Why Are My Knees Darker After Using Elosone HT Cream?

Hello sir /ma'am From the past 3 months i was using elosone ht skin cream over my knee areas, because of the sun exposure my knee became very dark and they were looking very odd. That's why i was using it in my knee areas only, also it was having visible results. 4 5 days back i saw my knees and suddenly i was in shock. My knees are looking very scary. The area where i use to apply the cream the whole area is covered with a dark patch which is 2x darker than before i had. Please help me it is looking very scary and i can't even wear shorts due to this.

The cream you were using might have led to the development of a skin condition known as skin atrophy which causes the skin to become thin and darker. This can occur if certain steroid creams are applied for an extended duration on sensitive areas like the knees. It's vital to discontinue the cream instantly and see a dermatologist for a thorough examination and advice on how to improve the skin condition.

I have facial hair growth over both chin and upper lip. Its because of hormonal imbalance my DHEA level is 180. So may i know if laser hair removal will help get rid of this facial hair growth.

Female | 29

Laser hair removal can be an effective way to remove unwanted facial hair. But it is important to discuss any hormonal imbalances with your doctor before beginning a treatment plan. Laser hair removal may not be the best option for you if your DHEA level is high as this could lead to an increased risk of side effects. Your doctor may suggest other options such as oral medications, topical creams, or electrolysis.

I wanna use glutathione as my skin is getting darker

Female | 21

Some people wish for lighter skin, but glutathione may not help. Increased pigmentation can be caused by factors like UV rays or skin issues. Trying to change your complexion with glutathione can be risky and might not work. It’s better to focus on using sunscreen, staying hydrated, and eating a healthy diet to keep your skin healthy and glowing.

I am facing the issue of itching on cheeks, hands and back

Male | 30

Itching on cheeks, hands, and back could be due to: 
- Dry skin
- Allergic reaction 
- Eczema or psoriasis 
- Bug bites or hives 
- Medication side effect. 

Try moisturizing, avoiding irritants, and OTC antihistamines. If symptoms persist, see a dermatologist.

I seem to have a belly button infection.

Female | 23

If you suspect you have a belly button infection, it's important to take appropriate steps.. Clean the area gently with warm water and mild soap. Keep the area dry and avoid excessive moisture. If you notice signs of infection like redness, swelling, pain, discharge, or a foul odor, consider seeking medical advice.

I am 29 year old female. I am sexually active and do like whip play. Recently, my partner was whipping my breasts with his belt and swelling and bruising happened. It has gone down, however on my right breast a hard lump has appeared under my skin. Is this something to worry about or just a large bruise?

Female | 29

Swelling and bruising are common for rough activities. A lump may form after injuring the breast. These bumps are caused by blood collecting under the skin. You should monitor it closely. If it persists or causes any pain, seek medical attention immediately.

Ma'am can you please suggest me something so that this skin antrophy can be removed. Please ma'am i will be very thankfull to you. I don't have much money to show this problem to the dermatologist.

Skin atrophy is the thinning of the skin and it can happen for different reasons like aging, steroid abuse, or some medical conditions. Skin atrophy is the major issue and it is necessary to use gentle lotions and creams to keep your skin moisturized to solve it. Refrain from harsh chemicals and cover your skin from the sun. Eating a balanced meal full of vitamins and minerals can also help your skin. Always bear in mind that the major reason for taking good care of the skin is for the overall well-being of the body.
