Question 1

I've noticed some dark spots on my lower back, near the spinal cord. Theres no pain or itching, but they started appearing about a month ago, and they seem to be spreading. Im not sure if its something I should be worried about or if its just a harmless skin issue. Any thoughts on what it could be and if I should get it checked out?

Accepted Answer

Could be a condition called Tinea Versicolor. This is a fungal infection of the skin that can cause discolored patches. I recommend using an antifungal medication such as Clotrimazole cream applied twice daily for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can use a medicated shampoo containing selenium sulfide to wash the affected area. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further spread of the infection.

Question 2

I have consulted a doctor , he suggested me to use mela clear cream, Can i use that cream or this may cause any side effects in future?

Accepted Answer

Mela Clear cream is a topical cream that is commonly used to treat hyperpigmentation and dark spots on the skin. It contains a combination of ingredients such as hydroquinone, tretinoin, and corticosteroids. When used as directed by your doctor, Mela Clear cream can be effective in improving skin tone and reducing dark spots. However, it is important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully and not exceed the recommended dosage, as prolonged use of hydroquinone can lead to side effects such as skin irritation, redness, and thinning of the skin. If you experience any adverse reactions while using Mela Clear cream, it is important to discontinue use and consult your doctor for further guidance.

Use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole on the affected areas. Take guidance from a doctor to determine the frequency of application. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting underwear made of breathable fabric, and avoiding scratching the area can also help alleviate the itching. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.
