Having white scare on foreskin and itching?
White scare on foreskin some time itching
Dr. Archit Aggarwal
Trichologist
Answered on 18th May '24
It appears that you may be suffering from thrush, a fungal infection. White patches and itching on the foreskin are some of the most typical symptoms of it. This might occur when the balance of yeast is uneven which is why the pathogenic fungi will multiply. The use of a clean and dry area may eliminate this risk. It's best to consult a dermatologist who can prescribe anti-fungal medication tailored to your condition.

It's important to get examined by a healthcare professional, like a dermatologist or a urologist, to diagnose any concerns regarding HSV-1 or HSV-2 accurately. Avoid self-diagnosis based on appearance, as it can be misleading. Early detection and proper medical guidance are crucial for managing any potential infections.

Can dark and scaly marks on the penis be from masturbation?
I am an 18 year old male who has had a red mark, presumably from masturbation on my penis for the last couple of years. It hasn’t changed but I’ve persisted masturbation so maybe that’s why. The color of my skin there is dark so the mark looks reddish-pink and the skin is a bit scaly and dry but it does not hurt or bleed. I don’t know if it’s friction burn or something else.

It seems that what you are going through may likely be hyperpigmentation from inflammation. This could be caused by constant rubbing during the time you are masturbating which can result in rough, scaly skin that will be red or pink in color. Keeping the area clean, protected, and well moisturized is important. Using a mild, scentless moisturizer is a great way to start. Whether the symptoms persist or get more severe, it's worth making an appointment with a dermatologist so they can give you proper advice.

Answered on 18th May '24
It is not unusual for the untreated cut marks to turn into scars. Maybe the diluted glycerine solution will not be sufficient to help. You can consider adding some aloe vera gel to speed up the healing. Ensure the cut area is cleansed and well moisturized to let nature do the rest of the healing.

Is EliteGlo Cream Safe Without Steroids?
Is eliteglo cream is safe or its a steriod cream
Dr. Anju Methil
Cosmetologist
Answered on 18th May '24
Eliteglo Cream is not considered safe due to its ingredient clobetasol, a corticosteroid, which can cause negative effects. Long-term use of steroid creams without medical supervision can thin the skin and lead to stretch marks and other skin conditions. Immediate effects like redness, itching, or burning are common but usually temporary. For personalized advice and safer alternatives, please consult a dermatologist.

Dark Spots on Ankles: Causes and Treatment Guide
Hi I've been having some dark spots like blackheads on both foot around my ankle and would like to know what it is
Dr. Archit Aggarwal
Trichologist
Answered on 18th May '24
Ankle spots could result from calluses or corns. These develop from repeated friction, say rough footwear. While mostly harmless, they can feel uncomfortable. Maintaining clean, moisturized feet helps. Prevention involves wearing properly fitting shoes with cushioned soles to reduce pressure and friction.

Red Spot Under Big Toenail: Causes and Treatment
I have a red spot under my big toenail.
Dr. Anju Methil
Cosmetologist
Answered on 18th May '24
A red spot beneath your toenail indicates subungual hematoma. It must have happened from an injury that caused bleeding under the nail. That red spot is trapped blood. Leave it be if it's painless. Your nail will grow out in months. However, if it really hurts, visit a dermatologist.

Could Bump on My Nose Piercing Be a Keloid?

Dr. Ishmeet Kaur
Dermatologist
Answered on 18th May '24
If you've had a bump on your nose piercing for 3 years, it could be a keloid or a hypertrophic scar. Keloids are raised and can grow beyond the piercing site, while hypertrophic scars are raised but confined to the area of the piercing. It's best to consult a dermatologist to determine the exact cause and get appropriate treatment options.

Painful Scrotum Sores: Causes and Treatments
I’m having sores on my scrotum skin and it’s painful . I don’t know the cause .
Dr. Anju Methil
Cosmetologist
Answered on 18th May '24
Common reasons include infections like folliculitis, herpes, and fungal problems. These arise from shaving, sweating, and lack of hygiene. Ease the discomfort and heal the sores by staying clean, and dry. Also, try wearing loose-fitting clothes. Use over-the-counter creams pharmacists suggest. But if it worsens or won't go away, see a dermatologist. They'll properly diagnose and treat you.

Chronic skin infection resembling ringworm needing urgent treatment
Hello I have been having a skin infection of something that looks like ringworm. It starts like a pimple and later widens into different sizes. It started appearing on my thighs and is now appearing on every other part of my body except my face and scalp. There are moments when my skin is void of any but on other periods it appears almost every where with a lot on my fingers and palms. It's been on and off for more than 10 years now. I've consulted several dematologist with each having a different diagnosis and prescribing different creams to be applied on the affected spots but those have not helped me in any way. I truly do not know what else to do. Please help.
Dr. Anju Methil
Cosmetologist
Answered on 18th May '24
Ringworms often spread and return if not treated well. Fungal infections love warm, damp body areas. Antifungal creams don't always work for severe and stubborn infections. I suggest seeing an experienced dermatologist. They can evaluate your unique condition much better and recommend medications or other treatments suitable for this.

Infectiousness of Syphilis with 1:2 Titer Explained
Hello, can someone with syphillis with a 1:2 titer still be infectious?
Dr. Ishmeet Kaur
Dermatologist
Answered on 18th May '24
Syphilis, even with low levels, remains contagious. It spreads through intimate contact. The bacteria behind syphilis causes sores, rashes, fever, and body pains. But don't worry, antibiotics like penicillin can cure it. However, remember - symptoms disappearing doesn't mean the infection's gone. Getting proper treatment matters. So, be vigilant. If concerned, see a dermatologist now.

Reason Behind Itching and Redness In Thighs
Itching and redness between thighs
Dr. Archit Aggarwal
Trichologist
Answered on 18th May '24
There can be many reasons for this. It could be due to heat, sweat, or friction. Skin usually rubs against each other whe you walk or do any activity, and wearing tight clothes can further increase friction. Wearing loose clothing can help this problem. You should also keep yourself dry and use mild soap and pat dry your thighs after taking a bath. But if the itchiness and redness don't go away, talk to a dermatologist.
