i have a small curved line of scabs on my leg is this scabies doesn’t itch and i dont get irritated at night or after i shower

Male | 19

You have got something called eczema. Eczema can be described as tiny scabs on the skin. One of the most essential precautions you can take is to cleanse and moisturize the area regularly. Don't scratch yourself too much because it can lead to an infection. You can try using a gentle moisturizer to see if it helps. If the scabs don't improve or you see any new symptoms, it's best to go to a dermatologist for further advice.

Kya koi medicine of pimples ko swallow ki bejaye agr chewing kr kay khya jye toh benefit comp miltay?

Female | 22

When treating pimples, it's better to avoid chewing medicines that are meant to be swallowed. Chewing them may reduce their effectiveness, as the medicine works best when taken as directed. Topical treatments prescribed by a doctor may work better. Keep your face clean, avoid touching or picking at pimples, and follow a healthy skincare routine for the best results.

Hi I am 25 year old I have a scar on right cheek due to pimple,the pimple has gone but it left with a scar

Male | 25

You suffered from a pimple on your cheek that is currently a scar, which is very common. The skin may leave a mark after the healing of a pimple. Whenever skin tries to fix itself these scars form. To make the spot where it is blended with your natural complexion, use remedies such as lotions containing retinol or vitamin C.

Skin concerns like breakouts, clogged pores, and dark spots can stem from various factors, including hormonal changes, excess oil, and environmental influences.

Dandruff, often accompanied by irritation, can arise from various factors, including dietary choices. Common symptoms include white flakes on the scalp and occasional itching. Factors like dry skin, stress, or fungal growth may also contribute. To improve your condition, focus on a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals.

For some reason my neck has become dark what could be the reason and how to get Rid of it

Male | 25

The condition of acanthosis nigricans is one of the diseases that often become, specifically, darker neck areas of the skin, if that is the case. This can easily occur in the case of mixed-bred factors such as obesity, insulin resistance, or hormonal disturbances. As a result of this, one should maintain a moderate weight, balanced diet, and physical activity. Visit a dermatologist for a detailed examination and proper advice.

Hi, I have pimples under my tighs, which are very much in bad condition , can show pictures.

Male | 59

It's understandable to feel concerned about the bumps you've described. These could be caused by various factors such as friction, sweat, or even a mild skin infection. It's important to keep the area clean and dry, and wearing loose, breathable clothing can help prevent further irritation. Over-the-counter creams containing hydrocortisone might reduce inflammation and discomfort. However, since your condition seems severe, I recommend consulting a dermatologist. They can provide a thorough examination and more specific treatment options tailored to your situation.

Male | 35

You are suffering from a long-term problem with your beard itching, redness, and sticky dandruff. A skin condition seborrheic dermatitis may be the cause. Occasionally, the use of antifungal ointments like clotrimazole can be effective, but if this is not the case, you might want to use an ointment with hydrocortisone to decrease inflammation. Remember to wash and dry the area that is affected as this will help with the symptoms.

i am 32 year old female i have black heads problem in last 3 months and some black ots on hand and legs

Female | 32

Blackheads are small bumps that form when hair follicles get blocked by dead skin cells and excess oil. This can happen due to excess sebum, hormonal changes, or improper skin care. To reduce blackheads, use a gentle exfoliating scrub and a non-comedogenic moisturizer. Always clean your skin well to avoid irritation and prevent the urge to squeeze blackheads.

I applied hair removal spray on my chest and legs. Now I am feeling itchy and red rashes have appeared on my legs.

Male | 24

Itchy and red rashes are some of the common signs of sensitivity when your skin's non-acceptance is projected. This might be due to the presence of certain chemicals in the spray to which your skin is sensitive. Perhaps, you should try a gentle body lotion to reduce the itching and rashes.
