Hello Doctor, I am Wame from Botswana and I really need help regarding my son's throat is it normal or am I imagining things? I took a picture of it, can I send so that you can see how it looks like?

Dermatology

Answered by Dr. Anju Methil

It’s understandable to be concerned about your son's throat. Symptoms like redness, swelling, or discomfort can result from various conditions, including infections or allergies. While I can't view images, I recommend observing any other signs, such as difficulty swallowing or fever. It's always best to consult a ENT specialist for an accurate assessment. They can perform a thorough examination and provide the right guidance.

I need some help not sure what to do. Not so long ago I noticed some wierd looking lines on my lower back, I figured it might be from the seats at school as they have pretty sharp wooden supports that when leaned on might make dents like that. But it has been a couple of weeks and these marks are not going away. Not I'm not so sure if it is the seats cause that would normally be gone In a couple days. If I could compare it to anything they are horizontal lines some longer some shorter, a couple of them and (it might sound a little bizarre) but they look somewhat like stab wound scars or something similar, atlast from my point of view.

It is advised to see a dermatologist who will inspect the site and give a prescribed diagnosis. They may also give treatments options that can be used to lessen the lines visibility.

My daughter is 10 year old and she got allergic it's like water ball it's spreading on legs so what is the best treatment for that.

Female | 10

Your daughter may have red hives, itching, and raised bumps on the skin. Often hives are elevated because of allergens like the diverse range of food, insects, or specified materials. Antihistamine drugs such as Benadryl can be used to help relieve the symptoms of itching and swelling. Check again to ensure no food or other substances have caused the allergy, and if it spreads or worsens, seek medical attention.

I think I have accidentally been consuming evening primrose oil for the skin thinking it was a food supplement

Female | 44

Evening primrose oil isn't harmful to the skin, but accidentally consuming it might cause mild stomach issues like nausea or diarrhea. It's not serious, so just stop using it and drink plenty of water to help flush it out. If you feel very uncomfortable, consult a dermatologist for advice.

Female | 18

You are probably having genital herpes, which is a common viral type of infection that can form blisters and sores in the genital area, it seems you are not alone. Genital herpes is commonly spread through sexual contact. Whether or not your boyfriend or you have any symptoms, you may have herpes. If you want to control the symptoms and stop the transmission, you should not have sexual activity and go to a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

As asked earlier that can I exercise if having fungal infection, but now my q is after 1 month of medication my fungal infection is recovered, but due to long use of medicines , stretch marks are visible so now can I exercise..?

Male | 17

It is usual for scars to show up when you are on medication for a long time. Now that the infection is gone, you can begin working out, but you need to take it easy. Stretch marks usually disappear on their own, but applying moisturizer to your skin can help. Always keep in mind that it is your body that will determine the limits, and in case of any pain or discomfort, stop.

I am an 39 year old lady I am having dark acne , my chin is so black I am having black heads and white heads my skin is getting to dull . How these all problems believe my face? Hope you can help me

Female | 39

This could be because you have blackheads and whiteheads. They can be the ones that dull your skin. Acne is caused by the build-up of clogged pores, too much oil, and bacteria. Washing your face with a gentle cleanser, not squeezing the pimples, and using non-comedogenic skincare products that won't clog pores are some ways to help. Visit a dermatologist for more tips.

thanks pr 5 day mai recover ho gya but scar jayega ya nhi halka sa scar dikh rha

Female | 22

A light scar may form after skin healing due to the natural process of tissue repair. This occurs when the skin creates new cells to close up any wounds. To support healing and minimize scarring, keep the area moisturized and protected from sun exposure. Using silicone gel sheets or vitamin E may also be beneficial. If you're concerned about the scar's visibility, I recommend discussing this with a dermatologist for personalized advice.

Itching only on left side particular side only

Female | 34

When the itching is only on one side of your body, it might mean that something is irritant your skin. Occasionally, allergies or dermatitis that is caused by eczema can be the reasons for that. Moreover, nerve disorders or infections may be the causes. Look if you have any rashes or skin discoloration. Try to refrain from scratching as it may cause an infection. The application of a light moisturizer or a calm cream can give some relief.

