gets worse, see a dermatologist.

You seem to have a long-lasting pimple, known as a cyst. These pimples linger, painful, and deep within the skin. To aid healing, gently cleanse the area. Don't squeeze or pick at it. After two years, the cyst persists. Seeking advice from a dermatologist is recommended if discomfort continues.

Male | 17

Vitiligo is a skin condition in which white patches appear on your skin due to the loss of pigment cells. You are applying Melbild lotion and Tacroz Forte, which can contribute to the pigmentation process on your skin. If you are not seeing any improvements after 6 months, you should probably consider discussing other treatment options with your dermatologist. Unfortunately, there is no remedy for white hair, but you can try using hair dyes to cover them up.

My all body itching and scar

Male | 25

You may have a skin disorder such as eczema. Eczema, a condition that causes your skin to itch and scar at the same time, could be one of the reasons. Scratching your skin at night may lead to red, swollen areas. Eczema is often triggered by allergies, stress, or harsh substances like certain soaps. Applying non-irritating, unscented massage oils made of natural ingredients is beneficial for your skin. It is essential to hydrate your skin regularly and avoid harming it while trying to relieve the itching to prevent scarring. If the itching and scarring persist, see a dermatologist for expert advice.

I have face problem . Redness on my cheeks Hot sensation Small colour less pimple appear Itchy skin Dry patchess on skin Can I calamine lotion for these problems?

Female | 24

This appears to be eczema, a common skin condition. The redness of the skin, a feeling of warmth, colorless pus spots, itching, and dry patches are all symptoms of eczema. Calamine lotion can help relieve the itching but will not treat the cause. Use a mild moisturizer to hydrate the skin and avoid anything that might irritate it. If your symptoms do not improve, you must see a dermatologist for further assistance.
