What Could Be Causing Strange Horizontal Lines on My Lower Back?

Patient's Query

I need some help not sure what to do. Not so long ago I noticed some wierd looking lines on my lower back, I figured it might be from the seats at school as they have pretty sharp wooden supports that when leaned on might make dents like that. But it has been a couple of weeks and these marks are not going away. Not I'm not so sure if it is the seats cause that would normally be gone In a couple days. If I could compare it to anything they are horizontal lines some longer some shorter, a couple of them and (it might sound a little bizarre) but they look somewhat like stab wound scars or something similar, atlast from my point of view.

Sometimes, you could suffer from itchy skin after a bite. The animal has to do with its saliva. See if there is a change in the area of the bite and wash it regularly to avoid any possible severe infection.

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.

"Hey, I just noticed that today my blood vessels are a purple color, and when I try to touch them, it doesn't cause any pain only a little bit of sore otherwise im fine. It started today, and I don't feel any symptoms at all. im not on any medication.

Male | 20

Purple blood vessels on the skin can look unusual, but they're usually not a big deal. Increased pressure might make them more noticeable. If there's no pain or other symptoms, it's probably nothing to worry about. Try elevating your legs and avoiding standing for too long. However, if you're concerned, see a dermatologist for treatment.

Reoccurring fungal infection at thigh area

Male | 24

Redness, itching, and rash can be caused by fungal infections. These occur when specific fungi come into contact with your skin. To treat these infections, you can use antifungal creams or pharmacy powders. During treatment, ensure the affected area is always clean and dry, as fungi thrive in warm, moist environments. If there is no improvement, consult a dermatologist. To aid your skin's healing and prevent future infections, wear loose-fitting clothing and cotton underwear, which help keep your skin dry and allow it to breathe.

Hi I am taking esomeprazole, lipitor, lisinopril, citalopram and ropinerole. I want to know if it it safe to take anti sweat tablets. Thank you

Female | 59

Sweating is your body's natural way to cool down. Certain medications can increase sweat production as a side effect or be symptoms of underlying medical conditions. Anti-sweat tablets reduce sweat secretion but may interact with your current medications. It's crucial to consult your doctor for a safe solution. They can adjust your medications or suggest alternative treatments to address the root cause of your sweating. Always communicate openly with your doctor about any concerns or changes in your medication regimen to ensure your health is prioritized.
