Why are black marks on hand and leg itching?

Patient's Query

Black mark on hand and leg and it's itching

Answered by Dr. Archit Aggarwal

Black marks on your hand and leg that are making you itch could be due to a few things, like contact dermatitis from something you touched, eczema, or even a fungal infection. These can all cause dark spots and itching. I recommend keeping the area clean and dry, avoiding scratching to prevent any infection, and using a mild moisturizer. If it doesn't improve or gets worse, it's a good idea to see a dermatologist for a proper evaluation.

How to remove chicken pox dark spot

Male | 29

Dark spots after chicken pox are known as scars. The­y appear when pox blisters he­al. Don't worry too much, most fade over time. To spe­ed up fading, try using creams or oils made for scars. Also, prote­ct skin from the sun, as it darkens scars.

Hi doc, I have an added areola around my nipples it's not dark in color it's just a light brownish thing with some little hairs that are growing, I went on my periods fully, but they came early because of the emergency pill I used. I then took two pregnancy tests after seeing the change in my breasts and they were all negative I'm curious now what could cause the change

Female | 24

The emergency pill can cause hormonal changes, and this might result in breast changes such as an extra areola that is light brown with some hairs. Even if the pregnancy tests are negative, there could still be hormonal fluctuations leading to variations in breasts. Most likely, it is nothing serious and will return to normal soon. Watch out for it but if you are worried about anything then feel free to ask a doctor for advice.

Bruises under the tongue

Male | 60

Some­times, accidentally biting the toungue or eating hard foods cause­s bruising. These bruises usually he­al within one or two weeks by the­mselves. To ease­ any pain or discomfort, try soft foods and avoid spicy or acidic ones until healing occurs. If it persists, visiting a doctor may provide help.

Sir ye pochna tha mujy kamar ki side pe bada sa dana nilka kisi object sy takraya ta ab wo jaga phool gai a ek jafta ogya a ab nela ogya a pain ni ota pr kam ni o raha

This will then require a medical specialist to assess the swelling and find out what causes it. It is recommended to visit a dermatologist in such cases, who can detect and treat skin diseases. However, do not attempt self diagnosis

Pitti and kujli rash padh rahe hain aur Kyon chal rahi hai

Male | 22

The most common reasons behind this are allergies and skin irritation. You should pay attention to the products you use because they should not contain any harmful ingredients. To fight against this problem, moisturize well and avoid using soaps and chemicals that are too harsh.

I'm 22 years old male. I have some fungal infections in my hip and my leg in almost 18+ months. I have some skin care creams but not cure

Male | 22

A persistent fungal infection is quite often the cause of discomfort, it may be accompanied by itching, redness and flaking of the skin. Among the very common causes are exposure to moisture, hot conditions, and touching surfaces that are infected with fungus. Sometimes, it is not enough to merely find an over-the-counter cream that gives you temporary relief; it can well be improved, but sometimes a total solution is still impossible. My choice is the use of complex treatments that may be also over the counter, for example, antifungal drugs given on doctor’s recommendation along with making sure cleanliness and the affected areas are kept dry. A visit to the doctor often is the time for specific ways of dealing with the situation and also for quicker management of the condition. You are not alone in it. If you are still hesitating, remember that professional help can actually solve your problems very brilliantly.
