Answered by Samruddhi Bhartiya

  • For pigmented skin & dark circles these are the options:
    • OTC creams - apply creams with these ingredients on your spots (Rs. 200 to Rs. 2000):
      • Hydroquinone
      • Licorice extract
      • N-acetylglucosamine
      • Vitamin B-3 (niacinamide)
    • Chemical Peels (Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 10,000 per session): A solution containing certain acids which are beneficial for your skin, is applied to your skin and peeled off later on. These peels use acids of stronger, mild and moderate strength concentrations to treat the desired area of skin.
    • Laser therapy (Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 22,000 per session): Heat from intense light beam vaporizes damaged cells underneath your eyes.
      There are two types:
      • Ablative lasers: are intense and they remove layers of your skin, but they also make you prone to side effects.
      • Non-ablative lasers: target the dermis to boost collagen growth and tightening effects.
         
  • Additionally for pigmentation you also have these treatments:
    • Microdermabrasion (Rs. 1500 to Rs. 6000 per session): Treats the epidermis only (superficial scarring). During the treatment, your dermatologist will use a drill-like handheld appliance with a wire brush or some other abrasive as its attachment, to swipe over your skin. Same will eliminate epidermal scarring.
    • Dermabrasion (Rs. 1500 to Rs. 6000 per session): Involves the removal of your epidermis, but it also manages to reach to a part of your dermis. While dermabrasion smoothens out wrinkles, the procedure has been historically used to address texture-related concerns.
       
  • Additionally for dark circles you also have these treatments:
    • There is also a surgical technique to remove fat from your lids if the cast of their shadow is the culprit behind your dark circles, which is known as blepharoplasty (Rs 80,000 - Rs. 2,00,000 overall),
    • And otherwise, you can also inject certain acids into the tissues under your eyes, as recommended by trained specialists, so as to overcome volume loss under your eyes which could have contributed to dark circles as well, they are referred to as fillers (Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 60,000).
       
  • Skin tightening:
    • We implore you to read our blog, as it covers different clinical procedures and numerous options which use fillers/lasers to lift up skin and make it firm - Top Anti-Aging Treatment for skin.
       
  • Note: The actual cost can exceed the estimated range, it depends upon location/experience of clinician, infrastructure/other value-added services provided by a clinic, and severity of concern along with area covered.

Hi I am 25 year old I have a scar on right cheek due to pimple,the pimple has gone but it left with a scar

Male | 25

You suffered from a pimple on your cheek that is currently a scar, which is very common. The skin may leave a mark after the healing of a pimple. Whenever skin tries to fix itself these scars form. To make the spot where it is blended with your natural complexion, use remedies such as lotions containing retinol or vitamin C.

It is crucial if you have a rash on your penis to consult a dermatologist or a doctor who specializes in the urinary tract as soon as possible. It might turn out to be an ingrown hair but you might be prone to a sexually transmitted disease.

Hello doc, My problem is that I have several dark spots and pimples on my face. I had tried several topical medication it didn't work out and my skin colour got blackened.Can I have a solution for this, In quick period of time.

Male | 20

I advise you to follow a proper skincare routine which includes washing your face twice a day with gentle cleanser and using a moisturizer that suits your skin type. Also, while going out wear a sunscreen with at least SPF of 30. Also, exfoliating 1-2 times a week can help. And avoid touching or squeezing your pimples as this can make your problem worse. For more help and guidance regarding your dark spots, I recommend visiting a dermatologist. I hope this proved helpful.

Hi Doctor, I am suffering from skin itching and rashes in my groin and other private areas from a very long time. Especially in summer the itching intensifies and it's unbearable. Is there a permenante solution or treatment for this in ayurveda. Please help. I can consult with you in video conferencing.

Male | 46

Itchy, rashy skin down there­ is no fun, especially in the he­at. This could be jock itch - a fungal thing. Nature's reme­dies like nee­m, turmeric, and aloe may help. Stay away from tight clothe­s. Keep the are­a dry and airy. Eat healthy foods.

I am 26 year old Female. I have acne scars from past 2-3 months. I was using Clear gel ointment on them. The scars have reduced but still the skin is not getting clear. Prior to this I never had acne. Also my skin is normal type not at all acne prone or oily skin. Please suggest some Medication or ointment for clear skin. I have started following a skincare routine with Cleansing Toning Vitamin C serum Eye cream Moisturizer and Sunscreen.

Female | 26

The best way to get clear skin is to use a gentle skincare routine that includes cleansing, toning, exfoliating, and moisturizing. To help reduce the appearance of acne scars, you may also want to consider using a product with ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid to help reduce inflammation, promote collagen production, and improve hydration levels. Additionally, you may want to consider using a gentle exfoliating scrub or mask, such as a clay mask, to help remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and brighten skin. Lastly, you may want to consider using a topical spot treatment with ingredients like salicylic acid to help reduce inflammation and break down any remaining acne scarring.

Hello! I'd like to consult on a medication called Doxycycline I took 2 doses wrongly by accident (2 pills 2 times a day instead of 1 pill 2 times a day) Should I wait 24 hours and take the next dose in the morning? or should I take my next dose now? also, could I check the effectiveness of doxycycline? (I have taken doxycycline before and I'm concerned it might not be effective) Thank you!

Male | 24

It's important to use medicines the right way if you want them to work well. Too much doxycycline might give you a stomach ache, make you feel sick, or throw up. If you have taken 2 doses at once, just skip that particular time and take your next dose when it is due. Even after this drug may still be effective but not in the correct manner as before; so always consult with your doctor if doubtful about its efficacy.
