Question 1

I've noticed these small, cutting marks and some dryness on my penis foreskin over the past 5 days. It kind of looks like the skin is cracking. I haven't had any sexual intercourse for the last 2 months, so I'm a bit confused about what's causing it. I've tried using folic acid but it doesn't seem to be working. Do you have any idea what might be going on and what treatment I should try?

Accepted Answer

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

Question 2

I've noticed a big rash on the side of my neck, and I'm worried it might be caused by lizard urine getting on my skin. It's pretty uncomfortable and I'm not sure what to do about it. Could this really be the cause, and what should I do to treat it?

Accepted Answer

If you suspect a skin rash is caused by lizard urine, immediately wash the affected area with soap and water, then apply an antiseptic cream and a topical steroid cream to reduce inflammation; take an oral antihistamine to alleviate itching and seek medical attention if the rash worsens, spreads, or is accompanied by fever, swelling, or difficulty breathing.

Question 5

I've been dealing with perioral hyperpigmentation on my cheeks, and it turns out my sister has the same issue. My doctor suggested I use Kozilite H cream with hydroquinone 2%. Do you think it's safe for my face, and how long should I stick with this ...

Accepted Answer

1. Hydroquinone 2% is generally safe for short-term use (3-6 months) on the face, but prolonged use can lead to ochronosis, skin thinning, or rebound hyperpigmentation; use Kozilite-H cream as directed by your doctor, and monitor for any adverse effects. 2. For dark circles, consider a non-irritating, hydroquinone-free under-eye cream containing ingredients like caffeine, peptides, vitamin K, or niacinamide; some good options include Kama Ayurveda Under Eye Cream, La Roche-Posay Pigmentclar Eye Cream, or Olay Eyes Deep Hydrating Eye Gel.

Question 6

I'm a bit concerned about my nails. The tips are starting to look more transparent, and when I use a nail cutter, I can trim them shorter, right where that clear part is, even though the nail bed above still seems fine. I wish I could show you a pict...

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called onycholysis, where the nail separates from the nail bed and becomes transparent at the tips. This can be caused by various factors such as trauma, fungal infections, psoriasis, or underlying medical conditions. To treat onycholysis, you can try using an antifungal medication like Terbinafine (Lamisil) cream applied to the affected nails twice daily. Additionally, keeping your nails dry and clean, avoiding harsh chemicals, and wearing gloves when doing tasks that may damage your nails can help prevent further damage. If the condition persists or worsens, it's best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
