Female | 28

It could be that you have an allergy or a skin condition that you're trying to address. On further observation, there might be more factors contributing to this. I recommend that you book an appointment with a dermatologist who will give you a diagnosis and the right treatment.

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.

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.

Female | 24

It is important to mind red lines on your thighs, as they might result from skin infections, irritants, or even insect bites. It would be of much help if you knew when these marks appeared first and any other symptoms you might have. Ensure that the area is clean and avoid scratching. Consider using a mild antiseptic cream; otherwise, seek further evaluation from a dermatologist.

from 1 week i have swelling and blisters on my penis and some sores ,Not much pain, just occasional burning and itching.please tell me what should i do in this situation

Male | 24

You may have a common virus known as genital herpes. They can cause redness, blisters, sores, burning, and itching. The most crucial thing is to abstain from sexual relationships until you talk to a doctor at a hospital or a clinic. As before, they will give the patients antiviral medication to control the symptoms and to stop the onset of the outbreaks in the future. It is important to first visit a dermatologist to verify the illness and be prepared for the treatment.

Hello sir since your hair loss is rapid and dandruff issue could be more of flaking, due to DHT(Dihydrotestesterone) which is the root cause of hair loss also known as andogenetic alopecia.... PRP, laser, minoxidil 5% would be an ideal solution for such hair loss condition.

It looks like the cream you used has darkened your skin. Some creams can cause changes in skin color. It's best to consult a dermatologist, who can provide detailed advice on solutions and explain them after a thorough examination of your skin. Be extra careful when choosing skin creams.

Male | 18

Your skin might be affected by acanthosis nigricans which is identified by dark patches, even on the throat and joints. Being overweight and having high blood pressure are risk factors for this. The treatment is to lose weight and control the BP, as a result, the patches can be healed. Follow a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and be consistent with your prescribed medications to control your blood pressure.

Want best Fever lip blisters ointment. Don't want to eat medicine. I'm pregnant.

Female | 40

If you happen to have a high fever with lip blisters and during pregnancy you can't use medicine, rest easy. These come from a virus mostly. Try petroleum jelly ointments or aloe vera to help in wound healing and to keep the area moist. Also, press a cold pack a couple of times a day. Don't forget to drink lots of water and have enough sleep for the body to strengthen and overpower the virus.

Nido r Biofiber transplant

Male | 27

Nido and Biofibre are two types of alternative artificial hair transplantation procedures that can be used instead of traditional techniques. Nido incorporates the use of synthetic fibers that mimic natural hair, whereas Biofibre uses biocompatible artificial fibers to lower allergies. Both of these operations are less invasive than traditional hair transplants and can provide faster results, but there is a risk of infection or rejection by an organism. It is important to consult an expert dermatologist or hair transplant specialist in order to know the risks and benefits of these approaches for treating your peculiar case.
