Question 1

My father used scabidol ointment for antibacterial infections. After using for a week he got white skin patches on the applied area. Kindly help

Accepted Answer

Scabidol ointment is commonly used to treat scabies and other parasitic infections. However, one of its ingredients, sulfur, can cause skin reactions, including skin depigmentation.

Possible Causes of White Skin Patches

1. Chemical Leukoderma: Sulfur, an ingredient in Scabidol ointment, can cause chemical leukoderma, a condition characterized by the loss of skin pigmentation.
2. Contact Dermatitis: Your father may have developed contact dermatitis, an allergic reaction to one of the ingredients in the ointment.
3. Skin Irritation: Scabidol ointment can be irritating to the skin, especially if used for an extended period.

What to Do Next

1. Stop Using Scabidol Ointment: Immediately discontinue using Scabidol ointment to prevent further skin reactions.
2. Consult a Dermatologist:

Question 2

Can I use Evion 400 capsules on my face every alternate day? I mix it with almond oil or aloe vera gel and apply it every second day. Is that okay?

Accepted Answer

Using Evion 400 (Vitamin E) on the face can be beneficial for skin health. However, it is important to note that applying it directly from the capsule may be too concentrated for some individuals and could potentially cause skin irritation. It is recommended to mix the contents of the capsule with almond oil or aloe vera gel before applying it to the face. This can help dilute the Vitamin E and make it safer for topical use. You can continue using it every alternate day, but if you experience any redness, itching, or irritation, please discontinue use.
