Which oil is best for face?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Usage of oil on face depends on skin type. In persons with oily skin, additional application of oil must be avoided to prevent clogging of pores. In persons with dry or flaky skin, any natural oils may be used in moderation to mosturize the skin. Coconut oil, almond oil are some of the natural oils which are good for skin.

View allI'm a 17-year-old who's sexually active and I'm a bit worried about something weird going on. I've noticed more and more small red dots on my penis, and though they don't hurt or itch, if I pinch them, they bleed a tiny bit and feel raw afterward. I had an accident a couple of weeks ago where I cut my foot on a rusty nail, but it seems fine with no infection. I'm on a school trip right now, so seeing a doctor isn't easy. Could this be something serious that I should get checked out? It's just strange because it started with only a few dots and now there are lots more all over the head and foreskin, and it's only been three days. Any idea what this could be?
That could be STD visit dermatologist as soon as possible for evaluation and appropriate management,refrain from sexual activity untill you are recovered.

I've been living near Darjeeling, and just recently, I returned from a short trip to my hometown Nashik. Since coming back, I've noticed these dark patches around my waist and underarms. What could be causing this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called acanthosis nigricans, which is characterized by dark, velvety patches of skin. This can be caused by various factors such as obesity, insulin resistance, hormonal disorders, or certain medications. To help improve this condition, you can try using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, retinoids, or azelaic acid to lighten the dark patches. Additionally, maintaining a healthy weight through diet and exercise can also be beneficial. I recommend using a cream like Melalite Forte cream twice daily on the affected areas for 8-12 weeks. Make sure to apply a thin layer and avoid sun exposure on the treated areas. If the dark patches persist or worsen, it is best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
