Question 1

Ive had keratosis pilaris on both of my upper arms for a few years now, and I feel like its getting worse lately. Ive been using Moisturex and Xerina ointment as prescribed by my doctor for about 5 months, but I havent noticed any improvement. I really want to get rid of it. Has anyone had a similar experience or have suggestions that might help?

Hi, my doctor recommended using Aziderm cream for black spots on my face. Ive been applying it as instructed, but after a few minutes, I start feeling a burning sensation. Is this normal, or could something be wrong with the cream? What can I do to g...

Accepted Answer

The burning sensation you are experiencing after applying aziderm cream is a common side effect, especially if you have sensitive skin. It may be due to the active ingredient in the cream, which is azelaic acid. If the burning sensation is severe or persistent, you should discontinue the use of the cream and consult your doctor. To remove black spots on your face, you can consider using a different cream containing ingredients like hydroquinone, kojic acid, or retinoids. Some options include Melalite cream, Kojivit gel, or Retin-A cream. These creams can help lighten the dark spots and improve the overall appearance of your skin.

Question 6

My butt is darker than anyother part of my body and so is my knees. I feel its very unappealing. What should i do to give it an even tone? I have a brown complexion.

Accepted Answer

To help even out the skin tone on your buttocks and knees, you can consider using a skin lightening cream that contains ingredients like hydroquinone, kojic acid, or alpha arbutin. These ingredients can help lighten dark areas of the skin and promote a more even tone. You can try using a cream like Meladerm or Ambi Fade Cream, applying it to the affected areas once or twice a day as directed. Additionally, make sure to exfoliate the skin regularly to remove dead skin cells and promote skin renewal. Remember to use sunscreen on these areas to prevent further darkening from sun exposure.
