Dermatology

Answered by Dr. Anju Methil

An itchy lip can be due to poor hydration, an allergic reaction or even a cold sore. It is recommended to see a dermatologist for a correct diagnosis and treatment choice. In due course, refrain from licking your lips and use petroleum jelly to moisturize your lips.

You must visit a dermatologist first. You may try using natural remedies such as topical applications of lemon juice, almond oil, and aloe vera gel to help reduce the appearance of the black spots on face. Also practice good skin care habits such as avoiding harsh soaps, using sunscreen, and avoiding excessive sun exposure.

I have blood patches on my legs hips and back they are bumped up and when we press them it feels pain

Male | 15

Blood clots on the legs, hips, and back may be an symptom of the disease called vasculitis. They become painfully tender to touch when pressured. This involves the deterioration of the blood vessels which may be caused by many different factors. It is so important to visit a dermatologist who will be able to provide you with the exact diagnosis and treatment plan.

I have foreskin reddish and no pain no itching

Male | 42

Balanitis is the inflammation of the glans due to non-infectious or infectious causes. It is usually painless and non-itching but appears as a red rash on the foreskin. Poor hygiene, irritation from soap, or a yeast infection can result in this. The general care of the genitals focuses on hygiene, the area should be cleansed every day and dried completely. If symptoms persists consult a dermatologist.

I am 27 year old female . For past 2 days , I had a red slightly swollen pimple in my armpit & today I woke with lot of pain & swelling around that area ( I usually shave my underarms but this never happened before ) What medicine should I apply or take ?

Female | 27

You have an infected hair follicle in your armpit, causing pain and swelling. This often happens when bacteria enter small cuts from shaving. Applying a warm compress on the area a few times a day can help reduce the swelling. You can also use an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment to clean the area and speed up healing. If the pain and swelling don’t improve or worsen, visit a dermatologist.

My penis head and foreskin are changing colour it started at the head and has been spreading over time, the sexual health clinic didn’t know what it was

Male | 41

Color changes in the head and foreskin can result from various factors like infections, dermatitis, or skin conditions. Sometimes, irritation or friction can also contribute to these changes. It is reassuring that you've already sought advice from a clinic. However, I encourage you to consult a dermatologist again for further investigation. A dermatologist or urologist can provide a more accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment options.

How can I remove healed accident scars from face

Male | 16

Accidents often result in scars. These marks may appear pink, raised, or flat. Various treatments exist to improve scar appearance. For instance, silicone gels/sheets, laser therapy, and corticosteroid injections can potentially fade scars gradually. Visit a dermatologist for appropriate treatment. However, it's crucial to remain patient throughout the process, as visible improvement takes time.

I am facing hair loss problem since 5 years 6 months ago I consulted a dermatologist after tests I have low iron and d3 levels I used tablets 2 months and I used minoxidil bit I faced un wanted ahir so i stopped that topical minoxidil my hair was so long but now it almost damaged

Female | 19

The hair loss you are going through is because you have low ferritin and low vitamin D levels in your body. This will also lead to your hair becoming fragile and eventually falling out. Whenever you try stopping treatments suddenly, you will face more hair loss. Be patient and at the same time try to take your iron and D3 supplements regularly. Talk to the dermatologist again for his contribution. It takes time for the hair to grow, so try to remain calm and give your hair a chance.
