Dear ma'am, we are aware of 4 options as far as skin whitening treatments are concerned, and they are as follows:
Chemical peel (Rs. 1,800-5,500): in this treatment a solution containing alpha-hydroxy acid will be applied to your skin, which in turn will exfoliate the damaged upper layers of your skin and combat the melanin build up, to reveal healthy tissue beneath, this solution concentrate can be light, medium or deep, and will also work effectively on blemishes, dark spots and uneven skin tone.
Laser (Rs. 4,000-30,000): This procedure will make use of a concentrated light beam to minimize melanin content in your skin. Leaving your skin healthier and brighter than before, it will also help you overcome tanning and dark spots.
Injections (Rs. 6,000-40,000): they can detoxify the body, protect the skin from harmful UV rays and enhance your skin tone. It will use a dosage of glutathione however, which can detoxify the body and serve as barrier against harmful UV rays too, but however, they can be unsafe and have severe side effects as well.
Skin lightening products (Rs. 200-20,000: This option will provide you with a wide range of creams with bleaching properties for you to choose from. These are good for instant gratification but may not deliver long lasting results. You may have to approach a highly experienced dermatologist to avail above treatments, you may refer from our list of dermatologists in India to get more information.

I think I have herpes what should I do

Male | 22

Herpes is a common virus. It causes itchy, painful sores. These blisters often appear around your mouth or private parts. You can get it through close contact. Herpes may seem bad, but doctors can give you antiviral medicine. Using protection during sex helps prevent spreading it too. Good hygiene habits are also key.

Female | 25

It sounds like you may be dealing with a persistent skin issue, which could be an infection or another dermatological condition. The bleeding and itching indicate that it requires professional examination. Avoid any irritation and refrain from scratching the area, as this could worsen it. Please consider consulting a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plan. They can provide effective options to promote healing and alleviate discomfort.

I'm 16 years old having excessive sweaty feet and palms everytime

Male | 16

Profuse sweating of the palms and soles of the feet is called hyperhidrosis (primary focal hyperhidrosis). Genes, hormones, nervousness, or stress can cause it. Although the condition might sometimes be discomforting, it is often nothing to be worried about. To control this, put on moisture-absorbing socks, use antiperspirants that are invented for hands and feet, and practice deep breathing techniques, which reduce the impact of stress, and decrease sweating. Maintaining proper hydration levels also helps to regulate temperature. Should the situation persist or significantly affect your daily operations, then consult a dermatologist.

Increased perspiration in the hands and feet can result from various factors, including stress, hormonal changes, or an underlying medical condition. This condition, known as hyperhidrosis, is common and manageable. Lifestyle modifications like wearing breathable fabrics and practicing relaxation techniques can help. Over-the-counter antiperspirants or prescription options may also be beneficial. If symptoms persist or worsen, please consider consulting a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

I have skin ache for almost a week and it mostly start at night. When ever I scratch it the place will swollen a little and some turn to wound. I have applied different oilment but it only reliefs and continue the next day. Kindly advise

Male | 37

You might be having eczema, a skin condition. Eczema can lead your skin to get itchy, swell up, and be susceptible to wounds when scratched. This condition can aggravate at night due to the temperature and humidity changes. The ointments can give a momentary comfort, but it is crucial to recognize the triggers like some soaps or foods. Use a mild, unscented moisturizer and scratch less to avoid further irritation. If the symptoms do not go away, then it is better to see a dermatologist who can assess and manage the problem properly.

Female | 17

Acne occurs when skin pores get clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Accutane (isotretinoin) is a strong medication used to treat severe acne by controlling sebum production. However, it can have serious side effects, so it's important to talk to a dermatologist. They can help you weigh the pros and cons and decide if it's the right option for you.

I am 34 yrs old female and I have acne and acne marks problem on my face - recently my face has been very dry and acne is coming also I have tight white pores issue which is making my skin look very dull and uneven.

