Question 1

I've got really sensitive skin, and every acne treatment I've tried just ends up making things worse. It's been pretty frustrating. Do you have any recommendations for a cream that's gentle but effective for getting rid of dark acne marks?

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.

Question 2

I've got this rash that's developed on my chest and shoulder. It started on Thursday as just a small itchy spot, but now it's a raised area that's hot and irritated to the touch. I've tried taking allergy pills, but they haven't made any difference. ...

Accepted Answer

This sounds like a case of contact dermatitis. I recommend using a topical corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream applied to the affected area twice a day for 1 week. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching and inflammation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Question 3

I'm really struggling with flaky dandruff and it's been going on for about a year now. I've tried using selsun and fungiside shampoos twice a week, but they haven't helped at all. Could you give me some advice on what else I might try?

Accepted Answer

Flaky dandruff that is not responding to over-the-counter shampoos may require a stronger treatment. I recommend trying a shampoo containing ketoconazole, such as Nizoral. You can use it twice a week for 4 weeks. If there is still no improvement, you may need a prescription-strength shampoo or medication from a dermatologist.

Question 4

I've had a dark line across my nose for more than 5 years now. I've tried several skin brightening creams suggested by dermatologists, but nothing seems to work. It's really frustrating. Can you offer any other advice or treatments that might help?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be dealing with a condition called melasma, which causes dark patches on the skin. In addition to skin brightening creams, you can also consider using a combination of hydroquinone, tretinoin, and a corticosteroid cream. One option is to use a cream containing 4% hydroquinone, 0.05% tretinoin, and 0.01% fluocinolone acetonide. Apply a thin layer of this cream to the affected area once daily in the evening. Remember to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from further darkening.
