Answered by Samruddhi Bhartiya

All acne is caused by clogged pores, but non-inflammatory acne doesnt has bacteria in it and is not situated deeper within the pores either. When oil, bacteria, and other foreign substances get caught deeper within your pores, your body’s natural defense is to produce pus. In short, pus filled acne indicates the presence of bacteria.
For inflammatory acne treatment, you have the following options:
Over-the-counter drugs: use skincare products that have Benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid.
Appropriate skincare regime: Wash your face in the morning and night, wear oil-free moisturizer once you are done washing your face, and wear sunscreen as the final step of your skincare routine. And please don't scratch or pop them.
If you don't find changes even after several months of following these steps, then reach out to an expert: they will have topical retinoids, isotretinoin, oral antibiotics, topical antibiotics, and hormonal medications, or even advanced clinical treatments.
Please do not use any home remedial solution: because what we have observed so far is, that people apply seemingly healthy ingredients to their skin, without knowing how to extract the right chemicals from them, or what their chemical composition actually is, or how same could react with their skin post-application.
Just because your skin feels cool/smooth after applying them, doesn't mean that they worked.

Itching only on left side particular side only

Female | 34

When the itching is only on one side of your body, it might mean that something is irritant your skin. Occasionally, allergies or dermatitis that is caused by eczema can be the reasons for that. Moreover, nerve disorders or infections may be the causes. Look if you have any rashes or skin discoloration. Try to refrain from scratching as it may cause an infection. The application of a light moisturizer or a calm cream can give some relief.

Male | 32

You sound as if you have had ongoing cold symptoms, and you have also realized that your neck has turned pink and red due to exposure to the cold. These sorts of changes could occur because of a number of factors such as an allergic reaction, irritation, or possibly an infection. It is a good sign that you do not feel uncomfortable, though I would still recommend you to visit a dermatologist for an overall examination. They will give you the right treatment and direct you to the available medications.

Female | 2

The thought of the child of your friend swallowing the capsule should not be a cause of much worry. More often than not, these are pure nutrient capsules, so the threat may be relatively minor. The signs might be something like mild upset of the stomach, the child might also experience nausea. Monitor the child for any possible adverse reactions. Tell the parent to give the child quite a few drinks and await for any discomfort.

Is small white spots on whole face a sign of deficiency in some nutrients

Female | 46

Spots on the face could be a sign of a disease, called vitiligo, associated with white color. This occurs when melanocytes, the cells which produce pigmentation in the skin, are destroyed by the immune system. The best option is to go to a dermatologist who has a lot of experience in the management of patients with vitiligo.

Male | 17

Vitiligo is a skin condition in which white patches appear on your skin due to the loss of pigment cells. You are applying Melbild lotion and Tacroz Forte, which can contribute to the pigmentation process on your skin. If you are not seeing any improvements after 6 months, you should probably consider discussing other treatment options with your dermatologist. Unfortunately, there is no remedy for white hair, but you can try using hair dyes to cover them up.

Mere scalp me 1yrs se papdi padh rhi hai aur Mein selsun shampoo lagati Hu but Kuch asar nhi hai to Kya lagaya

Female | 15

This could be seborrheic dermatitis, a condition causing red, flaky patches. Regular dandruff shampoos may not cut it here. Try using a medicated shampoo with ketoconazole or coal tar instead. If that pesky rash sticks around, it's smart to chat with a dermatologist. They can properly check it out and suggest treatments to make that rash hit the road.

Hi, is it ok to stop clarithromycin after 6 days of taking it? twice a day 500mg , and nothing improved, I was told to take it for 10 days.

Female | 39

If you have been on clarithromycin for six days and still do not feel any better, it is essential to continue your treatment plan. Typically, bacterial infections require the use of an entire course of antibiotics to eliminate the germs. Early stopping can result in the infection coming back stronger. Give it some more time and keep taking the medication as prescribed to help your body heal. If you're still not seeing any improvements after the full 10 days, it might be a good idea to talk to your dermatologist to discuss the next steps.

