Diagnosing itchy rash: scabies vs. eczema
Can an itchy rash with raised white bumps on the arms (which flatten a bit and turn more red with mometosone after itching) be scabies instead of eczema? What about if at the same time on the belly there is a flat rash of red dots?

Answered on 16th Oct '24
An itchy red rash with raised bumps may indicate scabies, not eczema. Scabies result from tiny mites burrowing into the skin, prompting itchiness and bumps. Red dots on your belly also suggest scabies spread. Visiting a dermatologist is crucial for proper diagnosis. They can prescribe medicines killing mites, and relieving itchiness. Scabies requires medical attention, unlike typical eczema.

mera white spot hua hai but color utna white nhi hai thik hone me kitna time lagega
Male | 28
Depending on what you are describing, it may be a type of skin disorder called vitiligo. With vitiligo, the cells that make the pigment in the skin are destroyed through the melanocyte process, thereby producing white spots on the skin. It is always best to book an appointment with a dermatologist.

Im 24 and have been having an itchy sensation on the head and sometimes skin of the penis , some small red spots once appeared on the penis head but they then disappeared on their own, what could this be
Male | 24
You might have a condition called balanitis. Balanitis is when the head of the penis gets itchy and irritated. Small red spots can appear and will then go away on their own. One reason this might happen is improper washing, which can lead to irritation from certain soaps, laundry detergents, or a yeast infection. You should keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting underwear, and avoid using harsh products. If the symptoms do not improve, talk to a dermatologist for proper treatment.

I often get a lump on my neck left side over the neck bone whenever I lay downward but it gets normal if I move upwards or stand... It doesn't pain
Female | 18
You seem to have a swollen lymph node on your neck. These tiny glands act as filters, trapping viruses and bacteria. They swell when fighting infection. If it's painless and shifts with your movements, it's likely harmless. However, monitor its progress closely. Persistent swelling coupled with fever or unexplained weight loss warrants medical evaluation. Consulting a dermatologist offers assurance regarding any underlying condition.

Female | 22
Different factors like allergies or harsh ingredients might cause hair loss. Your scalp needs time to recover. For now, switch back to your old shampoo. Use a gentle conditioner too. Natural oils like coconut or almond can nourish hair and scalp. Be gentle when brushing or styling to avoid damage. If hair keeps falling out for weeks, consult a dermatologist.

My mother had a small lump on her hand so can she take moxiforce cv 625 this medicine
Female | 58
Any lump or soft tissue can be due to many reasons like injury, inflammation, or even tumors. Moxiforce CV 625 is a medicine prescribed to treat infections, but without determining the exact cause of the lump, it is not advisable to use it. It is more preferable to have a doctor to check the lump and decide which is the best treatment.

Can stress cause bruising
Female | 23
Worry does not leave marks on your skin. However, it may cause restlessness. Restless people sometimes scratch or bump into objects. This can result in bruises forming. Feeling tense weakens your body's defenses. A weakened immune system makes bruising more likely. To prevent stress-related bruising, you should find ways to relax. Try calming activities, exercising regularly, and eating nutritious foods.

I'm 18 years old Male I have ringworm for long time I have used some many medicine but my pain haven't got relief what should I do
Male | 18
The main issue is that your skin manifests red, scaly, and itchy areas caused by a skin rash caused by a fungal infection known as ringworm. It's a little tricky but can be treated with regular oral antifungal therapy. Be certain to make sure that the injured place is clean and quite dry. You may also take a prescription antifungal cream or medicine from a dermatologist to help it go away completely. The treatment might take some time so be patient and consistent.

Male | 20
You might have a skin condition called eczema, which can cause small watery bumps, itching, and some redness. Standard treatments don't always work for everyone. To relieve symptoms, use a mild moisturizer regularly, avoid strong soaps, and wear loose, natural-fiber clothing. If the problem continues, consider consulting a dermatologist for further advice and treatment.