Female | 34

As you are 34 years old, there might be some hormonal issues leading to acne. Consult local dermatologist for treatment who might prescribe you some topical antibiotics benzoyl peroxide or daplin or oral drugs depending upon the situation. It is advisable to use moisturizers, particularly water-based that do not uproot the pores because medication usage might result in dryness and little irritation. Your Skin will be much better after the treatment for Acne.

My roommate has said she had a cold sore for the last two days. And I’m a bit worried. She gave me a piece of food that she bit off of and offered me and also a drink (I didn’t drink off the straw, rather just our the cup) I’m a bit nervous, I’m not sure if she had an outbreak during those times but it was about two / three days ago. Could herpes be spread in that way? (I definitely could be uneducated but just a bit nervous)

Female | 20

Cold sores result from the herpes simplex virus spread by close contact such as kissing or sharing eating utensils. Nonetheless, passing herpes through sharing food or drinks is very unlikely. Signs may commence with a tingling sensation and itching feeling then develop into blisters on the lips or around the mouth. To avoid contracting herpes simplex virus, refrain from sharing cutlery and glasses besides washing hands often.

Male | 22

You might have a fungal infection in your private parts, known as the ringworm. The condition is characterized by itching, redness, and a ring-like rash occurring in warm moist places. It may get worse when one is sweating. Antifungal creams or powders can be used to treat it. Additionally, keep the affected area clean and dry for quick healing. Visit a dermatologist if the condition persists.

Sir/ madam I have acne and dark spots problem My skin type is oily acne prone and I have dandruff also and i have forehead acne Please I need your help to resolve it

Female | 19

Acne is a result of an obstruction of hair follicles due to oil and dead cells. Oily skin is even aggravating the acne. The scalp dandruff might be causing the acne on the forehead. I suggest washing your face with a non-comedogenic cleanser, applying oil-free moisturizers, and consulting a dermatologist to get the most appropriate treatment.

Female | 26

Treatment for this would be -

Botox for the wrinkles

Along with an anti aging cream with Hyaluronic acid gel

Finally would suggest dermal filler for the deep or sunken under eye.

PRP and CO2 Non ablative laser is also an option but multiple sessions would be needed for the wrinkles. You can also visit a dermatologist near your place or have a video consultation with best dermatologist in Indiranagar. Hope this answer helps you.

Hi,my self Bhargav, Recently I observed small holes under the pennies, when I press that holes, white and black substance coming outside, initially i thought like these are formed by hair grow.

Male | 29

You may have folliculitis, which is a common skin condition. This occurs when the hair follicles become infected with bacteria. The holes you can see are where the infection is coming out; this may contain pus hence the white and black things you mentioned. Clean the affected area regularly and use warm compresses too. However, if it’s too uncomfortable for you then visit a dermatologist.

What to do to get rid of pimples on my face

Female | 23

When your skin's tiny holes get blocked by oil and dead cells, red bumps appear. Pimples can bring pain. To get rid of pimples, wash your face twice with a gentle face wash. Don't pick or squeeze them. Use products with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. These can help. Keep hair clean. Don't touch your face often. Eat healthy foods. Drink lots of water. If pimples still won't go, see a dermatologist.

Female | 23

Usually, they’re a sign of a common skin condition called eczema. Itchy red spots on the skin are the most common symptoms. Clothing that is too tight and sitting for long periods can make it worse. Ways to help include wearing loose clothing, keeping your skin moisturized, and not scratching it. If the itchiness doesn’t improve, it’s a good idea to talk to a dermatologist.

Female | 15

The presence of a white fluid near your tonsil could indicate an infection, such as a tonsillitis or a build-up of mucus. It's often accompanied by symptoms like sore throat, difficulty swallowing, or swollen glands. To alleviate discomfort, maintain hydration and consider gargling warm salt water. Good oral hygiene can also be beneficial. However, please remember that it's essential to consult a ENT specialist for an accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment. They can provide guidance and ensure you receive the care needed for a thorough recovery.

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.
