Acne is red bumps on the skin. It is common for young people like you. Acne happens when skin makes lots of oil and gets blocked. Taking tretinoin tablets for a long time is not a good idea. It is better to find why the skin gets bumps. Maybe try new skin routines with dermatologist's help.

I am 20 year old female and I am suffering from acne from past few years.i want to ask as my whole skin is dry or I can say very dry...but only my nose is very much oily...so which type of cleanser should I use... creamy or foaming?

Female | 20

Creamy cleanser( low level of PH) will be good for skin that is dry and for part of your skin that is oily(nose) foaming cleanser will be good. But use moisturizer later. I hope this proved helpful.

I am somdatta I am 19 years old I have a swollen ball in genital since few months I feel it is not a boil it is a skin swelling inside sometimes it doesn't go round and sometimes it swells up and it hurts a lot.

You may have a condition known as an inguinal hernia, which happens when a part of your insides protrudes through a weak spot in your groin muscles. It can happen like this: first, there is some swelling that appears to be a bump in your genital area that may go away or spontaneously revive and get painful. A dermatologist should be consulted to examine it and discuss therapy alternatives that can encompass surgical hernia repair.

Dark skin ke liye kaun sa face wash ya cream use karey and pigmentation ke liye kya use Karen, likewise for oily skin ke liye

Female | 25

The colour of the skin is determined by the amount of melanin produced in the skin. This in turn is influenced by genetic factors, sun exposure, drugs etc. Uneven skin tone, or any other pigmentation which is acquired and not genetic can be treated with various depigmentation creams which are to be used as per Dermatologist’s prescription. Sunscreens are mandatory to protect the skin from tan and other signs of some damage. Procedural treatments like chemical peels, laser toning etc are recommended apart from topical creams to treat the pigmentary concerns. It is not advised to use OTC creams claiming improvement in skin pigmentation without professional advice. Face washes can never treat pigmentation. They can only help clean excess oil, dirt and grime collected over the skin. For oily skin, one can use, salicylic acid, glycolic acid or tea tree oil based facewashes. For more information please visit dermatologist near you.

I think my belly button piercing is infected

Female | 16

If your belly button piercing appears to be infected, the signs may include redness, pain, heat, swelling, or pus discharge. You can get an infection if you fail to clean your piercing well or you touch it with dirty hands. To assist this, gently clean it with saline solution and avoid using harsh products on the area. Also, do not remove any jewelry from inside the piercing until advised otherwise by a professional. Visit a dermatologist if there is no improvement.

A few days ago I noticed a bump on my head and I thought I just hit my head. After a couple days it started to get a bit bigger and I noticed that it was a pimple on my scalp. I popped the pimple and removed all the pus and it started to bleed for a little bit but it shortly went away. I went to take a look at it today and I noticed a small circular bald spot about 1 cm in diameter where the pimple used to be. When touching the area with my hand I noticed that the hair in that area is really sensitive and can fall out if I rummage my hand through that area. Is this a concern or is this something normal?

Male | 21

A small circular bald spot on the scalp after popping a pimple is not uncommon, but if the area is sensitive and hair is falling out, please see a dermatologist to rule out infection or other underlying conditions.

I have acne prone skin which food is good for me and which food cam worse my acne suggest me some foods so I can cure my acne without Applying pharmacy products

Female | 20

Fruits, vegetables, and grains are very good for your skin. These products contain vitamins and antioxidants that can benefit your skin. Conversely, belief in a protective factor suggests that hormones like androgens cause acne, and poor lifestyle habits by consuming greasy or sweet fatty foods might make acne worse. Drink more water. It is the best way to keep acne away since it purifies your skin. A balanced diet is the most effective means of controlling acne.

The text in the image appears to be a screenshot of a question submitted to a telemedicine platform. The question reads: * I am a 23 year old male and I'm having rashes on my penis my body and my balls for past two weeks. I have taken an infection injection three weeks ago but haven't gotten any relief. What should I do now?

Male | 23

Rashes on your penis, body, and balls could be a result of infections, allergies, or just irritation by soaps or fabrics. It is therefore essential to visit a dermatologist who will identify the problem. After that, they can give you medication that will help clear them. Remain hopeful- with proper care everything will be alright.

Male | 33

The condition you have is called thrush. Thrush manifests through an itching, the formation of white shiny patches on the penis. It is generally produced by a fungus named Candida. A suggestion is to use a specific ointment that you can buy from the pharmacy. Keep the area dry and clean. If the symptoms are not getting better, visit a dermatologist.

I have rigid black heads and white heads and open pores which kind of clean up I should go for. Nowadays my skin texture which was normal is turning dry.

Female | 25

According to me, you can go for a gentle, non-abrasive deep cleansing. Products that contain natural ingredients like tea tree oil, etc. can help with open pores and do not even have side-effects. For preventing dry skin, you can use natural ingredients like aloe vera etc., which can help keep your skin moist.

You may have itching, and redness in a specific spot on your body. Possible causes: an allergy, bug bite, or irritated skin. Don't scratch! That worsens things. Use a hydrocortisone cream to ease itchiness, and swelling. However, if symptoms continue, see your dermatologist for an exam, and proper treatment.

I have gone through hair transplant surgery 4.5 months ago. I am suffering from Androgenetic Alopecia. As per the doctor, I am taking minoxidil and finastride on daily basis. However, my hair sheds while I apply minoxidil (10-15 hairs shed) and while I wash my head. Please suggest whether this is normal or should I consider any other treatment?

Hair fall is natural. As the lifecycle of hair has different stages.

Telogen and exogen are shedding phases of hair cycle where we lose hair. 15 to 20% hair are shed in these phases, therefore it's natural.
But when you lose more hair than routine, then its a matter of concern. Upto 30 to 40 hair per day is normal. Whatever you lose will grow back according to your hair cycle.
If you are losing thin hair very frequently then it's alarming as well.
After starting minoxidil hair fall increases. But that is normal and you will get those hair back because you are not losing them from the root.

Keep using minoxidil and finasteride it will help you.

You can refer this page to find doctors - Dermatologists in India, or you can consult me as well anytime you feel that the state of your hair is seeing no improvement.

Factors like genetics and hormones cause this condition. Treatments exist to address hair loss, like minoxidil or finasteride medications.
