Hi, Ive asked this before but keep getting different answers. How long does the effect of a tetanus vaccine last? Some say about 6 months, while others say only 3 months. Can I get a clear and honest answer on this?

The effect of a tetanus vaccine typically lasts for 10 years, after which a booster shot is recommended to maintain immunity . This is regardless of the vaccine's price, which in your case is Rs10.It's great that you're taking proactive steps to ensure your tetanus vaccination is up to date. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and medical professionals worldwide agree on the 10-year timeline for booster shots.Tetanus Vaccine Timeline:- Initial Vaccination: A series of three shots, with the first two given at least four weeks apart, and the third shot given 6 to 12 months after the second .- Booster Shots: Every 10 years to maintain immunity [2).

Doc, Ive been dealing with dark lips for a while now. I heard about YAG laser treatment, but when I asked a doctor about it, they said that in some cases, the results arent permanent and the treatment may need to be repeated after 6 months. Im concerned about the chances of it coming back. Do people usually get permanent results, or is it more likely to be temporary?

Dark lips can recur due to various factors like sun exposure, smoking, dehydration, and medical conditions. While laser treatments like Q-Switch Nd: Yag laser can provide effective results, their permanence depends on individual skin types and conditions. Some people may require touch-up sessions every 6 months, while others may achieve permanent results. To minimize recurrence, maintain good lip hygiene, protect your lips from the sun, and avoid habits that exacerbate dark lips. Consult a dermatologis

Hi doctor, after donating plasma yesterday, I noticed a red rash and small bumps on my arm, and now it seems to be spreading to my face and ears, possibly from me touching it.

I have an itchy patch forming scales and wrinkles on the skin around my groin area. Ive tried various fungal and bacterial creams, but nothing seems to work. What could this be and what should I try next?

our symptoms are suggestive of tinea cruris(jock itch). Tine cruris is a fungal infection in the groin area. It affects mostly adult men. It's caused by a type of fungus called dermatophytes. Dermatophytes like to grow on skin that's moist and warm and thrive in areas where skin comes into contact with other skin, such as the groin or between the toes. You will have to keep the groin dry, have an antifungal tablet, antacid and a topical antifungal over the area. The following steps may help:- Avoid using oily skin products- Reduce your exposure to the sun. Exposure to sun may trigger or worsen an episode and a tan makes the rash more visible.- Do not wear tight clothing.- Change undergarments regularly- Wear breathable fabrics such as cotton to decrease the sweating.- Keep areas where there is sweat accumulation dry regularly and apply powder in those areas to reduce the moisture.If the problem is persistent or worsens I would advise you to meet a dermatologist.

I had rashes on my face and scalp about 10 months ago, and my IGE levels were really high at 930. After treatment, the rashes went away, but now, three to four months later, Im getting itchy rashes on my body again. My IGE level has dropped to 330. I was reading online and saw that Staphylococcus aureus might be a cause. Ive also been having digestion problems. Could this be linked, and what could be the root cause of these issues?

Staphylococcus aureus is a type of bacteria commonly found on the skin and in the nose, which can cause infections, including skin conditions like atopic dermatitis, eczema, and impetigo; given your history of recurring itchy rashes, high IgE levels, and digestion problems, it's possible that S. aureus is contributing to your symptoms, especially since S. aureus can produce toxins that exacerbate skin conditions and may also be linked to gut health issues; consult a dermatologist or an allergist to discuss

This is quite rare.. But you are allergic to antiseptic solution itself.. So should avoid it.. Check if you are allergic to soap or not?? Some people are allergic to different things.. Whenever you go to hospital you must open up about this allergiec history......

I have high IGE levels around 472 and I've been taking antihistamines, but they only help reduce my allergy symptoms and don't fully get rid of them. I did an allergy test and found I'm allergic to dust mites, tomato, egg, fish, and ginger, among other things. I try to avoid these triggers as much as possible. I also have eczema, or atopic dermatitis, on three fingers of my right hand, which doesnt seem to go away. I believe it started because of overusing a rubber-padded PC mouse, but Ive stopped now.

Yes, it is smashed finger and black spot caused by blood clot. It will be absorbed with time.

Ive been losing around 20-50 hairs during hair wash and about 40 hairs while combing. The water here in Kolkata has a lot of iron, which I think might be affecting my hair. I have health issues like PCOD and low hemoglobin, and I take Livogen Z, Follihair tablets, and some Ayurvedic medicines like Kanchanaar Guggul and Triphala Ras for cysts in my ovaries and uterus.

I'm 28 years old and I'm not growing a full beard. My dad has a really good beard, so I don't think it's a genetic issue or hormones causing the problem. Is there anything I can do or any remedy to help with this?

Getting hair on your face is one of the last changes of puberty. On average, boys start noticing hair on their face around age 15 or 16.Exactly when the changes of puberty occur can vary a lot. And how fast the changes occur can also vary.That means some boys start growing a beard very early in their teenage years. Others don't notice a beard starting until they are much older.Just like all guys aren't the same height, the amount of facial hair varies from one guy to the next. That's because the amount of hair you have, how dark or light it is, and where it grows on your face, is largely controlled by your genes.That doesn't mean your beard will necessarily look like your dad's. What it does mean is that somewhere in your family tree, there are men whose beards followed a pattern like yours.

Hi, I've been dealing with severe itching along my penis line and the lips of my vagina. I've been treated for fungal and bacterial infections, and all tests, including urine and swabs, came back clear. But the itching hasnt gone away. There are no visible lesions, just redness when I itch. After itching, the whole area feels like it has multiple cuts and burns until I apply some oil or cold water. Do you have any idea what could be causing this, or what I can do to stop it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called vulvar dermatitis, which can cause itching, redness, and irritation without visible lesions. Since infections have been ruled out, it could be due to an allergic reaction, skin sensitivity, or even friction. I recommend following up with a dermatologist or gynecologist for a more thorough examination and to explore treatment options such as soothing creams or anti-inflammatory medications.

I've been dealing with a lot of acne on my face, and they leave dark spots after. Right now, I'm using NO MARKS cream and taking Evion 400 and Roxy 150 tablets. Is this safe or could it cause any harm?

Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. Acne usually appears on your face, neck, chest, back and shoulders. Effective treatments are available, but acne can be persistent. The pimples and bumps heal slowly, and when one begins to go away, others seem to crop up.Wash problem areas with a gentle cleanser. Twice a day, use your hands to wash your face with a mild soap and warm water. If you tend to develop acne around your hairline, shampoo your hair every day.Avoid certain products, such as facial scrubs, astringents and masks, because they tend to irritate skin, which can worsen acne. Excessive washing and scrubbing also can irritate skin. And be gentle while shaving affected skin.Avoid irritants. You may want to avoid oily or greasy cosmetics, sunscreens, hairstyling products or acne concealers. Use products labeled water-based or noncomedogenic, which means they are less likely to cause acne.Use an oil-free moisturizer with sunscreen. For some people, the sun worsens acne. And some acne medications make you more susceptible to the sun's rays. Check with your doctor to see if your medication is one of these. If it is, stay out of the sun as much as possible. Regularly use a nonoily (noncomedogenic) moisturizer that includes a sunscreen.Watch what touches your skin. Keep your hair clean and off your face. Also avoid resting your hands or objects, such as telephone receivers, on your face. Tight clothing or hats also can pose a problem, especially if you're sweating. Sweat and oils can contribute to acne.Don't pick or squeeze blemishes. Doing so can cause infection or scarring

I spilled hot tea on the back of my hand, and it burned a moderately large area. I immediately ran it under cold water, then ice water, and used an ice compress for hours. It's been about 24 hours, but there's still pain. The throbbing and stinging stop when I apply something cold, but otherwise, it hurts. Is this normal, and should I be worried about any further treatment?

You've taken the right steps:1. _Cooling the burn_: Running the burn under cold water, then ice water, helped reduce the temperature and ease pain.2. _Ice compress/pack_: Applying something cold has helped numb the pain._Current situation:_1. _Pain persistence_: The throbbing/stinging pain, even after 24 hours, indicates the burn is likely deeper than initially thought.2. _Cold relief_: The fact that cold compresses provide relief suggests the burn is still inflamed._Recommended next steps:_1. _Seek medical attention_: Visit a doctor or a burn specialist to assess the burn's depth and provide proper treatment.2. _Topical creams/ointments_: Your doctor may prescribe topical creams or ointments to promote healing, reduce pain, and prevent infection.3. _Pain management_: Your doctor can recommend pain management options, such as pain relievers or nerve blocks.4. _Wound care_: Proper wound care, including dressing changes and antibiotic ointments, can help promote healing and prevent infection.

I've been dealing with jock itch for about 4 months now. I've tried using creams and powders, like clotrimazole and terbinafine, but it's not improving. In fact, it seems to be getting worse, with the red rashes spreading and becoming more itchy. What should I do?

Seems like the jock itch is not responding to the antifungal treatments you have tried. In such cases, oral antifungal medications may be necessary to treat the infection effectively. I recommend taking oral fluconazole along with continuing the topical antifungal creams. Please consult your healthcare provider for the appropriate dosage and duration of treatment. Additionally, keeping the affected area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and avoiding sharing personal items can help prevent further spread of the infection.

Should I continue with the Lulibet or try something else?

You may be experiencing a fungal infection in your armpits and groin area. Lulibet cream contains the active ingredients luliconazole, which is used to treat fungal infections of the skin. You can apply a thin layer of lulibet cream on the affected areas once daily for up to 2 weeks. Make sure to wash and dry the affected areas before applying the cream. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

You may be experiencing a fungal infection in your left groin area. You can try using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

Ive had vitiligo spots for about 4 years now, and they havent changed in size. Theyre on my neck, leg, and hand. How much time does it usually take for vitiligo to spread? Should I be concerned that it hasnt changed?

The spread of vitiligo varies from person to person. In some cases, the patches may remain stable in size and number for years, while in other cases, they may spread rapidly. Since you have had the spots for 4 years with the same size, it is possible that the condition may remain stable for you. To help prevent further spread of vitiligo, you can consider using topical corticosteroids like Clobetasol propionate cream on the affected areas. Apply a thin layer of the cream twice daily for a few months to see improvement. Additionally, phototherapy with narrowband UVB light can also be beneficial in managing vitiligo. Remember to protect your skin from sun exposure as it can worsen the condition. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher on the affected areas when going outside.

Hey doctor, Ive noticed some white spots recently on the head of my penis, around the circumference. These spots arent itchy, but I do have itching around my thighs, groin, and testicles. I showed it to a dermatologist, and they prescribed Keto B cream and Incid MD tablets. After two weeks, the itching areas have improved, but the white spot on the glans is still the same. Should I be concerned or do I need to try something else?

The white area on the glans of the penis may be due to a fungal infection, such as candidiasis. To treat this, you can try using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole cream twice a day on the affected area for about 2-4 weeks. In addition, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole to help clear up the infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid any potential irritants. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I want to take glutathione for my skin, but I've heard it's best to take it with vitamin C too. How long after taking a glutathione pill should I take the vitamin C? Should I take them together or wait? And how many times a day should I take vitamin C?

To maximize the benefits of glutathione for your skin, it is recommended to take it with vitamin C. You can take them together for better absorption. It is advisable to take vitamin C 30 minutes to 1 hour after taking the glutathione pill. You can take vitamin C once a day, preferably in the morning with your glutathione supplement. The recommended dosage of vitamin C can vary, but a common dosage is around 500-1000mg per day for skin health benefits.

Hi doctor, Ive been noticing that my skin is getting darker every day and Im not sure why. My skin is pretty dry and Ive also got a lot of dark spots, blemishes, and dark circles. When Im exposed to the sun, my skin turns red and gets even darker. I used to have a wheatish complexion about 2 years ago, but its been gradually darkening since then. I make sure to get 7-8 hours of sleep every night, I dont drink or smoke, and I hardly ever go out in the sun. When I do, I always apply sunscreen. Recently, even my neck has started getting darker, and the rest of my body, which used to be lighter, is also getting darker. What could be the cause of this and what should I do to fix it?

You may be experiencing hyperpigmentation and sun-induced skin darkening. To address this issue, you can try using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream, to lighten the dark spots and blemishes. Apply a thin layer of Melalite cream on the affected areas once daily at night. Additionally, you can use a vitamin C serum, like Celin Vitamin C Serum, in the morning to help brighten your skin and reduce dark spots. For your dry skin, you can use a moisturizer like Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream to hydrate and nourish your skin. Apply the moisturizer twice a day, in the morning and evening, on clean skin. To address the redness and sensitivity when exposed to the sun, you can try using a gentle sunscreen specifically formulated for sensitive skin, such as Neutrogena Sensitive Skin Sunscreen SPF 50. Apply the sunscreen generously on all exposed areas of your skin before going outside, and reapply every 2 hours. For your darkening neck and body, you can also use the Melalite cream on those areas, following the same application instructions as mentioned earlier.

I'm 29 years old, and for the past 2 years, I've noticed that my beard hair is turning white. Right now, about 10% of my beard is white. I don't have any bad habits or family history that would cause this, so Im really confused and worried. Is there any way to stop my beard from turning white so early, or even turn the white hairs back to black? Im feeling really down about this.

There are several factors that can contribute to premature graying of hair, including genetics, stress, nutritional deficiencies, and certain medical conditions. While it may not be possible to completely stop the graying process, you can try taking supplements containing B vitamins, iron, and antioxidants to support hair health. Additionally, using hair products containing catalase or keratin may help slow down the graying process. To turn white hair back to black, you can try using hair dyes specifically designed for facial hair. Look for products containing ingredients like ammonia-free dye, keratin, and argan oil for best results. Remember to follow the instructions carefully to avoid any skin irritation.

Ive been using Safi blood purifier for the last 2 months to help with blood purification and acne, and I havent noticed any side effects. But recently, Ive heard some people say its not good to drink and that it could have side effects, while others claim its fine. Im really confused now and would like to get a doctors advice. Is it safe to continue using Safi for acne and blood purification, or should I stop because it could cause problems later?

Safi blood purifier is a herbal remedy that is commonly used for blood purification and acne. While some people may not experience any side effects from using Safi, it is important to note that herbal remedies can still have potential side effects and interactions with other medications. If you have been using Safi for 2 months without any noticeable side effects, it may be safe for you to continue using it. However, it is always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional before starting or continuing any new medication or supplement. If you are looking for alternative options, you can consider using topical acne treatments containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid for acne, and maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle for blood purification.

I'm a 20-year-old male and have noticed a significant loss in hair density over the past 10 months. I used to have thick, dense, long (11-inch) wavy hair, but recently Ive been seeing thinning, especially around the crown and back of my head for the past 3 months. It started from the whorl and has gradually spread in all directions, like a whirlpool. I had a buzz cut about 5 months ago, and the temples have receded by about a cm. A few months ago, my scalp was dry and tight, but its now back to normal. Ive also been dealing with dandruff (small white flakes) thats usually worse in the winter. My family history includes:- Both grandfathers had no hair loss.- My dad is at Norwood 2.- I have two uncles who are bald, possibly due to diabetes, and one with a full head of hair.- On my moms side, two uncles are bald, and two have Norwood 0.Over the past 10 months, my hair density has reduced by about half. Ive attached some pictures that might help clarify. Can you help me understand whats happening and what I can do about it?

this looks like androgenic alopecia which is male pattern baldness,there are good treatment modalities which would help in preventing further hairfall and regrowth of your hair,visit your dermatologist for appropriate management,above this consume balanced diet with extra protien which would help in giving strength to your hair.

I noticed that my underarms became dark after waxing, and although I stopped waxing, there's only slight improvement. My dermatologist prescribed hydroquinone, but it didnt really work. I'm wondering if I should try chemical peels or laser treatments for better results. Could chemical peels make the darkness worse? My dermatologist recommended it, but she didnt do any tests or check for anything else. What do you think?

chemical peeling would definitely work but laser treatment would show better result,follow your doctors advise because treatment modality depends on intensity and area involved for darkness.

Ive been dealing with a fungal infection between my legs near the private area and on my buttocks for the last 4-5 months. It started as red patches, then turned white.

Ive had mouth ulcers for about 45 days after being exposed to the HIV virus, and Im not sure if this is a symptom of HIV or not. Can you tell me if mouth ulcers are linked to HIV? Also, what tests should I get now to check for HIV?

Mouth ulcers can be a symptom of HIV, but they don't necessarily confirm the presence of the virus. To determine if you've contracted HIV, you can take an HIV test, specifically a 4th generation antibody/antigen (Ab/Ag) test, which can detect HIV 45 days after exposure with 99% accuracy. Additionally, nucleic acid tests (NATs) can detect HIV 10 to 33 days after exposure, but these tests are typically used for high-risk exposures

Ive been noticing a lot of premature grey hairs, and it seems like theyre increasing every day. Is there anything I can do to stop this or slow it down?

Greying of hair is a normal aging process which starts around 30 as the melanocytes activity of the body slows down and gradually the melanin production in hair stops. If it is happening before this age, it is called premature greying. This can be genetic and also due to deficiency of essential vitamins and minerals. The hairs which have already turned white cannot be turned back to black. But you can delay the process of greying of hair by some lifestyle modifications. Take adequate sleep and drink lots of water, eat lots of fruits and green leafy vegetables. Few tablets can also be prescribed for the same. there is also one lotion which is supposed to work.

Hi, I have small acne on my face. I saw a dermatologist a month ago, and he prescribed some medicines after examining me. But I still have the same acne. The medicines I'm using are Phexin 500 mg, Doxy 1 LR 100 mg, Capsule Zitcare, and Acnovate Gel for pimples. Should I continue using these, or do I need something else?

the medications are appropriate for the condition ,if they doesnt work on your skin need to switch to other drugs,visit your dermatologist for appropriate treatment and ruleout the cause for acne.

Ive been dealing with itching since May. It started as just itching, but then those areas turned reddish and round, and I thought it was ringworm. I used some ointment from the medical store, but the itching came back. Sometimes, when I scratch, blood comes out. Ive been applying coconut oil and using Dettol to wash the affected areas twice a day, but the itching is really bothersome. Can you suggest what might be going on and what I should do?

Ive noticed a light black/brown thin line right in the middle of my left thumb, and theres no pain or itching. I dont remember injuring it. I saw a doctor (not a dermatologist), and he said it might be a fungal infection, so I took medicine for a week. The line didnt go away, but it didnt get darker either. When I went back, the doctor said its a bit lighter and told me not to worry about it. Its only on this thumb and not on any other fingers or my legs. Should I be concerned, or is it okay to just leave it? Do you think I should get a second opinion, especially from a dermatologist, or is it nothing urgent?

That could be due stress or pressure induced pigmentation,no need to worry unless it does progress otherwise u can ignore it.

Lately, Ive been experiencing a lot of hair fallso much that I feel I might go bald soon. Ive also noticed quite a few white strands appearing. Could this be a side effect of the medication, and is there anything I can do to control the hair fall and prevent more white hair?

Ive been dealing with a persistent ringworm infection in the groin area for the past 3 months. It was really itchy at first, but Ive been using Terbinaforce cream and taking Terbinafine tablets. The itching has reduced, and its about 80% better, but now Im noticing that the old ringworm is getting bigger, and Im developing new ones in the same area. The condition isnt too bad, but my skin has become lighter pink than usual. Could this be tinea versicolor? And how much longer will it take to get completely better?

Consult a dermatologist to reassess the persistent ringworm infection and skin discoloration, as it may not be tinea versicolor, and adjust treatment with oral antifungals or topical creams to achieve complete recovery, which may take 2-6 weeks.

Can I use Melalumin lightening cream on my lips to reduce melanin or do I need to buy the Melalumin lip lightener specifically? The chemist says it will work, but Im not sure.

I would advise against using Melalumin lightening cream on your lips, even if the chemist says it will work. Here's why:1. Formulation differences: Melalumin lightening cream is formulated for skin use, whereas lip skin is more delicate and requires specialized care. Using a skin cream on lips may cause irritation, dryness, or other adverse reactions.2. Lip safety: Lips lack the protective barrier of skin, making them more susceptible to irritation and damage. Using a skin lightening cream on lips may increase the risk of adverse effects.3. Specific lip concerns: Lip lightening products, like Melalumin lip lightener, are specifically designed to address lip concerns, such as dryness, pigmentation, and fine lines. They may contain ingredients that are more suitable for lip care.To ensure safety and effectiveness, I recommend using a product specifically designed for lip care, such as Melalumin lip lightener.

Ive been using Skinlite cream for the past 4 years, but I want to stop using it because my skin is starting to get damaged. Im worried about my skin darkening if I stop. Can you suggest a safe substitute or how to transition off it?

Skinlite is a topical steroid cream. Prolonged use can lead to skin damage, thinning, and darkening. To minimize the risk of darkening, it's essential to gradually taper off the cream and transition to alternative treatments.Gradual Tapering1. Reduce frequency: Gradually reduce the frequency of applying Skinlite over 2-4 weeks.2. Decrease concentration: If possible, switch to a lower concentration of hydroquinone (2% instead of 4%) or a different formulation.3. Alternate with moisturizer: Apply a moisturizer on alternate days or nights to help your skin adjust.Alternative Treatments1. Kojic acid creams: Kojic acid is a natural alternative to hydroquinone, which can help reduce melanin production.2. Niacinamide creams: Niacinamide has been shown to improve skin hyperpigmentation and brightness.3. Vitamin C serums: Vitamin C can help brighten and even out skin tone.4. Azelaic acid creams: Azelaic acid has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).5. Natural ingredients: Consider using natural ingredients like turmeric, aloe vera, or licorice extract, which have anti-inflammatory and skin-brightening properties.Sun Protection1. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen: Apply a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily, even on cloudy days.2. Wear protective clothing: Wear clothing that covers your skin, such as long-sleeved shirts and pants

I want to take Becadexamin multivitamins, Seecord liver oil capsules, and SugarBearHair vitamins for my hair. Is it safe to take all of these together, or should I be cautious about any interactions? Please let me know.

You're considering taking multiple supplements to support your overall health and hair growth. Here's a breakdown of the supplements you mentioned:- Becadexamin: A multivitamin that provides essential nutrients like vitamins B, C, D, E, and K, as well as minerals.- Seecord Liver Oil Capsule: A source of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, which support heart health and may also promote hair growth.- SugarBearHair: A dietary supplement specifically designed to support hair growth, containing biotin, vitamin C, and other nutrients.Considering your plan to take all these supplements, here are some points to keep in mind:1. Overlapping ingredients: Becadexamin and SugarBearHair both contain biotin and other vitamins. Taking both might lead to excessive intake of these nutrients.2. Interactions and side effects: Although generally considered safe, high doses of biotin can cause skin rashes, hair loss (ironically!), and other side effects.3. Liver oil and omega-3 intake: If you're already taking Seecord Liver Oil Capsule, you might not need additional omega-3 supplements.To minimize potential risks and maximize benefits:1. Consult a healthcare professional: Discuss your supplement plan with a doctor or registered dietitian to ensure you're not exceeding recommended daily intake levels.2. Choose one biotin supplement: Select either Becadexamin or SugarBearHair, but not both, to avoid excessive biotin intake.3. Monitor your body's response: Pay attention to any side effects or changes in your body after starting these supplements.

