Question 1

Ive noticed that the skin near my tailbone has torn in the upper middle portion, and its been cracking. Its really painful, and Im not sure whats causing it. What could it be?

Accepted Answer

Could be due to a condition called a pilonidal cyst. This can cause pain and discomfort in the area. I recommend keeping the area clean and dry to prevent infection. You can apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice a day to help with healing. Additionally, taking a pain reliever like ibuprofen can help with the pain. If the pain persists or if there are signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, or drainage of pus, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

Question 2

Ive been getting rashes at night, but by the morning, theyre completely gone. Im not sure what could be causing them. Is this something I should be worried about?

Accepted Answer

Those rashes can be due to mosquito bites which usually resolves by morning. If those rashes make you uncomfortable causing itching ,irritation please consult dermatologist at the earliest . Take photos of rashes for documentation .

Question 3

I have a fungal infection in my private area and Im thinking of using Sapat lotion for it. Can you tell me if this lotion contains any steroids? I want to make sure its safe to use for this kind of infection.

Accepted Answer

Sapat lotion contains clobetasol propionate, a potent topical steroid, which may not be suitable for fungal infections; instead, consider using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (Candid) or Miconazole (Micatin) to treat the fungal infection in your private area.

Question 4

I've been using Scarend gel for my acne scars, but I'm wondering if using it for a longer period will actually help. I have pretty bad acne scars and open pores. Are there any treatments that could give me up to 90% improvement?

Accepted Answer

For up to 90% improvement in acne scars and open pores, consider combining Scarend gel with treatments like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, laser skin resurfacing, microneedling, or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, under the guidance of a dermatologist.

Accepted Answer

Kojivit Ultra is a better choice for sensitive, oily skin as its lightweight and non-steroidal. Stick to this variant specifically. You can use glutathione soap, but dont overdo itonce daily is enough to avoid irritation. Continue with Photostable sunscreen and aloe vera gel; theyre great for your skin type. Avoid harsh treatments; gentle care works best.
