It sounds like you may have a condition called a "pityriasis rosea." It often starts as a small, circular patch that's slightly raised, not itchy, and not painful. In fact, we're not entirely sure what causes it, but it's usually harmless and tends to go away on its own. I recommend keeping an eye on it for any changes and avoiding scratching it. If it starts spreading or causing any discomfort, it's best to schedule an appointment with dermatologist.

Herpes simplex is a virus that causes cold sores on your lips. These cold sores can feel painful, itchy, or tingly. Don’t touch or pick at them. You can use a cold compress and over-the-counter creams to help soothe them. Eating healthy and getting plenty of rest will help your body fight the virus better.

Hii I am having pain on nose alae part and it's swollen

Female | 17

Keeping it clean and not touching it will help to prevent a more serious irritation. To reduce swelling and relieve pain, you can use a cold compress. Drink plenty of water and take over-the-counter pain relievers to relieve your symptoms. Nevertheless, I advise visiting a dermatologist for proper treatments since symptoms may differ.

Male | 32

When your skin gets hot, a blister may form as a way to protect itself while healing. It's important to keep the blister clean and dry. Avoid popping it, as this can cause an infection. If the blister is painful or looks discolored, it's best to see a dermatologist.

i am 18 years old and i had small ball like structure in penis shaft for 3 years and it still not going away. I once goes for checkup but doctor says it normal and it will remove within weeks or months but its 3 years now

It looks like you’ve got penile papules. These are small, harmless bumps that commonly appear on the shaft of the penis. They might be white, pinkish or the color of your skin, and they don’t come from infections or bad hygiene. If the bumps start hurting or itching or anything else about them changes, it’s best to go see a dermatologist.

Male | 16

This may occur as a result of the pores being clogged, which may then cause infections. Clean and dry the area properly to avoid further damage. Do not pick or pop the pimple as it may aggravate the situation. Consult a dermatologist for proper treatment.

You must visit a dermatologist first. You may try using natural remedies such as topical applications of lemon juice, almond oil, and aloe vera gel to help reduce the appearance of the black spots on face. Also practice good skin care habits such as avoiding harsh soaps, using sunscreen, and avoiding excessive sun exposure.
