Severe dryness on face? My face is very sensitive

Dermatology

Answered by Dr. Archit Aggarwal

Dryness on the face can happen due to various reasons, like harsh weather, using products with irritating ingredients, or even certain skin conditions. It's essential to be gentle with your skin. Try using a mild, fragrance-free moisturizer and avoiding hot water while washing your face. Also, make sure to drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside. If the dryness persists, it's a good idea to see a dermatologist who can recommend specific treatments tailored to your skin's needs.

I hve some acne scars..want to remove these..these are popped pimple scars

Male | 16

Pimple scars can seem annoying, but there are ways to treat them. These scars form when your skin heals after popping a pimple. The scars look like dark spots or uneven texture. To help fade scars, try products containing retinol or vitamin C. Always use sunscreen too since sun exposure can worsen scars. It takes time, but be patient and caring towards your skin.

Male | 32

Sunburn can happen when your skin gets too much sunlight. It may feel red, hot, and painful. To cool the sunburn, you can try putting cool cloths and aloe vera gel on your skin. Avoid sun exposure until your skin has healed. Drink plenty of water to help your skin recover faster. Always use sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun.

I piercing my ear 5 month ago but my piercing not healing fully

Female | 31

On some occasions, if you touch it frequently or you don't clean it the proper way, discomfort may result. Reddish color, swelling skin, pus, and pain are among such infections. Clean it carefully though and follow a saline solution application as well as keep the ring in place to avoid this complication. If it is not getting better consult a dermatologist.

Hi, I am a girl of 19 years old. My boyfriend has given me a love bite on my breast and on back. I wanted to ask if this is normal? As I am feeling a bit sick and feverish. I want to know if this is okay to feel such way? For more information, earlier when i got a love bite, it was on neck and i faced neck infection. I had neck swelling. It got okay after medications though. But I want to know if there are chances for swelling this time too? Something like this? Or will it be okay with time and nothing will happen? Please clear. Thanks

Female | 19

A love bite can cause fever and sickness, it's normal. Your boyfriend's bite on the breast and back may have let bacteria enter broken skin. This causes infection - swelling and tenderness. Clean the area, use warm compress, take pain meds if needed. But if pus appears or symptoms worsen, get medical help right away.

Male | 21

You've been dealing with ringworm for a long time. Ringworm is a common fungus infection that can appear in different parts of your skin and cause red, itchy, circular rashes. Furthermore, while the drug takes away the discomfort, returning too soon may lead to a relapse. Regularly washing your clothes and bedding will also help limit the infection.

Female | 28

Acne is a skin condition characterized by red pimples or “zits”. These occur when hair follicles are clogged with oil and dead skin cells. The swollen and tender pimples may or may not have pus. Mild washing of the face with a gentle cleanser is recommended. Over-the-counter acne treatment creams or gels can help address the issue, too. A dermatologist can offer more advice on dealing with such skin problems if they are a source of concern for you.

Female | 19

If you have strawberry legs after hair removal technique or shaving your hair and specially when you don't want to go for laser hair removal then cleaning your hairs/legs with betadine or savlon before shaving and after shaving apply after-shave, betadine or savlon and then applying anti-inflammatory cream containing mild steroids and antibiotic might help to reduce the chances of strawberry legs. If the problem persists then please visit dermatologist.

I have itching few days ago on my shoulder area and now the part is totally dark and dry and itchy and it's spreading too so what cream I should use to get rid of this problem and pigmentation.

Female | 19

This skin condition is about dryness, darkening, and itching in the shoulder area. You can eliminate these conditions by partaking in various at-home treatments such as doing exercises, eliminating dairy products from your diet, or using an air purifier. Get rid of the spots by using a hydroquinone cream that is prescribed by a doctor or get the spots removed that way. Nevertheless, you cannot take the first step unless it is the Dermatologist who gives you a formal diagnosis to allow you to use some prescription treatment that experts usually prescribe or non-prescription medication.
