Why Are My Throat and Joints Darkened?

My throat and various joints of my body are very dark for the last five to six years. My weight is above 80 kg. And I have high pressure

Your skin might be affected by acanthosis nigricans which is identified by dark patches, even on the throat and joints. Being overweight and having high blood pressure are risk factors for this. The treatment is to lose weight and control the BP, as a result, the patches can be healed. Follow a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and be consistent with your prescribed medications to control your blood pressure.

My baby is 1.8yr old girl...she got fine hairs at her private part and underarms and little facial hair also...it's from birth....her dad also got much hairy skin..is it normal about her

Female | 1

It’s normal for your 1.8-year-old daughter to have fine hair in those areas. It could be because her dad is hairy – sometimes it runs in the family. These hairs are not a problem and do not require any treatment. As she gets older these hairs may become thicker, but that is fine too.

Sir mujhe fungal infection hai or raat ko itching bahutvhoti hai or dark patches hai mai 1.5 years se medicine kha Raha hu plz help me??

Sounds more like a case of chronic fungal infection, but itching and the patches are common symptoms. Better visit the dermatologist, who will be able to tell for sure what kind of treatment is proper for this case. They will recommend you a course of special antifungal creams and oral medicine

It is not acne.Its bacterial infection. You need to apply Antibiotic ointment to it. To prevent frequent infections, you should go for laser hair removal. it will keep the area clean and hygienic.

I have allergy (hives) so I have applied calamine lotion which doctor recommend but the allergy got worse

Female | 19

The­ lotion possibly irritated your skin further. Here­'s how to ease the discomfort: Stop using the­ lotion immediately. Gently wash affe­cted areas with mild soap and water. Apply an unsce­nted, gentle moisturize­r to hydrate and soothe irritated skin. Be­ vigilant about avoiding known allergens going forward.

Lipomas are the benign, slow growing tumors of fat tissues. Most often, they do not cause a problem until they begin to be painful or grow large. Dermatologist can diagnose and treat lipomas. Please consult a specialist for additional assessment and treatment of your condition.

Can i get hpv from touching doors,keyboards, cups, clothes or shaking hands ? Thank you so much.

Male | 32

HPV means human papillomavirus. You can’t get it from things like cups, clothes, doors, and keyboards. This virus is often spread through skin-to-skin contact. It can cause warts or even cancer in some cases. The best way to keep yourself safe from this virus is to get the HPV vaccine.
