Hi. I've a question regarding my niece's skin problem. She is a 7

Asked for Female | 7 Years

Hi. I've a question regarding my niece's skin problem. She is a 7-years old. She has developed red patches of skin on her cheek, chin and around nose. The affected area of her cheek is very dry. I brought her to a doctor who prescribed two creams, mezoderm(betamethasone) and gentamicin-akos which made things far worse. Then at the pharmacy I was advised to use ftorokart(also a cream with triamcinolone) for my niece's face. After a few uses of the cream, I've seen some noticeable improvement in her skin condition since she started to use it. It took the redness out of her nose. But she still has rash and blisters on her face. I took photos of her face in case it might be helpful for you to identify the reason for her skin condition. Here are the photos of hers: https://ibb.co/q9t8bSL https://ibb.co/Q8rqcr1 https://ibb.co/JppswZw https://ibb.co/Hd9LPkZ Would you mind helping us to identify what caused this skin condition?

You need to see a skin specialist ( dermatologist) for it to understand the underlying cause of this condition and proper management. Please don’t use drugs directly dispensed by pharmacist without advice of a qualified doctor.

According to the symptoms and signs described, it appears to be a case of atopic dermatitis which is common among children of the mentioned age. It is a condition where the skin barrier is disturbed and is extremely sensitive to external environmental triggers like cold and dry weather, dust etc. It presents as red dry itchy patches on cheeks, hands and legs sometimes whole body. The above mentioned creams contain topical corticosteroids which are to be used with a great caution under the supervision of Dermatologist. Good barrier repairing creams including emollients with squalene, ceramides etc can help reviving the skin barrier. Steroid sparing drugs can be prescribed to manage the rash. Please consult a qualified Dermatologist and do not use topical corticosteroids without doctor’s advice as it may cause many adverse effects.

Maine 3 paracetamol kha li ek sath 650 mg bala gusse me ab kya khaye ki thik hoga mujhe ulti aa rahi hai

Female | 25

Taking 3 paracetamol tablets of 650 mg each at once can upset your stomach and cause nausea or vomiting. It's important to avoid taking more medication immediately. Try to sit upright if you can, it may ease the nausea. Sip on some ginger tea or nibble on a few crackers to settle your stomach. It's also a good idea to avoid fatty or spicy foods for now. If the vomiting persists or you develop any other concerning symptoms like severe abdominal pain or dizziness, please consult physician promptly.

Im 19yrs old, getting red stretch marks on my right breasts and they are little itchy and burning! Is it normal? Its only in one of my breasts!

Female | 19

Stretch marks often appear during growth periods like at 19. They're reddish, itchy bands from your expanding skin. Having them on just one side is normal too. Gentle moisturizers may ease the irritation. Drink plenty of fluids.

Sir mere face PR muhansa aur pimple aur chota chota Dana ho rha ha medicine bi li but koi frk ni pd rha aur mujhe ye kyu ho rha aa plss sir help me

Male | 17

You're having breakouts and little lumps on your face that got worse even when you took medication for them. These ailments can be caused by the pores in your skin being blocked with oil and the dirt that enters them. Make sure your face is washed with a gentle exfoliating cleanser daily. Moreover, avoid getting too close to your face. If you have the same problem, meet a dermatologist for the correct diagnosis and treatment.

My name is Kali my problem is skin chulkani hoyeche.

Female | 30

I understand you're dealing with skin itching. Itching can occur when your skin becomes dry and rough, often due to not drinking enough water, using harsh soaps, or cold weather. To manage it, make sure to drink plenty of water, apply moisturizer gently, and avoid harsh soaps. Also, protect your skin from the cold by wearing gloves and scarves.

Why im getting dry it by skin in patches

Male | 54

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.

Excessive palm sweating happens. Sometimes it comes from stress or hot weather. Sometimes, a medical issue causes it. Some people sweat more than others; that's okay. Using hand antiperspirants helps. Also, you could ask a dermatologist about treatments.

What medication can I take to cure the infection (itchy rashes on my private part and yansh)?

Male | 20

A rash affecting your intimate areas may indicate a yeast or bacterial infection. This condition is widespread, so there's no need for embarrassment. For treatment, a doctor could recommend an antifungal cream or antibiotic ointment. Maintain cleanliness and dryness in the affected region. Wear loose-fitting garments. Refrain from scratching to expedite healing.