Female | 28

Achieving a beautiful, glowing skin tone before your wedding involves a combination of skincare and lifestyle practices. Consider incorporating the following steps:
Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin well-hydrated, which contributes to a natural glow.
Skincare Routine: Follow a consistent skincare routine that includes cleansing, toning, moisturizing, and sun protection. Consider using products with ingredients like vitamin C for brightening effects.
Chemical Peels: Consult with a dermatologist about chemical peels. These treatments can help remove dead skin cells, improve skin texture, and promote a radiant complexion.
Microdermabrasion: This exfoliation technique can contribute to smoother and more luminous skin by removing the top layer of dead skin cells.
Healthy Diet: Consume a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and antioxidants. These nutrients support overall skin health.
Avoid Sun Damage: Protect your skin from harmful UV rays by using sunscreen with adequate SPF. Sun exposure can contribute to darkening of the skin.
Before considering any treatments, consult with a dermatologist who can assess your skin type and recommend personalized solutions.

I am 54 and have had a swollen, red, itchy, scaly skin leg from the knee to the toes. I’ve been to the doctor 3 times and they checked for a blood clot and ran tests. No clots. Tried 2 different antibiotics that were prescribed and no change. Icing doesn’t change. Elevation doesn’t change. Compression socks doesn’t change it either. Resting it doesn’t help either.

Male | 54

It seems that you have a resistant skin problem on your leg. The redness, swelling, itching and flakiness could indicate different illnesses such as dermatitis or eczema. After excluding blood clots and failure of antibiotics treatment, it might be helpful to have them checked more thoroughly by a dermatologist. They can suggest different kind of therapy which will be more efficient taking into account the exact nature of the disease.

I am 21 years old female student unmarried I have pimples on my labia majora for two weeks

Female | 21

It seems to be a specific example of the ailment you are facing, which might be due to irritation, hormonal changes, or mild infections. Pimples in the pubic area can be borne also because of hygiene measures or clothes rubbing. Keeping the area clean and avoiding harsh soaps is important. Wearing clothing that can breathe and trying to limit the number of irritants you have are also possible alternatives. If you see the bumps and they don't go away, get more painful or you find an unusual discharge, it's better to contact a dermatologist.

A fungal infection seems present between your legs and private parts. Warm, moist environments allow fungal infections to occur. Itching, redness, and rashes are common symptoms. Antifungal cream from your pharmacist can treat it. Keeping the area clean and dry is crucial. Avoid tight clothing too. Consult a dermatologist if it persists.

Male | 58

When it comes to ingesting a liquid not meant for internal use, it may be harmful. There are some side effects such as stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, or dizziness. These symptoms are a result of the tongue quickly absorbing the substances. Please immediately visit a doctor if you notice any of these symptoms. It's crucial to let the doctors know about the mistake, and they will give you the right treatment.

Male | 15

It sounds like you may have a minor wound in your ear canal that is irritating the area. The clear liquid you're seeing could be a natural part of the healing process, but continual irritation and removal may delay healing and cause discomfort. I recommend avoiding inserting fingers or other objects into your ear to prevent further injury. Keeping the area clean and dry is essential. If the bleeding or discharge persists, or if you experience pain or loss of hearing, please consult a ENT specialist for a thorough evaluation and appropriate treatment.

If you're dealing with oily skin, acne, pigmentation, or other skin issues, I recommend using "The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%" serum. This product helps reduce sebum production and acne occurrence. For moisturizing, try "Cetaphil Oil Control Moisturizer SPF 30" to keep your pores clear. You might also like "Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash," which is gentle on skin affected by impurities. To protect your skin from sun damage, apply "CeraVe Ultra-Light Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30."

Iron deficiency may cause iron deficiency anemia. Pale skin is a result. But black or patchy areas on the neck's front might signal something else. A medical professional should diagnose and treat correctly. Discuss symptoms with a dermatologist for proper guidance.
