Question 1

For last few days I have notices red, non itchy bumbs on penis glans. Please suggest any medicine/ treatment.

Accepted Answer

Consult a urologist or dermatologist, for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, as red, non-itchy bumps on the penis glans can be caused by various factors, including Fordyce spots, pearly penile papules, cysts, or STIs.

Question 2

Is Metrogyl Gel effective in treating acne? I am a 17 year old girl with a lot of pimples on my face. I have used the regular acne creams but they haven’t worked well so far.

Accepted Answer

Metrogyl Gel, containing metronidazole, is primarily used to treat rosacea, a skin condition characterized by redness, inflammation, and acne-like symptoms. While it might help with acne, its effectiveness for this purpose is limited.

For acne treatment, consider the following:

1. Benzoyl peroxide-based creams or gels (2.5% or 5%) for mild to moderate acne.
2. Salicylic acid-based products (0.5% or 2%) for blackheads and whiteheads.
3. Sulfur-based products for their antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Consult a dermatologist for personalized advice and treatment. They may prescribe topical or oral medications, such as retinoids, antibiotics, or hormonal treatments, depending on your acne severity and type.

Question 3

I'm 21 years old and I haven't seen much growth in my beard and mustache. Is there something I can do to help them grow, or is this normal for my age?

Accepted Answer

Facial hair growth can be influenced by genetics and hormones. One option to promote beard and mustache growth is to use Minoxidil solution 5%. You can apply it on the areas where you want hair growth twice a day. It may take several months to see results, so patience is key. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new treatment.

Question 6

My father used scabidol ointment for antibacterial infections. After using for a week he got white skin patches on the applied area. Kindly help

Accepted Answer

Scabidol ointment is commonly used to treat scabies and other parasitic infections. However, one of its ingredients, sulfur, can cause skin reactions, including skin depigmentation.

Possible Causes of White Skin Patches

1. Chemical Leukoderma: Sulfur, an ingredient in Scabidol ointment, can cause chemical leukoderma, a condition characterized by the loss of skin pigmentation.
2. Contact Dermatitis: Your father may have developed contact dermatitis, an allergic reaction to one of the ingredients in the ointment.
3. Skin Irritation: Scabidol ointment can be irritating to the skin, especially if used for an extended period.

What to Do Next

1. Stop Using Scabidol Ointment: Immediately discontinue using Scabidol ointment to prevent further skin reactions.
2. Consult a Dermatologist:
