How to Clear Jock Itch Scars & Prevent Recurrence?

A Jock itch is a skin swelling or rash that is caused by a fungus. For fading scars, use creams or ointments prescribed by a doctor. The area should be kept clean and dry. To avoid getting it again, wear loose clothes, change underwear daily, and do not share towels. Do not scratch the rash. If it fails to improve, consult a dermatologist.

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

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.

What are squishy, painless lumps on labia majora?

Nevertheless, the most likely cause of their appearance is benign cysts either sebaceous or epidermoid types, with them often containing fluid or tissue. This kind of cyst is usually painless and doesn’t usually require any treatment as long as they don’t cause unpleasant symptoms. However, given that they have been around for five years, you should talk to a dermatologist who will carry out a comprehensive check-up.

Is Onychomychosis Affecting My Foot Health?

Onychomycosis is a fungal infection that affects the toenails, causing them to become discolored, thickened, or brittle. It's quite common and can happen due to factors like poor foot hygiene, wearing tight shoes, or walking barefoot in damp areas. I recommend keeping your feet clean and dry, wearing breathable shoes, and using antifungal creams. It's a good idea to schedule a visit with dermatologist so we can take a closer look and discuss further treatment options.

Why are pimples itching near my Virginia after period?

When pimples pop up around your intimate area and cause itching may not necessarily mean it's an STI. In fact, it could be due to a few things like irritation from products, folliculitis, or even hormonal changes. To rule out STIs, it's best to get checked by a sexologist. Meanwhile, try wearing cotton underwear, avoid harsh soaps, and keep the area dry.

Why is my ling swelling at hair size?

Swelling in your genital area could be due to a few different reasons. One common cause could be an infection, like folliculitis, which is when hair follicles get inflamed. It could also be a cyst or even an allergic reaction. To help ease the swelling and discomfort, you can try keeping the area clean and dry, avoid tight clothing, and use warm compresses. I recommend you see a sexologist for a proper evaluation and treatment. They can determine the exact cause and provide the right care.

Why do I feel hair-like crawling on my skin?

The sensation of hair falling on your skin, even when there isn’t any, can be quite uncomfortable! This feeling is known as formication. It can be triggered by factors like stress, anxiety, dry skin, or medication side effects. To help manage it, try applying moisturizer regularly, use relaxation techniques to reduce stress, and if it continues to bother you, consider consulting a dermatologist.

How to remove underarm hair without painful bumps?

It sounds like you might be experiencing ingrown hairs after shaving your underarms. When hair curls back or grows sideways into the skin instead of upward, it can cause those painful bumps. Well, to help ease the discomfort, you can try warm compresses to soothe the area and prevent infection. Avoid shaving until it heals, and when you do shave again, make sure to use a clean razor and shave in the direction of hair growth. If the pain persists or if you notice any signs of infection, it's best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.