I am a 17 year old girl, recently I noticed some white small point sized or slightly bigger patches on my hips. I don't know what to do, but I'm afraid this might be some big disease.

Female | 17

It might be a common skin condition called pityriasis alba. This isn't something to worry about. Pityriasis alba can lead to pale patches on the skin, mainly on the face, neck, and arms. You can see them better in summer when your skin is darker. Dryness is what makes the skin turn lighter than it’s supposed to be, the reason for this happening is mostly because of dryness. You might also want to consider moisturizing your skin more often with lotion, or drinking plenty of water helps too. If there is no change after doing all these things then go to a dermatologist who will advise on treatment methods for this condition.

I am a 20 year old female. I've had acne for over 2 years now. I have Acne, small red and white bumps, textured and oily skin as well as hyperpigmentation and post acne dark spots. I Have been using tretinoin twice a week for a month now and have seen slight improvement in the texture of my skin without any dryness or irritation, followed by moisturizer , hyaluronic acid and sunscreen in the morning.

Female | 20

Pimples come from oil and dead skin blocking hair holes. Oily skin makes more pimples. Tretinoin medicine helps by clearing blocked holes. It makes skin better. Using cream, hyaluronic stuff, and sunblock is good too. Keep doing it. Pimples take time to go away. You can also visit a dermatologist.

It could be that you have an allergy or a skin condition that you're trying to address. On further observation, there might be more factors contributing to this. I recommend that you book an appointment with a dermatologist who will give you a diagnosis and the right treatment.

Male | 22

Hello sir since your hair loss is rapid and dandruff issue could be more of flaking, due to DHT(Dihydrotestesterone) which is the root cause of hair loss also known as andogenetic alopecia.... PRP, laser, minoxidil 5% would be an ideal solution for such hair loss condition.

I am 14 year male from India I have a light black line on nail

Male | 14

There are a few reasons why you might have that strange dark line on your nail. If you hurt your nail at all, even just a little bit, it could cause this. On the other hand, not having enough vitamins might also be the cause. Don’t worry if you feel fine and have no other symptoms besides the line, it’s not worth it. In case you do start feeling sick or notice anything else strange happening with your body, visit a dermatologist.

Various factors, including poor hygiene, skin diseases like eczema, or even infections like yeast can cause itching. Keep the area clean and dry, wear loose cotton underwear, and do not scratch. However, if it still itches, consult a dermatologist to diagnose you properly and prescribe proper medication.

I have smegma problem what i do pls hlp me its little bit itching

Male | 22

Due to its nature which comes in the form of oil, and dead cells of the skin, smegma is the only natural substance one needs. When it accumulates, it can cause some aches and pains. Remember to gently wash the skin with water every day. Do not forget to dry off every last drop of water. If itching still stays or aggravates, you should immediately consult a dermatologist to get this problem cured.

My skin tone has become very dark no glow on face and After sometime I am getting married and I want to make the skin a beautiful glowing So please suggest me what treatment should I do.

Female | 28

Achieving a beautiful, glowing skin tone before your wedding involves a combination of skincare and lifestyle practices. Consider incorporating the following steps:
Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin well-hydrated, which contributes to a natural glow.
Skincare Routine: Follow a consistent skincare routine that includes cleansing, toning, moisturizing, and sun protection. Consider using products with ingredients like vitamin C for brightening effects.
Chemical Peels: Consult with a dermatologist about chemical peels. These treatments can help remove dead skin cells, improve skin texture, and promote a radiant complexion.
Microdermabrasion: This exfoliation technique can contribute to smoother and more luminous skin by removing the top layer of dead skin cells.
Healthy Diet: Consume a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and antioxidants. These nutrients support overall skin health.
Avoid Sun Damage: Protect your skin from harmful UV rays by using sunscreen with adequate SPF. Sun exposure can contribute to darkening of the skin.
Before considering any treatments, consult with a dermatologist who can assess your skin type and recommend personalized solutions.
