Question 1

Im 28 and have a history of severe nodular acne. My skin is still really sensitive and I get occasional breakouts. Ive been using a basic face cream and an acne treatment cream, but now Im noticing signs of aging like dry patches, fine lines, and dullness. I dont do facials or anything because Im scared of hygiene at salons. How can I start an anti-aging routine at home or a salon that wont trigger acne? Im also looking for cost-effective options that wont clog my pores or cause breakouts.

Dermatologist opinion is advised.

Ive been using Panderm NM cream for the past six months, but I want to stop using it now. Can you help me figure out how to discontinue this cream without facing any side effects?

Accepted Answer

It is not recommended to abruptly stop using Panderm NM cream as it may lead to withdrawal effects or rebound symptoms. It is advisable to gradually taper off the use of this cream. You can start by reducing the frequency of application and then eventually stop using it. Additionally, you can switch to a milder steroid cream like Eumovate cream for a smoother transition. Consult your healthcare provider for a proper tapering schedule and further guidance.
