Why do red dots on skin spread and cause sores?

Hi Doctor, I'm experiencing a recurring skin issue. It starts as a small red dot, which then develops into a sore, causing skin damage. The sore heals after 2-3 weeks, but instead of resolving, the condition spreads to a new location just above the previous sore.

You may have a skin condition known as impetigo. It is usually first seen as a red point and develops into an ulcer thereafter ten days or so, and is finally healed. It may also spread to other skin areas on the body. This is the result of bacteria entering the body through small cuts or sores. In a clean environment, and with the help of antibiotic ointment, the skin can be healed.

I have milia under my eyes around 10 Can you please suggest any cream with less side effects Can you please suggest skin care routine I have oily skin and minute pores

Female | 20

Milia are tiny white­ bumps under the eyes, looking like­ cysts. Don't fret! These ofte­n disappear without action. Try a gentle e­xfoliating cream, containing glycolic acid or retinol. Kee­p skin is clean, and moisturized. For oily complexions, use­ lightweight, oil-free moisturize­rs. Avoid squeezing or picking milia.

I have acne spots and darkspots on my face form 2 years can i use azelic acid if I can then how much percent

Female | 18

Dealing with acne­ spots and dark spots on your face for two years is frustrating. Consider using aze­laic acid: safe for most people. A 10% conce­ntration is effective. It re­duces acne breakouts and fade­s discoloration. Use it daily by applying a thin layer after cle­ansing. Complement with sunscree­n and moisturizer.

i want to check my face is my face is healthy or fat

Male | 24

You want to figure out whether it is healthy or there is too much fat, then look for signs like puffiness, a double chin, or round cheeks. A situation like this may be caused by eating too many junk foods and not being physically active enough. To fix this, you can eat more fruits and vegetables, drink lots of water, and move with some activities such as walking, or dancing.

White patches on my shaft. Painless but lots of them. I have had unprotected sex in the last 7 days. Of course going to get tested but have not seen any pictures online matching. Please advise thanks

Male | 38

White patches on your shaft are around sometimes because of a fungal infection called candidiasis or a disorder like lichen planus. These can show up after sex, especially if unprotected. These can be cured by taking medications ordered by a doctor after proper diagnosis.

I'm 17 years old and having acne and pimple on face. I want to get rid of it. I need any cream for this case

Male | 17

Dealing with pimples and acne can be frustrating, but it's normal for your age. These skin issues happen when hair follicles get clogged with sebum and dead skin cells, leading to red bumps, whiteheads, or blackheads. Try using an over-the-counter acne cream with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to help clear them up. Wash your face regularly and avoid scrubbing too hard. Also, avoid touching your face, as it can make things worse. Eating a nutritious diet and drinking plenty of water will help keep your skin healthy.

how are doing my name is nene an from Rwanda i want to ask about skincare because my face looks like 30 years old but I am 20 years?

Female | 20

There are many reasons why your skin may appear older than you’d like. Some of the most common include excessive sun exposure, smoking, and dehydration. Additionally, stress and genetics can also contribute to this issue. To improve the condition of your skin, it is advisable to apply sunscreen every day, drink plenty of water, eat a balanced diet, and quit smoking. Using mild cleansers along with moisturizers can help maintain a healthy complexion.

Acne on cheeks, have many big spots

Male | 29

You have some large, bumpy areas on your face. Those are known as zits or pimples. Zits occur when the tiny holes in our skin, called pores, become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. This can make them look red and swollen or feel tender to the touch. A good way to get rid of acne is to wash your face gently with warm water and soap twice a day; never squeeze the spots because it can cause scars, or use products containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid which help clear up blackheads and whiteheads.
