Why do I have patches on my face and melasma?

Patient's Query

Dermatology

Answered by Dr. Anju Methil

Facial discoloration can be concerning, and patches may suggest various causes, including sun exposure, hormonal changes, or skin conditions. Melasma often appears as brown or tan patches, usually on the cheeks, forehead, or upper lip, frequently linked to hormonal shifts. To address this, consider using broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, which protects against further darkening. Topical treatments and chemical peels can also be effective; however, it's best to consult a dermatologist for a personalized plan. Their expertise can ensure you receive the safest and most effective care.

Male | 21

Eczema seems like your skin issue. It itches and has bumps full of fluid on red areas. Eczema often targets toes, fingers, and thighs. Causes include allergies, dryness, and genes. Using mild soap, moisturizing daily, and avoiding harsh chemicals may help manage eczema's symptoms.

Hello doctor ,I’m Harsha 23 years old , and I’m suffering from fever from day before yesterday, Along with it I did get few res spots all over the body,and body is so itchy , also my main consent is I do have leg pain and I’m unable to walk unable to stand also and I just observed face is turning red and slight swelling. Just want to know what kind of problem I’m I suffering from

Female | 23

You may be experiencing a viral fever with a skin rash, a condition known as viral exanthem. The leg pain, swelling, and difficulty walking could indicate inflammation in your joints, which is referred to as viral arthritis. These symptoms are often associated with viral infections like dengue or chikungunya. I recommend getting plenty of rest, staying hydrated, and using over-the-counter pain relievers for relief. If your symptoms worsen or persist for an extended period, it's important to consult a dermatologist.

Pigmentation on the face can manifest as dark spots or uneven skin tone, often caused by factors like sun exposure, hormonal changes, or genetics. There are effective treatments available, including topical creams, chemical peels, and laser therapy, which can help lighten these areas. It’s essential to protect your skin with sunscreen and maintain a good skincare routine. For the best results, I encourage you to consult a dermatologist, who can assess your specific situation and recommend a personalized treatment plan.

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.

What is reason of yellow tangue with pain and some infaction on the side of tangue

Female | 29

If you have a yellow tongue with pain as well as white patches on the side you could have oral thrush which is a condition caused by fungus growing in the mouth cavity. Poor oral hygiene may lead to it; the use of antibiotics can also trigger this while having weak immunity systems puts one at greater risk too. To solve this problem people need to improve their oral hygiene, take yogurt containing live cultures or consider seeking help from a dentist if necessary.

Mere penis me infection ho gya hai aur 3saal se chhuti nahi raha hai mai kya karu

Male | 21

Get rid of the infection in your penis as quickly as possible because it is untreated. Infections are responsible for causing redness, swelling, itching, pain, or discharge. Leaving it untreated for 3 years is risky and can lead to more serious problems. Make sure that you are cleansing the area with water and mild soap on a daily basis. In addition to this, keeping the area dry and avoiding tight clothing will also be beneficial. If the infection does not improve, then you must see a dermatologist for proper treatment.

Why would nothing come out when doctor lanced a cyst

Male | 39

Along with the cutting of the cyst, the doctor expects to see some liquid or pus discharge. Empty content indicates that there was no fluid inside. It is crucial to follow up with the doctor who carried out the procedure or a dermatologist for future management of the lump.

I am 26 year old male and have face black skin present I have Medisalic ointment used

Male | 26

You might be experiencing a condition called hyperpigmentation, which is when some of the skin is darker. Medisalic ointment might not be the right move since it has powerful steroids that may have adverse effects on your skin. I suggest quitting the ointment and soothing your skin with a gentle moisturizer. Additional tip - sun protection - you can cover your skin with a hat or sunscreen. If the issue persists, it's best to seek advice from a dermatologist.

Such masses can arise from various causes, including cysts, warts, or other benign conditions. No pain is a good sign, but axillaries are a reason why this needs to be paid close attention to. I advise you to consult a dermatologist for careful examination and correct diagnosis.

I am suffering from fungal infection since last 6 months. I got relief for few days from the cream which I had bought from the chemist shop. Then this work is done properly. I asked a doctor and took Fluconazole medicine for two-four days, it did not make much difference, still it is itching a lot, so please suggest me some cream or medicine which can help in this problem. The problem should be eliminated from its roots

Male | 16

Some over the counter creams can ease the pain temporarily, they are usually not persistent enough to eradicate the infection. You should visit a dermatologist they will be able to diagnose the particular fungi and prescribe medication like antifungal creams or oral medication such as terbinafine and itraconazole.

My finger is paining so bad it's Swollen and became red and yellowish

Female | 31

The symptoms you’re experiencing suggest inflammation, possibly due to an injury, infection, or a condition like arthritis. Swelling and discoloration are common responses as your body tries to heal. It's essential to keep the finger elevated and apply ice to reduce swelling. Over-the-counter pain relievers can also help manage discomfort. However, if the condition worsens, or if you notice additional symptoms like fever or persistent pain, it’s important to seek medical attention. A dermatologist can provide the appropriate diagnosis and treatment to ensure a complete recovery.

I am 29 old guy suffering from Skin rash issue on my lags, I notice some red patch and at a same time it's very itchy

Male | 29

Skin rashes are caused by factors such as allergic reactions, insect bites, or skin disorders. Those red, flaky patches of skin and the sensation of itching can be attributed to eczema or contact dermatitis. To avoid itchiness, you may try nourishing the skin cream that is good for your skin, or you could also use cold compresses. If the rash is not going away and is becoming more intense, it would be best to see a dermatologist who can evaluate and treat the condition.
