I am 23 years old I have sun tan since 3 years and darkness on my face, my body is fair and face is dark, I have tried clean ups in salon but those don't work

Answered by Samruddhi Bhartiya

Dermatologists and spas/saloons carry a different approach towards skin and hair care, spa/saloon treatments can be short lived and the results delivered may just be for instant gratification as opposed to solutions that go skin deep, if they didn't work then dermatologists may help.
There are 4 tan removal treatments as stated below:
Laser toning: laser device is used for the purpose of breaking pigment down and reducing tan, sun spots, etc.
Chemical Peel: which enables regeneration of newer & healthier skin cells, by removing tanned layers of outer skin.
Microdermabrasion: In this, the outer most layer of your skin is removed and rejuvenated, using a compact hand held device.
Creams/face pack/face wash: Results last for comparatively lesser amount of time but can be used for regular application as well, and tanning can affect even deeper layers of your skin which these products may not be able to reach.
Treatments other than creams & products, will cost between Rs. 4,000 to Rs. 10,000, depending on various factors such as expertise of doctor, equipment type, and location of clinic.

Want best Fever lip blisters ointment. Don't want to eat medicine. I'm pregnant.

Female | 40

If you happen to have a high fever with lip blisters and during pregnancy you can't use medicine, rest easy. These come from a virus mostly. Try petroleum jelly ointments or aloe vera to help in wound healing and to keep the area moist. Also, press a cold pack a couple of times a day. Don't forget to drink lots of water and have enough sleep for the body to strengthen and overpower the virus.

How to remove blade cut mark

Male | 20

To avoid blade cut marks, a new wound should be kept clean and properly covered to minimize scars. When healed, apply scar treatment cream or silicon gel sheets regularly to reduce the appearance of scars. Do not expose the scar to sunlight because the UV rays darken it. For more severe or prominent scars it is necessary to refer them to the dermatologist for professional treatments such as laser therapy and microdermabrasion. For the situations with deep scarring, sometimes a cosmetic revisional surgery might be an option but it is always best to seek advice from a dermatologist on individual basis.

can bad hair affect your thinking or even hair grease/oil?

Male | 31

Your thought process will not be directly affected by having bad hair, oily hair, or even grease on it. But it might divert your attention if you don’t feel okay because of such problems. Hair becomes greasy when not washed frequently or much oil is used. To solve this problem, ensure you wash with mild shampoo now and then and minimize the number of hair products applied.

Hey ! Im A Teenagers 14-15 Year old My 80-90% Hair Are White/ Grey Please Help Me Same Thing Happens To my dad at teen age please Help Me Anyone Making Fun of Me in class

Male | 14

It is okay to have white or grey hair when you are young. Genetics is one of the main reasons this might happen. Ridiculing someone because of their hair color is not okay. Optionally, there are hair dyes that can even transform a light hair color into a completely different one.

Acne scarring may be frustrating for people, but a wide range of treatments exists to diminish their visibility.

Treatment for open pores

Female | 26

One of the most frequent concerns facing people is the openness of the pores. Open pores can cause rough and uneven skin. The causes of these pores usually include genetics, oiliness, sunburn, and even old age. One of the ways to decrease the face of open pores is to use salicylic acid or retinoids for day and night skin treatment. Regular cleansing of your face followed by application of sunscreen can also be helpful.

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.

I have oily skin and acne problem. The problem is that scars are not removed completely. Some are getting light but not removed completely. I recently heard about microdermabrasion for acne scars from one of my friends. Does it really work? I am 23 now. Does it have any side effects?

Female | 23

If you have oily skin and acne problem, sometimes if acne is severe they might burst or get infected or if you pick your acne too much they might result into scars. As per Dermatologist there are 5 types of scars which are commonly encountered. 
1. Ice Picks Scars: Very small in surface but deep and narrow below. 
2. Roll-Over Scars: Wide but borders are difficult to appreciate 
3. Box-car Scars: wide and borders can be easily appreciated. 
4. Open pores like Scars: Small Ice Pick Scars 
5. Hyper-trophic Scars: 
so the treatment for the scars depends upon the type of scars. Commonly treatment which are effective are TCA cross, subsition treatment, microneedling, microneedling radiofrequency, PRP treatment, CO2 Laser, RBM Glass laser and even dermal fillers. 
As you are 23 and you are asking about microdermabrasion, it removes superficial skin layers and it is effective only for superficial scars which are not very deep. This might require you multiple sessions like 8-10 sessions for it to work. Instead of Microdermabrasion you can go for microneedling, microneedling radiofrequency which will require less number of sessions and on top of it you can add PRP to it.