Ive been using minoxidil 5% for pattern baldness for the last two years. It worked well at first, but now it seems like it's not doing anything. Does minoxidil stop working after a while, or is there something else going on?

Minoxidil 5% is a common treatment for pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). While it can be effective, its effectiveness may decrease over time.Receptor downregulation: Minoxidil works by binding to specific receptors. Prolonged use may lead to a decrease in receptor density, reducing the medication's effectiveness.Other factors: Poor scalp health, inadequate application, or concurrent medical conditions may also contribute to decreased effectiveness.Options to consider:1. Consult a dermatologist: Discuss your concerns and explore alternative treatments, such as finasteride (oral medication), low-level laser therapy (LLLT), or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy.2. Combination therapy: Using minoxidil in combination with other treatments, such as finasteride or LLLT, may help maintain or enhance its effectiveness.3. Scalp care: Maintain good scalp hygiene, and consider using scalp serums or shampoos that promote hair growth.4. Realistic expectations: Understand that minoxidil is not a cure for pattern baldness, and its effectiveness may vary.

I wanted to know what the difference is between hair tincture and minoxidil. Im dealing with female pattern hair loss and Im curious about which one might work better for me.

Hair tincture and minoxidil are two different hair growth treatments. Here's a comparison:Hair Tincture1. Natural ingredients: Typically contains herbal extracts, essential oils, and other natural ingredients.2. Mechanism: Stimulates hair growth by improving blood flow, reducing inflammation, and promoting a healthy scalp environment.3. Application: Usually applied topically, massaged into the scalp, and left on for a specified time.4. Effectiveness: Varies depending on the individual and the specific tincture formula. Some users report improved hair growth, while others may not see significant results.Minoxidil1. Active ingredient: Minoxidil is the primary active ingredient, available in 2% or 5% concentrations.2. Mechanism: Widens blood vessels, increasing blood flow to the scalp, and prolongs the anagen phase (active growth phase) of hair growth.3. Application: Applied topically, directly to the scalp, typically twice a day.4. Effectiveness: Clinically proven to promote hair growth, slow down hair loss, and improve hair density.Key differences1. Natural vs. pharmaceutical: Hair tincture is typically natural, while minoxidil is a pharmaceutical ingredient.2. Mechanism of action: Hair tincture stimulates hair growth through improved blood flow and scalp health, while minoxidil works by widening blood vessels and prolonging the anagen phase.3. Effectiveness: Minoxidil has more clinical evidence supporting its effectiveness for hair growth, while hair tincture results vary depending on the individual and formula.For female pattern hair loss, minoxidil (2% or 5% concentration) is a more established treatment option. However, some hair tinctures may also be beneficial. Consult a dermatologist or healthcare professional to determine the best course of treatment for your specific condition.

A strange lump appeared on my buttocks last month. At first, I thought it was just a heat boil, so I used a pain relief patch until last week. It seemed to heal up, so I stopped using the patch, but now the lump is back. What could this be, and should I be worried about it?

I'm not capable of viewing images, but based on your description, I strongly recommend consulting a doctor or dermatologist to examine the lump and determine the cause, as it could be a sign of an underlying condition, such as a cyst, abscess, or skin infection.

Hi, I recently shaved my head and noticed a sudden increase in white hair folliclesthere are now around 150, whereas before, there were only about 10. Could this be related to the shaving, or is it just a coincidence? Id appreciate any suggestions or tips to prevent further whitening.

Reduce stress: Engage in stress-reducing activities like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises.2. Maintain a balanced diet: Eat a diet rich in vitamins and minerals, particularly those that promote hair growth like biotin, vitamin B12, and omega-3 fatty acids.3. Use gentle hair care products: Avoid harsh chemicals and use gentle, sulfate-free shampoos.4.

Keratosis Pilaris: A skin condition characterized by small, rough bumps (whiteheads/blackheads) due to keratin buildup.3.

I recently developed secondary phimosis and treated it with a topical cream as suggested by my dermatologist. However, Ive noticed that the top portion of the glans has some discoloration, kind of like vitiligo. Theres no pain or irritation. The doctor thinks it could be LSA or BXO, and mentioned it might not be fully treatable. I have a couple of questions: 1. How can this discoloration be treated, or if its left untreated, what complications could arise? 2. I can keep the foreskin retracted without feeling any tightness. Is it safe to keep it retracted all the time, like an autocircumcision?

Ive been dealing with skin allergies that feel like mosquito bites all over my body. After a blood test, I found out its because of a high IgE count over 2000. Ive been on medication for over 3 months, but as soon as I stop the treatment, the allergy comes back. It seems to be getting worse each time. Is there any permanent solution to this?

High IgE count (>2000) indicates an overactive immune response, leading to increased histamine release and allergic reactions.Current Treatment LimitationsMedications like antihistamines, corticosteroids, and immunosuppressants can provide temporary relief but may not address the underlying issue.Recurring symptoms after stopping medication suggest that the treatment is only managing the symptoms, not the root cause.Permanent Solution: A Multi-Faceted Approach1. ImmunotherapyAllergy shots or sublingual immunotherapy can help desensitize your immune system to specific allergens, reducing IgE levels and symptoms.2. Dietary ChangesAvoid common allergenic foods like dairy, gluten, soy, and nuts for 2-3 weeks to see if symptoms improve.Incorporate anti-inflammatory foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and fiber.

Hi Doctor, My name is Shivam Gupta, and I'm a student. Last year, around March or April, I developed red spots on my thigh that seemed like a fungal infection. I consulted my uncle, who is a doctor, and he recommended Lobet GM Cream. The spots went away, but they came back after a while. After two months, I consulted another doctor who prescribed Candiforce 200 Tablets, F.M. 24 Tablets, and Serta Cream for the fungal infection. I used the cream for 1-2 months, and everything seemed fine, but now the infection is coming back again. It appears sometimes on my thigh, hand, stomach, and even on my head. I also consumed carom seeds for some digestive issues, but the fungal infection still persists. What should I do to get rid of this for good? How can I find relief from these recurring fungal infections?

Ive been dealing with peeling lips every day for the past 12 years. After I shower, both my upper and lower lips turn white and peel, leaving raw, red skin underneath. Ive seen multiple dermatologists but nothing has worked. I was diagnosed with Exfoliative Chelitis, where the skin on my lips peels off, exposing the raw skin. Ive tried various steroid creams, ointments, and even homeopathic and Ayurvedic treatments, but nothing helps. I feel like this might be related to my stomach or internal inflammation.

Hormonal evaluation: If you're experiencing hormonal imbalances, consult an endocrinologist or a healthcare professional for guidance.5. Consider alternative treatments: In addition to addressing potential underlying causes, you may want to explore alternative treatments like acupuncture, probiotics, or omega-3 supplements, which may help alleviate symptoms.Persistent Lip Care1.

I've been seeing a dermatologist for scarring due to acne and was prescribed Sotret 20mg. I've been taking it for the last 4 months, and while I've seen great improvements in my scars and my face is less oily, I've started experiencing some side effects. My hair has thinned out, I feel frequent eye burning, nosebleeds, stomach upset, hair fall, and back pain. Are these side effects of Sotret, and will they be permanent or stop once I stop taking the drug? Will my hair grow back to its original thickness, and if so, how long will it take to return to normal?

I have genital herpes and my test results came back showing HSV1 IgG positive and IgM negative. Since I have immunity to herpes, does that mean I can't infect others? Or is there still a risk?

Although you have developed immunity to HSV-1, you can still potentially transmit the virus to others through asymptomatic shedding and skin-to-skin contact, so it's essential to practice safe sex and disclose your status to sexual partners.

My mother had a corn on her foot and used a corn cap. After removing it, she cleaned the area with Dettol for 4-5 days, but the skin started burning and got worse. We took her to a dermatologist who prescribed Omnacortil 40mg. Online it says this medicine should work within an hour, but she hasn't felt any change.

How long does it usually take for the steroid to show results, and when can we expect her condition to improve? It's really worrying.

The skin around my neck is really dark, and I was told by a doctor that its acanthosis nigricans. He gave me some medicine and cream, but they haven't helped much. My sugar and thyroid levels are normal, but Ive gained some weight recently (Im 5'11" and 85 kg). Can you help me understand why this is happening and what I can do to get rid of it?

Acanthosis nigricans (AN) is a skin condition characterized by dark, velvety skin patches, typically on the neck, armpits, elbows, knees, or knuckles.Possible Reasons:1. Insulin Resistance: Although your sugar levels are normal, insulin resistance can still contribute to AN. As you're overweight, this could be a factor.2. Hormonal Imbalance: While your thyroid levels are normal, other hormonal imbalances, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), can contribute to AN.3. Genetics: AN can run in families, so there might be a genetic component.4. Obesity: Your weight could be contributing to the development of AN.Getting Rid of Acanthosis Nigricans:1. Weight Loss: Losing weight, particularly around the abdominal area, can help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce AN symptoms. Aim for a healthy weight (around 70-75 kg for your height).2. Dietary Changes: Focus on whole, unprocessed foods like vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Avoid sugary drinks and foods high in saturated fats.3. Exercise Regularly: Engage in moderate-intensity exercise, such as brisk walking, cycling, or swimming, for at least 150 minutes per week.4. Topical Treatments: Your doctor may prescribe topical creams or ointments containing ingredients like retinoids, hydroquinone, or urea to help lighten the skin.5. Medications: If your doctor suspects insulin resistance or hormonal imbalances, they may prescribe medications to address these underlying conditions.Consult Your Doctor:It's essential to follow up with your doctor to discuss the following:1. Medication adjustment: Your doctor may need to adjust your medication or add new ones to address the underlying causes.2. Lifestyle modifications: Your doctor can provide personalized guidance on weight loss, diet, and exercise.3. Monitoring: Regular check-ups will help your doctor monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

Im currently taking finasteride 1mg and minoxidil 5% for hair loss, and Im considering adding ashwagandha 500mg to my routine. Ive heard that ashwagandha helps reduce inflammation and cortisol (which can contribute to DHT), but it also increases testosterone. Would this combination help balance my testosterone levels? Ive been feeling some muscle loss, inflammation, and fatigue lately, and Im wondering if I might have low testosterone. Is it safe to take these together, or could it cause any issues?

You're considering adding ashwagandha to your existing regimen of finasteride and minoxidil.Ashwagandha's Effects on Testosterone and DHT1. Testosterone Increase: Ashwagandha may help increase testosterone levels, which could potentially counterbalance the testosterone-reducing effects of finasteride.2.

Cortisol Reduction: Ashwagandha's adaptogenic properties can help reduce cortisol levels, which may contribute to a decrease in DHT formation.Potential Benefits of the Combination1. Balanced Testosterone Levels: The combination of finasteride (reducing DHT) and ashwagandha (potentially increasing testosterone) might help maintain balanced testosterone levels.2. Reduced Inflammation: Ashwagandha's anti-inflammatory properties could complement the anti-inflammatory effects of minoxidil, potentially leading to reduced inflammation and improved overall health.3. Improved Muscle Mass and Fatigue: Ashwagandha's adaptogenic properties might help alleviate fatigue and improve muscle mass, although more research is needed to confirm this.

Ive been using Finax 1mg for hair loss for the past 15 days, and before starting the medication, my hair loss had already slowed down. But after starting it, I feel like my hair loss has increased. Im thinking of stopping the medicine now, but Im worried about any possible side effects from stopping it after just 15 days. Can you suggest what I should do?

Finax 1mg, containing finasteride, is a medication primarily used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness).Why You Might Be Experiencing Increased Hair Loss1. Initial Shedding: Finasteride can cause an initial shedding of hair, especially during the first few months of treatment. This is a common phenomenon, and hair growth should stabilize over time.2. Hormonal Adjustments: Finasteride works by blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that contributes to hair loss. However, this hormonal adjustment can sometimes lead to temporary increased hair loss.Stoping Finax 1mg After 15 Days1. No Significant Side Effects Expected: Since you've only been taking Finax 1mg for 15 days, it's unlikely that you'll experience significant side effects from stopping the medication.2. Rebound Effect: However, you might experience a rebound effect, where your hair loss returns to its pre-treatment state or even worsens temporarily.3. Hormonal Readjustment: After stopping finasteride, your hormone levels will readjust, which might lead to temporary changes in hair growth patterns.

Ive noticed a red pimple, kind of big, under my left breast. Now its turned dark, and there are smaller red pimples next to it. Im really worried it could be cancer. Could these be symptoms of breast cancer? Im not sure if its related, but I recently started exercising almost every day and havent been wearing a sports bra, just a regular tight one. Could sweat and friction from this be causing these pimples under just one breast?

Don't worry, I'm here to help you figure out what might be going on.The symptoms you're describing - a red pimple under your left breast that's turned dark, with other small red pimples nearby - are unlikely to be breast cancer. Breast cancer typically presents as a lump or thickening in the breast tissue, not as pimples or skin lesions [1).That being said, it's always a good idea to get any new or changing skin symptoms checked out by a doctor. They can take a closer look and provide a proper diagnosis.As for the possible causes, sweat and friction from exercising and wearing a tight bra could definitely contribute to skin irritation and pimples in that area. This is especially likely if you're not wearing a sports bra that fits well and allows for good airflow

Ive heard a lot of talk recently about how drinking too much tea or coffee can lead to grey hair, especially because of the caffeine in coffee. I read an article that said caffeine can harm hair and possibly make it go grey faster. Is there any truth to this? Should I be worried about how much tea or coffee I drink? Please let me know what you think.

Let's dive into the relationship between tea, coffee, caffeine, and gray hair.Caffeine and Hair HealthCaffeine is a stimulant found in tea, coffee, and some medications. While moderate caffeine consumption is generally safe, excessive intake may negatively impact hair health.Potential Effects of Caffeine on Hair1. Hormonal Imbalance: Caffeine can disrupt hormonal balances, particularly affecting the thyroid gland. Hormonal changes can contribute to hair graying, thinning, or loss.2. Stress and Adrenaline: Caffeine stimulates the production of adrenaline, which can increase stress levels. Prolonged stress may lead to an increase in free radicals, potentially damaging hair follicles and contributing to graying.3. Sleep Disturbances: Consuming caffeine in large amounts or too close to bedtime can disrupt sleep patterns. Poor sleep quality and duration can affect hair growth and potentially lead to graying.4. Nutrient Deficiencies: Excessive caffeine consumption may lead to an imbalance of essential nutrients, including vitamins and minerals. These deficiencies can impact hair health, potentially causing graying or other issues.

Ive been dealing with alopecia for the past five years and have tried many medications, but nothing seems to work. Is there any proper treatment or solution for it that could help?

Alopecia can be a challenging and frustrating condition.Understanding AlopeciaAlopecia is an autoimmune disease that causes hair loss due to the body's immune system attacking the hair follicles. There are different types of alopecia, including alopecia areata, alopecia totalis, and alopecia universalis.Current Treatment OptionsWhile there is no cure for alopecia, various treatments can help promote hair growth and manage symptoms. Since you've tried several medications without success, let's explore other options:1. Minoxidil (Rogaine): A topical solution applied directly to the scalp to stimulate hair growth.2. Anthralin (Dritho-Scalp): A topical cream or ointment that can help promote hair growth and reduce inflammation.3. Corticosteroids: Injected into the scalp to reduce inflammation and promote hair growth.4. Immunotherapy: A treatment that aims to desensitize the immune system to the hair follicles.5. Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT): A non-invasive treatment that uses low-level laser or light-emitting diodes to stimulate hair growth.Emerging TreatmentsResearchers are exploring new treatments for alopecia, including:1. JAK inhibitors: Oral medications that target the immune system's response to hair follicles.2. Stem cell therapy: A treatment that uses stem cells to promote hair growth.3. Gene therapy: A treatment that aims to modify the genes responsible for alopecia.Consult a SpecialistIt's essential to consult a dermatologist or an alopecia specialist to discuss your treatment options and determine the best course of action for your specific case. They can help you:1. Re-evaluate your diagnosis: Confirm the type and severity of your alopecia.2. Explore new treatment options: Discuss emerging treatments and clinical trials.3. Develop a personalized treatment plan: Create a tailored plan to address your specific needs and concerns.Remember, it's crucial to work with a healthcare professional to find the most effective treatment approach for your alopecia.

I had a dog bite me in 2001/2002, but I didn't take the rabies vaccine at that time. After about 5-6 years, I got worried and took 3 doses of the vaccine in 2008. Over the next few years, I took a total of 12 rabies vaccines as post-exposure treatment (3 in 2008, 3 in 2010, 4 in 2011, and 2 in 2012).My question is, with all these vaccines, is there still a risk of getting rabies in the future, especially since I got the vaccines much later after the bite?Also, last November, I had dinner at a mela where the food was placed on the floor, and I got worried that a dog might have eaten it. Some doctors told me that the rabies incubation period is 1-3 months, but its been 6-7 months now. Should I still be concerned about rabies, and should I get tests like the Nuchal Biopsy or Rabies Antibody test? Im really confused and anxious about this situation.

Given your concerns, I'll provide a detailed response to help alleviate your worries.(i) Dog bite in 2001/2002 and subsequent vaccinationsYou received a dog bite in 2001/2002 but didn't receive immediate post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). Later, between 2008-2012, you received a total of 12 rabies vaccinations.The risk of developing rabies in this scenario is extremely low.Multiple factors contribute to this assessment:1. Time elapsed: The dog bite occurred over 20 years ago, and you've received multiple vaccinations since then.2. Vaccination regimen: You've completed a series of vaccinations, which provides robust immunity against rabies.3. Immune system response: Your immune system has likely developed a strong response to the vaccinations, further reducing the risk of developing rabies.(ii) Concerns about food exposure at a hotelYou're worried that a dog might have contaminated the food you ate at a hotel. Even if a dog had come into contact with the food, the risk of transmitting rabies through contaminated food is extremely low.Key points to consider:1. Rabies transmission: Rabies is primarily transmitted through the saliva of an infected animal, usually through a bite. Indirect transmission through contaminated food or surfaces is highly unlikely.2. Incubation period: The incubation period for rabies is typically between 2-10 weeks, with most cases occurring within 2-3 months. Since you've already passed the 6-7 month mark, the risk of developing rabies from this incident is negligible.3. Testing and diagnosis: Nuchal biopsy and rabies antibody tests are typically used to diagnose rabies in symptomatic individuals. Given your asymptomatic status and the low risk of exposure, these tests are unlikely to provide any valuable information.

I've been dealing with severe acne for the past 7-8 years, and it keeps coming and going. I'm currently seeing a dermatologist, and I'm on a course of Tretiva 30 mg, which has helped reduce the acne a lot. I've also had 8 chemical peels in the last 3 months, but my pimples keep coming back. Should I continue with this treatment, or is there something else I can do to get rid of them for good?

It's great that you're already consulting a dermatologist for your acne concerns. Given your 7-8 year history with acne, it's not surprising that it's been a persistent issue.Tretiva 30 mg and chemical peels:1. Tretiva 30 mg: This medication, containing isotretinoin, is commonly used to treat severe acne. The fact that your acne has reduced considerably is a positive sign.2. Chemical peels: These can help improve skin texture, reduce acne scars, and control acne. Having done 8 sessions in 3 months is a good effort.Pimples persisting:Despite the treatments, pimples persisting can be frustrating. This might be due to various factors, such as:1. Hormonal fluctuations: Acne can be influenced by hormonal changes.2. Bacterial resistance: Acne-causing bacteria might develop resistance to treatments.3. Skin care routine: Inconsistent or inadequate skin care might contribute to persistent acne.4. Underlying skin conditions: Conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, or inflammatory bowel disease can increase the risk of acne.

Hi, the scabs from my chickenpox have dried, but they havent started to fall off yet. I scratched a few of the blisters in the beginning, and I'm worried that they might leave scars. Im planning to see a dermatologist, but should I wait until Im fully recovered or should I see a skin doctor now to prevent marks?

Hi, I have a 7-month-old baby and Im wondering if P. folliculitis and P. versicolor are contagious. If I carry him, could it spread to him?

As a parent, it's natural to worry about your baby's health.Pityrosporum Folliculitis (P. Folliculitis) and Pityriasis Versicolor (P. Versicolor):Both conditions are caused by the overgrowth of a yeast-like fungus called Malassezia. This fungus is naturally present on human skin and can cause problems when it grows excessively.Neither P. Folliculitis nor P. Versicolor is highly contagious. The fungus that causes these conditions is already present on human skin, and overgrowth is often triggered by individual factors, such as:1. Hormonal changes2. Stress3. Genetics4. Environmental factors (e.g., humidity, temperature)Risk of transmission to your baby:The risk of transmitting P. Folliculitis or P. Versicolor to your 7-month-old baby is low.

Hi doctor, Last month, I noticed a shiny rash on the head of my penis, but it went away on its own. Since then, the head has been red, and the ring around it is pink with some papules. The foreskin has been sticky with some white stuff inside. Ive been washing it daily with soap, and now the skin on the head is peeling and becoming erosive. Ive been applying coconut oil, but the skin still peels. I dont have any itching, pain, lesions, or sores though. Could this be a serious issue?

Based on your symptoms, it's possible that you experienced a self-limiting condition, such as:1. Irritant contact dermatitis (reaction to soap)2. Balanitis (inflammation of the penis head)3. Posthitis (inflammation of the foreskin)To promote healing and prevent future occurrences:1. Discontinue using harsh soaps; switch to gentle, fragrance-free cleansers.2. Apply coconut oil or a topical emollient to soothe the skin.3. Avoid excessive washing or rubbing.4. Consider consulting a dermatologist or urologist for proper evaluation and guidance.In the meantime, maintain good genital hygiene:1. Clean the area with lukewarm water and a mild cleanser.2. Pat dry; avoid rubbing.3. Apply coconut oil or a topical emollient to keep the skin moisturized.

Doctor, Ive been dealing with candidal balanoposthitis and Im wondering if masturbating too much could be the cause. If I reduce how often I masturbate, will it help cure the condition?

Masturbation itself is unlikely to directly cause candidal balanoposthitis. However, excessive masturbation can contribute to the development of this condition indirectly:_Friction and irritation_: Frequent masturbation can cause friction, leading to irritation and micro-tears in the skin. This can create an environment conducive to Candida overgrowth._Moisture accumulation_: Masturbation can lead to increased moisture in the genital area, which can contribute to Candida growth._Imbalanced skin pH_: Frequent masturbation can disrupt the natural skin pH, creating an environment that fosters Candida growth.Limiting masturbation may help alleviate some contributing factors, but it is unlikely to cure candidal balanoposthitis on its own. Treatment typically involves:_Antifungal medications_: Topical or oral antifungals to address the Candida infection._Good genital hygiene_: Keeping the area clean and dry._Avoiding irritants_: Reducing friction and avoiding harsh soaps or products.

Doctor, Ive been advised to use SPF 30 for sun protection. I wanted to ask if mixing ready-made Aloe Vera Gel with Vitamin E and applying it on my face is a good option to help reduce dark patches. Would this work or should I try something else?

