Hi. I have dark brown dots on my forehead and cheeks bones. I have been using vitamin c and la roche-posay effaclar duo with +M. But the dots are not going. It has 3 years I had. What can I use to get rid of brown dark dots on my face.
Answered on 13th May '24
The appearance of dark spots is due to a certain part of the skin producing excessive pigmentation. Except to stop vitamin C and products like La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo from helping, one those treatments can be the chemical peels and laser therapy.

I am 18 yeras old.. I actually ate cheetos but the packet was kept open for 2 days in the cupboard..
Answered on 13th May '24
If you have eaten Cheetos from a bag open for 2 days, you might get a sore stomach, feel sick, or have diarrhea. The reason for this is that when food is left out it gets covered in bacteria. The best way to help yourself is by drinking plenty of fluids such as water or squash eating plain things like toast and rice then resting If your condition deteriorates, visit a gastroenterologist.

I am a 24 year old girl who has undergone culture test frequently and taken medication but I’m still itchy In my perineum and it looks whitish . I’ve also applied steroid creams. Today I came back from a long trip and my liner was soaked with discharge and some of it looks like chunky cheese
Answered on 10th May '24
It appears that you could be dealing with a yeast infection. Yeast is a type of germ that can cause itching, white discharge and sometimes looks like chunky cheese. Taking antibiotics or wearing tight clothes can sometimes cause yeast infections. You can try using over-the-counter antifungal creams for a few weeks to see if it helps. In addition, wearing loose cotton clothes and avoiding scented products in that area may also help. If the condition persists, you can visit a dermatologist.

I am 37 years old female suffering from sticky skin syndrome .my whole skin becomes sticky.i am not getting any treatment bcoz doctors are clueless about this condition.i don't know emwhich redirection create this symptoms.i need help doctor who can treat me in india
Answered on 10th May '24
This could be a case of hyperhidrosis, a condition where the body produces more sweat than normal. Sticky skin may also occur in humid weather or when one is sweating excessively. You can try using antiperspirants or powders to keep the skin dry. Drink plenty of water and put on loose-fitting clothes made from breathable materials. If the stickiness persists, it would be best to consult with a dermatologist who will provide personalized advice and treatment options.

Answered on 6th May '24
It is important for young adults. It is also important to be aware that skin can become dark because of factors like inherited genes, exposure to the sun, or hormonal imbalances. Taking a lot of water, eating well, and using sunscreen can be helpful if you want to lighten up your skin tone. Always use a mild soap when washing your face consider gentle cleansers and moisturizers. In case, there is no improvement visit a dermatologist who will help guide you on what should be done next since everyone’s skin is not the same as the other person's.

It seems like an allergic reaction is happening to your skin. When your body dislikes something, this is possible. Redness may appear on your face and body. Examples are; specific foods, materials, or creams that could have caused it. Avoiding known triggers and using gentle skincare products could help. Seeking further guidance can be necessary from a dermatologist in severe cases.

I noticed a growth around my private part but not my penis but within the layers below the penis region , and I visited a pharmacist and I was told I had genital wart . Also told to use a cream called podophyllin cream , I will like to know how long the wart stays in the body and also if it doesn’t cause cancer or diseases like hiv or aids
Answered on 2nd May '24
Small flesh bumps down there are caused by a virus called HPV. The virus can stay in your body for a long time. But medicine like podophyllin cream can treat the bumps. Your pharmacist will guide you on using the cream. The bumps do not cause cancer, HIV, or AIDS. But you may see small, flesh-colored bumps in your private parts. Be sure to follow the cream use instructions carefully. Keep using the cream until the bumps go away. If you have more worries or questions, talk to a dermatologist.

I'm 19 years old and i has phimosis.So can you suggest me some good creams for treating it
Answered on 2nd May '24
Phimosis means the skin on the penis won't pull back. It can make it hard to pee or hurt when you have sex. It may happen if you get a yeast infection or other skin problems. A dermatologist can give you creams like steroids to help. Keeping under the skin clean helps too. But if it doesn't get better, you may need surgery.

Hi, I'm having dark spots on hands and legs which are caused by wounds. Please suggest me any cream to get rid off them
Answered on 2nd May '24
It looks like you have a skin problem called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This happens when your skin makes too much color after a cut or bruise. This causes dark spots. To make the dark spots go away, you can use a cream with ingredients like vitamin C, kojic acid, or licorice extract. It may take some time for the spots to fade away. And make sure to stay out of the sun to stop the spots from getting darker. If the problem persists, visit a dermatologist.

I am a 39 year old woman and am having an issue with my skin on my chin for the last 2 weeks. After friction from making out with someone new. He did not have a beard. Maybe slight stubble but really not noticeable. My skin became raw and I put Vaseline on it and neosporin. After about a week acne started appearing. I changed my regimen to a salicylic acid ointment and moisturizer. It seems to help a bit but not a lot. My skin is less raw but still splotchy and red with acne. I have not ever struggled with skin issues. Should I keep up the acne treatment? Should I do something else? It peels and is uncomfortable (it stings with the ointment but once it dries it doesn’t hurt but it does bother me). I’m traveling in Brazil now but am from the US. Any help appreciated before I head home! I plan to see a dermatologist PA when I get back.
Answered on 29th Apr '24
Your skin seems irritated by friction. The rawness, redness, and acne result from that. Using salicylic acid ointment helps acne. Continue applying it. Gently wash your skin, moisturize too. Consult a dermatologist for guidance.
