Accepted Answer

Milia and molluscum are two distinct skin conditions that can be confusing to diagnose.

Milia

Milia, also known as milk spots or keratin cysts, are small, white or yellowish bumps on the skin. They occur when keratin, a protein, becomes trapped beneath the skin's surface.

Characteristics of milia:

- Small, usually 1-2 mm in diameter
- White or yellowish in color
- Firm to the touch
- Typically found on the face, especially around the eyes, nose, and mouth
- Can also occur on the arms, legs, and torso

Molluscum Contagiosum

Molluscum contagiosum is a viral skin infection caused by the molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV). It leads to the formation of small, flesh-colored or pink bumps on the skin.

Characteristics of molluscum contagiosum:

- Small, usually 2-5 mm in diameter
- Flesh-colored or pink in color
- Soft to the touch
- Typically found on the face, neck, arms, and legs
- Can be contagious through skin-to-skin contact or sharing personal items

I have some blade cut marks on my hand and Im looking for ways to completely remove the scars. Can you let me know the treatment options and how much it might cost?

Accepted Answer

consult dermatologist for that

Question 5

Can i use coconut oil under foreskin on penis to keep it clean from smegma ? If not what is the substitutes

Accepted Answer

Using coconut oil under the foreskin can actually lead to a buildup of smegma and increase the risk of infections. A better substitute for keeping the area clean is to use a mild, unscented soap and warm water during daily hygiene routines. Additionally, applying a thin layer of over-the-counter antifungal cream like Clotrimazole cream twice a day can help prevent smegma buildup and maintain proper hygiene.

Question 6

Ive been using Deriva BPO gel for my moderate acne for about a week, and while the redness I had is now gone, Ive noticed some dark patches around my mouth. Could this be hyperpigmentation caused by the gel, or might it be something else?

side effects include nausea, headache etc , continue all the medications ..
