Question 2

I've had this semi-circle shaped rash for about 45 days now, and it's red and itchy when I touch it. It's right between my neck and chest, and I'm noticing it might be getting a bit drier. Is this just a common skin issue, or should I be more concern...

Accepted Answer

The semi-circle shaped skin rash that is red, itchy, and situated between your neck and chest for 4-5 days may be a case of ringworm, also known as tinea corporis. To treat this, you can use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the rash does not improve or worsens, it is advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

Question 3

I recommend trying a gentle and effective moisturizer like Cetaphil Restoraderm Eczema Calming Body Moisturizer.

Additionally, make sure to keep your baby well-hydrated by giving him plenty of fluids throughout the day.

Question 5

-Hi, the dark spots from lichen planus (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) can take time to fade. Use sunscreen daily, consider creams with ingredients like kojic acid or glycolic acid, and consult a dermatologist for treatments like chemical peels or l

Question 6

I've noticed a single white pimple, or maybe it's a mole, on my penis for the last few days. There isn't any irritation or itching, it's just there. Should I be concerned about this? What could it possibly be?

Accepted Answer

These are common and usually harmless. However, it is important to monitor any changes in size, color, or shape. If you notice any changes or if it causes any discomfort, you should consult a doctor for further evaluation. No treatment is usually required for Fordyce spots or pearly penile papules.
