Question 1

I've got a bruise with a yellow center on my left leg, and it's kind of weird because it was itchy at first and then got a little swollen before turning more yellow in the middle. I'm pretty sure I didn't bump into anything. Could an insect have bitten me even though I don't see any bite or puncture marks? It's painful when I press on it, and I'm getting worried it might be some kind of infection. What do you think this could be?

Accepted Answer

You may have a bruise with some inflammation and possible infection. To help with the pain and inflammation, you can take ibuprofen 400mg every 6 hours as needed. Additionally, you can apply a topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin on the affected area twice a day. Make sure to keep the area clean and avoid scratching it. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

Question 2

I've recently noticed some goosebumps all over my body, and when I looked it up, it mentioned something called keratosis pilaris. Could you tell me what this actually means, and if it's anything to be worried about?

Accepted Answer

visit dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management

Question 3

I've recently undergone RF treatment for my Xanthelasma, and while the wound has healed, the skin there doesn't quite match the rest of my skin tone. Do you have any recommendations for creams or treatments that could help even it out?

Accepted Answer

I would recommend using a cream containing hydroquinone to help lighten the skin and reduce any remaining discoloration. You can try using a cream like Melalite Forte cream, applying a thin layer on the affected area once daily in the evening. Make sure to use sunscreen during the day to protect the skin and prevent further darkening.

I'm wondering about the FAS 3 kit instructions. Is it supposed to be taken once a week? And does that mean it's a two-week course, like you take one kit on one day this week and then another the next week? Or is just one kit enough for the whole course?

FAS 3 kit is typically taken as a single dose. The kit contains multiple tablets that are meant to be taken all at once, not spread out over multiple weeks. So, one kit is usually enough to complete the course of treatment.