Aloe vera gel and vitamin E can be a good combination to help reduce dark patches on the face. Here's why:1. Aloe vera gel has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can help soothe and calm the skin, reducing redness and irritation.2. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that can help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals, which can contribute to dark patches.3. Vitamin E also has skin-lightening properties, which can help reduce the appearance of dark patches.However, keep in mind:- It's essential to choose a readymade aloe vera gel that is pure and free of harsh chemicals.- Vitamin E can be quite thick, so you may want to mix it with a few drops of a carrier oil like coconut or jojoba oil to make it easier to apply.- Always do a patch test before applying any new skincare mixture to your face to ensure you don't have any sensitivity or allergic reactions.- Consistency is key! Apply the mixture regularly, ideally once or twice a day, and be patient as it may take some time to see results.Remember to consult with a dermatologist if the dark patches persist or worsen. They can provide personalized advice and help you identify the underlying cause of the dark patches.Also, don't forget to use SPF 30 as recommended by your doctor to protect your skin from further damage!

Hi doctor,My doctor recommended Aziderm gel, but I ended up buying Aziderm cream by mistake. Is it okay to use the cream instead of the gel, or will it cause any irritation or problems for my skin?

Aziderm contains azelaic acid, which is commonly used to treat certain skin conditions like acne. The primary difference between a gel and a cream formulation lies in their base composition. Gels are usually water-based, tend to be lighter, and can be more suitable for oily or acne-prone skin. Creams, on the other hand, are often oil-based, thicker, and might be more appropriate for dry or sensitive skin.Using Aziderm cream instead of gel should generally be safe, but keep the following points in mind:Skin Type Compatibility: If you have very oily or acne-prone skin, a gel might penetrate better without leaving a greasy feeling. If your skin is more on the dry or sensitive side, a cream might be more soothing.Irritation Potential: Both formulations can potentially cause some irritation, especially if your skin is sensitive to azelaic acid. Watch for redness, stinging, or peeling. If you experience significant discomfort, consider discontinuing use or reducing the frequency of application.Application Tips:Apply a thin layer to the affected area.Start using it once daily to see how your skin reacts, then gradually increase to twice daily if needed.Moisturizer: If you notice dryness, applying a non-comedogenic moisturizer after the cream may help.Sun Protection: Ensure you use adequate sun protection, as azelaic acid can make your skin more sensitive to the sun.

Hi doctor,Ive been dealing with this issue for over 17 years. It started with a couple of pimple-like bumps filled with pus on my scalp. Now, these pus-filled bumps have gotten bigger and appear almost everywhere on my scalp except for the bald spots. Ive seen multiple doctors over the years. The problem goes away with medication but comes back as soon as I stop. Ive had tests done, but nothing really helps long-term. One doctor mentioned a powerful medicine that could affect my kidneys, so he suggested continuing the current meds. Ive been on and off antibiotics like Gudcef CV 200 and Azithromycin, and shampoos like Candid TV, Ketone, Nizoral, and Ketoconazole, but the bumps always come back. Last year, I consulted a doctor hoping for a permanent solution, but he seemed more interested in money and kept me on the same repeated meds. Is there anything else I can do for permanent relief?

Your 17-year struggle with a chronic scalp condition, characterized by pus-filled bumps, is concerning. Despite consulting multiple doctors and using various medications, including antibiotics and antifungal shampoos, you've experienced only temporary relief._Possible Underlying Conditions_1. Folliculitis: An inflammation of the hair follicles, which can cause pus-filled bumps.2. Seborrheic dermatitis: A skin condition that can cause inflammation, flaking, and pus-filled bumps on the scalp.3. Psoriasis: An autoimmune condition that can cause red, scaly patches and pus-filled bumps on the scalp._Concerns and Recommendations_1. Kidney concerns: The doctor's warning about potential kidney damage from powerful medications is a concern. Monitor your kidney function regularly.2. Antibiotic resistance: Frequent use of antibiotics may lead to resistance. Explore alternative treatments to reduce antibiotic dependence.3. Comprehensive diagnosis: Seek a second opinion from a dermatologist or a specialist in scalp conditions. They may perform a thorough examination, take a detailed medical history, and potentially conduct diagnostic tests (e.g., skin scraping, biopsy) to determine the underlying cause.4. Holistic treatment approach: Consider a comprehensive treatment plan that includes:- Topical treatments (shampoos, creams, ointments)- Oral medications (if necessary)- Lifestyle changes (diet, stress management, hygiene practices)- Alternative therapies (e.g., phototherapy, acupuncture)_Permanent Recovery_To achieve permanent recovery, it's essential to:1. Identify the underlying cause: Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment.2. Develop a comprehensive treatment plan: Work with a healthcare professional to create a personalized plan.3. Make lifestyle changes: Adopt healthy habits to support your treatment plan.4. Monitor progress and adjust: Regularly follow up with your healthcare professional to assess progress and make adjustments to your treatment plan as needed.

I accidentally used undiluted Dettol on my nose and chin on June 7th. It started burning, so I washed it off right away. But today, I woke up with tight, dry, and flaky skin. After peeling it off, I noticed red, burning skin underneath. How should I treat this and prevent scarring?

No need to worry there is no further complications with this, and the reaction might be due to concentrated Dettol, it usually heals on its own if the exposed area is large and giving you pain , visit your Dermatologist for appropriate treatment.

Ive noticed some brown spots on the head of my penis for the past 2-3 months, and theyve been getting bigger. Theres no itching, pain, or any other symptoms, but the spots darken when I press or scratch them. After some research, I think it might be penile melanosis. Ive been using Sonaderm NM, but theres been no improvement. This is really starting to affect me mentally even though my overall health seems fine. There are only two spots on the top part, but its still concerning. What should I do? Should I keep using the cream, or is there something else I need to try?

No need to worry about your condition that's harmless and usually no complications in future, visit Dermatologist and evaluation is required in order to prevent it from progressing.

I've been dealing with dandruff and a really itchy scalp for a long time now, and it seems to be getting worse. Over the past two years, I've noticed a significant amount of hair shedding. A few doctors have diagnosed me with seborrheic dermatitis, but nothing seems to be helping.

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

Ive been dealing with hives or urticaria every other day, and I take Cetcip 10mg whenever the rashes appear. Is it safe to keep taking this medication? Is there any way to completely cure hives, or should I try a different treatment? How long should I continue with the tablets?

Cetirizine is a commonly used antihistamine for treating hives/Urticaria. It is safe to take this tablet for relief from symptoms. However, for a more effective and long-term solution, you can consider taking a different class of antihistamines such as Allegra (Fexofenadine). Additionally, if the hives/Urticaria are severe or persistent, your doctor may prescribe a short course of corticosteroids like Prednisone for a few days to help control the inflammation. It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding the duration of treatment with any medication.

Hi, Im a female and Ive had jock itch since July 2017, so its been more than 2 months now. I admit I didnt take it seriously until recently, but for the past week, Ive been applying Betadine to the area every 3-4 hours (except when Im sleeping). The affected area covers almost my whole groin. Im not sure if its getting better. I havent seen a doctor yet, but I wanted to know if Betadine will still help cure this kind of jock itch.

Applying betadine may help with disinfection, but for the treatment of jock itch, it is important to use antifungal medication. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Additionally, you can take oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting clothes, and avoid sharing towels or clothing to prevent spreading the infection.

The last time I used it for a month, the hair loss stopped. Im 23 and female. Can you advise me on what might be going on and what I should do next?

you can switch to higher dose of topical minoxidil under trichologist guidance, before you have to check the cause of hair fall which could be due to androgen effect, any dermatophytic infection etc., consultation with Dermatologist and appropriate approach would help you.

But now, Im noticing unwanted hair growth on my face, especially on my forehead, under my eyes, and along my cheeks. The forehead hair is even getting long. Im losing confidence because of this visible facial hair. Should I reduce the dose of Minoxidil? Ive been using 1ml twice a day. Would applying it once a day help, or will that cause hair loss again? Is there any other way to stop this side effect? Anyone have advice?

your features looks like a condition called hirsutism which could be due to androgen imbalance, this might not be due to minoxidil lotion ,u can make the frequency to once daily as your hair fall issue is resolved, visit Dermatologist as soon as possible for further evaluation.

Hi, I tested positive for COVID on May 4th but didnt have any issues for about 2.5 weeks after that. Recently, Ive noticed an allergy around the corners of my mouth. I tried applying Sebamed lip balm in the morning and Laneige lip sleeping mask at night, but the irritation spread to my upper and lower lips. I switched to using Vaseline petroleum jelly, but now theres swelling in my lips, a burning sensation around my mouth, and a rash on my face. Could you help me figure out whats going on and what I should do?

Sounds like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction or contact dermatitis. I recommend stopping the use of all lip products and petroleum jelly for now. You can take an antihistamine such as Cetirizine to help with the itching and swelling. Additionally, you can apply a thin layer of hydrocortisone cream 1% on the affected areas of your lips and face twice a day for up to 7 days. Make sure to avoid any known allergens or irritants, and if the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I got my hair straightened a year ago, and because I have thick hair, the chemical was left on for about 20 minutes longer than the recommended time. Since then, my new hair growth has been much thinner, and I'm still losing a lot of hair even after a year. Is it possible for my hair to grow back thicker, or did the damage to the roots make it permanently thin? The doctor I saw suggested using Folliserumwill that help reduce hair fall and promote new growth? Also, is there anything else I can use to strengthen my hair roots? I'm also thinking about getting a hair transplant for the frontal area since I've lost a lot of hair there. How much would that cost in Bangalore?

Hair thinning and loss can occur due to various reasons, including damage to the hair follicles from chemical treatments. While it is possible for hair to grow back thicker with proper care and treatment, it may take time. To help with hair growth and thickness, you can try using Minoxidil solution on the affected areas. It can help stimulate hair growth and prevent further hair loss.3 Folliserum is a good choice as it contains biotin, keratin, and other vitamins that can help nourish the hair follicles and promote hair growth. Regarding the hair transplant for the frontal part of your hair, the cost can vary depending on the clinic and the number of grafts needed. In Bangalore, the cost of a hair transplant can range from Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 1,00,000 or more, depending on the clinic and the expertise of the surgeon.

Ive been dealing with scalp folliculitis for a while now. I saw a dermatologist who told me its caused by a bacterial infection that can spread from the nose to the scalp. The bumps are oval and white in shape. When I take the prescribed medication and use the cream, it helps and the folliculitis disappears after about a week, but once I stop, the problem comes back, and new bumps form all over my scalp. I dont want to rely on medication long-term. Is there any other way to treat or prevent this from coming back?

Sounds like you are experiencing recurrent scalp folliculitis despite completing a course of medication. In cases of persistent or recurrent folliculitis, your dermatologist may consider prescribing oral antibiotics such as Doxycycline along with a topical antibiotic cream like Mupirocin 2%. It is important to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed by your doctor to fully eradicate the bacterial infection. Wash your hair regularly with a gentle shampoo to keep the scalp clean. Avoid using oily hair products or hair styling products that can clog the hair follicles. Use a clean towel and avoid sharing combs or hair accessories to prevent the spread of bacteria. Avoid picking or scratching the bumps to prevent further irritation and infection. If the folliculitis continues to recur despite these measures, it is important to follow up with your dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

Ive been dealing with severe hair fall for the past two months, ever since I recovered from jaundice. My dermatologist recommended using Keraboost tablets along with a hair serum. She said I could choose between two optionsone contains Minoxidil and the other contains Procapil, based on availability. When I looked up Minoxidil online, I found some information about side effects if I stop using it, so Im a bit concerned. I was wondering if Procapil has any side effects too. Would Procapil be a better choice in my case? Im also concerned about the long-term costs, so Id appreciate your guidance on which option might be better for me.

Regarding your concern about the side effects of Procapil, it is generally considered to have fewer side effects compared to Minoxidil. Procapil is a combination of three active ingredients that work to improve hair anchoring, reduce hair loss, and stimulate hair growth without the potential side effects associated with Minoxidil. You can consider using a hair serum containing Procapil as recommended by your dermatologist.

I've been having a burning pain in my left armpit for the past two weeks. I recently had a breast ultrasound that showed enlarged lymph nodes in both armpits and a cyst in one breast. The doctor said that can't be the cause of the burning, but I'm still concerned. A few weeks ago, I had some redness and irritation in the same armpit from a perfume, but that cleared up. There's no burning in my right armpit, and there's no visible patch in the left one. Any ideas on what could be causing this burning pain?

This could be due to irritation from the previous reaction to perfume or other underlying causes. I recommend taking an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen to help with the pain and inflammation. Additionally, applying a topical pain relief cream containing lidocaine may provide some relief. If the pain persists, you may need a prescription for a medication like gabapentin to help with nerve pain. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

Hi doctor, I used to have a fair complexion, but lately my skin has become dull and darker.

Can you suggest something to help? Just to mention, I have oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin.

To help improve your skin tone and regain the glow, you can try using a topical cream containing Vitamin C and Niacinamide. These ingredients can help brighten the skin and even out the complexion. Additionally, using a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily can protect your skin from further damage and darkening. For your oily and acne-prone skin, you can use a gentle cleanser containing salicylic acid to help control oil production and prevent breakouts.

Hi doctor, about a month ago I started experiencing itching near my bikini area, and it's been spreading day by day. The skin has become really dry and it's peeling off, almost like it's broken. I saw a doctor who prescribed TEXIFEN cream, but Im still having the same issue. What should I do next?

In addition to the cream you have been using, I recommend adding an antifungal medication like Clotrimazole cream, You can also take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole to treat the infection from the inside. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting cotton underwear, and avoid tight clothing to help with the healing process.

Hi doctor, Im a 27-year-old man and I have some pimples on my face. Ive been taking one pill of DOXOL-LB daily. Is it safe for me? Also, can you suggest any acne and scar removal creams or medications? My face tends to be very oily. Is laser treatment for acne scars safe?

Consult your regular Dermatologist for proper frequency and dosing of your DOXOL - LB tablets. For oily face, you can use a face wash containing Salicylic acid twice daily to control oil production. Laser treatment for acne scars can be safe and effective, but it is important to consult with a dermatologist to determine the best treatment option for your specific condition.

I have pimples on my face, and my dermatologist recommended using Melapik Ever cream at night with the Lumiedge bathing bar. I used it for one day, but the next day I started experiencing itching, burning, extreme dryness, and my face is getting very dark. Now the doctor has suggested Kojiglow Forte cream instead. Is this the right treatment for me?

It is possible that your skin is sensitive to the ingredients in these products. Kojiglow Forte cream contains Kojic acid, Arbutin, and Vitamin C which are commonly used to treat hyperpigmentation and dark spots on the skin. If you continue to experience itching, burning, extreme dryness, or any other discomfort, I recommend stopping the use of all products and consulting with your dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

Allegra makes them disappear, but they come back about 48 hours later. This happened last year too around August, but Allegra worked back then. What's going on, and how can I figure out a solution?

Ive been having dandruff, and my doctor suggested KZ lotion. How exactly should I use it? Should I apply it to dry or wet hair, and how long before a shower should I put it on?

Cream/Gel/Lotion: Wash and dry the infected area of the skin. Take a small amount of cream/gel/lotion on the finger and gently rub on the clean and dry affected area and surrounding skin. It is only for external use. Avoid contact of cream/gel/lotion with the nose, mouth, or eyes. In case it comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Wash your hands before and after using cream/gel/lotion if hands are not the affected area to prevent the spread of infection.Shampoo: Wash your hair with the shampoo and leave it on for 3 to 5 minutes. Then, rinse thoroughly with water.

Repeated rubbing off the nose due to allergies can also cause this. Could be a result of mild trauma, Sun exposure or hormonal changes. So to treat and prevent that avoid all the things I mentioned before . Use a gentle cleanser to clean the area twice daily. Avoid harsh scrubbing. Moisturise the area.

I've been using a fair cream from Zee Drugs for about a year now, but whenever I stop using it for just one day, I start getting small pimples near my nose and on my forehead.

My doctor prescribed me minoxidil and folliserum to use together. Is it okay to use both at the same time? Im also wondering if this will help stop my hair fall. Im not even sure whats causing it, especially since it started at such a young age. I think its because of my bad lifestyle, like eating a lot of junk food, not eating enough fruits, drinking very little water, and masturbating every day. I cant seem to break these habits, but no doctor seems to think masturbation is the issue. Every time I masturbate, I feel weak, sleepy, moody, and lazy, plus Im really thin. Im struggling with these issues, like hair loss and self-esteem, but doctors keep saying its healthy. How can that be true? I just need some clarity.

Yes, both products can be used at the same time but there are some considerations like application timing , since both products are typically applied topically , it's important to allow one product to absorb fully before applying the other. Applying multiple products may cause scalp irritation for some individuals. If you notice redness, itching,or discomfort, it might be helpful to reduce the frequency of application or consult with a dermatologist.

I have Acanthosis Nigricans and the skin around my knees is getting darker and thicker. Are there any good home remedies to lighten the skin or reduce the thickening? I'm looking for something that might help with this condition.

For Acanthosis nigricans, it is important to address the underlying cause, such as obesity or insulin resistance. In addition to medical treatment, you can try using over-the-counter creams containing ingredients like retinoids or alpha hydroxy acids to help lighten the darkened skin. Moisturizing regularly can also help improve the appearance of the affected areas. To address the thickened skin in Acanthosis nigricans on the knees, you can try using a keratolytic cream containing ingredients like salicylic acid or urea to help soften and exfoliate the skin. Regular exfoliation and moisturizing can also help improve the texture of the skin on the knees.

I have an IGE level over 3000, and its causing itching all over my body. Ive been using some tablets prescribed by my doctor for the last two months, but they dont seem to be working. The tablets are also making me gain weight. Is there a risk of having very high IGE levels, and is there anything else I can do to manage it?

In such cases, it is important to discuss alternative treatment options with your doctor. To help reduce itching and lower your IGE levels, you can consider taking antihistamines such as Cetirizine 10mg once daily. Additionally, your doctor may also prescribe corticosteroids like Prednisone in a low dose to help control the itching. It is important to follow your doctor's advice and regularly monitor your IGE levels to assess the effectiveness of the treatment. Severe IGE levels can pose a risk as it indicates an overactive immune response, which can lead to various allergic reactions. It is important to address the underlying cause of the elevated IGE levels and work with your doctor to manage your symptoms effectively.

It sounds like you may have developed an infection in the burn wound. I recommend using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to help prevent further infection.

These dark spots could be a condition called dermatosis papulosa nigra, which is common in individuals with skin of color, like yourself. To help reduce the appearance of these spots, you can try using topical retinoids like Adapalene gel in the evening on the affected areas.

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which can occur after inflammation or injury to the skin.

Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area once daily in the evening. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF on the affected area can help prevent further darkening of the skin.

Im a 26-year-old guy living in Mumbai. Ive always been fair, but over the last couple of decades with all the sun exposure and not taking proper care of my skin, my face, hands, and neck have gotten noticeably darker. If I stay indoors for a few days, I get a little lighter, but being a working professional, thats not really an option.

To help regain your lost complexion and lighten your skin tone, you can consider using topical creams containing hydroquinone, kojic acid, or azelaic acid. These can help lighten dark spots and even out skin tone. Additionally, using a daily sunscreen with high SPF can prevent further darkening of the skin due to sun exposure.

Hi, I have sensitive and acne-prone skin and Ive been trying a few new things. Yesterday, I started using ACNESTAR soap because I have pimples all over my body, and Ive been applying pure aloe vera at night and leaving it on. I also started drinking Safi yesterday. But last night, my skin started itching a lot. Could it be because of the soap, the Safi, or maybe the combination of all three? Im a bit confused and not sure whats causing the reaction. Any advice on what I should do?

ACNESTAR soap contains Salicylic Acid which can sometimes cause skin irritation, especially if you have sensitive skin. Safi is an herbal blood purifier and can sometimes cause allergic reactions in some individuals. Using multiple products together can also sometimes lead to skin irritation. I would recommend stopping the ACNESTAR soap for now and see if the itching improves. You can continue using the aloe vera gel before sleeping as it is generally soothing for the skin. As for Safi, you can also stop it temporarily to see if the itching subsides.

The itching and pain you are experiencing after applying Silverex ointment may be due to an allergic reaction or sensitivity to the silver sulfadiazine in the ointment. I recommend stopping the use of Silverex ointment and instead applying a gentle soothing cream like aloe vera gel or plain white petroleum jelly to help with the itching and pain. You can also take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen to help with the pain. Make sure to keep the burn clean and covered with a sterile dressing.

I keep getting acne on my face and back all year round and its really frustrating. A friend recommended I try Momate-F cream. Is it safe to use for acne on my back? Also, what exactly does this cream do?

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.

Ive been dealing with a skin allergy that causes swelling all over my body. My doctor said its due to seafood, but the problem is still continuing. Ive been taking Allegra 120mg for the past 4 months, but whenever I stop even for one day, the allergy comes back. Im worried about the side effects of taking this medication long-term. Is there a solution to this or something else I can do?

It seems like you are experiencing a persistent allergic reaction despite taking Allegra (Fexofenadine) 120mg daily. In such cases, you may benefit from a different class of antihistamines such as Cetirizine (Zyrtec) 10mg once daily or Loratadine (Claritin) 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can consider adding a mast cell stabilizer like Cromolyn sodium (Nasalcrom) to prevent the release of histamine in your body. It is important to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen.

Ive been using Melanocyl ointment for my vitiligo as prescribed by my doctor, but now Ive developed a sore and reddish patch on the affected area. My doctor is on leave, and Im not sure what to do. Can you suggest what I should do for the sore?

Seems like you may be experiencing a reaction to the Melanocyl ointment. You can try using a mild corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream on the sore area to reduce inflammation and itching. Apply a thin layer twice a day for a week. Additionally, you can use an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult with another healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I have uneven skin tone with dark patches near my nose, and Im confused about whether its tanning or pigmentation. Can you explain the difference between the two?

Tanning is the skin's natural response to exposure to UV radiation, leading to the darkening of the skin. It is usually temporary and fades away as the skin regenerates. On the other hand, pigmentation refers to the color of the skin, which can be affected by various factors such as genetics, hormones, and sun exposure. Dark patches near the nose could be a result of both tanning and pigmentation issues. To address this, you can use a topical cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid to lighten the dark patches. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF daily can help prevent further darkening of the skin.

Im 19 and have a lot of white hair. I was recommended to take Dex Orange syrup to reduce the white hair, but Im not sure if its actually effective. Can you tell me if its useful for this?

Dex Orange syrup is a multivitamin supplement that contains essential vitamins and minerals like Vitamin C, Vitamin B12, Folic Acid, Biotin, and Zinc. While it can help improve overall hair health and prevent premature graying to some extent, it may not specifically target or reduce white hair. It is important to maintain a balanced diet rich in nutrients for overall hair health. The recommended dosage of Dex Orange syrup is usually 10ml once a day.

Additionally, you can apply a small amount of hydrocortisone cream to reduce inflammation. Make sure to keep the area clean and avoid picking at it. If the condition does not improve or worsens, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

I have a sebaceous pilar cyst on my head and Im thinking about getting it removed. Will my hair grow back after the removal?

Sebaceous pilar cysts can be removed through a minor surgical procedure called excision. Hair typically grows back after the removal of a sebaceous pilar cyst, as long as the hair follicles are not damaged during the procedure. It is important to follow post-operative care instructions provided by your healthcare provider to promote proper healing and minimize the risk of complications.

Hey doctor, my friend is losing a lot of hair and he's starting to go bald. Is there any way to grow hair back on a bald spot?

