Managing Post-Acne Betamethasone Side Effects

Hello I am Jawed, I am 32 years old, height is 170cm and weight is 60 KG. I had acne on my face 10 to 11 years ago, at that time I visited a doctor and they prescribed Betamethasone Injection and it was injecting in every acne on my face separately, the effects was so fast because the acne disappeared after two to three hours after injection. This treatment co tinues 2 months, one every week with that doctor, as the effects were temporary for individual acnes on face and as well the effect was fast, after that I became addicted to it and I was injecting this particular injection to my face myself and it goes for maybe more then 6 months and then I stopped it, about 2 to 3 months later after stopping it some side effects apeared to my skin, my skin (different areas such as face-lips, eyes, hands-shoulders, legs-tighs, neck, under arms, even the private parts) become puffy, itchy, red when I wake up from sleep, and ut continues for 3 to 4 hours and then disappears, this problem is from more then 9 years sometimes it disappears for months and sometimes it comes back, whenever I take anti-allergic tablets such as cetrizine it is all ok and when I stop taking it, it appears again, simetimes the effects are so strong mean specially when it take my eysles the puffy eyes are so heavy and it become normal after 24 to 36 hours. I didn't notice any particular thing that I am allergic to that in these 9 years. I will be very greatful if your advice helps me from this bad situation. King Regards

De­aling with skin issues can be tough. The­ puffy, itchy, red skin you mentioned might be­ contact dermatitis. This happens when your skin is irritate­d by something it touches. For you, it see­ms the long-term Betame­thasone Injection use could have­ triggered it. To manage it, avoid trigge­rs - certain products or fabrics that bother your skin. Moisturize daily and use­ a gentle face wash. If ne­eded, over-the­-counter antihistamines may ease­ symptoms. Visit a dermatologist if the problems persist.

Can stress cause bruising

Female | 23

Worry does not leave marks on your skin. Howe­ver, it may cause restle­ssness. Restless pe­ople sometimes scratch or bump into obje­cts. This can result in bruises forming. Fee­ling tense weake­ns your body's defenses. A we­akened immune syste­m makes bruising more likely. To pre­vent stress-relate­d bruising, you should find ways to relax. Try calming activities, exe­rcising regularly, and eating nutritious foods.

I finish my accutane treatment so can I consume supplement vitamin A

Female | 23

It is recommended that you seek the advice of your dermatologist when considering any vitamin A supplements after ending your Accutane therapy. Toxicity occurs when too much vitamin A is ingested since the liver becomes affected. Based on your medical background and condition, the dosage and duration of vitamin A supplements will be recommended by a dermatologist.

I have ringworm for almost 4 months .some of the ringworm in my inner thighs and now in pubic area too.Some of them under my breast too.applied clotrimazole, terbinafine ointments. But didn't worked.What should I do

Female | 18

It looks like you have bad case of ringworm which did not respond to the OTC medicines. I suggest that as soon as possible you see a dermatologist who specializes in fungal infections. They may give you oral antifungal medicine and topical treatment to improve the result. Seek urgent medical care since untreated ringworm can cause problems.

I am 21 years old and I have severe dandruff and itchy scalp . I used many anti dandruff shampoos but no use.

Male | 21

A common cause of dandruff is yeast which lives on everybody’s skin. Sometimes, if you’re using certain shampoos and they’re not working it’s possibly because your scalp needs something else. Try shampoo with an ingredient such as ketoconazole or salicylic acid in it and be sure to massage this into your head. Doing so should help decrease both the amount of flakes produced by the dandruff and also provide relief from irritation caused by dryness.

I suffering from angular stomaltits and my treatment is on, my basic question is that does stomaltits causes pain when it heal

Male | 21

Experiencing painful cracked corners of mouth, a condition which is also known as angular stomatitis, might be intolerable. This kind of condition might be brought about by a number of reasons such as vitamin deficiency, yeast infection, or drooling. The main symptoms involve the appearances of redness, swelling, and sores at the corners of the mouth. Ways to get it healed include keeping the area dry, applying the lip balm, and eating a balanced diet that has fruits and vegetables high in vitamins.
