Dermatology

Answered by Samruddhi Bhartiya

For OTC creams, try using creams following ingredients:
Hydroquinone.
Licorice extract.
N-acetylglucosamine.
Vitamin B-3 (niacinamide)

Based on the extent to which your acne & spots are raised, you can explore options such as:
Laser treatment: Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 22,000
Microdermabrasion: Rs. 1500 to Rs. 6000
Chemical peels: Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 10,000 per session
They can be performed on people of all skin types, but if you have any other skin condition such as pigmentation/etc, then there might be some complications.
The actual cost can exceed the estimated range, because of factors like location/experience of the clinician, severity of concern, number of sessions, area covered, and value-added services.

For every procedure or treatment option mentioned above, discuss following things with your doctor:
Risks and compensation.
Pre-operative measures and post-operative care.
Eligibility criteria.
Bearing of past/current medical issues on your overall experience and recovery.
Taking your skin tone, severity of concern and budget constraints into consideration, your dermatologist will work out the best treatment plan for you - For every treatment except OTC cream, you would require dermatologist guidance, refer this page to find exceptionally good doctors - Dermatologists.

I am 27 years old and yesterday I just did fat burner on my double chin and nose thread. Today my face swelling so bad. I couldn’t even open my mouth properly. My beautician gave me 2 types of medication. She ask me to take this medication to reduce swelling : 3 tablets of beazyme and 2 capsules of amoxicillin (0.5g) consume at once. Is this okay to take this dose at the same time?

Female | 27

Swelling after such procedures can be explained by the human body's natural reaction to the treatment. The doses your beautician recommended are likely to be too high to take at once. It is very important to schedule the doses of the medicine at the proper time and take only what is prescribed by a doctor to lower the chances of any complications. If the swelling stays the same or worsens, go to a dermatologist.

I’m Aryan Soma, age-21. I am having severe acne/cysts problem. I have visited many dermatologist. But it didn’t worked now because of my tablets and all. Im having a hairfall issue which I can’t bare. Im here to ask you? Do you have a permanent solution for this with quick results like laser treatment.

Male | 21

Acne cysts are the most severe form of acne which need immediate attention for they may lead to permanent acne scars. Intralesional corticosteroid injections are given into the acne nodules and cysts are drained for faster resolution of nodules and cysts. Diagnosing and treatment of underlying cause is essential to resolve the acne. Oral retinoids are to be recommended in your case. If hair fall is an issue, Dermatologist may recommend blood tests like serum ferritin, vitamin B12, TSH, vitamin D etc which may be the cause of hair fall. Using the right hair supplements with doctor’s prescription according to the deficiencies, may help treat the hair fall concern. Topical solutions containing Capixyl, Minoxidil etc are also recommended to control hair shedding and promote hair growth.

Vitiligo is a condition in which white patches of the skin are formed. The cause is the absence of a substance called melanin, which gives skin its color. It's not, however, painful or contagious.

Female | 24

White spots on your leg may arise from various factors, including fungal infections, eczema, or vitiligo. These spots can often be harmless but may indicate an underlying condition. It's essential to monitor any accompanying symptoms, such as itching or changes in size. To address this, maintain good skin hygiene and consider using moisturizers. However, I strongly encourage scheduling an appointment with a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation.

Male | 20

Hair fall can be caused by stress, nutritional deficiencies, or hormonal imbalances. Dryness and darkness on the face may be due to lack of hydration, excessive sun exposure, or certain skin conditions. As for your private part size, it's important to remember that size can vary and doesn't necessarily indicate any health issues. To address these concerns, I recommend staying hydrated, eating a balanced diet, using sunscreen, and consulting with an urologist for personalized advice.

I am 27 year old female . For past 2 days , I had a red slightly swollen pimple in my armpit & today I woke with lot of pain & swelling around that area ( I usually shave my underarms but this never happened before ) What medicine should I apply or take ?

Female | 27

You have an infected hair follicle in your armpit, causing pain and swelling. This often happens when bacteria enter small cuts from shaving. Applying a warm compress on the area a few times a day can help reduce the swelling. You can also use an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment to clean the area and speed up healing. If the pain and swelling don’t improve or worsen, visit a dermatologist.
