Question 1

Ive had white patches at the corners of my lips for about a year now. It doesnt hurt, but the whiteness seems to be getting worse. What could be causing this?

Accepted Answer

May be due to a condition called oral thrush, which is a fungal infection caused by Candida albicans. I recommend using an antifungal medication such as clotrimazole. Additionally, maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding sugary foods can help prevent the infection from worsening.

Question 2

I m getting moles on face and neck .I have acne also..for cleaning face,i am using acnelak soap two times...can anybody suggest cleaning method or how to get clear skin?

Accepted Answer

To address moles, acne, and achieve clear skin:

*Cleaning Method*

1. *Gentle cleanser*: Replace Acnelak soap with a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser (e.g., Cetaphil or Neutrogena).
2. *Warm water*: Cleanse your face with warm water instead of hot water.
3. *Pat dry*: Gently pat your face dry with a clean towel.

*Additional Tips*

1. *Exfoliate*: Exfoliate once or twice a week using a gentle scrub or a chemical exfoliant containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs).
2. *Toner*: Use a toner to balance your skin's pH and remove any remaining impurities.
3. *Moisturize*: Apply a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.
4. *Sunscreen*: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily.
5. *Avoid picking*: Refrain from picking or squeezing acne or moles, as this can lead to scarring and infection.

*Professional Advice*

1. *Consult a dermatologist*: Schedule an appointment with a dermatologist to assess your skin and provide personalized advice.
2. *Mole evaluation*: Have your moles evaluated by a dermatologist to determine if they are benign or require further attention.

-It seems like a fungal infection, which can recur if not treated fully. Avoid using Fourderm long-term, as it contains steroids. Use an antifungal cream like clotrimazole twice daily for at least 2 weeks, keep the areas dry, and consult a doctor for further advice.
