Question 1

I had ringworm for a few months, and its been treated, but the scars are still there, and theyre pretty large. The ones on my butt are really dark, and I also have them on my back and midriff. Is there any way to completely get rid of these scars in a few months? Are there any creams that can help?

Accepted Answer

You can use a cream containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, and corticosteroids. One such cream is Tri-Luma, which should be applied once daily in the evening. Additionally, you can also consider using Mederma, which is specifically formulated to improve the appearance of scars. Remember to apply sunscreen during the day to protect the skin and prevent further darkening of the scars.

Question 6

Ive been using Skinlite cream for the past 4 years, but I want to stop using it because my skin is starting to get damaged. Im worried about my skin darkening if I stop. Can you suggest a safe substitute or how to transition off it?

Accepted Answer

Skinlite is a topical steroid cream. Prolonged use can lead to skin damage, thinning, and darkening. To minimize the risk of darkening, it's essential to gradually taper off the cream and transition to alternative treatments.Gradual Tapering1. Reduce frequency: Gradually reduce the frequency of applying Skinlite over 2-4 weeks.2. Decrease concentration: If possible, switch to a lower concentration of hydroquinone (2% instead of 4%) or a different formulation.3. Alternate with moisturizer: Apply a moisturizer on alternate days or nights to help your skin adjust.Alternative Treatments1. Kojic acid creams: Kojic acid is a natural alternative to hydroquinone, which can help reduce melanin production.2. Niacinamide creams: Niacinamide has been shown to improve skin hyperpigmentation and brightness.3. Vitamin C serums: Vitamin C can help brighten and even out skin tone.4. Azelaic acid creams: Azelaic acid has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).5. Natural ingredients: Consider using natural ingredients like turmeric, aloe vera, or licorice extract, which have anti-inflammatory and skin-brightening properties.Sun Protection1. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen: Apply a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily, even on cloudy days.2. Wear protective clothing: Wear clothing that covers your skin, such as long-sleeved shirts and pants
