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?
Answered on 23rd May '24
Oily skin is always connected to acne. Acne settle with marks and scars those are the complications .Micro Dermabrasion is a very superficial technique to remove dead skin from the skin and hence cannot remove the marks. The marks will need a deeper treatments as Fruit peels, and lasers.

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.

Don't worry the white patches will recover. They are post inflammatory hypopigmentation. Complete it as per course of a month and local cream for a month, so that reoccurrence is avoided. Other days apply Absorb powder to reduce sweating and secondary infection. For more information visit best dermatologist in India

I am 36 years old and have wrinkles on my face so I can make those wrinkles go away
Answered on 23rd May '24
Wrinkles is due to shrinking of skin with collagen loss. First is improve life style, eat proteins, sleep well, drink water and eat. Lots of antioxidant foods without fail each day, reduce smoking , sugar intake and carbs. Now come to local application of sunscreen, and Vitamin C serum in morning, Retinol and peptide serum at night. Next as soon as u are 35, start collagen building treatments as Mesopen, PRP, Q switch, HIFU or peels so that u stimulate collagen and look younger. Take collagen pills to help tighten skin. You can also visit dermatologist near you for detailed consultation.

Iam humaira. My age 20.My toe nail become black without reason another toe nail also small black spot developing
Answered on 23rd May '24
The blackening of toe nail can be fungal infection of the nail. You could have contracted it while playing sports, sweaty shoes, using elses socks, or even during a pedicure in salon. Avoid all the above situations. Keep feet clean and dry. Start applying Anti fungal nail laquer as Nail on or Iwin on the nail each day for 3 months as local antifungal and contact a dermatologist near you for oral medications if more feet nails are getting infected. It takes 6 months atleast for the nail to recover and get a new nail.
