Acne and pimple. Black spot

Answered on 24th Apr '24

Acne and pimples are skin problems many people deal with. Sometimes, after acne clears up, dark spots remain. These spots are called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. They happen when your skin produces too much melanin due to inflammation. To help reduce these spots, keep your skin clean and avoid picking or squeezing pimples. Using products with retinoids, vitamin C, or hydroquinone may gradually lighten the spots. Wear sunscreen to prevent the spots from darkening further.

I'm 28 years and suffering from PCOD. I have thick hair in chin, neck and chest. I usually use the epilator to remove the hairs but after 7-10 days, it regrows back. Can you please suggest ways to rid of it permanently?

Answered on 10th Feb '24

Laser treatment is one of the most commonly suggested options for permanent hair removal in PCOD-related hirsutism. The process attacks hair follicles and over the long run reduces hair growth. Several sessions may be required for the best results. It’s essential to keep managing PCOD with lifestyle modifications, medications, and regular appointments with a physician to target this hormonal imbalance causing hypertrichosis.

I have (in the last 24 hours) developed unusual blisters on my hands, fingers, nose, and cheek. Two mornings ago I woke up with a fever and chills (it has since subsided) and took Advil to help, but after two rounds of taking it, I noticed the bottle was a few years expired--perhaps this is related?

Answered on 29th Jan '24

In the past 24 hours, if you have developed strange blisters around your hands, fingers cheek and nose then it is necessary to see a dermatologist. However, even if the expired Advil has no connection to the blisters, it is still essential never to take any medication after its expiration date. Seek specialized medical care in case your condition does not improve.
