If you are having recurrent acne this is probably due to the hormonal fluctuation which results into increased oily skin on the face, the scalp, chest and there are few things that has to be taken care. One thing not to apply hair oil, avoid having dandruff or use anti-dandruff shampoos weekly on the scalp, using face washes that have salicylic acid or glycolic acid. Avoid using thick greasy moisturizers or cream on the face. Use only creams that are gel based or water based. Drink plenty of water, avoid fat or cheesy diet, exercise 10-15 mins of the day. Topical steroids have to be avoided. Topical antibiotics like Clindamycin are useful. Oral Antibiotics or retinoids are advised. Even some patients require peeling sessions. A proper consultation with dermatologist is more helpful.

Hi Team, This is regarding to my mother who age is 55. She got burning feet from so many years and nowadays she is getting on the hands as well. Just want to know what is the reason and is there any oilment or tablet to cure her problem.

Female | 55

Without a proper evaluation and diagnosis, it is difficult to understand the cause of the problem. I suggest taking your mother to a right doctor. Based on your mother's medical history and certain evaluations, he will be able to know the cause of burning feet and hands and can suggest an appropriate treatment. Hope this proved helpful.

Hello Doctor, Since last 7-8 days i have developed a boil like structure near the head of my penis. Now, since last 2-3 days there is pain and irritation while urinating. I had consulted one doctor yesterday. After taking random blood sugar test measuing 147 -he said circumcission is only option. I dont have issue with foreskin. it moves back comfortably and there is no pain while intercourse... This is the 1st time i have experienced this issue. Please guide what can be done...is there any alternate treatment.

Male | 38

The boil-like structure could be a symptom of an infection. Pain and irritation while urinating are the most frequent. These include antibiotics or antifungal creams to help with the infection. The area should be kept clean and dry for a quicker recovery process. Drink lots of water and do not use strong soaps on the wound.

I am a 18 year old male. I used my friends derma roller . And now I am anxious if I can get hiv from it although he doesn't have hiv. The roller was disinfected before I used it with spray alcohol.

Male | 18

It is safe to use a friend's derma roller after disinfection if it has been sprayed with alcohol. HIV is a sexual infection; sharing needles is one of the transmitter. A sterilized roller is thus no cause of fear or stress if someone else has got HIV. Such sterilized tools do not risk transmitting HIV.

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.

Hello sir /ma'am From the past 3 months i was using elosone ht skin cream over my knee areas, because of the sun exposure my knee became very dark and they were looking very odd. That's why i was using it in my knee areas only, also it was having visible results. 4 5 days back i saw my knees and suddenly i was in shock. My knees are looking very scary. The area where i use to apply the cream the whole area is covered with a dark patch which is 2x darker than before i had. Please help me it is looking very scary and i can't even wear shorts due to this.

Female | 18

The cream you were using might have led to the development of a skin condition known as skin atrophy which causes the skin to become thin and darker. This can occur if certain steroid creams are applied for an extended duration on sensitive areas like the knees. It's vital to discontinue the cream instantly and see a dermatologist for a thorough examination and advice on how to improve the skin condition.
