I have problem of dark underarms and dark knees

Answered by Dr. Parul Khot

For a very dry and sensitive skin, start a niacinamide based gel to calm the skin .change the face wash to a gentle one, rather than a glow providing one. Post that apply the niacinamide. then use acne moisturizer and then sunscreen for acne prone skin. If this doesn't help you you can consult a dermatologist for skin lightening treatment.

Hi, my mom wore sandals and it cut a little part of the top of her foot skin. It’s like a round circle and you can see the red skin. She has been using different foot medicine like antiseptic spray, rolled gauze bands, vaseline. She has took ibuprofen for pain. What can she do so it heals faster and relief pain?

Female | 60

Your mom likely de­veloped a foot wound from friction with her sandal. Inflame­d red skin indicates irritation. Antiseptic spray application was smart for pre­venting infections. Rolled gauze­ bandages shield the wound are­a. Vaseline kee­ps skin moisturized, promoting healing. Taking ibuprofen re­duces discomfort and swelling. For quicker re­covery, keeping the­ wound clean and dry while avoiding pressure­ on that foot is crucial.

Pimples appearing on face which is best gel clindamycin phosphate gel with benzoyl peroxide or clindamycin phosphate gel with niacinamide??

Female | 21

Pimples can be annoying, but there are solutions to help. These spots come from blocked pores and germs. A gel with clindamycin phosphate and benzoyl peroxide can kill bacteria and reduce swelling. Alternatively, clindamycin phosphate with niacinamide may be better for redness and irritation. Both options work well, so you should pick the one best for your skin type. Not sure which to try? Start with one, then switch if it doesn't help.

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.

I have a 14 year old daughter who has a had a itchy raised red puffy bump on her left shoulder the last two days. It happened in the middle of her basketball game. It has gotten worse from her bra strap and shirt rubbing against it. I want to know what it is and how to fix this mystery.

Female | 14

Looks like your daughter has a skin irritation that is contact dermatitis. One common type is contact dermatitis, which is caused by something rubbing against the skin and triggering redness, itching, and swelling. This thing might be her bra strap or shirt, which is the cause of the rash on her skin when it rubs against it while she is playing basketball, To make her feel better, try to use a soothing lotion or cream and let her put on clothes that are not tight enough to prevent rubbing as much as possible.

I'm 28 years and suffering from PCOD. I have thick hair in chin, neck and chest. I usually use the epilator to remove the hairs but after 7-10 days, it regrows back. Can you please suggest ways to rid of it permanently?

Female | 28

• Polycystic Ovary Disease (PCOD) is caused due to production of immature or partially mature eggs by the ovaries in response to poor lifestyle, obesity, stress and hormonal balance.

• Excessive hair growth in the face, chest and back is associated with imbalance in the male hormone called Testosterone. Other symptoms associated include menstrual irregularity, acne, obesity and insulin resistance.

• Treating the underlying condition which is PCOD will help you get rid of the excessive hair growth.

• Medicine such as Clomifene is recommended for treatment as it encourages monthly release of egg from the ovaries and Metformin is prescribed to reduce the insulin resistance.

 

Lifestyle changes include:

Dietary Changes –

  Optimum diet includes a range of foods from many food categories, including healthy carbohydrates like vegetables and fruits, lean meats like chicken, fish, and high fibre grains.  

 Foods with a low glycemic index enable the body to release insulin slowly and gradually, allowing your body to utilise food as energy rather than store it as fat. Fiber-rich foods also aid with blood sugar regulation.

 Avoid refined carbohydrates, which are found in processed meals such as white flour, rice, potatoes, and sugar. Sugary beverages, such as soda and juice, should also be avoided.

Maintain Healthy weight –  

 Weight loss should be about half to 1 kg per week for 6 months, with the other method based on the amount of weight lost.

 Avoid crash diets since they deprive your body of essential vitamins, carbs, proteins, and minerals.

 When you go on a crash diet, your body will actually destroy muscle tissue to supply enough energy for your brain to operate.

Exercise regularly –

 Aids in the fight against obesity by burning calories and increasing muscle mass, both of which reduce insulin resistance. Exercise can also help decrease cholesterol and other hormone levels, such as testosterone.

 Physical activity is also vital. Moderate amounts of physical exercise for 30 to 45 minutes per day, 3 to 5 days per week, should be encouraged at first.

Consult your Gynecologists for starting with your treatment and take the aid of a nutritionist in order to design a customized diet plan.

Female | 24

Psoriasis can be a chronic skin condition that require ongoing treatment. If you have tried several treatments without success, then discuss with a dermat to determine appropriate treatment plan for your condition. Medications, phototherapy, or biologic treatments are few options. Moreover you can try to avoide stress, smoking, and alcohol, and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
