Question 1

I'm noticing these red spots and some etching on the skin around my penis and also on my balls. It's been going on for about 5 days now. Could you let me know what's going on and what I should do about it?

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 want to remove a facial mole but every doctor says there will be a scar the same size as the mole whether it's laser or surgery I really don't want a big scar on my face what are my options here's a pic of the mole

Accepted Answer

Kindly meet a Dermatologist to assess if there are other moles elsewhere in your skin.The other thing to remember is you may reconsider removal if you have given anyone of these moles as identify proof somewhere like on a passport or driving license. You can still get it removed but then you need to carry the medical certificate stating the details of the procedure. Laser and excision are two options with their independent merit and demerits. There will be any scar but a stitch line that will faint away with time and some treatment.

Question 3

I'm struggling with my curly and dry hair, and I'm on the lookout for a good shampoo and conditioner. I've heard that it's important for these products to be paraben and SLS free, and Im wondering if that's really necessary or if sticking to a reputable brand would be just as effective. What do dermatologists generally think about using paraben and SLS-free products?

Accepted Answer

Sebamed shampoo is advised to the patient.

I've had this small skin tag near my anus for about 23 years. It's not a hemorrhoid because it doesnt hurt, but it does swell up a bit during bowel movements. Im really curious to know if this is actually a skin tag or if it could be something else. Also, how can I get it removed?

consult general surgeon for physical examination