While it may be challenging to grow hair on a completely bald head, there are some treatment options available that may help stimulate hair growth. One common medication used for male pattern baldness is Minoxidil, which is available in brands like Rogaine. It is typically applied to the scalp twice daily in a 5% solution for men. Another option is Finasteride, which is available in brands like Propecia. It is taken orally in a 1mg dose once daily. These medications may help slow down hair loss and promote some degree of hair regrowth in certain individuals. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the most suitable treatment plan for your friend's specific situation.

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?

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.

I've been dealing with jock itch for about two years now, and the affected area keeps getting worse every week. It's spread all over my butt. I've tried using fungal soap and creams, but it just keeps coming back. What can I do to completely get rid of it? Are there any medicines or treatments that will cure it for good?

Jock itch, also known as tinea cruris, is a fungal infection that affects the skin in the groin area. For persistent cases like yours, oral antifungal medications may be necessary for complete eradication. I recommend taking Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks along with applying Clotrimazole cream twice daily to the affected areas. Additionally, keeping the affected area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and avoiding sharing personal items can help prevent recurrence.

I've noticed that the skin on my face is uneven in tone. The area from my forehead to my nose is fair, but the skin below my nose is darker. What could be causing this, and is there any treatment to even out the skin tone?

This condition is known as hyperpigmentation, where certain areas of the skin produce more melanin, leading to darker patches. To treat this, you can use a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. Apply a thin layer on the dark areas once daily, preferably at night. Additionally, using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every day can help prevent further darkening of the skin.

Ive been noticing red dots on the head of my penis after masturbation or sex. It becomes painful to retract the foreskin, especially around the frenulum, and the red dots usually go away after 4-5 days of no activity. I visited a dermatologist, and they prescribed an antifungal cream, but it hasnt helped even after a month. I tested negative for HIV. Could you help me understand what this might be and what treatment I should try?

Since the anti-fungal cream prescribed by the dermatologist did not resolve the issue, it may be worth considering a different approach. I recommend trying a combination of antibiotic and steroid cream to address any possible bacterial or inflammatory component of the condition. You can apply a combination of Mupirocin ointment (2%) and Hydrocortisone cream (1%) twice daily on the affected area for 7-10 days. Additionally, practicing good hygiene, including gently washing the penis with warm water and mild soap, and ensuring proper drying of the area after bathing, can help prevent recurrence

I was prescribed Speelac 2% salicylic acid face wash and have been using it twice a day for the last two days. Now my skin is feeling extremely dry and painful, and I get a burning sensation when I apply any ointments. Is this normal or should I be concerned? I'm also using Acnemoist and Derivative CMS gel along with it. Could these products be causing this reaction?

You may be experiencing an adverse reaction to the salicylic acid face wash. The dryness, pain, and burning sensation you are feeling are not normal and may indicate that the product is too harsh for your skin. I recommend stopping the use of the Speelac face wash and consult your doctor or dermatologist for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can use a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil or Aveeno to help soothe your skin.

I have a lot of chest hair, but recently I've been noticing hair loss in that area. I saw a dermatologist, and he said its alopecia areata and started UV treatment for 6 weeks, but it didnt help. Then, I consulted a homeopath and did a thyroid test, and my TSH was around 8. The homeopathic doctor gave me some medicines, but still no improvement. Can you help me figure out whats going on?

Since the UV treatment and homeopathic medicines did not show any improvement, it's important to address the underlying thyroid issue. Your TSH level of around 8 indicates hypothyroidism, which can contribute to hair loss. The medications prescribed by the homeopathic doctor may not have been effective, so I recommend consulting with a medical doctor or endocrinologist for proper management of your thyroid condition.

This could be due to withdrawal effects or rebound effects from the steroid in the cream. To help with the redness and itching, you can try using a mild topical corticosteroid like hydrocortisone cream twice a day on the affected areas. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like cetirizine once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to keep your skin moisturized and avoid any harsh skincare products. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

Ive noticed a small bump near the start of my butt crack. It doesnt hurt, and I only felt it when I was scratching an itchy spot. The bump doesnt move, and theres no pain or discomfort with it. I dont see any redness around it either. Im not sure if its something that just appeared or if its been there for a while. Is this something I should be worried about?

This could be a benign skin condition such as a cyst or a skin tag. Without further examination, it is difficult to determine the exact cause. I recommend keeping the area clean and dry to prevent any potential irritation. If the bump persists or changes in any way, it would be best to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

Hi Doctor,My doctor prescribed the Hair Fact kit about 6 months ago, and Ive been using it since then. Im 18, and Im starting to get worried about taking the tablets. Could it have any health effects at my age? Does it block DHT, and is that a bad thing? Im feeling a bit scared and unsure about it.

Typically contains vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that are beneficial for hair growth. However, since you are only 18 years old, it is important to be cautious about taking any supplements without proper medical supervision. Hair Fact Kit may contain ingredients that help block DHT (dihydrotestosterone), which is a hormone that can contribute to hair loss. Blocking DHT can help prevent further hair loss and promote hair regrowth. In terms of potential health effects, it is important to follow the recommended dosage and not exceed the recommended intake. If you have any concerns about the effects of Hair Fact Kit on your health, I recommend discussing them with your doctor. They can provide personalized advice based on your medical history and current health status.

Hi Doctor, Ive had jock itch for about two weeks now, and Ive tried several things like creams and anti-dandruff shampoo. I read online that castor oil might help, so Ive been applying it before bed and washing it off in the morning. One day, I applied it after my bath and forgot to do it before bed. The oil dried up, and I noticed some black skin, which seemed dead, so I gently rubbed it off with my fingers. The rash seems smaller now. Does this mean that castor oil is just slow in showing results, or could it be something else?

Try using an antifungal cream like Lotrimin Ultra twice a day on the affected area to help clear up the infection faster. Remember to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation.

Hi Doctor,Ive been noticing something odd lately and I wanted to ask if theres any connection between dandruff and masturbation. It seems like every time I masturbate, I get a lot of dandruff in my hair, especially brown-colored flakes. When I dont, I notice less dandruff. I didnt have this issue before I started, and Im a bit worried. Could there be any link?

Dandruff in hair is usually caused by a fungal infection called Malassezia. Masturbation does not directly cause dandruff. However, stress and hormonal changes associated with sexual activity may contribute to dandruff flare-ups in some individuals. To address the dandruff issue, you can try using an anti-dandruff shampoo containing ketoconazole or selenium sulfide. Use the shampoo at least twice a week, leaving it on for 5-10 minutes before rinsing off. If the problem persists, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

Her eating habits arent the best, and her job requires a lot of travel, which makes things worse. Can you suggest some ways to help control the body heat and maybe reduce the pimples too?

To control body heat and reduce pimples caused by it, stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Consume cooling foods such as cucumber, watermelon, and mint. Avoid spicy and oily foods that can increase body heat. Practice stress-reducing activities like yoga or meditation to help manage the hectic travel schedule. Use a gentle cleanser and apply a topical acne treatment like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid for the pimples. For additional help, she can take Tab. AcneStar (Benzoyl Peroxide) 2.5% gel, apply a thin layer on the affected areas once daily in the evening after washing the face.

Lomela cream contains hydroquinone, mometasone, and tretinoin which are used to treat hyperpigmentation and acne. It is usually recommended to use this cream for a limited period of time, typically around 4-8 weeks, to see visible results. Once you have achieved the desired results, you can gradually reduce the frequency of application. It is important to follow up with a healthcare provider or dermatologist to determine the appropriate duration of treatment based on your individual response and skin condition.

Continue using Acnesol as prescribed by your doctor. Additionally, you can incorporate Persol Forte back into your skincare routine for better results. Apply Persol Forte once daily on the affected areas after washing your back thoroughly. Make sure to follow up with a non-comedogenic moisturizer to prevent dryness.

Could be a sign of a skin condition called milia. To improve your skin quality, you can try using a topical retinoid cream such as Retin-A (tretinoin) to help exfoliate the skin and prevent further buildup of dead skin cells. Additionally, using a gentle exfoliating scrub containing salicylic acid can help unclog pores and improve skin texture. Make sure to follow up with a non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated. Remember to start with a small amount of the products to avoid irritation, and gradually increase as tolerated.

Hi Doctor,Lately, I've noticed that my skin color is getting darker. I used to have fair skin, but it's changing, and I can't figure out why. I follow a good diet, spend most of my time indoors (so sunburn isnt the issue), and Ive recently started drinking around 6 glasses of water a day (used to drink less). I also eat warm foods a lot. What could be causing this?

You may be experiencing skin darkening due to various factors. One possible reason could be increased melanin production in response to sun exposure, even if you are indoors most of the time. Another reason could be hormonal changes or certain medications that can cause skin darkening. To address this issue, you can try using a topical cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid to lighten the skin. Additionally, you can consider taking Vitamin C supplements or using Vitamin C serums to help brighten your skin. Make sure to continue staying hydrated and maintaining a healthy diet. If the issue persists, I recommend consulting a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

Ive noticed that my hair seems to fall out more when I apply the oil. Could the oil be causing this? I dont think I have dandruff, so Im not sure what else it could be. Any suggestions?

Applying oil to the hair can sometimes lead to hair fall if not done properly or if the oil is not suitable for your scalp. Since you are already taking a healthy diet with eggs, almonds (badam), and dates, you may consider adding a biotin supplement to promote hair growth. Additionally, you can try using minoxidil solution on the scalp to help with hair regrowth. Make sure to consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

The dark spots and dark skin around them may be due to hyperpigmentation. You can use a cream containing hydroquinone and tretinoin to lighten the dark spots. Apply it once at night for a few weeks. For the stretch marks, you can use a cream containing retinoids and hyaluronic acid to improve their appearance. Remember to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin."

I recently noticed a small bump on my nose about 1/2 inch in size that just wont go away. I dont usually get acne, but my pores do tend to get clogged easily, and I sometimes get flesh-toned bumps. This one started out as a small bump, but it turned into a big, painful, red bump. Its not filled with pus, but there's blood and some clear fluid inside. Ive tried everything I can think of, but its not going away. Any idea what this could be and how I should treat it?

Sounds like you may be dealing with a stubborn cyst or abscess on your nose. In such cases, a topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin can help prevent infection and promote healing. You can apply it to the affected area twice a day. Additionally, warm compresses can help reduce inflammation and promote drainage. If the bump does not improve or if you develop fever or worsening pain, it's important to see a healthcare provider for further evaluation and possible drainage.

Im 37 weeks and 2 days pregnant and a few hours ago, I used a small cap full of undiluted Dettol antiseptic liquid on my hands and then washed them with body soap and water about 5 times to remove the smell. Im really worried is using undiluted Dettol on my hands harmful to my baby? Even after washing it off, could there still be any chemicals left on my hands that I might ingest and could affect my baby?

Using undiluted Dettol antiseptic liquid on your hands during pregnancy can be harmful as it contains strong chemicals that may be absorbed through the skin. Even after washing your hands multiple times with soap and water, there may still be residual chemicals left on your skin. To be on the safe side, it is important to avoid using undiluted Dettol during pregnancy. If you have any concerns about potential exposure to harmful chemicals, you can consult with your healthcare provider for further advice.

Ive had two PRP treatments for hair loss. After the first session, I had normal hair fall, but after the second, Im seeing a significant increase in hair shedding, which is really worrying me. Is this normal? I didnt have this much hair loss after the first session, and it even stopped after about 15 days. Im not using minoxidil or finasteride. Should I be concerned about this increased hair fall after the second treatment?

After undergoing PRP treatment, it is normal to experience some hair shedding as part of the hair growth cycle. However, experiencing a sudden increase in hair fall after the second sitting can be concerning. It is important to monitor this closely and discuss it with your healthcare provider. In the meantime, you can consider using a gentle hair care routine and incorporating a hair growth promoting shampoo containing minoxidil and finasteride. Additionally, you may benefit from using a supplement like biotin to support hair health. If the hair fall persists or worsens, it is advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

To help with the pimples, acne, and oily skin, you can try using a gentle cleanser containing salicylic acid to unclog pores and reduce oiliness.

Hello Doctor,Im considering YAG laser treatment for dark lips, but Ive heard that the results arent permanent. Is that the case for everyone? If I quit smoking (I only smoke once a month right now), stop licking my lips, and apply a lip balm with SPF, will the results last longer or even be permanent? Also, if there are any other permanent treatments available, could you please let me know? Looking forward to your advice. Best regards, Milnd

YAG laser treatment for dark lips can provide long-lasting results, but they may not be permanent for all cases. Quitting smoking, avoiding lip licking, and regularly applying lip balm with SPF can help maintain the results for a longer period. Additionally, you can consider permanent treatments like Q-switched Nd:YAG laser therapy or chemical peels for dark lips. These treatments can offer more permanent results compared to YAG laser treatment.

Hi Doctor, Yesterday morning I woke up with red rashes on my legs, arms, and back. Im not sure if its from something I ate or if its from something else. After lunch, I noticed more rashes appeared, but they went away after some time. In the morning, I also experienced a lot of itching, and when I scratched the rashes, they started to spread. Could this be an allergic reaction or something else? What should I do about it?

You may be experiencing an allergic reaction. To help alleviate the itching and rash, you can take an antihistamine. Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion to the affected areas to help reduce the itching and inflammation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

Hi Doctor,Ive heard that using coconut oil under the foreskin can help keep it clean and prevent smegma buildup. Is it safe to do this, or should I avoid it? If coconut oil isnt a good option, are there any other products or methods youd recommend for keeping the area clean and healthy?

Using coconut oil under the foreskin can actually lead to a buildup of smegma and increase the risk of infections. A better substitute for keeping the area clean is to use a mild, unscented soap and warm water during daily hygiene routines. Additionally, applying a thin layer of over-the-counter antifungal cream like Clotrimazole cream twice a day can help prevent smegma buildup and maintain proper hygiene.

Im using benzoyl peroxide 2.5% for my acne, and Im thinking about adding a glycolic acid cream. How does glycolic acid work on acne-prone skin thats already being treated with benzoyl peroxide? Also, whats the best way to use it on sensitive skin without causing irritation?

Glycolic acid cream works by exfoliating the skin, unclogging pores, and promoting skin cell turnover, which can help improve acne. When used in conjunction with benzoyl peroxide 2.5%, it can enhance the effectiveness of the treatment by further exfoliating the skin and reducing inflammation. For sensitive skin, it is important to start with a lower concentration of glycolic acid (around 5-8%) and gradually increase the frequency of use as tolerated. It is recommended to apply a small amount of glycolic acid cream to clean, dry skin once every other day initially, and then increase to daily use if there is no irritation. Always follow up with a moisturizer and use a sunscreen during the day when using glycolic acid, as it can increase sun sensitivity.

It is important to follow your healthcare provider's recommendations regarding the duration of treatment with Androanagen to maintain the benefits you have observed.

Hi, my 8-year-old nephew has been dealing with white spots on his feet for about a year and a half. They started on his feet, then spread to his knees and now all over his body. Weve been following treatment from a skin doctor, but Im really worried. Is there any chance this condition will be fully cured, or should we just accept that it might be something he deals with long-term?

Vitiligo is a chronic skin condition where white patches develop on the skin due to a lack of melanin. While there is no definitive cure for vitiligo, treatment options are available to help manage the condition and improve the appearance of the skin. One common treatment is the use of topical corticosteroids, such as Clobetasol cream, applied to the affected areas to help repigment the skin. Another option is phototherapy, which involves exposing the skin to UV light to stimulate melanin production. In more severe cases, oral medications like Methoxsalen may be prescribed to help repigment the skin.

You can apply an antibiotic ointment like Silverex cream twice a day to prevent infection. Additionally, you can use a scar removal gel like Contractubex to help reduce the appearance of the dark mark. It usually takes about 1-2 weeks for minor burns to heal, but the dark mark may take longer to fade. Make sure to protect the area from sun exposure to prevent further darkening of the mark.

Ive been using Tenovate GN and Brite cream on my face for about 4 years now. Every time I stop using them, my skin starts to get darker and I get pimples. Im worried about whats happening. Should I continue using them, or is there something else I can do?

Long-term use of topical steroids like Tenovate GN can lead to skin thinning, discoloration, and acne breakouts when discontinued abruptly. Brite cream is a combination of multiple ingredients that help with skin brightening. To address the darkening and pimples upon discontinuation, you can gradually taper off the use of Tenovate GN to prevent rebound effects. You can switch to a milder steroid cream like Hydrocortisone for a short period to help with the transition. For skin brightening, you can consider using products containing ingredients like Vitamin C, niacinamide, or kojic acid.

However, Ive read a lot about the potential dangers of Finax, especially since finasteride is banned in several countries. Im really concerned about continuing with this medication.

Also, Ive been taking good quality lean whey protein for the past 4-5 months (no steroids) as Im a regular gym-goer. Could this affect my treatment? Would love your detailed advice.

Finax, which contains Finasteride, is commonly used for male pattern alopecia but can have potential side effects. However, it is important to note that the decision to continue or discontinue a medication should be made in consultation with your healthcare provider. In the case of male pattern alopecia, the medications suggested by your dermatologist are commonly used to help with hair loss. Qilib spray, Androanagen Tablet, Minoxidil 10%, and Finax 1 mg are all aimed at addressing this issue. If you have reservations about Finax, you can discuss alternative treatment options with your dermatologist. They may be able to suggest other medications or therapies that could be effective for you.

Its really annoying and seems to happen regularly. Do you have any idea what could be causing this? Could it be related to the products Im using or something else?

Itching in the feet and palms of the hands, especially at night, can be due to a condition called eczema. I recommend using a topical corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream on the affected areas before bedtime. Additionally, taking an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg at night can help alleviate the itching. Make sure to continue moisturizing regularly and avoid any potential triggers that may worsen the itching.

It seems like you have been experiencing a recurrent fungal infection on your thighs.

Apply a thin layer of Lotriderm cream on the affected area twice a day for 2 weeks. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I have dark patches on my inner thighs that have been there for months and dont seem to go away. Along with that, Ive been feeling an ongoing urge to eat all the time and a general sense of tiredness. Im not sure if these things are connected, but Im worried and would like to know what could be causing this and if I should take any specific steps to address it.

The dark patches on your inner thighs could be a sign of a condition called acanthosis nigricans, which is often associated with insulin resistance. To address this, I recommend using a topical cream containing hydroquinone and tretinoin, such as Tri-Luma cream, to lighten the dark patches. Additionally, managing your insulin levels through lifestyle changes and medications like metformin can help improve the condition. For the increased appetite and tiredness, it is important to address the underlying cause, which may involve further evaluation and treatment.

Treatment may include corticosteroid injections, silicone gel sheets, cryotherapy, laser therapy, or surgical removal. However, it's important to note that keloids may recur even after treatment, so there is no guaranteed permanent solution. It is best to consult with a dermatologist to discuss the most suitable treatment option for your specific case.

Im 19 years old and Ive been using Halo shampoo daily for a while now. I just wanted to check if using it every day could cause any side effects. Is it safe to use it daily, or should I be concerned?

Using Halo shampoo on a daily basis should generally be safe for most people. However, frequent use of any shampoo can potentially lead to dryness or irritation of the scalp and hair. It is recommended to use a mild shampoo and to consider incorporating a conditioner to prevent dryness and maintain the health of your hair. If you experience any scalp irritation or other unusual symptoms, you may consider reducing the frequency of shampooing or trying a different product.

Ive been diagnosed with HSV2 after testing positive, and I have active lesions on my penis. My doctor prescribed Acivir 400 mg to be taken three times a day for 7 days to help control the virus and reduce the lesions. But Im unsure how to take the tabletsshould I swallow them directly with water, or should I dissolve them in water first? I cant get in touch with the doctor who prescribed it, so Im hoping someone can help clarify this.

You should take the tablet orally with a full glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet before swallowing. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and duration of treatment to effectively counter the virus and decrease the lesions.

Ive been dealing with dandruff for a while, and I was prescribed Topisal 6%, but it wasnt available at the store, so they gave me Propysalic NF instead. Is Propysalic NF just as effective as Topisal 6%, or should I look for something else?

Propysalic NF contains clobetasol propionate and salicylic acid, which are effective in treating dandruff. However, it may have a different potency compared to Topisal 6%, which contains clobetasol propionate only. Propysalic NF can be effective in treating dandruff, but if you are not seeing the desired results, you may consider switching back to Topisal 6% for better control of your dandruff. Follow the prescribed dosage and application instructions for optimal results.

Ive got a fungal skin condition on my butt crack and have been using Terbinafine cream, but Im not sure if its enough. Should I be taking any tablets along with the cream? Is there a better ointment I can try, or any other advice to help get rid of it faster?

For fungal skin conditions like the one you have described, in addition to terbinafine cream, you can also apply clotrimazole cream twice a day to the affected area. It is important to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further fungal growth. As for oral tablets, you can consider taking fluconazole 150mg once a week for 2-4 weeks, but it is best to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any oral antifungal medication. Make sure to wear loose-fitting cotton underwear and avoid tight clothing to promote air circulation.

Im 26 and have been prescribed Tretiva 10 mg by my dermatologist to treat a scalp infection with small pus-filled pimples. He advised me to take one tablet a day for 30 days. But after reading the side effects like psychiatric issues, pancreatitis, and pseudotumor cerebri in the leaflet, Im a bit worried, especially since the dose seems low. Should I continue or stop the medicine? Im also concerned about any potential effects on my brain or thinking since Im still a student. I didnt get a blood test before starting the treatmentshould I?

Tretiva 10 mg is a brand name for isotretinoin, which is commonly used to treat severe acne and some cases of scalp infection. While it is important to be aware of the potential side effects listed in the patient information leaflet, it is also important to consider the benefits of the medication in treating your scalp infection. In your case, since the dermatologist has prescribed a low dose of 1 tretiva 10 mg/day for 30 days, the risk of experiencing severe side effects such as psychiatric disorders, pancreatitis, or pseudotumor cerebri is relatively low. These side effects are more commonly associated with higher doses and long-term use of isotretinoin. As a student, it is crucial to prioritize your health and well-being.

How do I apply Diprovate Plus steroidal lotion to my scalp for dandruff? Can I apply it directly to my hair like regular hair oil or should I apply it differently?

Diprovate Plus lotion is a topical corticosteroid used to treat various skin conditions, including dandruff. To apply it to the scalp for dandruff, you should part your hair and apply a small amount of the lotion directly onto the affected areas of the scalp. Gently massage it into the scalp using your fingertips. It is important to avoid applying it to the hair shafts like regular hair oil, as it is specifically meant for the scalp. Use it as directed by your healthcare provider, usually once or twice daily.

Ive been dealing with dry and cracked skin on my right palm for a while now, but it doesnt hurt. The weird part is that its only on my right hand, the left one is fine. Do you think this could be something serious or just a dry skin issue? What can I do to fix it?

May be due to a variety of reasons such as excessive hand washing, exposure to harsh chemicals, or environmental factors. I recommend using a moisturizing cream containing urea and lactic acid, such as Eucerin Advanced Repair Hand Cream, twice a day on the affected hand. Additionally, wearing gloves while doing household chores or using hand sanitizers can help protect the skin.

