Question 4

Im a 26-year-old guy living in Mumbai. Ive always been fair, but over the last couple of decades with all the sun exposure and not taking proper care of my skin, my face, hands, and neck have gotten noticeably darker. If I stay indoors for a few days...

Accepted Answer

To help regain your lost complexion and lighten your skin tone, you can consider using topical creams containing hydroquinone, kojic acid, or azelaic acid. These can help lighten dark spots and even out skin tone. Additionally, using a daily sunscreen with high SPF can prevent further darkening of the skin due to sun exposure. As for oral medications, glutathione is a popular choice for skin lightening. It is generally considered safe when taken in appropriate doses.

Question 5

I have small blister like rashes over my fingers shoulders and neck. When I went to a doctor, he told me it was because of poor hygiene and prescribed me a benzyl benzoate solution (ascabiol) and cetrazine. How much time will it take to heal?

Accepted Answer

The blister-like rashes on your fingers, shoulders, and neck can be uncomfortable and concerning.

Diagnosis and Treatment

The doctor's diagnosis suggests that the rashes might be caused by scabies, a skin infestation caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei. The prescribed medications are:

1. Benzyl benzoate solution (Ascabiol): A topical scabicide used to treat scabies.
2. Cetrazine: An antihistamine that can help relieve itching and reduce the allergic response.

Healing Time

The healing time for scabies can vary depending on several factors, such as:

1. Severity of infestation: More severe cases may take longer to heal.
2. Effectiveness of treatment: Adherence to the treatment regimen and proper application of medications can impact healing time.
3. Individual response: People's responses to treatment can vary.

Generally, with proper treatment, scabies can be cured within:

- 2-4 weeks: Symptoms like itching and rash may start to subside.
- 4-6 weeks: Skin lesions and rashes may take longer to heal completely.

3. Acne and black spots: Increased sebum production and clogged pores can lead to acne and black spots.Managing Rebound Effects and Skin Sensitivity
