Hello, Alopecia Universalis is classified as an autoimmune disease and till date, there is no reliable treatment available. Depending on your condition, the doctor may prescribe corticosteroids to suppress your immune system or they may give topical immunotherapy to stimulate the immune system. These treatments are given with the aim to activate the hair follicles and boost hair growth. Further, ultraviolet light therapy is also recommended to increase the circulation of the blood and activate the hair follicles. Hope our answer helps you.

I was bitten by a tick a week ago. I got it out s day later when i noticed it but couldn't get its head out. Its starting to itch and looks like a slight rash. Should i be worried or will it go away on it's own?

Female | 35

When ticks bite, it can cause itching, rash, and redness on the skin. If the tick’s head remains in your body, it may result in an infection. To alleviate this, wash the affected area with soap and water then apply an anti-itch cream. Watch out for any signs of infection like increased redness or pain; should you notice any seek medical attention immediately.

Severe scabies can, in fact, be very difficult, and it is essential that it is handled properly. These small, itchy red bumps indicate an infestation by mites, which can spread if not treated effectively. It’s critical to make sure that everyone in the household is treated simultaneously to avoid reinfestation. I suggest using a prescribed topical treatment that contains permethrin or ivermectin since these are effective treatments. Keep up a high level of cleanliness; wash clothing and bedding in hot water frequently, and keep the air circulating. For personalized advice, consult a dermatologist who can also confirm the diagnosis for the right treatment.

Foreskin is not moving fornt and back

Male | 45

Foreskin not moving back and forth easily can happen due to a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is too tight to retract. It can be caused by inflammation, infections, or simply a naturally tight foreskin. In fact, the good news is that there are ways to manage this. You can try gentle stretching exercises or consult a sexologist who may suggest creams or, in some cases, a minor procedure called circumcision. It's important to address this issue to prevent any complications.

Male | 26

You could be suffering from a condition called urticaria, which can also be identified as hives. Hives can be characterized as red, inflamed lines on the skin that are itchy and burning. Common triggers include anxiety, some foods, medications, or allergies. Try to determine what your hives may be caused by and stay away from those triggers. Using cool compresses, and antihistamines may be beneficial in reducing itching. If the symptoms continue, visit a dermatologist.

Red spots on private parts has yellow on them

Male | 23

Red spots with yellowing on sensitive areas may indicate an infection or irritation, such as folliculitis or a yeast infection. These symptoms can arise from various factors, including friction, poor hygiene, or skin conditions. To help soothe the area, maintain good hygiene and avoid irritants. Over-the-counter creams may offer relief, but it is essential to monitor the condition. If these signs persist or worsen, I strongly recommend consulting a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Male | 22

Due to its nature which comes in the form of oil, and dead cells of the skin, smegma is the only natural substance one needs. When it accumulates, it can cause some aches and pains. Remember to gently wash the skin with water every day. Do not forget to dry off every last drop of water. If itching still stays or aggravates, you should immediately consult a dermatologist to get this problem cured.

30 years old and I have been smelling very bad I don't know what is the cost of my body to smell bad and I'm always feeling to sleep all the time what is the cost

Male | 30

The potential to encounter differences in body odor and fatigue every day is a matter that people can relate to. Diversity, including diet, stress, hormonal fluctuations, or even some complex disorders, may be causing such symptoms. You should think of your water intake, the way that you clean up, and your diet, which might be the culprits in case of both bad smell and low energy. Furthermore, physical exercise and proper sleep hygiene will be very helpful. You may consult a dermatologist.

You might have something known as a lipoma. It's a lump formed by fat cells. Lipomas don't usually hurt. They feel soft. You can move them easily under your skin. They're typically harmless. You likely won't need treatment, unless it bothers you. However, it's wise to see a dermatologist.

I have been taking medicine for vitiligo since long time. Recently I changed my medicine to new medication and now vitiligo is started to spread aggressively. What is the reason ?

Male | 37

The new medicine might react abnormally. This could mean your vitiligo spread aggressively. Your doctor needs updates like these. Each person reacts differently, so treatment needs adjustments over time. Finding the right medication takes trial and error. Keep your dermatologist informed about any drastic changes.

I am 23 years old and I did a breast surgery on 17th of march 2024 for removal of lump. The wound is yet to heal now. Few days after the surgery i noticed leakages from the stitches so i went back to the doctor then he stitched it again whivh made the healing process very slow. What can I do to heal the opened wound on my right breast? I find it difficult to bathe. I was prescribed ciprotab by the doctor and vitamin c (but I got the coloured ones instead) or should I have been using the white one? I already stopped the ciprotab

Female | 23

To help the wound heal, ensure that you keep it clean and dry, wash the area gently with some mild soap and water then dry. Any rough movements which might disrupt the stitches should be avoided. Consult with Your Doctor on the right type of vitamin C use, usually white because colored ones could have added ingredients. Should there be signs like increased pain, redness, swelling, or pus, then do seek medical Help immediately as this could mean infection.