I've been dealing with warts on my beard area for the past 3 years. I tried homeopathy but didnt see any results. I also went for laser treatment, but new warts keep appearing about 10 days after. Can you suggest a more permanent solution for getting rid of these warts?

Warts can be stubborn to treat, but there are effective options available. One common treatment for warts is Salicylic acid, which is available in the form of Mediplast pads. You can apply these pads directly on the warts daily. Another effective option is Cryotherapy, which involves freezing the warts off with liquid nitrogen. Your doctor can use Veregen cream, which contains green tea extract, to treat the warts. Additionally, Imiquimod cream can also be used to boost the immune response against the warts. It's important to follow the prescribed dosage and application instructions for these treatments.

Im a 36-year-old male and Ive been dealing with acne only on the left side of my face for quite a while now. The pimples are large, dry, and red, and while they dont ooze any liquid, they do hurt when pressed. They never completely go away and keep coming back, taking a long time to heal. I keep good hygiene, wash my face regularly with a mild face wash, and avoid using creams or moisturizers. I also have a desk job, so Im not exposed to the sun or pollutants. Ive been using Surfaz SN cream, which worked for a while, but now it doesnt seem to help. Can you recommend something to help clear this up?

Seems like you are dealing with persistent acne on the left side of your face. Since Surfaz SN cream is no longer effective, I recommend trying a combination treatment. You can use a combination of Clindamycin gel in the morning and Adapalene gel at night. Apply a thin layer of Clindamycin gel in the morning after washing your face, and then apply Adapalene gel at night before bedtime. Make sure to use a sunscreen during the day as these medications can increase sensitivity to the sun. Additionally, continue with your good hygiene practices and consider incorporating a gentle moisturizer into your routine to prevent dryness. If the acne persists, consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

Hi, I have a yellow-centered bruise on my left leg. It started with some itching and swelling, but now it's more yellow in the middle. I didn't injure myself or get hurt, but I think I might have been bitten by an insect since there are no visible bite or puncture marks. It hurts when I apply pressure to the area. I'm concerned it might be an infection. What do you think this could be?

You may have a bruise with some inflammation and possible infection. To help with the pain and inflammation, you can take ibuprofen 400mg every 6 hours as needed. Additionally, you can apply a topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin on the affected area twice a day. Make sure to keep the area clean and avoid scratching it. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been using Melamet cream for about a year and two months, and I noticed good results. However, after reading some reviews, Ive heard it might be bad for the skin. I also came across information that 2% hydroquinone doesnt cause any harm. I stopped using the Melamet cream 10 days ago but havent seen any changes on my face. I have two questions: Is there a chance my skin will turn dark again, and if so, how can I maintain the fairness I achieved? Could you please guide me on this?

Melamet cream contains a combination of three active ingredients: Tretinoin, Hydroquinone, and Mometasone. Prolonged use of this cream can have side effects and may not be suitable for long-term use. Hydroquinone 2% is a safer alternative for skin lightening. To maintain the fairness on your face and prevent it from turning black again, you can consider using a sunscreen with a high SPF daily, along with a gentle cleanser and moisturizer suitable for your skin type. Additionally, you can use a skin lightening cream containing Hydroquinone 2% under the guidance of a dermatologist to help maintain the fairness of your skin.

Hi, Ive been dealing with folliculitis on my scalp for almost 4 years now. It started as mild bumps, and I've seen a lot of dermatologists over the years. Theyve all prescribed different antibiotics, and Ive been using Betadine AD shampoo. As long as Im on antibiotics, my scalp clears up, but once I stop, the blisters and pus return within 20 days. A dermatologist recently suggested I get weekly vitamin injections to boost my immune system since I've been on antibiotics for so long, and for about two months, it seemed to help, and my scalp stayed clear. However, in the last few days, the blisters have flared up again and are very painful. A pus culture was done, but it came back negative for any bacterial growth. Im not sure what to do next, and the doctors Ive seen say weve tried everything. Im open to any further tests or treatments you might suggest. Would love any advice or help you can provide.

Since you have already tried different antibiotics and Betadine AD shampoo without long-term success, and the pus culture came back negative for bacterial growth, it may be worth considering other treatment options. One possible approach could be to try a combination therapy of oral antibiotics along with a topical antibiotic ointment.

Ive had a lump for about a year now that developed suddenly. At first, it wasnt painful, just there, and I thought it might be a wart or something similar, so I didnt pay much attention to it. But recently, Ive started feeling pain when I press around it. I have a desk job, so Im wondering if it could be related to that, or if its something else. Its not like a boil, just feels like a skin growth. Im a bit concerned and would appreciate your thoughts.

It is important to have this lump evaluated by a healthcare professional to determine the exact cause. The sudden development of a painless lump that has now become painful could indicate various possibilities, including an abscess, cyst, lipoma, or even a more serious condition like a tumor. It is unlikely to be directly related to your desk job unless there is a specific injury or pressure point causing the issue.

Ive gained about 2-3 kgs recently, but Im not sure if thats related. Im really worried about it and would appreciate any advice on what I can do.

Stretch marks can occur when the skin is stretched rapidly due to factors such as weight gain. To help improve the appearance of the red lines on your inner thighs, you can try using a topical cream containing Tretinoin. Apply a thin layer of Tretinoin cream on the affected areas once daily at night. Additionally, you can also use a moisturizer containing Hyaluronic Acid to keep the skin hydrated. It is important to note that while these treatments may help improve the appearance of stretch marks, they may not completely eliminate them.

Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry is important.

Can I use Melacare cream for skin lightening on my face? Also, does Melacare have any risk of causing skin cancer? Please let me know.

Melacare cream is a combination medication containing Hydroquinone, Tretinoin, and Mometasone. It is commonly used to lighten dark patches of skin. However, prolonged and indiscriminate use of hydroquinone can lead to side effects such as skin irritation, redness, and thinning of the skin. Tretinoin can also cause skin irritation and sensitivity to sunlight. Mometasone, if used for a long time, can lead to skin thinning and increased risk of infections. Regarding the risk of skin cancer, there is no direct evidence linking the use of Melacare cream to skin cancer. However, it is important to use this medication under the guidance of a healthcare professional and to follow the recommended dosage and duration of treatment to minimize the risk of side effects.

Can you help me with getting rid of my stretch marks? Ive been working out at the gym for 2 years now and recently started noticing red stretch marks appearing. Im not sure what to do to get rid of them or how to prevent more from showing up. Let me know what steps I can take.

To reduce the redness and visibility of your stretch marks, you can try using a topical cream containing ingredients like retinol, hyaluronic acid, or vitamin C. One option is to use a cream like Mederma Stretch Marks Therapy, applying it to the affected areas twice a day. In addition to topical treatments, maintaining a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals, staying hydrated, and moisturizing your skin regularly can also help improve the appearance of stretch marks. It's important to keep your skin well-hydrated to promote healing and elasticity. To prevent future stretch marks, you can also consider incorporating foods rich in collagen and antioxidants into your diet, such as fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. Staying hydrated and maintaining a consistent exercise routine can also help keep your skin healthy and less prone to developing stretch marks. Remember, results may vary for each individual, and it's important to be patient as it can take time to see improvements in the appearance of your stretch marks.

Ive been dealing with full body irritation and itching and Im not sure what to do about it. I stopped taking ecosprin, but the problem is still there. Can you suggest something to help with this?

Can be due to various reasons. Since you have mentioned that you stopped taking Ecosprin, it could be a possible cause of your symptoms. To help relieve the itching and irritation, you can try taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine (10mg) once daily. Additionally, applying a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion on the affected areas can also provide relief. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid scratching the itchy areas to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I have a boil in my groin area near the scrotum on the left thigh thats been there for 5-6 days. Two days ago, it developed a red, soft center about 0.3x0.3 cm, surrounded by a hard, indurated area measuring 4x2 cm. It started hurting two days ago, so I saw a surgeon who prescribed cefixime, diclofenac, and Su-Mag ointment with dressing. After applying a lot of Su-Mag and dressing it well, the pain went away by the end of the day, but now the boil has an opening. Should I continue with the Su-Mag dressing, stop it since the boil is open, switch to Betadine dressing, or go back to the surgeon for further drainage? What would you suggest?

You should now switch to Betadine dressing to help prevent infection and promote healing of the open wound. Betadine is an antiseptic solution that can be applied to the affected area. Make sure to clean the area gently before applying the Betadine dressing. If you experience any worsening symptoms or signs of infection, it would be advisable to consult the surgeon again for further evaluation and management.

I was prescribed Deriva BPO gel for my moderate acne, but after using it, my skin got really irritated. I know the irritation might settle down after a few weeks, but I also noticed a dark line around one side of my lip. Its not going away, and Im worried if this could be a permanent dark patch or if itll fade on its own. What should I do?

It's likely a side effect of the deriva bpo gel known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which can occur as a result of skin irritation or inflammation. In most cases, this dark patch should fade over time once you stop using the gel. To help speed up the process, you can try using a topical skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid.

Ive noticed Ive lost some hair and was wondering if its possible to regrow it using Indulekha oil or any other hair oil. Can you let me know if that would work or if theres something else I should try?

While using oils like Indulekha can help nourish the scalp and hair, it may not be sufficient to regrow lost hair. For hair regrowth, you may consider using minoxidil solution, which is available under brand names like Rogaine. You can apply 1 ml of minoxidil solution twice daily on the scalp to promote hair regrowth. Additionally, it is important to maintain a healthy diet, manage stress, and avoid harsh hair treatments to support hair regrowth.

Ive been dealing with dry, scaly skin on my knuckles that wont go away, even after using moisturizer regularly. I dont have access to a good dermatologist in my area, so Im looking for a solution. If you can recommend any creams, it would be helpful if you could mention the brand names, especially those that are easily available in smaller places.

You may be dealing with a condition like eczema or psoriasis. In this case, I recommend trying a cream containing 1% hydrocortisone, such as Cortizone-10. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for up to 2 weeks. Additionally, you can use a moisturizer like Cetaphil Restoraderm Skin Restoring Body Moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated.

I have a balding problem and flaky dandruff. I was advised to use Nizral 2% shampoo, but Ive heard it shouldnt be used directly and needs to be mixed with another shampoo. Can anyone tell me the best way to use it and how often I should apply it each week?

Nizral 2% shampoo is an antifungal medication used to treat dandruff and certain types of fungal infections on the skin. To use it effectively, you should follow these steps: Wet your hair thoroughly. Apply a small amount of Nizral 2% shampoo to your scalp and massage it in gently to create a lather. Leave the shampoo on your scalp for 3-5 minutes to allow it to work effectively. Rinse your hair thoroughly with water. You can use Nizral 2% shampoo 2-3 times a week for best results, or as directed by your healthcare provider. It is generally safe to use Nizral 2% shampoo on its own without mixing it with another shampoo. Remember to avoid getting the shampoo in your eyes, nose, or mouth. If you experience any irritation or unusual side effects, discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider.

Ive been dealing with a rash that started on my panty line and under my bust. I used a skin cream recommended by my doctor, and the rash went away but keeps coming back.

Hi, my doctor recommended using Aziderm cream for black spots on my face. Ive been applying it as instructed, but after a few minutes, I start feeling a burning sensation. Is this normal, or could something be wrong with the cream? What can I do to get rid of the black spots without causing irritation?

The burning sensation you are experiencing after applying aziderm cream is a common side effect, especially if you have sensitive skin. It may be due to the active ingredient in the cream, which is azelaic acid. If the burning sensation is severe or persistent, you should discontinue the use of the cream and consult your doctor. To remove black spots on your face, you can consider using a different cream containing ingredients like hydroquinone, kojic acid, or retinoids.

Hi, Ive been dealing with severe itching in the butt crack area. I live in Mumbai, so the humid weather makes me sweat a lot in that region.

My doctor prescribed Deriva CMS gel for my cystic acne, but my wedding is in two weeks, and Im worried about the initial breakout that some people experience with this gel. Should I use it now, or wait until after the wedding?

It is common for acne medications like Deriva CMS gel to cause an initial flare-up of acne before improvement is seen. This is due to the medication bringing underlying acne to the surface. However, it is important to continue using the gel as prescribed by your doctor for best results. To manage any potential flare-ups before your marriage, you can consider starting the gel at a lower frequency (e.g. every other day) and gradually increasing to daily use as your skin adjusts. Additionally, you can use a gentle moisturizer to help reduce any dryness or irritation that may occur. Overall, it is safe to continue using Deriva CMS gel as prescribed by your doctor. Remember to follow your doctor's instructions for the best outcome.

Ive heard about using onion juice for hair growth. Is there any medical evidence to support it? If yes, how should I apply it and in what form? Ive been losing hair from my crown and receding hairline, and Ive tried minoxidil and multivitamins with little success.

There is some evidence to suggest that onion juice may help enhance hair growth due to its sulfur content which may improve blood circulation to the hair follicles. You can apply onion juice directly to your scalp, leave it on for about 30 minutes, and then wash it off with a mild shampoo. You can do this 1-2 times a week. However, please note that individual results may vary and it may take some time to see any noticeable effects. You can also consider using a hair growth shampoo containing minoxidil.

For the past 5-6 days, I've noticed that the skin on my scrotum (the testicle sack) has become dry and scaly. When I clean it while bathing, a thin, scaly layer comes off. I've never had this problem before, and I always keep good hygiene, so I'm not sure why this is happening. Today, it started itching, and when I gently rubbed it, I felt a burning sensation, kind of like a paper cut. After cleaning it, the skin became red. I've tried applying a few creams like Itch Guard, Dermigo5, and Luliconazole, but nothing seems to be helping. I was a bit shy to see a doctor, so I just got these from the pharmacy. Can you tell me what might be going on and if I should be worried? Also, should I see a dermatologist or a sexologist?

You may be experiencing a fungal infection in the skin of your scrotum. The burning sensation, dryness, scaliness, and redness are common symptoms of such an infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice daily for 2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

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?

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.

Ive been using a procapil-based solution for the last two months, but Im not seeing any improvement in my hair fall. Should I stop using it? Also, does discontinuing the solution cause more hair fall? Please advise.

Procapil is a combination of biotinoyl tripeptide-1, apigenin, and oleanolic acid, commonly found in hair growth products. If you have not seen any improvement in hair fall after 2 months of use, it may be appropriate to discontinue it. Discontinuing procapil solution is not known to cause an increase in hair fall.

The recommended dosage for minoxidil solution is typically 1 milliliter applied to the scalp twice daily.

I've been noticing that I keep getting pimples on my face right after having sex. Its like they pop up immediately after. When I avoid sex, my skin clears up and the pimples dont appear. Im really stressed about this because of the marks it leaves on my face, and Im starting to fear having sex because of it. Can you tell me whats going on and how I can stop this from happening?

This could be due to hormonal changes or increased sweating during sexual activity leading to clogged pores. I recommend using a topical acne medication containing Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid. Additionally, you can use a gentle cleanser like "Cetaphil" twice a day to keep your face clean. Make sure to also drink plenty of water and maintain a healthy diet to support skin health.

Ive noticed a bump on my mons pubis thats been there for about 6 months now. Sometimes it swells up and becomes painful, especially during my periods, but other times it doesnt hurt and feels like a small ball under the skin. Ive tried hot compressions as suggested by a gynecologist, which helped reduce the swelling, but it hasnt gone away. Do you think this could be something serious, and is there any other treatment I should try?

Your complain should be addressed to a Dermatologist. You may have a Bartholin's cyst. You may need to take antibiotics. Additionally, you can use a sitz bath with warm water a few times a day to help with the discomfort. If the cyst persists, you may need a procedure called marsupialization to drain it.

Could be a condition called Tinea Versicolor. This is a fungal infection of the skin that can cause discolored patches.

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.

Ive been using Tugain 10 on my scalp, and Ive noticed I sweat a lot from my hair, especially after exercising. Is this normal, or should I be concerned? Also, how long should I stay awake after applying it, and when can I wear a helmet afterward?

This is a common side effect of the medication. You can continue to use Tugain 10 despite sweating from the scalp. You should wait for at least 4 hours after applying Tugain 10 before going to bed to ensure the medication is fully absorbed into the scalp. As for using a helmet, it is recommended to wait for at least 2 hours after applying Tugain 10 before wearing a helmet to prevent interference with the absorption of the medication.

Im wondering if it really works for hair loss and if it can actually help in getting back the hair thats been lost. Is it something worth trying for hair restoration?

Hijama therapy, also known as wet cupping, involves creating suction on the skin to promote blood flow. It is commonly used for various health conditions, including treating hair loss. Hair loss can be caused by various factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, and medical conditions. For hair loss treatment, it is recommended to consult a dermatologist or a trichologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I had a corn on my left foot and went through surgery to remove it. The skin was healing slowly, and then another corn developed, so I used a corn cap for about three weeks, and it went away. The skin where I had the surgery is formed, but it feels a little hard now. It wasn't painful before, but lately, its been causing some pain. What should I do now? Should I use the corn cap again?

It sounds like the hard skin on your foot may be due to the formation of another corn. In this case, using a corn cap may not be the best option since it is already causing you pain. I recommend using a salicylic acid-based corn remover solution. Apply it directly to the affected area following the instructions on the package. Additionally, you can use a cushioning pad or insole to relieve pressure on the area and prevent further corn formation. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with your doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been dealing with allergic eruptions since I was a kid, and after my latest diagnosis, I found out I have both Psoriasis and eczema. The flare-ups happen around my joints, like my ankles, elbows, or knees. My Ige levels are around 1700, and I'm trying to figure out how to lower them.I take Allegra 120 and Montair LC regularly, which give me some relief, but nothing seems to fully cure it. I've tried both homeopathy and allopathy, but nothing has worked so far. I'm really struggling with this and need some guidance. Can you help me out?

For the management of Psoriasis and eczema with allergic eruptions, in addition to your current antihistamines, I recommend adding a topical corticosteroid cream like Betnovate to reduce inflammation and itching. Apply a thin layer to the affected areas once or twice daily. Also, you can use a moisturizer like Cetaphil to keep the skin hydrated. Furthermore, you can consider taking an immunosuppressant medication like Methotrexate under the guidance of a dermatologist to help control the autoimmune response causing Psoriasis. This should be taken once a week in a prescribed dosage. It's important to continue with regular follow-ups with your dermatologist to monitor your condition and adjust the treatment plan as needed.

Ive been taking medicine prescribed by my doctor, and it works while Im on it, but as soon as I stop, the infection comes back and starts spreading again. Im really frustrated and would appreciate some advice on what to do next.

Indicates a recurring fungal infection. To treat this effectively, I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (brand name Lotrimin) twice daily for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole (brand name Diflucan) may be prescribed by your doctor for systemic treatment. It is important to maintain good hygiene, wear loose cotton underwear, and avoid tight clothing to prevent further spread of the infection.

Im trying to figure out which gel would be better for my acne Clindamycin phosphate gel or Nicotinamide phosphate gel? I have common acne (not the pus-filled type) and Im not sure which one would work best for me. Can you help me decide?

Both 'clindamycin phosphate gel' and 'nicotinamide phosphate gel' are commonly used for acne treatment. For common acne without pus, 'nicotinamide phosphate gel' would be a better choice. You can apply a thin layer of 'nicotinamide phosphate gel' on the affected area once daily. Remember to cleanse the skin before applying the gel for better absorption and effectiveness.

Ive been dealing with lichen planus and noticed that the spots go away with treatment but seem to come back after a while. Is there a permanent cure for this or the best treatment to prevent them from regrowing?

Lichen planus spots can be treated with topical corticosteroids such as Clobetasol cream applied twice daily for several weeks. In more severe cases, oral corticosteroids like Prednisone may be prescribed for a short period. For long-term management and prevention of regrowth, topical immunomodulators like Tacrolimus ointment can be used. Additionally, antihistamines like Loratadine can help with itching. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor the condition and adjust treatment as needed.

I consulted a doctor recently, and they suggested using Mela Clear cream. Is it safe to use, or could it cause any side effects down the line? Would love to know if I should be cautious.

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.

How effective is Finpecia for hair loss? If I use it consistently for life, can I expect to regrow all my hair? Also, is Finpecia better than Finax for treating hair loss?

Finpecia is a brand name for finasteride, which is commonly used to treat male pattern baldness. It is effective in slowing down hair loss and promoting hair regrowth in some individuals. However, it may not fully restore all lost hair. Consistent and long-term use of finpecia can help maintain the existing hair and prevent further hair loss. Both finpecia and finax contain the same active ingredient, finasteride. Therefore, they are equally effective in treating hair loss. The choice between finpecia and finax can depend on individual preferences and tolerability. It is important to follow the recommended dosage as prescribed by your healthcare provider for optimal results.

Im looking to improve my skin tone and came across two options: Glutone 1000 and Glutone C. Could you help me understand the difference between the two and which one is more effective for skin whitening?

Glutone 1000 contains L-Glutathione which is a powerful antioxidant that helps in skin lightening and anti-aging. It is recommended for overall skin health and whitening. The usual dosage is 1 tablet daily. Glutone C, on the other hand, contains L-Glutathione along with Vitamin C. Vitamin C helps in enhancing the absorption of Glutathione in the body, leading to better results in skin whitening and brightening. The usual dosage is 1 tablet daily. If you are looking for a more potent formula with added benefits for skin health, Glutone C would be the better choice.

I've been using Benzac 5% for acne, but it's quite expensive and only lasts about two weeks. I recently heard about Pernex AC, which is much cheaper. Can I switch to Pernex AC instead of Benzac, or is there any reason I should stick to Benzac?

Benzac AC is a topical gel that works by reducing acne-causing bacteria and removing dead skin cells. Pernex AC, on the other hand, is a combination of antibiotics that work by killing bacteria on the skin. It is not recommended to replace Benzac AC with Pernex AC without consulting your healthcare provider.

I'm treating a boil just below my waistline at home with warm compresses three times a day. It popped yesterday, and when I removed the bandage this morning, I noticed a white scab along with some blood. Is it normal for the scab to be white, or could it be because of the moisture?

Yes, it is normal for the scab to appear white, especially after it has been covered with a bandage and exposed to moisture from the warm compress. The white color is due to the accumulation of pus and dead white blood cells at the site of the boil. To help with the healing process, you can continue applying warm compresses to the area and keep it clean. Additionally, you may consider using an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection.

I've had ringworm for about 4 years, and nothing seemed to work until someone suggested using Derobin ointment. It cleared up the ringworm on my hand, so I decided to apply it to my neck and throat area too. However, now the condition seems worse. The skin has peeled off and doesn't seem to be healing. What should I do?

It sounds like you may have developed a reaction to the derobin ointment when applied to your neck and throat. I recommend stopping the ointment immediately and washing the affected areas with mild soap and water. You can apply a soothing and healing ointment like Silverex cream to help with the healing process. Additionally, taking an antihistamine like Cetirizine can help with any itching or discomfort. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

Hi, Im 31 years old and married. A few weeks ago, I started experiencing itching around my penis, scrotum, and thighs. The skin became darker, dry, and I developed white patches after I couldnt stop scratching. To relieve the itching, I started using Candid-B regularly for a few days, and it helped a bit, so I used it on alternate days for some time. Last week, I noticed a bump on the foreskin of my penis, which went away after I applied Candid-B for a day. Ive been using the cream around my genitals and thighs about 3 times a week.Now, my foreskin is very dry and slightly inflamed, and it looks thin. This started a day after I had sex with my wife. I stopped using Candid-B and started applying coconut oil twice a day, as well as Vico turmeric, but it hasn't improved. Im also diabetic. Can you help me with what to do next?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection in the genital area, which is common in individuals with diabetes. I recommend you stop using candid-b cream as it may be contributing to the thinning of the skin. Instead, you can try an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day for 2 weeks. Additionally, keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting underwear made of cotton, and avoid any irritants like scented soaps or lotions. Since you are diabetic, it's important to keep your blood sugar levels under control as high blood sugar can contribute to fungal infections. Make sure to monitor your blood sugar regularly and follow your diabetic management plan.

