Question 2

I have consulted a doctor , he suggested me to use mela clear cream, Can i use that cream or this may cause any side effects in future?

Accepted Answer

Mela Clear cream is a topical cream that is commonly used to treat hyperpigmentation and dark spots on the skin. It contains a combination of ingredients such as hydroquinone, tretinoin, and corticosteroids. When used as directed by your doctor, Mela Clear cream can be effective in improving skin tone and reducing dark spots. However, it is important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully and not exceed the recommended dosage, as prolonged use of hydroquinone can lead to side effects such as skin irritation, redness, and thinning of the skin. If you experience any adverse reactions while using Mela Clear cream, it is important to discontinue use and consult your doctor for further guidance.

Question 3

The skin around outer side of my right toenail has softened and developed some water type liquid due to infection.

Accepted Answer

This sounds like you may have a paronychia, which is an infection of the skin around the toenail. You can try soaking your foot in warm water with Epsom salts a few times a day to help reduce the infection. You can also apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to the affected area. If the infection is severe or does not improve, you may need to see a doctor for further treatment.
