Answered by Dr. Anju Methil

There are numerous reasons for pigmentation on the face, such as sun damage, hormonal changes or trauma. It is treatable if diagnosed by a dermatologist correctly. I recommend that you see a dermatologist who deals with hyperpigmentation. They can advise you on the best treatment option, whether it is topical creams, chemical peels or lasers, based on the severity of your condition.

How do I get rid of purple stretch marks on bum.

Female | 14

Stretch marks on the bum are pretty normal. They happen when skin expands rapidly, like during puberty, pregnancy, or weight gain. Basically, the marks form when deeper layers tear. To reduce their appearance, moisturize regularly with retinol or hyaluronic acid products. Proper nutrition and hydration can lend a hand too. Keep in mind, fading takes time, so stick with the routine patiently. The marks look purple at first, but gradually lighten over months.

I have been taking medicine for vitiligo since long time. Recently I changed my medicine to new medication and now vitiligo is started to spread aggressively. What is the reason ?

Male | 37

The new medicine might react abnormally. This could mean your vitiligo spread aggressively. Your doctor needs updates like these. Each person reacts differently, so treatment needs adjustments over time. Finding the right medication takes trial and error. Keep your dermatologist informed about any drastic changes.

Please helpp me Thank you

Male | 28

You might have contact dermatitis. It happens when something irritates your skin, like a cream or soap. The rashes, pimples on your thighs, and itching could be the cause. The swelling on your penis might be related too. Stop using the cream and gently wash the areas with mild soap and water. Keep it dry, don't scratch. If it doesn't get better, see a dermatologist.

Which treatment suits on me, as i m suffering from acne pigmentation nd dullness?

Female | 27

Dealing with acne, dark spots, and dullness can be frustrating. Acne causes pimples. Pigmentation leads to unwanted dark patches. Dullness makes your complexion appear tired, lacking radiance. To tackle these woes, consider skincare with retinol, niacinamide, and vitamin C. Shielding your skin from sun damage by applying sunscreen regularly is crucial. Cleanse your face diligently, resist picking at blemishes, and stay hydrated by drinking ample water.

Aoa , I'm 22 years old and I'm having hair fall, I have a lot of pain in my head, always on top side, any good medicine or shampoo.

Male | 22

The hair loss can be because of stress, hormonal imbalances, inadequate nutrition levels, or medical issues. The importance of consulting a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment cannot be overstressed. Without being given a proper diagnosis, the application of over-the-counter shampoos and medications will only make it worse.

Female | 26

Regarding skin brightening, one of the treatment that comes to my mind is Glutathione injections, it's free of any severe side effects when used in safe dosage. But I wouldn't recommend anything without prior examination.

I am 22 year old woman l was using skin lite cream for past few months and now my face got burned and my face has two colours how to get rid of this problem

Female | 22

Skin irritation and pigmentation changes could be causing the two different colors. To solve this, stop using the cream right away and use a mild moisturizer instead. Also, always apply sunscreen before going out into the sun each morning or afternoon. If it doesn’t help, see a dermatologist for more advice.

Mam I am getting tiny little bumps on my cheek area

Female | 07/07/2004

These small bumps on your cheeks may be acne. Acne develops when the hair follicles are clogged with oil and dead skin. It is commonly seen during puberty and when hormonal changes occur. You should wash your face gently with a mild cleanser and let the bumps be. If it bothers you so much, it is recommended that you see a dermatologist for further advice.

From your description, it seems you may be suffering with a skin infection or an STD. It is imperative that you make an appointment with a dermatologist or urologist soon to get a definite diagnosis and treatment. Please, do not postpone visiting a doctor, letting the symptoms develop and worsen over time.

Skin irritation and itches

Female | 27

Skin irritation, that itchy, red feeling can come from many sources. Dry skin is common, but also allergies and bug bites. Some skin conditions cause it too. Your skin may itch, turn red, and develop a rash. Cool showers soothe irritated skin, as do moisturizing creams. Avoid scratching though, it worsens irritation. If symptoms persist or worsen, see a dermatologist.

I have a abscess on my leg...it red and puffy....and it has developed a red line coming from the area of the abscess and is very painful... what might be the problem and what is the line

Female | 46

This occurs when bacteria are trapped under the skin and create a red, swollen, and tender area. The red streak that you’re seeing may be a sign of the infection spreading further. You should have it looked at because it could require antibiotics or even drainage. Use warm clothes to help ease discomfort and reduce swelling until you see a dermatologist.

Hello doctor! I have a daughter and she is 4months old.. She is having skin allergy on cheeks.. Dry, itchy, and sometimes water comes out on her skin due to continues itching. Please suggest some cream. I have used atogla, cetaphil, fucidin.. But condition is still the same.

Female | 4

If the rash is occurring on cheek in 3-4 months old child is most probably due to atopic dermatitis which is dry irritated skin condition resulting in itching and oozy skin. This might also effect other body parts like face, neck, front of elbows, back of knees and child might become irritated. It has to be managed with syndate bars or soaps, proper moisturizers, avoiding the irritants and oral or topical steroids. Proper consultation with dermatologist is advisable.

My hair is very thin and less volume how to increase my hair volume and thickness

Female | 18

If a person’s hair is too light and flat, maybe that’s how they’re born or they age, they have bad diet or style it too much. When hair becomes thin it could fall off in some areas leading to baldness. Eat a variety of foods with proteins, vitamins minerals in order to make hair thicker and increase its volume. Don’t use heat tools or strong chemicals on your hair, apply softening shampoos and conditioners then dry gently. Seek advice from a dermatologist who can give you specific instructions.

I'm 19 years old, I had irritation in my inner thigh thought to be thigh chaffing, it stopped then had a surgery for ovarian cyst removal surgery. After a week I had a watery profuse discharge from down there with a weird bad smell stopped after 3 days but caused severe irritation in my inner thigh and labia majora. Went to a dermatologist (and that was 3 months ago) he prescribed for me daktacort thrice daily and triflucan 150mg once weekly as I had tinia cruris (not sure of spelling). My skin got better but I still have slight irritation in my labia majora and minora and white solid like discharge in the middle of the day (not sure if it's okay) my dermatologist told me to continue till my symptoms stop completely and add 2 weeks but I have doubts about the dose and prescription because I didn't think it would last this long. Please help me relief my doubts.

Female | 19

It's normal for such infections to take time to fully clear, and its natural your dermat's advice to continue treatment until symptoms disappear for an additional 2 weeks. Maintain good hygiene and follow up with your dermatologist if you have ongoing concerns or questions about your treatment. Seek a second opinion from a gynecologist