Ive noticed that the skin on my waist and knees is darker than the rest of my body, and it's been bothering me. I'm naturally fair, but those areas are noticeably darker. Is there any way to even out the complexion and get it to match the rest of my skin tone?

The darker skin in the waist and knee regions could be due to a condition called acanthosis nigricans, which is often associated with insulin resistance or obesity. To help improve the complexion in these areas, you can try using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, which can help lighten the skin. You can apply a cream like Melalite cream or Skinlite cream once daily in the affected areas. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF daily can also help prevent further darkening of the skin. Remember to consult a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

A few days ago, I started feeling some itching on the head of my penis, and now the skin is peeling off.

Since yesterday, theres been a white sticky discharge, and more skin is peeling off. Ive also noticed that the left tip of my lips is showing a similar condition.

You may be experiencing a fungal infection. I would recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected areas twice a day for about 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a day for 7 days.

Around 1 pm today, I suddenly started experiencing severe itching all over my body and head. Some areas became swollen and reddish, and my fingers also swelled up. Just two hours before this happened, I took MOX 500 and a painkiller after getting a tooth extraction done. Could MOX be the cause of this reaction?

Allergic reactions to antibiotics like Amoxicillin can manifest as itching, swelling, and redness on the skin, as well as swelling of the fingers. It is important to stop taking MOX 500 and the painkiller immediately and seek medical attention. For the itching and swelling, you can take an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10mg once daily. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I have some blade cut marks on my arm and want to know how I can get rid of them. If plastic surgery is the only option, can you tell me how much this treatment might cost approximately?

To get rid of blade cut marks on your arm, you can consider using topical silicone gel sheets such as Strataderm. Apply a thin layer over the scar twice daily for at least 60-90 days for best results. Additionally, you can use Mederma cream which contains onion extract and allantoin to help improve the appearance of scars. It is important to apply these products consistently for several months to see noticeable improvement. If the scars are deep and extensive, you may consider consulting a dermatologist for other treatment options such as laser therapy or steroid injections. However, the cost of plastic surgery or other treatments can vary depending on the severity of the scars, the type of procedure needed, and the location of the clinic.

My wife has stretch marks on her inner thighs, and a dermatologist recommended using Stretchrid cream. She took the unwanted 72 contraceptive pill in September 2019 and has gained a little weight recently, which might have contributed to the stretch marks. After using Stretchrid cream, there's been only slight improvement. Can you suggest the right medication or treatment to help with this?

Retinoids can help improve the appearance of stretch marks by promoting collagen production and increasing skin cell turnover. She can try using Retino-A cream 0.05% once daily at night on the affected areas. In addition to topical treatments, she can also consider taking Vitamin E supplements to support skin health and elasticity. I recommend taking Evion 400mg capsule once daily after a meal. It's important to continue using these medications consistently and be patient, as it may take some time to see significant improvement in the appearance of the stretch marks.

I've been dealing with hair fall for about a year now and I'm considering taking Biotin 5mg tablets for my hair, skin, and nails. Is it safe to take them long-term? Also, I'm thinking about using Follihair. Are there any side effects from taking Follihair and Biotin 5mg regularly over the years?

Biotin 5mg tablets can be beneficial for improving hair, skin, and nail health when taken regularly. However, it is important to note that individual responses may vary. Follihair is a combination supplement that contains biotin along with other vitamins and minerals that are beneficial for hair health. It can help in reducing hair fall and promoting hair growth. When taken as directed, biotin and Follihair are generally safe for long-term use. Side effects are rare, but some individuals may experience mild gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea or diarrhea.

Ive been using Follihair for over a year now and just bought another years supply. I wanted to ask if its okay to keep using it for such a long time? Also, Ive noticed a difference between the old and new tablets. The old ones had 10 mg of biotin, but the new ones only have 30 mcg, along with some new added vitamins and minerals. Since biotin is the key ingredient for hair growth, will the new formulation still work the same way as the old one, even with such a big difference in the biotin amount?

Biotin is indeed an important ingredient for promoting hair growth, but the newly added vitamins and minerals in the new formulation may also contribute to overall hair health. It is advisable to continue using the new formulation and monitor any changes in hair growth or health. It is generally safe to use follihair tablets for an extended period of time, as they are commonly used for hair growth and hair health.

I have thin hair and I'm thinking about using Hair Bless tablets to promote growth. Are there any side effects I should be aware of? Would it actually help with hair growth?

Hair Bless tablet contains biotin, folic acid, and minerals which can help promote hair growth and improve hair health. It is generally safe to use and side effects are rare. However, some people may experience minor side effects such as stomach upset or skin reactions. For thin hair, you can try using Hair Bless tablet along with a topical minoxidil solution like Mintop. Minoxidil can help stimulate hair growth and improve hair thickness.

Ive been dealing with severe itching around my tailbone and the upper buttock creases for the past 10 days. I tried using Calamine lotion, which provided some relief but didnt help much. Could this be a fungal infection? If so, is it okay to use an antifungal cream like Livafin?

Itching in the tailbone and upper buttock crevices can indeed be a sign of a fungal infection, especially if it has not improved with calamine lotion. You can try using an antifungal cream like Livafin (Terbinafine) twice a day for about 2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to help with the healing process.

I used Memopi-HC cream about 8 months ago for 15 days on my face, but I accidentally applied it all over my face instead of just the affected area. A few days later, my skin became red around my nose, and its still red now. What should I do to help it heal or recover?

I recommend using a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream twice a day on the affected area to help soothe and hydrate the skin. In addition, you can apply a thin layer of a topical corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream once a day to reduce inflammation and redness. Make sure to avoid using any harsh products on your face and protect your skin from sun exposure by using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30. If the redness persists or worsens, it is best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

Ive noticed a single white pimple or mole on my penis for the past few days. Theres no irritation, itching, or painjust a mole-like spot. Is this something I should be concerned about?

These are common and usually harmless. However, it is important to monitor any changes in size, color, or shape. If you notice any changes or if it causes any discomfort, you should consult a doctor for further evaluation. No treatment is usually required for Fordyce spots or pearly penile papules.

I have a red ring-like spot on my face that looks similar to a ringworm rash. Ive been using Lobate GM cream for treatment. Is this the right medicine to use for it?

A ring red spot or rash on your face resembling ringworm may require antifungal treatment. However, Lobate GM is not appropriate for ringworm as it contains a combination of a steroid (betamethasone) and two other ingredients. Instead, you should use an antifungal cream like Terbinafine (brand name Lamisil) or Clotrimazole (brand name Lotrimin). Apply the antifungal cream twice daily on the affected area for at least 2 weeks. If the rash persists or worsens, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I have heavy pigmentation, dark spots, and pimples on my face. My skin looks tanned and dull, and it gets worse when Im out in the sunmy face becomes dark and lifeless. I also have black patches and dark circles around my eyes. My neck has pigmentation and dark lines too. On top of that, Im dealing with fungal infections and itching in private areas. What could be causing all this and how can I treat it?

For fungal infection and itching in private body parts, you can use an antifungal cream containing clotrimazole or miconazole. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to prevent further irritation. For heavy pigmentation, dark spots, and pimples, you can use a combination of topical treatments such as hydroquinone cream for pigmentation, benzoyl peroxide for pimples, and retinoid cream for dark spots. For tanned and dull skin, you can use a sunscreen with high SPF during the day and a skin brightening cream containing ingredients like vitamin C or niacinamide at night.

I'm 21 years old and I haven't seen much growth in my beard and mustache. Is there something I can do to help them grow, or is this normal for my age?

Facial hair growth can be influenced by genetics and hormones. One option to promote beard and mustache growth is to use Minoxidil solution 5%. You can apply it on the areas where you want hair growth twice a day. It may take several months to see results, so patience is key. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new treatment.

I've had a ringworm infection for about a month and a half now, and I've been using Dermic 5 cream, but it doesn't seem to be helping. What should I do next? Should I try a different treatment or see a doctor for something stronger?

If Dermi 5 cream has not been effective in treating your ringworm infection, you can try using Terbinafine cream (brand name Lamisil) twice daily on the affected area for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole (brand name Diflucan) 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to help clear the infection from within. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry, and avoid sharing personal items to prevent spreading the infection.

I've been dealing with a skin issue for about 3 months now. I used betamethasone cream on my face, but at some point, my face started getting really red, especially around the cheeks. My doctor said I used a high-strength steroid, but now I'm unsure what to do. There's no irritation or itching, but my face stays red, especially when I go outside. Im currently using Desowen lotion and Emodel lotion for cleansing, but Im really worried about my skin. I feel a lack of confidence because of it and sometimes avoid going outside. What can I do to help with this redness and improve my skin?

It sounds like you are experiencing redness on your face due to the prolonged use of a high-potency steroid cream. To help improve the redness and restore your skin's health, I recommend the following: Discontinue the use of betamethasone cream immediately, as advised by your doctor. Continue using Desowen lotion as prescribed. This contains desonide, a mild corticosteroid that can help reduce inflammation and redness. For cleansing, continue using Emodel lotion. Make sure to use a gentle cleanser that is suitable for sensitive skin. Consider using a moisturizer with ingredients like ceramides or hyaluronic acid to help repair your skin barrier and improve hydration. Avoid direct sun exposure and always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 when going outside to prevent further damage from UV rays.

However, it is important to continue practicing good hygiene to prevent any potential complications.You should continue to take anti-virals and practice self isolation to prevent further spread of the virus.

I have oily and acne-prone skin, and I was wondering if it's okay to use Venusia cream as a moisturizer. Will it block my pores or make my acne worse?

Venusia cream is not specifically formulated for oily and acne-prone skin. It may be too heavy and could potentially clog pores, leading to more acne breakouts. I recommend using oil-free and non-comedogenic moisturizers like Cetaphil Oil Control Moisturizer. Apply a thin layer of moisturizer to clean skin twice a day for best results.

Additionally, you can add Zyrtec (Cetirizine) 10mg once daily for better control of your symptoms. Make sure to continue with your current medication and follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

Hi, Ive been dealing with excessive dandruff for the past 10 years. Recently, I saw a doctor in Bangalore who said I have seborrheic dermatitis and that its incurable. He recommended Noskurf lotion and a Cipla shampoo, but I havent seen much improvement. Can you suggest a good doctor in Bangalore or any other tips that might help with this condition?

In addition to using the Noskurf lotion and Cipla shampoo as prescribed by your doctor, you can also try the following tips to help control your condition: Use a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole (such as Nizoral shampoo) at least twice a week. Wash your hair regularly to prevent oil buildup on your scalp. Avoid using hair products that can irritate the scalp, such as gels and mousses. Manage stress levels, as stress can exacerbate seborrheic dermatitis. - Eat a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals to support overall skin health.

Hi, Ive been dealing with heavy hair fall and dandruff for many years. My dermatologist prescribed Folica hair tincture, but it seems to be making my hair fall even more. Ive had tests done and I dont have any nutritional deficiencies. Should I stop using the solution, or is it normal to experience more hair fall when starting a new treatment?

- It's common to experience initial hair shedding when starting treatments like Folica, but if the hair loss continues or worsens, it's best to stop using it and consult your dermatologist. They may need to adjust your treatment plan.

I recently visited a dermatologist at DHI who recommended Keraglo for my hair, but another dermatologist suggested a combination of topical Minoxidil and Finasteride. From what Ive read online, it seems like the Minoxidil and Finasteride combo works pretty quickly, but the effects stop when you stop using them. I also understand these arent for hair loss due to deficiencies.My main concern now is whether I can continue using Keraglo or Becosules alongside the Minoxidil and Finasteride combo. Will there be any side effects if I use Keraglo Men with these treatments? And is Keraglo AD shampoo safe for long-term use?

keraglo tablet is advised, u can continue shampoo also.

I noticed about two weeks ago a small lump under the skin on my right butt cheek, near where it connects to my thigh. It's about the size of a pea, hard to the touch, and quite painful, especially when I sit down because there's pressure on it. The skin above it also has some darkish red discoloration. Im not sure what it could be, but I dont think its a cyst. Any ideas on what this could be and if I should be concerned?

It sounds like you might have a painful bump, possibly an ingrown hair, cyst, or a localized infection. Its best to avoid pressing on it. Keep the area clean, and apply warm compresses to reduce pain and swelling. If the bump doesnt improve or worsens, consider seeing a doctor for a proper evaluation and treatment.

I've been using Melaglow cream for about a year, applying it at night and washing it off in the morning. My skin seemed to glow after using it, but now that Ive stopped, my skin has become really pigmented and much darker than before. I was fair enough before using the cream. Is there any way I can get my original skin tone back? If yes, can you guide me on what steps to take?

It's possible to restore your skin tone, but it will take time and patience. Pigmentation changes can occur due to various reasons, like stopping a product or other factors. Focus on a gentle skincare routine with sunscreen, vitamin C serums, and exfoliation. If needed, consult a dermatologist for personalized treatment options like chemical peels or topical treatments. Stay consistent, and your skin can gradually improve.

Ive been getting hives every night for the past 5-6 months. My skin gets really itchy and bumpy, especially around my hips, lower stomach, and the back of my hands. They go away by morning, but its been happening regularly. I dont have any known allergies. What could be causing this, and how can I treat it?

It sounds like you're experiencing chronic urticaria (hives), which can occur for various reasons, even without an obvious allergy. Stress, temperature changes, or other factors could be triggering it. I recommend avoiding known irritants, managing stress, and trying antihistamines for relief. If symptoms persist, please consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions or explore other treatment options.

Hi doctor, I wanted to clarify something about Kojivit Ultra. There are different versions like Kojivit gel, Kojivit Ultra, and Kojivit cream. Are they all the same, or do I need to specifically look for Kojivit Ultra? Also, can I use glutathione soap along with it for better results? My skin is oily and sensitive, so Im trying to avoid chemical peels or steroid creams since my skin tends to react badly to those. Right now, Im using Photostable sunscreen daily and aloe vera gel at night.

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.

My friend has cut marks on his wrist and arms that have been there for over a year. Hes about to get married and is looking for a way to get rid of these marks. Can you suggest any ointments or treatments that might help fade or remove these scars?

For older cut scars, suggest a silicone-based scar gel applied daily for several months to help reduce appearance. Microneedling or laser treatments with a dermatologist can also significantly improve the scars. consult a dermatologist for the best treatment plan based on his skin type.

Im a 20-year-old female and Ive been using Betnovate cream regularly for fairness and acne. My family doctor told me not to use it so often, but Im not sure why. Can you tell me what the side effects of long-term use are? And are there better alternatives I can try for acne and fairness?

Long-term use of Betnovate cream, a strong steroid, can cause skin thinning, increased acne, pigmentation changes, and may worsen skin issues over time. It's best to stop regular use and consult a dermatologist for safer options, like non-steroid creams, retinoids, or other acne treatments suited to your skin.

A sudden red mark on the neck that doesn't hurt or itch could be from minor trauma (like scratching), an insect bite, or a skin reaction. Other possibilities include an allergic reaction. If it doesnt improve or new symptoms appear, consider seeing a doctor for evaluation to rule out other causes like dermatitis or skin conditions.

I've been using Skinlite and Kozicare creams, and theyve made my skin fairer. But as soon as I stop using them, my skin starts getting darker again. Is it safe to keep using skin whitening creams like this, or should I be concerned about long-term use?

Long-term use of skin-lightening creams like Skin Lite can cause skin damage and rebound darkening. Stop using the cream completely and avoid sun exposure by using sunscreen (SPF 30+). Keep your skin moisturized with gentle, fragrance-free creams. Consult a dermatologist for proper treatment, such as medications or therapies to repair and even out your skin.

Now, after 2 years, Im thinking of using minoxidil 5% again. Is it safe to restart it now, and should I expect the same results?

It's okay to try minoxidil again after two years, but be prepared for shedding initially, as it can happen when restarting. Continue using it consistently for at least 4-6 months to see results. If you notice any irritation or side effects, consult with a dermatologist. Remember, minoxidil works best with long-term use.

I stopped using minoxidil about 3 months ago, and I'm still experiencing hair fall. How long will this continue after stopping the treatment? When will my hair start to get back to normal? I had been using minoxidil for about 6 monthsfirst 2% for 3 months, then switched to 5% for another 3 months. While using the 5%, I started experiencing itching on my scalp, increased heart rate, and swelling around my eyes, so I had to stop. Before using minoxidil, my hair was thick, and it stayed thick while on the treatment, but now after stopping, it's become really thin and the hair fall has gotten worse. Ive started taking BTN Ultra Biotin tablets now, but will my hair go back to how it was before? What can I do to get it back to normal?

When you stop using minoxidil, hair shedding is common because the hair growth stimulated by minoxidil enters a resting phase. This shedding period can last a few weeks to a few months, depending on individual factors. However, for many, hair fall should stabilize within 3-6 months after stopping minoxidil, and the hair should return to its previous state (before minoxidil) over time.To support your hair during this period:- Maintain a Healthy Diet: Nutrients like biotin, vitamins A, D, E, and minerals like zinc and iron are important. BTN Ultra biotin can support hair health, but ensure a balanced intake.- Reduce Stress: Stress management can help reduce hair loss and improve recovery.- Use Mild Hair Products: Avoid harsh chemicals and use gentle shampoos to support your scalp.If the hair fall continues or worsens, a follow-up with your dermatologist may be beneficial for personalized advice and to rule out other underlying causes.

Lately, I've noticed that my face skin has become darker than before. The texture is unevensome areas are really dark, while others are lighter. People also mention that my skin looks rough for my age. I dont see any glow anymore, and my skin feels really dry, almost like it's lifeless. What could be causing this, and how can I fix it?

It sounds like your skin may be experiencing hyperpigmentation, dryness, and texture irregularities, possibly due to factors like sun exposure, dehydration, or skin barrier damage. Here are some recommendations:1. Drink plenty of water to improve skin hydration from within.2. Use a hydrating, non-comedogenic moisturizer twice daily.3. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) daily to prevent further darkening.4. Try a mild exfoliant (like lactic acid) once or twice a week to promote even skin texture.Consider seeing a dermatologist for personalized treatment, which may include topical treatments or other therapies to even skin tone and improve texture.These steps should help improve your skins hydration, glow, and uniformity over time.

Im 19 and have very sensitive skin. Ive been advised to use Dermadew soap to help with fairness, but Im not sure if its the best option for me. Is it safe to use on sensitive skin, or are there better alternatives I should consider?

Dermadew soap can help with hydration and mild skin brightening, but for sensitive skin, it's essential to do a patch test first to avoid irritation. Gentle products with calming ingredients like aloe vera or oatmeal might suit you better. Avoid harsh soaps and focus on sunscreen, as sun protection is crucial for even skin tone and sensitivity management.

For dandruff, Topisal lotion (salicylic acid-based) is great if you have thick flakes or scalp buildup, as it exfoliates and reduces scaling. D'Free lotion (ketoconazole-based) is better if dandruff is due to fungal infections, as it targets the root cause. If your dandruff is mild and itchy, go with D'Free for better long-term results. For severe scaling, start with Topisal and then switch to D'Free.

If you notice any irritation or side effects, consult with a dermatologist. Remember, minoxidil works best with long-term use.

I noticed about two weeks ago a small lump under the skin on my right butt cheek, near where it connects to my thigh. It's about the size of a pea, hard to the touch, and quite painful, especially when I sit down because there's pressure on it. The skin above it also has some darkish red discoloration. I'm not sure what it could be, but I don't think it's a cyst. Any ideas on what this could be and if I should be concerned?

It sounds like you might have a painful bump, possibly an ingrown hair, cyst, or a localized infection. It's best to avoid pressing on it. Keep the area clean, and apply warm compresses to reduce pain and swelling. If the bump doesn't improve or worsens, consider seeing a doctor for a proper evaluation and treatment.

I've been using Melaglow cream for about a year, applying it at night and washing it off in the morning. My skin seemed to glow after using it, but now that I've stopped, my skin has become really pigmented and much darker than before. I was fair enough before using the cream. Is there any way I can get my original skin tone back? If yes, can you guide me on what steps to take?

It's possible to restore your skin tone, but it will take time and patience. Pigmentation changes can occur due to various reasons, like stopping a product or other factors. Focus on a gentle skincare routine with sunscreen, vitamin C serums, and exfoliation. If needed, consult a dermatologist for personalized treatment options like chemical peels or topical treatments. Stay consistent, and your skin can gradually improve.

I've been getting hives every night for the past 5-6 months. My skin gets really itchy and bumpy, especially around my hips, lower stomach, and the back of my hands. They go away by morning, but it's been happening regularly. I don't have any known allergies. What could be causing this, and how can I treat it?

It sounds like you're experiencing chronic urticaria (hives), which can occur for various reasons, even without an obvious allergy. Stress, temperature changes, or other factors could be triggering it. I recommend avoiding known irritants, managing stress, and trying antihistamines for relief. If symptoms persist, please consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions or explore other treatment options.

I stopped using minoxidil about 3 months ago, and I'm still experiencing hair fall. How long will this continue after stopping the treatment? When will my hair start to get back to normal? I had been using minoxidil for about 6 months-first 2% for 3 months, then switched to 5% for another 3 months. While using the 5%, I started experiencing itching on my scalp, increased heart rate, and swelling around my eyes, so I had to stop. Before using minoxidil, my hair was thick, and it stayed thick while on the treatment, but now after stopping, it's become really thin and the hair fall has gotten worse. I've started taking BTN Ultra Biotin tablets now, but will my hair go back to how it was before? What can I do to get it back to normal?

When you stop using minoxidil, hair shedding is common because the hair growth stimulated by minoxidil enters a resting phase. This shedding period can last a few weeks to a few months, depending on individual factors. However, for many, hair fall should stabilize within 3-6 months after stopping minoxidil, and the hair should return to its previous state (before minoxidil) over time. To support your hair during this period: - Maintain a Healthy Diet: Nutrients like biotin, vitamins A, D, E, and minerals like zinc and iron are important. BTN Ultra biotin can support hair health, but ensure a balanced intake. - Reduce Stress: Stress management can help reduce hair loss and improve recovery. - Use Mild Hair Products: Avoid harsh chemicals and use gentle shampoos to support your scalp. If the hair fall continues or worsens, a follow-up with your dermatologist may be beneficial for personalized advice and to rule out other underlying causes.

Lately, I've noticed that my face skin has become darker than before. The texture is uneven-some areas are really dark, while others are lighter. People also mention that my skin looks rough for my age. I don't see any glow anymore, and my skin feels really dry, almost like it's lifeless. What could be causing this, and how can I fix it?

