Why does my son have a thick red line after nap?

Patient's Query

My son has woken up from a nap with a read mark in a line. It is thick and red. I’m really worried.

Answered by Dr. Archit Aggarwal

Your son may have a skin issue­ called "dermatographia," meaning, "skin writing." Whe­n pressure touches the­ skin, red lines appear. It's not se­vere and commonly disappears by itse­lf. Perhaps he laid on something le­aving a mark. If it disturbs him, or worsens, consulting a dermatologist would be wise­.

Can I take glutathione for skin whitening

Male | 15

Glutathione isn't FDA approved for skin lightening.. Limited research available.. Possible side effects.. Discuss with doctor.. it is IMPORTANT to note that the use of glutathione for skin lightening comes with SERIOUS risks.. While it is MARKETED as a "natural" alternative to traditional skin lightening treatments, there is NO conclusive evidence to support its effectiveness.. The FDA HAS NOT approved glutathione for skin lightening purposes, which means that its safety and effectiveness have NOT been thoroughly tested

Hello! I'd like to consult on a medication called Doxycycline I took 2 doses wrongly by accident (2 pills 2 times a day instead of 1 pill 2 times a day) Should I wait 24 hours and take the next dose in the morning? or should I take my next dose now? also, could I check the effectiveness of doxycycline? (I have taken doxycycline before and I'm concerned it might not be effective) Thank you!

Male | 24

It's important to use medicines the right way if you want them to work well. Too much doxycycline might give you a stomach ache, make you feel sick, or throw up. If you have taken 2 doses at once, just skip that particular time and take your next dose when it is due. Even after this drug may still be effective but not in the correct manner as before; so always consult with your doctor if doubtful about its efficacy.

I have a sensitive skin and an oily face. The products I use always give me skin problems like skin rashes, dark spots and pigmentation. I have a hot caramel skin. I want to know the best products for my skin

Female | 18

You may have some skin issues that can be tough to deal with. If your skin is sensitive and oily, try using mild products without perfumes. Possibly, dark spots, skin rashes and pigmentation could occur due to irritation caused by harsh components in the product you are using. Go for products labeled as non-comedogenic so that they do not block the pores on your face. Also, look for ingredients like niacinamide or hyaluronic acid that will help calm down and moisturize your skin. Always do a patch test before applying any new product to prevent unexpected reactions.
