You might have hives, which can be itchy skin and even swelling on your lips. Hives can be caused by different reasons such as allergies, stress, or infections. It is great that you have completely stopped using sulfur-containing products. Attempt to 'take an over-the-counter antihistamine' like diphenhydramine for help with itching and swelling. Besides, try to understand and avoid what could be the cause of your hives. If the issue persists, it is best to visit a dermatologist.

I suggest that you go to a dermatologist to have a thorough examination of your mole. One should make sure that other serious conditions are not the cause, such as skin cancer or infection.

Female | 17

Swelling, pain, and discoloration in the toe are normal after the ingrowing toenail is removed because of the bruising. It may be from the shots that removed the sensation in the area. Don't worry; if it's been a day since the procedure, the formation of a bruise is common. Temperature, severe pain, redness of skin, or the presence of any pus are signs of infection. Follow the recommendations for keeping the region spotless, raising your foot, and taking painkillers. If you think you set out signs of infection, contact a dermatologist.

Male | 16

At your age, losing hair or having thinning hair could occur because of stress, poor nutrition, hormonal changes, or using strong hair products. For instance, a dry scalp or a fungus can cause dandruff. To reduce stress levels, eat a well-balanced diet, use mild hair care products, and try anti-dandruff shampoos. Visit a dermatologist for more personalized recommendations.

Iam 36 years old I have oily skin with open pores I need some moisturizer for.my skin to.look fresh kindly suggest

Female | 36

You need a non-comedogenic moisturiser which doesn’t cause any breakout or add to the oily state of the skin. Squalene, ceramide containing moisturisers which do not block the pores are recommended for oily skin. Please consult a dermatologist for thorough analysis of your skin to get a customised prescription suitable for your skin. Each one has a unique skin and has to use best suitable products to maintain a healthy skin. Open pores can be reduced by using retinol containing creams at bedtime. If they are severe procedural treatments like laser toning, micro needling radio frequency can help.

Hi I am a 16 year old male. I have had these 2 bumps on my foreskin I’m just wondering if it is penile cancer. They are whiteish. It doesn’t cause pain or bleeding or anything until a few days ago when I tried to one of them.

Male | 16

Those bumps on your foreskin might be Fordyce spots, not cancer. Fordyce spots are small, whitish-yellow bumps that sometimes show up on genitals. They're harmless, common, and usually painless. You shouldn't pick or pop them. If you're worried, talk to a dermatologist to get checked out. But chances are, it's nothing serious.

I'm 39 from Nigeria. I have a black, cone-like lump on the upper left side of my belly. It started as small bump some years back but with time developed to 2cm in diameter. It's very hard. I feel pain around it each time I'm nervous and itchy sometimes. I have had scan conducted but didn't reveal exactly what it's.. it suggested that Stony bump appears like degenerating Lipoma. .

Male | 39

This hard mass might be a lipoma, which is usually harmless and consists of fat cells. These growths mainly develop under the skin and grow slowly over time. Although it is good that you have had a scan, sometimes further tests are necessary for conclusive results. However, if it is very painful or bothers you a lot, consider consulting with a surgeon who may recommend its removal.

Which treatment is best for vitiligo in children below 5 years, homeopathy, ayurveda, or allopathy? What treatment is given to kids for focal vitiligo above lips?

Male | 3

The best treatment for vitiligo in children below 5 years old would depend on the severity of the condition. Generally, topical corticosteroids are the most commonly used treatment for vitiligo in children, and they are used in combination with other treatments like phototherapy, topical calcineurin inhibitors, and systemic immunomodulators. For focal vitiligo above the lips, the treatment of choice is usually topical corticosteroids. Additionally, topical immunomodulators and phototherapy can be used in combination with topical corticosteroids to improve the effectiveness of the treatment. Homeopathy, ayurveda, and other alternative treatments can be used in conjunction with conventional treatments, but should be discussed with a doctor before starting.

You may have a skin condition called folliculitis which can cause itching and tiny red bumps on your skin. This happens when the follicles become inflamed caused by the growth of hairs. Try washing with soft soap, avoiding tight clothes, and keeping your skin hydrated. If it doesn't itching, see a dermatologist for more advice.

This is normal for your age. Acne happens when oil and dead cells clog hair follicles. This causes pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. Try gentle cleansers, avoid oily products, and don't pick your skin. Wash your face regularly with mild soap. You can also visit a dermatologist.

I'm 23 yr old. I've been experiencing pain and burning inflammation sensations under my left breast right below the nipple for 2 days now. there's no symption visible apart from swelling but i can feel some hard cyst like structure below the nipple. Please help!

Female | 23

You might have mastitis, a condition causing breast pain, swelling, and inflammation. That hard cyst-like lump could be an abscess - a pocket of infection. Mastitis happens when milk ducts get blocked, bacteria infect the area, or engorgement occurs. Applying warm compresses and gently massaging the spot might relieve discomfort. However, if symptoms don't improve or worsen, it's wise to see a dermatologist for proper evaluation and potential treatment.

I have discovered a small lump on my foreskin. It looks like a small whitehead and doesn't hurt unless it's poked about, similar to a spot. Just want to know if this is normal?

Male | 16

You described a whitehead as a clogged sebaceous gland or harmless zit. These occur from time to time when sweat and oil get trapped. Unless it hurts or grows larger there is likely nothing to worry about. Keep it clean and don’t pick at it. Talking to a dermatologist is always a good idea if it changes or you are uneasy.

Male | 27

It sounds like you may have a skin problem on your penis known as balanitis. Red rashes and dryness on the foreskin could be caused by this. It can result from poor hygiene; being irritated by certain soaps, detergents, or even a yeast infection. Thoroughly clean it with warm water and mild soap slowly and then apply fragrance-free moisturizer. If it doesn't improve, contact a dermatologist.

my friend literally woke up with a swollen right side of her face. she had experienced pain on her mouth. the dentist could find nothing wrong and prescribed an antibiotic with no results. her face remains swollen with no discomfot or mobility problems. what would have caused this.

Female | 54

Your friend might suffer from sialadenitis, an inflamed salivary gland condition. A blockage prevents smooth saliva flow, causing swelling and pain around the jaw. Since teeth weren't problematic, glands could be the culprit. Warm compresses and water intake might ease discomfort by promoting saliva flow. However, if swelling persists, visiting a dermatologist is advisable for assessment and potential treatment.