It sounds like your skin may be experiencing hyperpigmentation, dryness, and texture irregularities, possibly due to factors like sun exposure, dehydration, or skin barrier damage. Here are some recommendations: 1. Drink plenty of water to improve skin hydration from within. 2. Use a hydrating, non-comedogenic moisturizer twice daily. 3. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) daily to prevent further darkening. 4. Try a mild exfoliant (like lactic acid) once or twice a week to promote even skin texture. Consider seeing a dermatologist for personalized treatment, which may include topical treatments or other therapies to even skin tone and improve texture. These steps should help improve your skin's hydration, glow, and uniformity over time.

I'm 19 and have very sensitive skin. I've been advised to use Dermadew soap to help with fairness, but I'm not sure if it's the best option for me. Is it safe to use on sensitive skin, or are there better alternatives I should consider?

Dermadew soap can help with hydration and mild skin brightening, but for sensitive skin, it's essential to do a patch test first to avoid irritation. Gentle products with calming ingredients like aloe vera or oatmeal might suit you better. Avoid harsh soaps and focus on sunscreen, as sun protection is crucial for even skin tone and sensitivity management.

My friend has cut marks on his wrist and arms that have been there for over a year. He's about to get married and is looking for a way to get rid of these marks. Can you suggest any ointments or treatments that might help fade or remove these scars?

For older cut scars, suggest a silicone-based scar gel applied daily for several months to help reduce appearance. Microneedling or laser treatments with a dermatologist can also significantly improve the scars. consult a dermatologist for the best treatment plan based on his skin type.

Long-term use of Betnovate cream, a strong steroid, can cause skin thinning, increased acne, pigmentation changes, and may worsen skin issues over time. It's best to stop regular use and consult a dermatologist for safer options, like non-steroid creams, retinoids, or other acne treatments suited to your skin.

A sudden red mark on the neck that doesn't hurt or itch could be from minor trauma (like scratching), an insect bite, or a skin reaction. Other possibilities include an allergic reaction. If it doesn't improve or new symptoms appear, consider seeing a doctor for evaluation to rule out other causes like dermatitis or skin conditions.

Nerve damage: The nerve endings in your toe may be irritated or damaged during the procedure. 3. Incomplete healing: The wound may not be healing properly, leading to ongoing pain. 4. Pressure or friction: Ill-fitting shoes or socks may be causing pressure or friction on the affected toe. 4. Keep the wound clean and dry: Continue with alternate dressing and ensure the wound is cleaned and dried properly. 5. Elevate your foot: Whenever possible, elevate your foot above the level of your heart to reduce swelling. 6. Wear comfortable shoes: Choose shoes that fit well and don't put pressure on the affected toe. and take pain killer and if there are any signs of infections then take antibiotics also

I have so many premature grey hairs and increase day by day pls tell me any solution

Greying of hair is a normal aging process which starts around 30 as the melanocytes activity of the body slows down and gradually the melanin production in hair stops. If it is happening before this age, it is called premature greying. This can be genetic and also due to deficiency of essential vitamins and minerals. The hairs which have already turned white cannot be turned back to black. But you can delay the process of greying of hair by some lifestyle modifications. Take adequate sleep and drink lots of water, eat lots of fruits and green leafy vegetables. Few tablets can also be prescribed for the same. there is also one lotion which is supposed to work.

I usually get periods delayed by one or two months. So is there any problem Also my hair nails damage slightly seen

Delayed periods, hair damage, and nail damage could be indicative of hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, or other underlying health issues. Here are some potential causes: Hormonal Imbalances 1. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): A hormonal disorder that can cause irregular periods, hair loss, and nail damage. 2. Thyroid disorders: Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) or hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) can affect menstrual cycles and cause hair and nail damage. Nutritional Deficiencies 1. Iron deficiency: Can cause hair loss, nail damage, and irregular periods. 2. Vitamin deficiencies: Lack of vitamins like B12, vitamin D, or omega-3 fatty acids can contribute to hair and nail damage. Other Potential Causes 1. Stress: Prolonged stress can disrupt hormonal balances, leading to delayed periods and hair and nail damage. 2. Weight changes: Significant weight gain or loss can affect menstrual cycles and cause hair and nail damage. 3. Genetic predisposition: Family history can play a role in hormonal imbalances and hair and nail damage. To address these issues, consider the following steps: 1. Consult a gynecologist: Discuss your delayed periods and other symptoms with a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions. 2. Get blood tests: Check for hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, and other potential causes.

I have a small bindi tattoo on my forehead since childhood. it's a green color tattoo. I would also like to have a consultation for my skin and I want to remove it now.

Removing a tattoo, especially one that's been present since childhood, requires careful consideration. Here's what you should know: Tattoo Removal Options 1. Laser Tattoo Removal: This is a popular method for removing tattoos. High-intensity light beams target the pigment in the tattoo, breaking it down over time. Multiple sessions are usually required. 2. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy: Similar to laser removal, IPL uses broad-spectrum light to target the tattoo pigment. 3. Surgical Excision: In some cases, surgical removal of the tattoo may be recommended. Pre-Removal Considerations 1. Skin Type: Certain skin types may be more prone to complications during tattoo removal. 2. Tattoo Color: Green ink can be challenging to remove, as it may require specific laser wavelengths. 3. Tattoo Size and Location: The size and location of your bindi tattoo may impact the removal process. Consultation and Next Steps To discuss your options and determine the best course of action, schedule a consultation with a: 1. Dermatologist: A skin specialist who can assess your skin and provide guidance on tattoo removal.

Finasteride (Finpecia 1mg) and whey protein supplements are generally considered safe to use together, as they work through different mechanisms and have distinct metabolic pathways. Finasteride is metabolized by the liver and excreted by the kidneys. Whey protein supplements may increase kidney workload, but this is typically only a concern for individuals with pre-existing kidney issues.

Tugain Minoxidil 5% Solution contains minoxidil, a vasodilator that activates hair follicles and increases blood supply.¹ It's available in 5% and 10% concentrations, with the 10% solution being more effective for grade three and four hair loss. Morr F tropical solution contains finasteride, which, when combined with minoxidil, can enhance hair growth.² Some dermatologists recommend Morr F as a better option due to its added finasteride content. Follihair serum is another option, but its effectiveness compared to Tugain and Morr F is less documented.

Prolonged use of Pendram Plus, a topical corticosteroid cream, can lead to skin darkening and other side effects. To address these issues, follow these steps: Reversing Skin Darkening 1. Stop using Pendram Plus: Discontinue using the cream to prevent further skin darkening.Reducing Dark Circles 1. Eye creams: Use eye creams containing ingredients like: - Caffeine (reduces puffiness) - Peptides (stimulates collagen production) - Vitamin K (fades dark circles) 2. Cold compress: Apply a cold compress to the affected area to reduce puffiness. 3. Elevate your head: Sleep with your head slightly elevated to reduce fluid accumulation under the eyes. 4. Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and plump.

Hi I want to get cysteine treatment done for my hair. Is it helpful for hair fall as well? Also I have dry scalp.

Cysteine treatment can be beneficial for hair fall and dry scalp. Here's how: Hair Fall: 1. Strengthens hair roots: Cysteine helps to fortify hair roots, reducing the likelihood of hair fall. 2. Improves hair texture: Cysteine treatment can enhance hair elasticity, making it less prone to breakage. 3. Reduces split ends: By repairing and restoring hair bonds, cysteine treatment can minimize split ends, which can contribute to hair fall. Dry Scalp: 1. Moisturizes the scalp: Cysteine treatment can help hydrate the scalp, reducing dryness and itchiness. 2. Reduces dandruff: The antifungal and antibacterial properties of cysteine can help control dandruff and other scalp issues. 3. Soothes irritation: Cysteine's anti-inflammatory properties can calm irritated scalp areas, reducing redness and discomfort. Before undergoing cysteine treatment, consider the following: 1. Consult a professional: Book an appointment with a dermatologist or trichologist to discuss your hair and scalp concerns.

I want to take the multivitamins becadexamin and seecordliver oil capsule and also sugerbearhair for my hair can i take allthese vitamins or biotin ples reply me

You're considering taking multiple supplements to support your overall health and hair growth. Here's a breakdown of the supplements you mentioned: - Becadexamin: A multivitamin that provides essential nutrients like vitamins B, C, D, E, and K, as well as minerals. - Seecord Liver Oil Capsule: A source of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, which support heart health and may also promote hair growth. - SugarBearHair: A dietary supplement specifically designed to support hair growth, containing biotin, vitamin C, and other nutrients. Considering your plan to take all these supplements, here are some points to keep in mind: 1. Overlapping ingredients: Becadexamin and SugarBearHair both contain biotin and other vitamins. Taking both might lead to excessive intake of these nutrients. 2. Interactions and side effects: Although generally considered safe, high doses of biotin can cause skin rashes, hair loss (ironically!), and other side effects. 3. Liver oil and omega-3 intake: If you're already taking Seecord Liver Oil Capsule, you might not need additional omega-3 supplements. To minimize potential risks and maximize benefits: 1. Consult a healthcare professional: Discuss your supplement plan with a doctor or registered dietitian to ensure you're not exceeding recommended daily intake levels. 2. Choose one biotin supplement: Select either Becadexamin or SugarBearHair, but not both, to avoid excessive biotin intake. 3. Monitor your body's response: Pay attention to any side effects or changes in your body after starting these supplements.

Engage in stress-reducing activities like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises. 2. *Improve diet*: Eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, particularly those promoting hair growth like biotin, vitamin D, and omega-3 fatty acids. 3. *Use gentle hair care products*: Switch to gentle, sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners. 4. *Avoid excessive heat styling*: Reduce heat styling tools or use a heat protectant spray to minimize damage. Self-Care* 1. *Avoid shaving*: Refrain from shaving the affected area until you've consulted a doctor. 2. *Keep the area clean*: Gently wash the area with mild soap and warm water. 3. *Avoid picking or scratching*: Resist the urge to pick or scratch the affected area, as this can lead to further irritation and scarring.

Can we use melalumin lightening cream on our lips to remove melanin or we have to buy melalumin lip lightner. Chemist says it will work

I would advise against using Melalumin lightening cream on your lips, even if the chemist says it will work. Here's why: 1. Formulation differences: Melalumin lightening cream is formulated for skin use, whereas lip skin is more delicate and requires specialized care. Using a skin cream on lips may cause irritation, dryness, or other adverse reactions. 2. Lip safety: Lips lack the protective barrier of skin, making them more susceptible to irritation and damage. Using a skin lightening cream on lips may increase the risk of adverse effects. 3. Specific lip concerns: Lip lightening products, like Melalumin lip lightener, are specifically designed to address lip concerns, such as dryness, pigmentation, and fine lines. They may contain ingredients that are more suitable for lip care. To ensure safety and effectiveness, I recommend using a product specifically designed for lip care, such as Melalumin lip lightener.

I used salactin paint on my ankle to remove hard skin on my ankle but after a days use the skin turned black an red. Looks like it burnt. Need to know the treatment to heal it .

Salactin paint contains salicylic acid, which can help soften and remove hard skin. However, it can also cause irritation, especially if used incorrectly or on sensitive skin. The black and red discoloration you've described suggests a chemical burn or severe irritation. To promote healing and reduce discomfort, follow these steps: Immediate Care 1. Stop using Salactin paint: Discontinue use immediately to prevent further irritation. 2. Wash the area: Gently wash the affected area with mild soap and lukewarm water to remove any remaining salicylic acid. 3. Apply a topical cream: Use a topical cream or gel containing aloe vera, hydrocortisone (1%), or calamine to help soothe and calm the skin.

I have hair fall because of typhoid fever. What can we do to reduce it . Please help

Typhoid fever can cause hair loss due to the physical stress it puts on the body. To reduce hair fall after typhoid fever: *Nutrition and Supplements* 1. *Protein-rich diet*: Include protein-rich foods like fish, eggs, beans, and nuts to help rebuild hair follicles. 2. *Iron supplements*: Iron deficiency is common after typhoid fever. Consult your doctor about taking iron supplements. 3. *Vitamin B complex*: Vitamin B complex, especially B12, plays a crucial role in hair growth. Consider taking supplements or eating foods rich in vitamin B. 4. *Omega-3 fatty acids*: Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish oil supplements, promote hair growth and reduce inflammation. *Hair Care* 1. *Gentle shampooing*: Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo to minimize hair breakage. 2. *Reduce heat styling*: Avoid heat styling tools like flat irons, curling irons, and blow dryers, as they can damage hair and lead to breakage. 3. *Use a wide-tooth comb*: A wide-tooth comb is gentler on hair than regular combs or brushes, which can cause breakage. 4. *Avoid harsh chemical treatments*: Postpone chemical treatments like hair dyeing, perming, or straightening until your hair has fully recovered. *Additional Tips* 1. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to help your body recover from typhoid fever and promote hair growth. 2. *Reduce stress*: High stress levels can contribute to hair loss. Engage in stress-reducing activities like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises. 3. *Get enough sleep*: Adequate sleep is essential for hair growth and overall health. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep per night. Consult your doctor or a dermatologist for personalized advice on reducing hair fall after typhoid fever.

Did minoxidil 5 percentage stops working after 2 year. I have pattern baldness iam using it for last 2 years it works in beginning months  but now not working.why ?

Minoxidil 5% is a common treatment for pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). While it can be effective, its effectiveness may decrease over time.Receptor downregulation: Minoxidil works by binding to specific receptors. Prolonged use may lead to a decrease in receptor density, reducing the medication's effectiveness.Other factors: Poor scalp health, inadequate application, or concurrent medical conditions may also contribute to decreased effectiveness. Options to consider: 1. Consult a dermatologist: Discuss your concerns and explore alternative treatments, such as finasteride (oral medication), low-level laser therapy (LLLT), or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. 2. Combination therapy: Using minoxidil in combination with other treatments, such as finasteride or LLLT, may help maintain or enhance its effectiveness. 3. Scalp care: Maintain good scalp hygiene, and consider using scalp serums or shampoos that promote hair growth. 4. Realistic expectations: Understand that minoxidil is not a cure for pattern baldness, and its effectiveness may vary.

I wanted to know what is the difference between hair tincture and minoxidil. I am suffering from female pattern hair loss..

Hair tincture and minoxidil are two different hair growth treatments. Here's a comparison: Hair Tincture 1. Natural ingredients: Typically contains herbal extracts, essential oils, and other natural ingredients. 2. Mechanism: Stimulates hair growth by improving blood flow, reducing inflammation, and promoting a healthy scalp environment. 3. Application: Usually applied topically, massaged into the scalp, and left on for a specified time. 4. Effectiveness: Varies depending on the individual and the specific tincture formula. Some users report improved hair growth, while others may not see significant results. Minoxidil 1. Active ingredient: Minoxidil is the primary active ingredient, available in 2% or 5% concentrations. 2. Mechanism: Widens blood vessels, increasing blood flow to the scalp, and prolongs the anagen phase (active growth phase) of hair growth. 3. Application: Applied topically, directly to the scalp, typically twice a day. 4. Effectiveness: Clinically proven to promote hair growth, slow down hair loss, and improve hair density. Key differences 1. Natural vs. pharmaceutical: Hair tincture is typically natural, while minoxidil is a pharmaceutical ingredient. 2. Mechanism of action: Hair tincture stimulates hair growth through improved blood flow and scalp health, while minoxidil works by widening blood vessels and prolonging the anagen phase. 3. Effectiveness: Minoxidil has more clinical evidence supporting its effectiveness for hair growth, while hair tincture results vary depending on the individual and formula. For female pattern hair loss, minoxidil (2% or 5% concentration) is a more established treatment option. However, some hair tinctures may also be beneficial. Consult a dermatologist or healthcare professional to determine the best course of treatment for your specific condition.

Can i use retino a cream for my dark underarms. Will it lighten my skin? I also have dark area near neck and inner thighs. Can i use retino a cream even there?

Retino-A cream, containing tretinoin (a derivative of vitamin A), is primarily used to treat acne, fine lines, and skin discoloration. Using Retino-A Cream for Dark Underarms and Other Areas: Retino-A cream can help lighten dark areas by: 1. Inhibiting melanin production: Tretinoin can reduce the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin darkening. 2. Exfoliating the skin: Retino-A cream can help remove dead skin cells, revealing brighter, more even-toned skin. Areas Where You Can Use Retino-A Cream: 1. Dark underarms: Yes, you can use Retino-A cream on your underarms. However, be cautious, as the skin in this area can be sensitive. 2. Dark area near the neck: You can use Retino-A cream on the neck area, but be gentle, as the skin here can be delicate. 3. Dark inner thighs: While you can use Retino-A cream on the inner thighs, be aware that the skin in this area can be sensitive and prone to irritation. Precautions and Tips: 1. Start with a low concentration: Begin with a lower concentration of tretinoin (around 0.025%) and gradually increase as your skin becomes more tolerant. 2. Use it at night: Apply Retino-A cream at night, as it can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. 3. Moisturize: Use a gentle moisturizer to help soothe and hydrate your skin, reducing the risk of irritation. 4. Be patient: It may take several weeks to see noticeable improvements in skin tone and texture. 5. Consult a dermatologist: If you're unsure about using Retino-A cream or have sensitive skin, consult a dermatologist for personalized guidance.

Since you're 11 weeks and 4 days pregnant, you can opt for threading as a hair removal method for your eyebrows and upper lip.¹ However, it's essential to take some precautions to minimize potential risks. Make sure to find a skilled and experienced threading technician who follows proper sanitation and hygiene procedures.² Some benefits of threading include its precision, gentleness on the skin, and ability to remove even the tiniest hairs. Additionally, threading doesn't involve the use of chemicals, making it a relatively safe option during pregnancy. Before undergoing threading, inform your technician about your pregnancy.

Hello I am taking erythromycin tablets for acne and I would like to know the digest time

Erythromycin is an antibiotic commonly used to treat acne. The digest time, also known as the absorption time, of erythromycin tablets can vary depending on several factors, such as the dosage form, individual metabolism, and food intake. Typically, erythromycin tablets are absorbed into the bloodstream within 1-4 hours after oral administration. However, the exact digest time may range from 30 minutes to 6 hours. Here's a rough breakdown of what you can expect: - 30 minutes to 1 hour: Erythromycin starts getting absorbed into the bloodstream. - 1-2 hours: Peak absorption levels are reached. - 2-4 hours: Erythromycin starts taking effect against acne-causing bacteria. - 4-6 hours: The antibiotic is fully absorbed and distributed throughout the body. Keep in mind that these times are approximate and may vary from person to person.

For vitiligo, I am applying Melgain Lotion at night Pacroma Cream at morning however there is no releif or change in pigmentation... is this correct treatment?

Vitiligo can be challenging to treat, and it's great that you're seeking a second opinion. Melgain Lotion and Pacroma Cream 1. Melgain Lotion: Contains a combination of melatonin, vitamins, and antioxidants, which may help promote repigmentation. 2. Pacroma Cream: Contains pimecrolimus, a topical immunomodulator that may help reduce inflammation and promote repigmentation.

Treatment duration: Have you been using these creams for a sufficient amount of time (at least 3-6 months)? 2. Consistency and application: Are you applying the creams consistently, as directed, and covering the entire affected area? 3. Combination therapy: Have you considered combining these creams with other treatments, such as phototherapy, corticosteroids, or vitamin supplements? 4. Underlying causes: Are there any underlying causes or triggers for your vitiligo, such as autoimmune disorders, stress, or hormonal imbalances? Alternative Treatment Options If you're not seeing any improvement with Melgain Lotion and Pacroma Cream, consider discussing the following options with your doctor: 1. Phototherapy: Exposure to specific wavelengths of light, such as narrowband UVB or PUVA, can help stimulate repigmentation. 2. Corticosteroids: Topical or oral corticosteroids can help reduce inflammation and promote repigmentation. 3. Vitamin supplements: Certain vitamins, such as vitamin B12, vitamin D, or antioxidants, may help promote repigmentation. 4.

I have been suffering from sinus since 2 years. So, inorder to reduce my headache I applied zandu balm on my forhead. After a year I noticed that part of my forhead turns to black completely. Please can anyone tell me how can I avoid this ?

The use of Zandu balm on your forehead for an extended period has led to a condition called "contact leukoderma" or "chemical leukoderma." What is Contact Leukoderma? Contact leukoderma is a condition where the skin loses its pigmentation due to exposure to certain chemicals or substances. In your case, the prolonged use of Zandu balm has caused the skin on your forehead to lose its pigmentation, resulting in the black discoloration. How to Avoid Further Discoloration? 1. Stop using Zandu balm: Immediately discontinue the use of Zandu balm on the affected area to prevent further discoloration. 2. Consult a dermatologist: Schedule an appointment with a dermatologist to assess the affected area and provide guidance on treatment options. 3. Use sun protection: Avoid exposing the affected area to direct sunlight, as this can worsen the discoloration. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 when going outdoors. 4. Avoid further irritation: Refrain from using harsh skin care products, exfoliating, or using hot water on the affected area, as this can cause further irritation and discoloration.

Ringworm can be frustrating and uncomfortable. Understanding Ringworm Ringworm, also known as dermatophytosis, is a fungal infection that affects the skin. It's highly contagious and can be spread through direct contact with an infected person, animal, or contaminated surface.

Incomplete treatment: If the treatment is not completed or is not effective, the fungus may not be fully eliminated, leading to recurrence. 2. Contaminated environment: If the environment is not properly cleaned and disinfected, the fungus can survive and re-infect you. 3. Weakened immune system: A weakened immune system can make you more susceptible to fungal infections, including ringworm. 4. Skin-to-skin contact: Direct contact with an infected person or animal can spread the infection.

What can be long term complications of macular amyloidosis if the treatment not taken?please suggest

Macular amyloidosis is a rare skin condition characterized by the deposition of amyloid proteins in the skin, leading to hyperpigmentation and skin thickening. If left untreated, macular amyloidosis can lead to several long-term complications: Skin Complications 1. Persistent Hyperpigmentation: The condition can lead to permanent darkening of the skin, which can be cosmetically distressing. 2. Skin Thickening: Amyloid deposits can cause the skin to become thicker and more rigid, leading to reduced skin elasticity. 3. Skin Fragility: The skin may become more prone to tearing and bruising due to the amyloid deposits. Systemic Complications 1. Secondary Infections: Untreated macular amyloidosis can increase the risk of secondary bacterial or fungal infections. 2. Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Rarely, macular amyloidosis can increase the risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer. 3. Systemic Amyloidosis: In rare cases, macular amyloidosis can be associated with systemic amyloidosis, a condition where amyloid deposits accumulate in various organs, such as the kidneys, heart, or liver. Quality of Life Complications 1. Emotional Distress: Macular amyloidosis can cause significant emotional distress due to its cosmetic impact. 2. Social Withdrawal: The condition can lead to social withdrawal and reduced self-esteem. 3. Impact on Daily Life: Macular amyloidosis can affect daily life, making everyday activities, such as bathing or dressing, challenging. Treatment Options While there is no cure for macular amyloidosis, various treatment options can help manage the condition and prevent long-term complications. These include: 1. Topical Corticosteroids: To reduce inflammation and amyloid deposits. 2. Topical Retinoids: To promote skin cell turnover and reduce amyloid deposits. 3. Laser Therapy: To reduce hyperpigmentation and promote skin rejuvenation. 4. Surgical Excision: In rare cases, surgical excision of affected skin areas may be necessary.

