Accepted Answer

It seems like you may be experiencing a keloid or hypertrophic scar formation around your nose piercing. To help with the healing process and reduce the discoloration and bump, you can try using over-the-counter silicone gel sheets to flatten and reduce the scar tissue. Additionally, applying a topical corticosteroid cream like Betamethasone 0.1% twice a day can help reduce inflammation and redness. Make sure to keep the area clean and avoid any trauma to the piercing site.

Question 2

I keep getting acnes on face and back throughout the year. A friend of mine recommended Momate-F cream to me. 
Can I use this for my back acnes ? And what does this cream actually do?

Accepted Answer

Momate-F cream contains Mometasone which is a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation, redness, and swelling. It is primarily used to treat various skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. However, it is not typically recommended for treating acne as it may not target the underlying causes of acne effectively. For acne on your back, I would recommend using a topical treatment containing Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid. These ingredients are more effective in treating acne by unclogging pores, reducing bacteria, and preventing new acne breakouts. You can try using Benzac AC gel on your back acne. Apply a thin layer of the gel to the affected areas once daily, preferably at night. Make sure to cleanse the area thoroughly before applying the gel. Remember to patch test any new product on a small area of skin before applying it to larger areas to check for any adverse reactions.

Question 3

I have sensitive, dusky-toned skin, and I was wondering if its safe to use Lacto Calamine as a night cream. If not, can you suggest other safer alternatives that would work well for my skin type?

Accepted Answer

Lacto Calamine can be safe to use for sensitive skin, but it may not be suitable for everyone. If you are looking for safer substitutes, you can consider using Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream or Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion. These are gentle on the skin and can help with hydration without causing irritation. Apply a thin layer of the moisturizer on your face at night before going to bed for best results.

Im taking 3 limcee 500 mg tablets...is it okay ?

Accepted Answer

Taking 3 Limcee 500 mg tablets is generally safe as Limcee is a Vitamin C supplement. However, it is recommended to not exceed the daily recommended dosage of Vitamin C, which is around 2000 mg per day for adults. Excessive intake of Vitamin C may lead to gastrointestinal issues such as diarrhea. It is advisable to stick to the recommended dosage to avoid any potential side effects.
