Red Whelp on Neck: Causes and Remedies

Patient's Query

I have a red whelp on my neck.

Answered by Dr. Archit Aggarwal

A red whe­lp appears on your neck. Potentially a harmle­ss skin irritation could be from rubbing against something rough. Or, perhaps cause­d by reacting to a specific product. Sometime­s bites from insects or allergie­s form whelps too. First, try using a cool compress and mild hydrocortisone cre­am. Avoid scratching, as that may worsen it. However, if symptoms pe­rsist beyond a few days, see­ a dermatologist.

I have acne problem. My dermatologist suggested me Acnilite soap but now it's not available. So please suggest me alternative to that

Female | 21

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.

Am I balding or not? Please help

Male | 16

It is hard to diagnose your balding without a professional examination. If you are worried about hair loss, you should visit a dermatologist who is a specialist in hairs loss problems. They can analyze your condition and give you optimal care.

Hello, I have a wart/verucca for a few years now, a couple of days ago it was painful and i noticed that it was all yellow around, like it was inflamed, so i tried to drain it and i cut the inflamed part to the point where all 7 layers of my skin was gone and it left a hole, the dimensions of the area is about 1.5cm and it doesnt hurt anymore, should i be concerned or will it heal on it own?

Female | 18

Cutting or draining a wart at home can lead to infection and other complications. Since you've removed multiple layers of skin and created a hole, there is a risk of infection, scarring, or delayed healing. A professional can assess the wound, provide appropriate treatment to prevent infection, and determine whether any further steps are needed for healing
