Question 2

I have pimple-prone skin and sometimes struggle with cystic acne and itching. Right now, I'm using Erytop gel twice a day. Im a bit confused about which soap to use, Dermadew Acne or Dermadew Lite. Can you help me decide which one would be better for...

Accepted Answer

For pimple-prone skin with cystic acne and itching, it's essential to choose a gentle, non-comedogenic soap that won't clog pores._Dermadew Acne vs. Dermadew Lite_1. Dermadew Acne: Contains salicylic acid (2%), which helps:- Exfoliate the skin- Unclog pores- Reduce acne2. Dermadew Lite: A gentler, fragrance-free version with:- Lower salicylic acid concentration (0.5%)- Soothing ingredients like aloe vera_Recommendation_If you have severe acne and itching, Dermadew Acne might be a better option due to its higher salicylic acid concentration. However, if you have sensitive skin, Dermadew Lite could be a better choice.

Question 4

Suffering from infection in inner thighs near penis (May be fungal)....So much itching is happening in this place..Worried about that....Using itchguard from last 4 days....
Please suggest what to do as it is itching too much....

Accepted Answer

You may have a fungal infection in the groin area. In addition to using Itchguard cream, I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream twice daily on the affected area for 2 weeks. Keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting clothes, and avoid scratching to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

Question 5

Ive been dealing with pimples and acne, so Ive been using B-bact ointment and Aquaminol lotion. Today, one of my pimples got irritated and started bleeding when I washed my face. Now theres a blood clot. What should I do now to take care of it?

Accepted Answer

It's essential to address the bleeding pimple and blood clot properly to promote healing and prevent infection.Assessing the situation:1. Bleeding pimple: The bleeding could be due to the pimple being scratched, popped, or irritated during washing.2. Blood clot: The blood clot has formed to protect the wound and promote healing.Immediate steps:1. Stop using B-bact ointment and aquaminol lotion for now: Avoid applying any topical treatments to the affected area until it's healed.2. Clean the area gently: Wash the area with lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap. Pat dry with a clean towel.3. Apply a cold compress: A cold compress or an ice pack wrapped in a cloth can help reduce swelling and ease pain.4. Avoid picking or scratching: Resist the temptation to pick or scratch the blood clot, as this can lead to infection, scarring, or prolonged healing.Promoting healing:1. Keep the area moisturized: Apply a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer to the affected area to promote healing and prevent dryness.2. Use a topical antibiotic ointment (if prescribed): If your doctor prescribes a topical antibiotic ointment, apply it as directed to help prevent infection.

Question 6

Is it okay to use Lacto Calamine to treat dark spots? Im worried it might make my skin dull or darker. Does it have any side effects or long-term impact on my skin?

Accepted Answer

Lacto Calamine can be used to treat dark spots on the skin. It contains ingredients like zinc oxide and glycerin which help in reducing dark spots and improving skin tone. It is unlikely to make your skin dull or darker. Apply a thin layer of lacto calamine on the affected areas twice a day for best results.
