Why Are My Knees Darker After Using Elosone HT Cream?

Patient's Query

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.

Some spot's on the chin ? How to get of it.

Male | 25

Spots on your chin may result from various factors, including hormonal changes, stress, or skin irritations. Common symptoms can include redness or small bumps. To help improve your skin, maintain a consistent cleansing routine, use a gentle exfoliator, and apply non-comedogenic moisturizers. Additionally, consider over-the-counter treatments containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. If spots persist or worsen, I recommend visiting a dermatologist for personalized advice and potential treatments. They can help identify underlying issues and provide tailored solutions for healthier skin.

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.

Sir, I want to ask about peeling oil. Does extra strong yellow peeling oil really peel the skin???

Female | 24

This product is effective in removing the skin, yet it is extremely important to be considerate. Using strong peeling oils can cause redness, burning, and even damage to the skin. These products work by peeling off the top layer of the skin, which tends to improve skin appearance, but their wrong application can cause great trouble to the user. The best way is to consult a dermatologist before using those products to prevent side effects.

I had one pimple in my lips and I break it .now my lips become so swelling and then i went to hospital they give allergy tablets but no result for me

Male | 31

Most often, this reaction is due to the inflammation or the infection. Even though antihistamines are one alternative, they may fail to be of use if edema is due to something else. To make you feel more comfortable, clean and moisturize the affected area first and foremost. Steer clear of irritants and think twice before you squeeze any more out. If the swelling persists or worsens, see a dermatologist to get the issue diagnosed correctly.

Hi ..i am 30 yr old girl and unmarried .I have acne breakouts in my face and back ..its so painful and sometime it turns white and give blood from that without touching too .i tried lot of home remedy solutions but still breakout doesn't goes away .

Female | 30

Acne management is a comprehensive approach. That acquires removing of oil using proper facewash, containing salicylic acid, or lactic acid, then avoiding oiling of the scalpels and using tropicals containing cleaner and antibiotics and if hormonal imbalances there, that has to be corrected. So please visit our nearest dermatologist for the same.

Male | 36

It sounds like you could be experiencing balanitis, inflammation of the foreskin of the penis, often caused by irritation or a yeast infection. Symptoms may include white pimples, swelling, and itchiness. Keeping the area clean and dry, avoiding irritants, and using over-the-counter antifungal cream can help relieve symptoms. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, it's crucial to seek immediate advice from a dermatologist for detailed assessment and medical treatment.

Male | 28

You might have contact dermatitis. It happens when something irritates your skin, like a cream or soap. The rashes, pimples on your thighs, and itching could be the cause. The swelling on your penis might be related too. Stop using the cream and gently wash the areas with mild soap and water. Keep it dry, don't scratch. If it doesn't get better, see a dermatologist.

Female | 20

Vitiligo is a medical issue leading to pale spots on skin areas. It happens when your body attacks its own cells. Or vitiligo may stem from inherited genes. There's no permanent fix, but creams and light treatment can help blend skin tones better. Sun protection is key to stop color changes. You can also visit a dermatologist for treatment.

Blisters in the mouth Body pains Blurred vision and body temperature rises but no fever Why does the eyes feel hot?

Male | 28

Your symptoms, such as mouth sores, discomfort in the body, vision changes, and increased warmth around the eyes, may indicate an underlying condition that requires attention. These signs can stem from viral infections or inflammation. It’s crucial to stay hydrated and rest. Applying a cool compress to your eyes may provide relief. However, because these symptoms can sometimes signal more significant issues, I strongly recommend consulting a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation. They can provide accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment tailored to your needs.

I am 19 years old .i am starting to have pimples on my pelvis area

Male | 19

Pimples in the pelvic region can be caused by various factors like hormone changes, perspiration, friction from clothing, or otherwise clogged pores. These humps may show up in red color as well as inflamed state and possibly they may be itchy. Falling into the routine of maintaining good hygiene by keeping the area clean and dry, using breathable fabrics, and allowing the use of over-the-counter creams to soothe the skin can discourage the development of the condition. But if the problem does not improve or the condition gets worse, you must consult a dermatologist for your underlying conditions.

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.