Salon detan and bleach.. good or bad? Skin is blackening due to pollution very rapidly.

Detan and bleach treatments are popular salon services aimed at reducing skin darkening and hyperpigmentation. However, it's essential to weigh their effectiveness against potential risks. Detan Treatment Detan treatments typically involve a combination of exfoliating agents, like alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), and brightening agents, such as vitamin C or licorice extract. These treatments can help: 1. Exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and promoting cell turnover. 2. Reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and dark spots. 3. Improve skin texture and tone. However, detan treatments may not be suitable for everyone, especially those with sensitive skin. Potential side effects include: 1. Skin irritation or redness 2. Dryness or flakiness 3. Increased sun sensitivity Bleach Treatment Bleach treatments, on the other hand, involve the application of a strong chemical agent to lighten the skin. These treatments can be harsh and may lead to: 1. Skin irritation, redness, or burns 2. Dryness, flakiness, or skin cracking 3. Increased risk of infections or scarring 4. Uneven skin tone or patchiness It's essential to note that bleach treatments can be damaging, especially if done frequently or without proper care. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends avoiding bleach treatments altogether.

I have taken Diane 35 for six months. Its been 3 months since I stopped taking this medicine. But again my acne are coming back. What I can do??

Diane 35 is a hormonal contraceptive that's often prescribed to treat acne, especially in women. However, it's not uncommon for acne to return after stopping the medication. Why Acne Returns After Stopping Diane 35 1. Hormonal Fluctuations: Diane 35 regulates hormonal imbalances, which can help control acne. When you stop taking the medication, hormonal fluctuations can lead to acne recurrence. 2. Underlying Skin Issues: Diane 35 may have been masking underlying skin issues, such as clogged pores, bacterial growth, or inflammation. When you stop taking the medication, these underlying issues can resurface, leading to acne.3. Consider Alternative Acne Treatments: Your dermatologist may recommend alternative acne treatments, such as: - Topical retinoids - Benzoyl peroxide - Salicylic acid - Hormonal treatments (if hormonal imbalances are suspected)

Hello, Are P folliculitis and P Versicolor contagious? I have a 7 months baby. Will it spread to him by carrying him? Thanks...

As a parent, it's natural to worry about your baby's health. Pityrosporum Folliculitis (P. Folliculitis) and Pityriasis Versicolor (P. Versicolor): Both conditions are caused by the overgrowth of a yeast-like fungus called Malassezia. This fungus is naturally present on human skin and can cause problems when it grows excessively.Neither P. Folliculitis nor P. Versicolor is highly contagious. The fungus that causes these conditions is already present on human skin, and overgrowth is often triggered by individual factors, such as: 1. Hormonal changes 2. Stress 3. Genetics 4. Environmental factors (e.g., humidity, temperature) Risk of transmission to your baby: The risk of transmitting P. Folliculitis or P. Versicolor to your 7-month-old baby is low.

Skin issues: While there's no direct link between eating curd after fish and skin problems, some people might experience skin reactions due to individual sensitivities or allergies.

I'm here to help with advice and information, but I can't perform physical procedures like surgery. However, I can guide you on how to manage boils and offer some recommendations for treatment. Here are a couple of questions to better understand your situation: How long have you been experiencing these boils, and have they appeared before? Are you experiencing any other symptoms, like fever, or have you noticed any discharge from the boils? For treating boils, here's a general plan you could consider: Treatment Plan: Warm Compresses: Apply a warm, damp cloth to the affected area several times a day. This can help the boil drain naturally. Pain Management: Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help alleviate pain. Hygiene: Keep the area clean and avoid squeezing or popping the boil, as this can lead to infection. Note: Antibiotics are sometimes prescribed if the infection is severe or recurrent. If the boil becomes very large, painful, or does not resolve with home treatment, incision and drainage by a healthcare professional may be necessary. Prevention: Maintain good personal hygiene. Wear loose-fitting clothes to reduce friction. Keep the skin moisturized to prevent cracking and bacterial entry.

Aayein kuch suggestions dekhein jo madadgar ho sakte hain: Sun Protection: Sunscreen ka istemal zaroori hai, jo aapki skin ko UV radiation se protect karega aur pigmentation ko aur badhne se rokega. SPF 30 ya usse zyada wala sunscreen din mein lagana chahiye. Gentle Skincare Routine: Cleansing: Gentle, sulfate-free cleanser ka istemal karein jo aapki twacha ko rough ya dry nahi kare.

Can masturbating too much lead to candidal balanoposthitis? Will limiting masturbation cure the condition?

Masturbation itself is unlikely to directly cause candidal balanoposthitis. However, excessive masturbation can contribute to the development of this condition indirectly: _Friction and irritation_: Frequent masturbation can cause friction, leading to irritation and micro-tears in the skin. This can create an environment conducive to Candida overgrowth. _Moisture accumulation_: Masturbation can lead to increased moisture in the genital area, which can contribute to Candida growth. _Imbalanced skin pH_: Frequent masturbation can disrupt the natural skin pH, creating an environment that fosters Candida growth. Limiting masturbation may help alleviate some contributing factors, but it is unlikely to cure candidal balanoposthitis on its own. Treatment typically involves: _Antifungal medications_: Topical or oral antifungals to address the Candida infection. _Good genital hygiene_: Keeping the area clean and dry. _Avoiding irritants_: Reducing friction and avoiding harsh soaps or products.

As suggested by Doctor from Practo, to use SpF 30 for further protection. I would want to know if AloeVera Gel(readymade) mixed with Vitamin E is a good option to apply on face to reduce the dark patch on face.

Aloe vera gel and vitamin E can be a good combination to help reduce dark patches on the face. Here's why: 1. Aloe vera gel has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can help soothe and calm the skin, reducing redness and irritation. 2. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that can help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals, which can contribute to dark patches. 3. Vitamin E also has skin-lightening properties, which can help reduce the appearance of dark patches. However, keep in mind: - It's essential to choose a readymade aloe vera gel that is pure and free of harsh chemicals. - Vitamin E can be quite thick, so you may want to mix it with a few drops of a carrier oil like coconut or jojoba oil to make it easier to apply. - Always do a patch test before applying any new skincare mixture to your face to ensure you don't have any sensitivity or allergic reactions. - Consistency is key! Apply the mixture regularly, ideally once or twice a day, and be patient as it may take some time to see results. Remember to consult with a dermatologist if the dark patches persist or worsen. They can provide personalized advice and help you identify the underlying cause of the dark patches. Also, don't forget to use SPF 30 as recommended by your doctor to protect your skin from further damage!

My doctor also preferred aziderm gel but I brought aziderm cream.in use this cream instead of gel is any heating or any prob to my skin

Aziderm contains azelaic acid, which is commonly used to treat certain skin conditions like acne. The primary difference between a gel and a cream formulation lies in their base composition. Gels are usually water-based, tend to be lighter, and can be more suitable for oily or acne-prone skin. Creams, on the other hand, are often oil-based, thicker, and might be more appropriate for dry or sensitive skin. Using Aziderm cream instead of gel should generally be safe, but keep the following points in mind: Skin Type Compatibility: If you have very oily or acne-prone skin, a gel might penetrate better without leaving a greasy feeling. If your skin is more on the dry or sensitive side, a cream might be more soothing. Irritation Potential: Both formulations can potentially cause some irritation, especially if your skin is sensitive to azelaic acid. Watch for redness, stinging, or peeling. If you experience significant discomfort, consider discontinuing use or reducing the frequency of application. Application Tips: Apply a thin layer to the affected area. Start using it once daily to see how your skin reacts, then gradually increase to twice daily if needed. Moisturizer: If you notice dryness, applying a non-comedogenic moisturizer after the cream may help. Sun Protection: Ensure you use adequate sun protection, as azelaic acid can make your skin more sensitive to the sun.

T Bact or Bactafuz cream can be effective in treating boils in sensitive areas. In addition to the cream, you can also consider taking an oral antibiotic like Augmentin 625mg twice daily for 5-7 days to help with the healing process. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry, and avoid tight clothing that may irritate the boil. If the boil does not improve or if you develop fever or worsening pain, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Cracked skin at groin region. I previously used a cream cool to feel after applying which cured in 2 days.

It sounds like you may have had a fungal infection in the groin region. A cream that provides a cooling sensation and helps with fungal infections is Clotrimazole cream. Visit a Dermatologist to get a prescription.

I started having massive hair loss in last two months. I'm using Mintop 2% since 20 days. But it has seemed to increase the hairloss. Last time I used it for a month and the hairloss stopped. I'm 23, female. Please advise.

you can switch to higher dose of topical minoxidil under trichologist guidance, before you have to check the cause of hair fall which could be due to androgen effect, any dermatophytic infection etc., consultation with Dermatologist and appropriate approach would help you.

I have small small lumps on my body from past 10years... Is there any treatment for this? To which doctor I have to show this and what type of treatment for this?? Thanx in advance

The small lumps on your body could be lipomas, which are usually harmless fatty tumors under the skin. You can consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment. In some cases, if the lipomas are causing symptoms or cosmetic concerns, they can be removed surgically. However, if the lumps are due to other causes, the treatment may vary. It is best to consult a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

For older scars like yours, besides laser treatment, you can consider using topical silicone gel sheets or silicone gel. These can help improve the appearance of the scar over time. Make sure to apply them as directed by the manufacturer. Additionally, you can also try using vitamin E oil or creams containing onion extract to help reduce the visibility of the scar.

Excessive oil production on your face is often due to overactive sebaceous glands. While you can’t completely stop oil production (and you shouldn’t, as some oil is necessary for healthy skin), you can manage it effectively with the following steps: Cleanse properly, hydrate your skin, control shine during the day by carrying tissues to absorb the excess oil without disturbing makeup, adjust your diet, avoid heavy makeup, exfoliate weekly , use specialised treatments, manage stress.

I have a dark horizontal line on my nose from few days so how can it get cleared.It is visible from only last few days. So tell me how can I cure it

It can be due to various reasons. some are due to skin irritation or pressure caused by wearing glasses, masks or other items that or against the nose. Repeated rubbing off the nose due to allergies can also cause this. Could be a result of mild trauma, Sun exposure or hormonal changes. So to treat and prevent that avoid all the things I mentioned before . Use a gentle cleanser to clean the area twice daily. Avoid harsh scrubbing. Moisturise the area. Is brightening creams with vitamin c, niacinamide or kojic acid.

Im having IGE level more than 3000. It causes itching all over the body. Since 2 months im using some tablets priscribed by doctor but no use . Tablets causes excess weight in my body . Is there risk having severe ige

In such cases, it is important to discuss alternative treatment options with your doctor. To help reduce itching and lower your IGE levels, you can consider taking antihistamines such as Cetirizine 10mg once daily. Additionally, your doctor may also prescribe corticosteroids like Prednisone in a low dose to help control the itching. It is important to follow your doctor's advice and regularly monitor your IGE levels to assess the effectiveness of the treatment. Severe IGE levels can pose a risk as it indicates an overactive immune response, which can lead to various allergic reactions. It is important to address the underlying cause of the elevated IGE levels and work with your doctor to manage your symptoms effectively.

Hello doctor My friend has more hair fall problem. He's becoming bald... is it possible to grow hair on bald head...

While it may be challenging to grow hair on a completely bald head, there are some treatment options available that may help stimulate hair growth. One common medication used for male pattern baldness is Minoxidil, which is available in brands like Rogaine. It is typically applied to the scalp twice daily in a 5% solution for men. Another option is Finasteride, which is available in brands like Propecia. It is taken orally in a 1mg dose once daily. These medications may help slow down hair loss and promote some degree of hair regrowth in certain individuals. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the most suitable treatment plan for your friend's specific situation.

To help even out the skin tone on your buttocks and knees, you can consider using a skin lightening cream that contains ingredients like hydroquinone, kojic acid, or alpha arbutin. These ingredients can help lighten dark areas of the skin and promote a more even tone. You can try using a cream like Meladerm or Ambi Fade Cream, applying it to the affected areas once or twice a day as directed. Additionally, make sure to exfoliate the skin regularly to remove dead skin cells and promote skin renewal. Remember to use sunscreen on these areas to prevent further darkening from sun exposure.

The itching and pain you are experiencing after applying Silverex ointment may be due to an allergic reaction or sensitivity to the silver sulfadiazine in the ointment. I recommend stopping the use of Silverex ointment and instead applying a gentle soothing cream like aloe vera gel or plain white petroleum jelly to help with the itching and pain. You can also take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen to help with the pain. Make sure to keep the burn clean and covered with a sterile dressing.

Can capsule  evion 400 be used on face every alternate day? I apply it with almond oil or aloe Vera gel almost every second day. Is that fine?

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.

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?

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.

Please explain the difference between tanning and pigmentation. As i had my uneven skin tone..dark patches near to my nose. I want to know the difference berween tanning and pigmentation

Tanning is the skin's natural response to exposure to UV radiation, leading to the darkening of the skin. It is usually temporary and fades away as the skin regenerates. On the other hand, pigmentation refers to the color of the skin, which can be affected by various factors such as genetics, hormones, and sun exposure. Dark patches near the nose could be a result of both tanning and pigmentation issues. To address this, you can use a topical cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid to lighten the dark patches. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF daily can help prevent further darkening of the skin.

However, since you are only 18 years old, it is important to be cautious about taking any supplements without proper medical supervision. Hair Fact Kit may contain ingredients that help block DHT (dihydrotestosterone), which is a hormone that can contribute to hair loss. Blocking DHT can help prevent further hair loss and promote hair regrowth. In terms of potential health effects, it is important to follow the recommended dosage and not exceed the recommended intake. If you have any concerns about the effects of Hair Fact Kit on your health, I recommend discussing them with your doctor. They can provide personalized advice based on your medical history and current health status.

It is usually recommended to use this cream for a limited period of time, typically around 4-8 weeks, to see visible results. Once you have achieved the desired results, you can gradually reduce the frequency of application. It is important to follow up with a healthcare provider or dermatologist to determine the appropriate duration of treatment based on your individual response and skin condition.

How glycolic acid cream works on acne skin treated with benzoyl peroxide 2.5%. . What is the method to use it on sensetive skin

Glycolic acid cream works by exfoliating the skin, unclogging pores, and promoting skin cell turnover, which can help improve acne. When used in conjunction with benzoyl peroxide 2.5%, it can enhance the effectiveness of the treatment by further exfoliating the skin and reducing inflammation. For sensitive skin, it is important to start with a lower concentration of glycolic acid (around 5-8%) and gradually increase the frequency of use as tolerated. It is recommended to apply a small amount of glycolic acid cream to clean, dry skin once every other day initially, and then increase to daily use if there is no irritation. Always follow up with a moisturizer and use a sunscreen during the day when using glycolic acid, as it can increase sun sensitivity.

Long-term use of topical steroids like Tenovate GN can lead to skin thinning, discoloration, and acne breakouts when discontinued abruptly. Brite cream is a combination of multiple ingredients that help with skin brightening. To address the darkening and pimples upon discontinuation, you can gradually taper off the use of Tenovate GN to prevent rebound effects. You can switch to a milder steroid cream like Hydrocortisone for a short period to help with the transition. For skin brightening, you can consider using products containing ingredients like Vitamin C, niacinamide, or kojic acid.

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.

I want to know the effect of Canthex capsule. Why doctors recommend it ? What is the main effect of it on our body? Is it helps to reduce weight or it is only for skin infection.

Contains Orlistat as its active ingredient. It is commonly recommended by doctors for weight management in individuals who are overweight or obese. Orlistat works by inhibiting the absorption of dietary fats in the intestines, leading to reduced calorie intake and weight loss. It is not used for skin infections.

Since you have been suffering for 3 months, it is important to consider a different approach. This sounds like a case of fungal infection, possibly a persistent one.

Additionally, taking oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks can also help clear the infection completely.

Cover the burn with a sterile gauze bandage to protect it. You can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen to help with the pain and inflammation. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and monitor for any signs of increasing redness, swelling, or drainage, which may indicate a worsening infection. If the symptoms worsen or do not improve, please seek medical attention.

Dear sir can i use melacare cream for my face skin lightning and is melacare causes skin cancer? tell me

Melacare cream is a combination medication containing Hydroquinone, Tretinoin, and Mometasone. It is commonly used to lighten dark patches of skin. However, prolonged and indiscriminate use of hydroquinone can lead to side effects such as skin irritation, redness, and thinning of the skin. Tretinoin can also cause skin irritation and sensitivity to sunlight. Mometasone, if used for a long time, can lead to skin thinning and increased risk of infections. Regarding the risk of skin cancer, there is no direct evidence linking the use of Melacare cream to skin cancer. However, it is important to use this medication under the guidance of a healthcare professional and to follow the recommended dosage and duration of treatment to minimize the risk of side effects.

Suffering from infection in inner thighs near penis (May be fungal)....So much itching is happening in this place..Worried about that....Using itchguard from last 4 days.... Please suggest what to do as it is itching too much....

You may have a fungal infection in the groin area. In addition to using Itchguard cream, I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream twice daily on the affected area for 2 weeks. Keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting clothes, and avoid scratching to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

Can i use cloben g cream for fungal infection on skin and private parts? Is it steroidal? Or suggest me any better topical anti fungal  cream for fungal infection. Some times its very itchy and i am unable to sleep also

Clotrimazole is an antifungal medication, while Beclomethasone is a corticosteroid. It is not recommended to use steroid-containing creams for fungal infections without a doctor's prescription, as they can sometimes worsen the infection or cause other side effects. For fungal infections on the skin and private parts, I recommend using Terbinafine cream. You can apply Terbinafine cream twice a day on the affected areas. It is a potent antifungal medication that can help relieve itching and treat the fungal infection effectively. Remember to keep the affected areas clean and dry, and avoid tight clothing to promote healing.

Medication such as antibiotics combined with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid may be required in your condition. You can try to reduce heat in your body by incorporating cooling foods in your diet such as cucumber, watermelon, coconut water, and leafy greens.

Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting clothing, and avoid sugary foods that can worsen yeast infections. If the symptoms persist, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

Sir i just want to know how can i get rid of blade cut marks on my arm. If plastic surgery is the only option then how much this treatment would cost approximately.

To get rid of blade cut marks on your arm, you can consider using topical silicone gel sheets such as Strataderm. Apply a thin layer over the scar twice daily for at least 60-90 days for best results. Additionally, you can use Mederma cream which contains onion extract and allantoin to help improve the appearance of scars. It is important to apply these products consistently for several months to see noticeable improvement. If the scars are deep and extensive, you may consider consulting a dermatologist for other treatment options such as laser therapy or steroid injections. However, the cost of plastic surgery or other treatments can vary depending on the severity of the scars, the type of procedure needed, and the location of the clinic.

I am 24 years old female having allergy on face for last 2 days. I have applied lotus sunscreen with SPF 40 on my face after that i have suffered with itching or allergy. suggest me it is good to take Avil or levoceterizian?

-It’s possible that the sunscreen triggered the allergy. Both Avil and Levocetirizine can help with itching, but Levocetirizine is usually preferred as it's less sedating. If symptoms persist or worsen, consider consulting a doctor for a proper assessment.

Hello, I recently notices there are round dark brown round spots occured on my both armpit areas. it is not itchy but it is slowly spreading around . pls tell me what it os and suggest gud medications. Thanks.

-It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition like acanthosis nigricans, which causes dark, thickened skin in certain areas, including the armpits. It’s best to see a doctor to confirm the diagnosis, but keeping the area clean, using gentle skincare, and managing weight (if applicable) can help.

-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.

For better results, consider using antifungal creams like Clotrimazole or Miconazole, which are effective and generally well-tolerated. Keep the area clean and dry, and if the burning persists or worsens, consult a doctor for a better-suited treatment. Avoid using strong products that might irritate the sensitive skin in that area.

-Retino A (0.05%) is effective for skin concerns, but long-term use can cause dryness, irritation, or increased sensitivity. It's fine to use it regularly, but ensure you take breaks and hydrate your skin. Consult with your dermatologist to assess if it’s still right for your skin after prolonged use.

I have been using skineal since I was 10 years, I stopped 2 years ago, but I realized that my naturally fair skin is dependent on the use of skineal and other lightening cream, so I want to stop using them and restore my natural skin colour.

stop using lightening creams and focus on a gentle skincare routine with moisturizing and sunscreen to protect and heal your skin. Be patient—your skin needs time to recover. If you notice irritation or uneven tone, consult a dermatologist for personalized guidance.

Yes, Candid B cream can help treat jock itch as it contains antifungal and anti-inflammatory agents. Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin twice daily. Keep the area clean and dry, but it’s not mandatory to leave it exposed after applying the cream—just avoid tight clothing to allow airflow and prevent moisture buildup.

Use KZ lotion on your scalp—apply it, leave it for 3-5 minutes, and then rinse off. For Candid-B, apply a thin layer only on the rash-affected areas of your scalp, twice daily, unless told otherwise. Keep both away from your eyes, and if irritation happens, let your doctor know.

I wanted to know the best lotion for dandruff. Please tell whether I have to use Topisal lotion or D'free lotion . Try give me just the best out of the 2 lotions. Benefits of both and which is best for better results.

For dandruff, **Topisal lotion** (salicylic acid-based) is great if you have thick flakes or scalp buildup, as it exfoliates and reduces scaling. **D'Free lotion** (ketoconazole-based) is better if dandruff is due to fungal infections, as it targets the root cause. If your dandruff is mild and itchy, go with D'Free for better long-term results. For severe scaling, start with Topisal and then switch to D'Free.

As i m 27 yrs of age , i still dont have Beard. The moustache is slightly visible but Beard is still not growing. Can you kindly tell me , is it any serious problem and how can i overcome these ???

Not having a full beard at 27 is usually not a serious problem. Genetics play a major role in facial hair growth. Some men naturally have less facial hair due to lower levels of androgens or hair follicle sensitivity. To encourage growth, you could try improving your diet, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly. Minoxidil (under medical guidance) and biotin supplements are sometimes recommended but consult a dermatologist to explore safe options for you.

I have been asked to use dermadew soap for my fairness. I am a 19 year old girl and I have extremely sensitive skin. Is this my best option? Are there other alternatives?

Dermadew soap can help with hydration and mild skin brightening, but for sensitive skin, it's essential to do a patch test first to avoid irritation. Gentle products with calming ingredients like aloe vera or oatmeal might suit you better. Avoid harsh soaps and focus on sunscreen, as sun protection is crucial for even skin tone and sensitivity management.

I am 20 year old female and I have been using BETNOVATE CREAM regularly for fairness and acne. My family doctor told me not to use it so often. What are the side effects of long term use? Are there better drugs that I can use?

Long-term use of Betnovate cream, a strong steroid, can cause skin thinning, increased acne, pigmentation changes, and may worsen skin issues over time. It's best to stop regular use and consult a dermatologist for safer options, like non-steroid creams, retinoids, or other acne treatments suited to your skin.

Long-term use of skin-lightening creams like Skin Lite can cause skin damage and rebound darkening. Stop using the cream completely and avoid sun exposure by using sunscreen (SPF 30+). Keep your skin moisturized with gentle, fragrance-free creams. Consult a dermatologist for proper treatment, such as medications or therapies to repair and even out your skin.
