It sounds like your mother may be dealing with a complex skin condition, which could be psoriasis or a viral skin infection. Psoriasis often causes red, itchy, and scaly patches, while viral infections can also spread and cause irritation. For the right diagnosis and treatment, it’s best to consult a dermatologist, who can guide you based on her specific symptoms.

I HAVE BEEN SUFFERING FROM RINGWORM ON MY BODY SINCE 6 YEARS WHEN I TAKE MEDICINE IT TOTALLY REMOVE. BUT WHEN I GIVE UP IT WILL RECOMES LIKE BACK TIME .
Male | 21
You've been dealing with ringworm for a long time. Ringworm is a common fungus infection that can appear in different parts of your skin and cause red, itchy, circular rashes. Furthermore, while the drug takes away the discomfort, returning too soon may lead to a relapse. Regularly washing your clothes and bedding will also help limit the infection.

How to remove chicken pox dark spot
Male | 29
Dark spots after chicken pox are known as scars. They appear when pox blisters heal. Don't worry too much, most fade over time. To speed up fading, try using creams or oils made for scars. Also, protect skin from the sun, as it darkens scars.

I am 16 yrs old female and have skin warts on face from the time when I was kid about 5 to 6 yrs old and my father and brother also have warts on face what to do any medicine or any treatment is it curable or not
Female | 16
Face warts come from a virus that spreads from person to person. It’s very contagious within families. Although warts aren’t serious, they can be annoying. Special creams, freezing, or laser treatment can be used to remove them. However, they may return later. You should talk with a dermatologist about what will work best for you.

Age-41yrs. From last 3 years suffering from a black patch all around my lips, specially below the lips on both sides. I had visited a doctor there who detected the problem to be Perical pig / Melasma Pg as written in the prescription. Treated me with the following medicines For the 1st month- Cetaphil gentle cleanser, Flutivate E cream alternate night and Kojic cream once in a day. Next visit I was advised to use Kojiglo cream once daily, Eukroma+Flutivate E cream on the patches twice a week. But I did not find any difference. I had informed the doctor that I cannot afford a very costly treatment, but on her assurance during my third visit I was applied Glycocil pack but yet felt no difference. Then was asked to use Dermadew Caloe lotion every day and Azideenz 10% gel once a day, this gel made my skin rough, when complained she advised me to use only Dermadew lotion day and night daily. My face is 2 to 3 shades darker than my body color. What to do now to get rid of this patch
Female | 41
Without a proper evaluation and diagnosis, I can't say. But normally, suggested treatments for perical pigmentation include topical medications and laser treatments and I do not recommend flutivate cream for pigmentation. However, based on your individual condition, the doctor will recommend the best treatment for you.

Scalp folliculitis makes hair follicles on your head get infected. It causes red, itchy bumps. It can make you lose hair too. You must keep your head clean. Do not scratch it. Use special shampoos with medicine in them. See a skin dermatologist. They can help treat scalp folliculitis.

My son is 4.5 years and is having skin rashes since 1 year, in his knee, back, lower stomach and underarms. We have consulted skin specialist and applied futibact, tacroz and neoaporin ointments, but once we stop futibact the rashes return after a week and increase
Male | 4
The boy seems to have atopic dermatitis also called as atopic eczema. The care is utmost important in his case as the skin is dry and prone to rashes as well as infection. steps should be taken to keep his skin moist at all times. Start by oiling him before bath, use mild cleansers, and apply moisturizers immediately after bath so as to retain water and seal it inside his skin. The flutibact is for immediate reduction of rashes. Start using tacrolimus cream once a week to prevent further rashes. The flutibact is a steroid and antibiotic combination cream, and therefore has to be used judiciously. Please meet a pediatric dermatologist for more information regarding this problem

Male | 20
The itchy red bumps on your scrotum, buttocks, and thighs could indicate a fungal infection or dermatitis. These areas are prone to such skin issues. While clotrimazole provides temporary relief, the condition keeps recurring. For an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment, consulting a dermatologist is advisable. Meanwhile, maintain hygiene in the affected regions. Avoid scratching to prevent further irritation. Wear loose, breathable clothing to minimize discomfort.

I need a healthy clear and a glowing skin so what products or treatments should I opt for
Female | 26
For healthy skin, cleanse daily and avoid harsh irritants. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, as dehydration can make your skin look dull. Eat fruits and vegetables to get the nutrients your skin needs. Protect your skin from the sun by applying sunscreen every day. Clear, radiant skin comes from gentle cleansing, proper hydration, a nourishing diet, and sun protection.

I have a spot on the earlobe.Was dark,now is pink.Has a black Punct in the middle.I dont feel pain.What it is?
Female | 32
If you have a bump on your earlobe after getting a piercing, it might not hurt but can appear pink with a dark or black spot in the middle. These are often called piercing bumps and are usually caused by irritation or infection. Try cleaning it gently with saline solution and avoid touching or changing the piercing too much. If it doesn't improve or starts to hurt, please make an appointment to see a dermatologist soon for further assistance.

I got lightly scratched by a stray cat. It did draw blood. I made sure to clean ot properly and use anti-bacterial cloth. Do I need to see a doctor or are there any symptoms to be aware of?
Male | 23
Cats can scratch, and it happens. You've cleaned it properly, which is great. However, keep an eye out for signs of infection, like redness, swelling, warmth, or increasing pain near the scratch. If you notice any of these, see a doctor right away.

been diagnosed with scabies and applies permethrin cream on the 3rd of april. after research i can see improvements are not quick to see but i am seeing a much larger increase of rashes on different parts of my body that weren’t there and the existing ones, like my left hand, looks like the rashes have developed bumps and look more prominent. is this a normal reaction to the cream and should i be worried that it has made it worse? should i try ignore it until my second treatment?
Male | 20
Are rashes getting worse after using permethrin cream? Relax, that's normal. The mites are dying, which can cause irritation and make the rashes appear worse briefly. Don't worry—this means the treatment is working. Keep at it steadily and follow the instructions carefully. Contact a dermatologist if symptoms escalate severely or if discomfort spikes alarmingly.

Mera skin oily aur wrinkles hai kya kon sa medicine use kare please guide
Male | 28
It’s crucial to treat a combination of oily and wrinkled skin with great attention. Your skin turning oily can lead to blocked pores and acne. Wrinkles can be formed from aging and your skin receiving too much sunlight. Cleansing your oily skin can be aided by using a mild cleanser and an oil-free moisturizer. For wrinkles, contemplate using products that have both retinol and hyaluronic acid. Protect your skin by putting on sunscreen when the sun is out.

I HAVE SCALP SCALES LIKE PIMPLES HIGHLY ITCHING WHEN SCRAP STICKY LIQUID IS COMING
Male | 47
You are suffering from psoriasis of the scalp. This can make you have scales on your scalp, which will be itchy and sometimes you will get oozing sticky liquid out of it. Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system gets hyperactive. For this, gentle washing your hair with a medicated shampoo is a good start. Be careful not to scratch because it will worsen the situation. Moreover, consulting a dermatologist is also a good way to get proper treatment options.

Dr. Alvin's Product No. 4 Peeling Set I use on my face for 36 days. My skin is very oily and sensitive. The peeling product did not give good results after using it on my skin. Currently my skin is white and black. Now what can I do?
Female | 19
The white and black spots you noticed could result from product irritation. This might've caused hyperpigmentation. Stop using the product immediately. Use a gentle, moisturizing cleanser and moisturizer made for sensitive skin instead. Wear sunscreen daily to protect your skin. Give your skin time to heal, avoiding harsh products. If the changes persist or worsen, consult a dermatologist.
