Medications and certain light-based therapies can help with regards to this, but the results vary and can be unpredictable, they may have severe side effects too.

Shall i get treatment for sensitive skin?

Female | 33

Living with sensitive skin can be frustrating. Your skin may redden, itch, and burn, often triggered by genetics and certain products. Use gentle, fragrance-free products, avoid hot showers as they can be harsh, and shield your delicate skin from the sun's rays. With proper care, your sensitive skin can feel comfortable again.

Cysts can make the area swell, feel tender, and look red. They may occur due to blocked oil glands or hair follicles. Don't touch or squeeze it. Using warm compresses helps ease swelling. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a dermatologist.

Ian suffering from Padar thamarai fungal infection and how to cure this problem? And I am not able to eat non veg also.

Female | 44

By Padar Fungal infection it looks like you are talking about fungal infection of the foot which might present with the flaky or itchy sole. Generally it is more on one feet or just affecting one feet. If it is affecting both feet then its asymmetrical. The treatment is you have to wear less of shoes so that sweating is less. Open footwear is most preferable. Topical and oral antifungals is the mainstay treatment but if nail is also involved then treatment has to be taken for the long time so that the reserve side of the infection is treated. Consult a dermatologist for proper consultation.

I am a 24 year old girl who has undergone culture test frequently and taken medication but I’m still itchy In my perineum and it looks whitish . I’ve also applied steroid creams. Today I came back from a long trip and my liner was soaked with discharge and some of it looks like chunky cheese

Female | 24

It appears that you could be dealing with a yeast infection. Yeast is a type of germ that can cause itching, white discharge and sometimes looks like chunky cheese. Taking antibiotics or wearing tight clothes can sometimes cause yeast infections. You can try using over-the-counter antifungal creams for a few weeks to see if it helps. In addition, wearing loose cotton clothes and avoiding scented products in that area may also help. If the condition persists, you can visit a dermatologist.

External haemorrhoids without pain . But has some mass that doesn’t itch or makes it any hard for bowel moment .. suggest me some cream

Female | 21

If it is true that you have external hemorrhoids, then it means those swollen blood vessels around your back passage are the ones to blame. They may be harmless, but you feel that a bulging mass. This could be the case as well due to straining when having a bowel movement, pregnancy, or sitting in one position for a long time. To make your pain less severe, you can use the medication for hemorrhoids which you can buy without a prescription, or use ointments such as Preparation H. Spread it out over the affected area as the label says. Don't forget to include high-fiber foods in your diet, drink a lot of water, and try to be active. If the condition continues or worsens, go to a gastroenterologist for a thorough examination and advice.

how to remove drk black spot on face

Male | 58

Dark black spots on the face can get there because of sunburns, patches left by acne, or even hormone illness. Although they are sometimes totally harmless, most people do feel shy when looking at them in the mirror. Using gentle exfoliants like glycolic acid, applying precautions like using sunscreen daily, and getting treatments like laser therapy or chemical peels from a dermatologist can help lighten these spots over time.

Hi there im a 47 year old black male I went to a traditional circumsation I'm now on 5weeks the foreskin went back to the head like uncircumcised and is swollen but not paining

Male | 47

You might be having a case of paraphimosis. This is the condition when the foreskin is stuck behind the head of the penis and it becomes swollen. It is crucial to first try to push the foreskin back over the head very gently to take away the swelling. If it still doesn't go back or worsens, you should see a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

Itchy, rashy skin down there is no fun, especially in the heat. This could be jock itch - a fungal thing. Nature's remedies like neem, turmeric, and aloe may help. Stay away from tight clothes. Keep the area dry and airy. Eat healthy foods.

I am having acne or pimple on my face and scars too. My skin is rough and sometimes oily. When I wash my face it becomes rough and Whitens. I am having dandruff too. What should I do?

Female | 25

It sounds like you’re experiencing a combination of acne and rough skin, which can be linked to excess oil production and possibly inflammation. Your skin's reaction to washing may indicate sensitivity. For improved skin health, consider using a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser and a light moisturizer designed for oily skin. Exfoliating once a week can help with texture. Also, managing dandruff with a medicated shampoo may benefit your overall skin clarity. However, I recommend consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice and treatment options tailored to your specific needs.

Buring sensation in skin and getting dryness continuously

Male | 22

A burning sensation and persistent dryness on the skin can stem from various factors, such as allergies, skin conditions, or environmental influences. It's vital to keep your skin moisturized using gentle, fragrance-free lotions, and to stay hydrated. Avoid hot showers and harsh soaps, as they can exacerbate symptoms. Consider using soothing products containing ingredients like aloe vera or calendula. If these measures don’t improve your situation or if symptoms worsen, I recommend consulting a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation and tailored treatment plan.

I have pimples on my all face and it increases day by day

Female | 24

Acne can occur due to various factors like hormonal changes, stress, or diet. These skin blemishes can develop as excess oil and dead skin cells clog pores. To help manage this situation, consider maintaining a regular skincare routine, including gentle cleansing and non-comedogenic products. Staying hydrated and eating a balanced diet may also support skin health. It's important to avoid picking at the blemishes to prevent scarring. If the condition worsens or does not improve, I recommend consulting a dermatologist for personalized treatment options.

Skin continuous pimples on face

Female | 25

These may stem from various factors such as hormonal fluctuations, stress, or clogged pores. Often, simple adjustments to your skincare routine, such as using gentle cleansers and non-comedogenic products, can help. A stable diet and proper hydration also give a good clue for freeing the skin of this problem. Nevertheless, in case this matter does not fade but gets worse, I propose a dermatologist's advice; they would make a proper personal assessment and accordingly suggest the most efficient cure strategy.
