Hi, Im 23 years old, been taking treatments for hyperpigmentation from various doctors and recently a doctor suggested q switch laser of 4 sittings, I got the first N I personally feel tat my face n neck have gone one shade darker thsn before, now confused if I shd take the remaining sittings or not, Please clarify

Female | 23

The skin appears darker or more pigmented usually after the first session of Q-switch laser treatment for hyperpigmentation. The treatment causes a temporary inflammation in the skin, which increases melanin production and darkens of the skin.
Talk to your dermatalogist as they can adjust the treatment parameters or suggest alternative treatment options based on your skin type and concerns.

I’ve hyperpigmentation on my face and suburn don’t know what to avoid and yse

Female | 18

I see that you are having dark spots on your face after getting a sunburn. This is called hyperpigmentation. It happens when your skin makes more pigment, called melanin, to protect itself from the sun. To help, avoid direct sunlight, use sunscreen, wear a hat, and apply aloe vera to soothe the burn. Over time, the dark spots may fade, but protecting your skin from the sun is key.

Iam 23 years of old male having oily skin,acni and pigmentations please tell serum, moisturizer ,facewash and sunscreen Please tell products names ????‍⚕️????‍⚕️

Male | 23

If you're dealing with oily skin, acne, pigmentation, or other skin issues, I recommend using "The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%" serum. This product helps reduce sebum production and acne occurrence. For moisturizing, try "Cetaphil Oil Control Moisturizer SPF 30" to keep your pores clear. You might also like "Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash," which is gentle on skin affected by impurities. To protect your skin from sun damage, apply "CeraVe Ultra-Light Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30." These products can help give your skin a radiant appearance.

I am 27y/o female and I have plu like pimple on my labia what should I do... I noticed them yesterday

Female | 27

These can sometimes be the result of ingrown hairs or sweat glands getting blocked. Pimples in this area might appear as small red bumps. Keep the area clean and dry, avoid squeezing it, and wear loose clothing. If it doesn't go away or gets worse, it's a good idea to talk to a healthcare provider; it's a great idea to talk to a dermatologist in such a case.

I have a red bump on my leg and it looks like a bug bite. I just want to ask you if it’s venenous and if I should see a doctor. It itches me a lot and it’s red

Male | 12

Bug bites often cause red, itchy spots. Most aren't dangerous, but seek medical help if symptoms worsen. Bites can sometimes trigger fever or swelling. To relieve itchiness, apply a cold compress or anti-itch cream. However, if the bite area enlarges, causes pain, or you develop fever, it's wise to consult a dermatologist.

I'm 18 years old ,I started using salicylic acid face wash on my face three weeks ago ,now I wanna stop that , because I can't see my skin purging at a level ,soo what will happen after that and can I use niacinamide serum to clear my skin from purging?

Female | 18

It’s normal for your skin not to have an immediate breakout when you quit using a salicylic acid cleanser. Different people have different experiences with purging. A niacinamide serum may be beneficial in clearing your skin. Reducing redness and improving skin texture are some of the things niacinamide can do. Ensure you follow the directions on the package and be patient for results.

There are various causes of dry skin including weather conditions, age and certain skin disorders. This can lead to symptoms such as itching, redness or rough patches. Beclometasone contained in Zydip lotion works by reducing inflammation as well as itching. The medicine should be applied along with a skin moisturizer although the frequency of use will depend on what your doctor tells you.

Small pearl size substance feel under skin on nearby elbow cannot see no pain

Female | 22

This is likely (or can be) what we call a cyst. Cysts are usually benign and arise when oil or skin cells are stuck under the skin. Oftentimes, these cysts don't give you any irritations and therefore do not cause any problems. If it is not bothering you, you can disregard it. But whatever the case may be, it is best to visit a dermatologist if it grows or starts to be painful.

My son is 4.5 years and is having skin rashes since 1 year, in his knee, back, lower stomach and underarms. We have consulted skin specialist and applied futibact, tacroz and neoaporin ointments, but once we stop futibact the rashes return after a week and increase

Male | 4

The boy seems to have atopic dermatitis also called as atopic eczema. The care is utmost important in his case as the skin is dry and prone to rashes as well as infection. steps should be taken to keep his skin moist at all times. Start by oiling him before bath, use mild cleansers, and apply moisturizers immediately after bath so as to retain water and seal it inside his skin. The flutibact is for immediate reduction of rashes. Start using tacrolimus cream once a week to prevent further rashes. The flutibact is a steroid and antibiotic combination cream, and therefore has to be used judiciously. Please meet a pediatric dermatologist for more information regarding this problem
