Why do I have white coating under foreskin?

Patient's Query

white coating under forskin

Answered by Dr. Anju Methil

White coating under the foreskin is quite common and can be caused by a few things. One possibility is a buildup of smegma, which is a mixture of dead skin cells and oils. This can happen if the area isn't cleaned regularly. Another reason could be a yeast infection, especially if there's also redness, itching, or a yeasty smell. To address this, it's important to gently clean the area daily with warm water and mild soap. If there are any other symptoms present, it's best to see a dermatologist for further evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I don't know if it's jock itch because I sweat alot in that area or its am STI because I am sexually active

Male | 24

Either a jock itch or an STI can cause groin itching. Jock itch results from sweat and friction, leading to redness, itching, and rashes. An STI may have similar symptoms but is related to unprotected sex. Use antifungal creams for jock itch and practice safe sex to prevent STIs. Maintaining good hygiene is also important.

Face pimple and itching and spot

Female | 23

Pimples are a result of pore closures on the skin due to the plugs made of oil and dirt. Itching might be a symptom of your skin being inflamed. To relieve the problem, gently clean your skin with a mild cleaner, don't pick or squeeze the pimple, and use a spot treatment with ingredients such as salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide.

Hi I am the patient of Dr .Vivek Mishra I am under his treatment for pigmentation and acne marks also have done my Skin Peel on last month of 25 th ...Now I am looking for Hydra Facial ..And so need have a word with him ..

Female | 37 years

A Hydra Facial is the best choice of action since it will not only cleanse your skin but also exfoliate and hydrate it, which will ensure good results following the previous peel of the skin. My suggestion is that before getting the skin peel, you should connect with Dr. Vivek Mishra, get the details sorted, and ensure that this treatment fits well within your current care plan. The doctor's advice plays two main roles in both safety and performance. Keep your spirits up, and stay safe!

My skin is very dull and i am having open pores near to the nose are on cheeks, skin texture is uneven.what can be possible reason for that

Female | 27

Dull, oily skin with large pores on the nose and cheeks is a common issue. This can result from excess oil production, genetics, or inadequate skin care. These factors often lead to rough patches and an uneven skin tone. To improve your skin, try using gentle cleansers, exfoliating regularly, and applying a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer. Additionally, staying hydrated is crucial. Open pores can get clogged with dirt and excess oil, but regular exfoliation can help keep them clear. Proper moisturizing prevents dryness without causing excess shine. With consistent care, smooth and evenly-toned skin is achievable.

Female | 20

Your wife is likely to have an infection at the injection site. The symptoms such as heat, pain, and redness are caused when the bacteria get in. The area needs to be cleaned gently and the healthcare provider must be consulted. Antibiotics may be recommended to eliminate the infection. Do not use ice or cover it up without advice as it may aggravate the problem.

My mother had a small lump on her hand so can she take moxiforce cv 625 this medicine

Female | 58

Any lump or soft tissue can be due to many reasons like injury, inflammation, or even tumors. Moxiforce CV 625 is a medicine prescribed to treat infections, but without determining the exact cause of the lump, it is not advisable to use it. It is more preferable to have a doctor to check the lump and decide which is the best treatment.

My name is Kali my problem is skin chulkani hoyeche.

Female | 30

I understand you're dealing with skin itching. Itching can occur when your skin becomes dry and rough, often due to not drinking enough water, using harsh soaps, or cold weather. To manage it, make sure to drink plenty of water, apply moisturizer gently, and avoid harsh soaps. Also, protect your skin from the cold by wearing gloves and scarves.

I am going through severe hair-loss how to cure it

Female | 21

Symptoms usually are marked by losing a heavier amount of hair or thinning patches. One way you can try is to take vitamin-rich food such as biotin and minerals such as zinc, through a balanced diet. Gentle hair care practices, as well as abstaining from strong chemicals, can also make a difference. Nevertheless, seeking medical advice cannot be avoided to determine what exactly requires the intervention and to be offered the right care (therapy).
