Why is my face red with fungal infection?

Fungal infections can indeed cause redness on the skin, often appearing as patches that may be itchy or scaly. It could be due to factors like excessive sweating, a weakened immune system, or even certain medications. The fungal infections are quite common and treatable. I recommend keeping the area clean and dry, avoiding sharing towels or cosmetics, and using antifungal creams. If the redness persists or spreads, it's best to see a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

How can I safely stop using Skinshine Cream?

I get why you're worrie­d about stopping Skinshine cream after 4 ye­ars. Being careful about side e­ffects makes sense­. When you quit, your skin might get red, itchy, or dry. That happe­ns because it got used to the­ cream. To avoid more problems, try using it le­ss over time. First, use it e­very other day. Then e­very two days. Keep doing that until you stop. Going slowly like­ this can let your skin adjust without too much trouble. Also, moisturize lots during this change­ to keep your skin healthy.

Why do I have foul-smelling, dark underarms and neck?

You may have a condition named acanthosis nigricans. It can bring about thick, dark, smelly skin in places such as the underarms, and neck. Scratching is another symptom that is often associated with this condition. Acanthosis nigricans is related to the fact that one is overweight or has diabetes. Adopting a healthier lifestyle is necessary to eat a well-balanced diet and exercise can help improve this condition.

Why is my penis swollen with redness?

You might be suffering from a swollen penis with only the back part of your penis being red. This can be a result of different circumstances such as a bacterial infection, chemical irritants, or a physician's diagnosis. This can be treated by maintaining proper hygiene and dryness of the area. Avoid using any kind of brands of soap or lotions that contain chemicals. It is better to consult a dermatologist for better treatment.

Itching on your shoulder and back for so many years, and it's gotten darker recently. Itching can have various causes, like dry skin, allergies, or even a skin condition called eczema.

In the meantime, try using a gentle moisturizer and avoid scratching to prevent further darkening.

Why Do I Have Persistent Chest Black Patches?

The patches on the chest could be due to a few different things, such as a skin condition like dermatitis or a fungal infection like tinea versicolor. Sometimes, changes in skin color can also be related to hormonal imbalances or even just a buildup of pigment in the skin. I recommend you see a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. They can suggest the best course of action, which may include topical treatments or lifestyle adjustments.

Am I in Danger After Using Eucalyptus Oil?

Eucalyptus oil is quite strong and applying it directly on your face, head, and especially in your ears can be really irritating. It's likely that the sensitive skin in those areas reacted to the oil, causing the pain you felt. But don't worry, it's not something that would cause serious harm. To ease the discomfort, I recommend gently washing your face and ears with mild soap and water. Avoid putting anything else in your ears and let them breathe. If the pain persists or if you notice any unusual symptoms, it's best to speak with a physician who can give you personalized advice based on your situation.

Why is my painful red lump on foreskin?

A red lump in that area could be due to various reasons. It might be a bacterial or fungal infection, an allergic reaction, or even an inflamed hair follicle. In some cases, it could be a sign of a sexually transmitted infection. It's essential to have it checked by a healthcare provider to get an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. In the meantime, try to keep the area clean and dry, avoid any harsh soaps, and refrain from sexual activity until you've been seen by a gynecologist

Why skin rashes after fever recovery not improving?

Sometimes after a viral infection like a fever, the body can react in different ways, such as developing a rash. These rashes can be due to the body's immune response or even a separate viral rash. In fact, some medications can also cause rashes as a side effect. I recommend keeping the affected area clean and dry, avoiding scratching to prevent infection, and wearing loose, breathable clothing. It's important to follow up with your physician for a proper evaluation and to discuss any necessary treatment options.

Why am I getting pimples while using BETNOVATE-N?

You should think twice about using BETAMETHASONE VALERATE AND NEOMUCIN SKIN CREAM (BETNOVATE-N) for this. Although these ointments contain corticosteroids, which are known for reducing inflammation, they can exacerbate your acne in the long run because of steroid-induced rosacea or any other reason. Pores get blocked with oil, bacteria, and dead skin cells, forming pimples. To bring your skin back to normal, it would be wise to use a mild cleanser and an oil-free moisturizer. More importantly, avoid touching them at all costs.

Why is my skin dry in patches?

Your skin may be dehydrated in patches. This could be due to many reasons, such as a lack of moisture, harsh soaps, or skin conditions like eczema. Dry skin can feel rough, scratchy, or even fissure. To help, try washing your kids' hair using a soap that is formulated for them. Use a thick cream or ointment which you should apply daily for at least a week. Also, drink plenty of water. If you do not see an improvement, visit a dermatologist.

Moles count the most frequent skin growths. A sore like that located inside the nose is no big deal. The best choice is to let it alone and not to attempt to remove it at home. Consult a dermatologist for the removal of a mole to avoid any bleeding or infection.
