Ma'am are you seeking consultation from a general practitioner, or from a dermatologist? Because general practitioners can provide limited assistance & guidance in the initial phase, but if their prescribed ointments don't work then you will have to take it a notch up and seek guidance from those who have expertise in a domain specific to your problem, in your case being, a dermatologist.
Also, if even dermatologist approved creams & medications don't work, then there are clinically advanced treatments too, such as laser therapy, chemical peel, dermabrasion and microdermabrasion. And do you have any specific skin care routine that you follow? or a list of ingredients which you are supposed to avoid while shopping for skincare products?
Sometimes even clinical dermatologists can have varied approach, so we would suggest that you visit multiple skin care experts and discuss your issues at length with them, such as:
- Planning a skin care routine with products specific to your skin type,
- Knowing all the treatment options which you can expect from them, right from medicated ones to those that are clinically advanced like peel/surgery/laser,
- Lastly, do not forget to enquire about any possible disorder which can lead to pimples or acne, and if some test/examination pertaining to same can be carried out. If its some hormonal or health condition at play which is causing such complications, then they can also refer you to a gynecologist, or dietician, or some other expert depending on the organs which are affected due to any possible disorder, through tests & examinations.
We implore you to visit our page and find experts to seek guidance from - Acne Pimples Treatment doctors in Mumbai, let us know if your city is different.

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?
Female | 23
If you have oily skin and acne problem, sometimes if acne is severe they might burst or get infected or if you pick your acne too much they might result into scars. As per Dermatologist there are 5 types of scars which are commonly encountered.
1. Ice Picks Scars: Very small in surface but deep and narrow below.
2. Roll-Over Scars: Wide but borders are difficult to appreciate
3. Box-car Scars: wide and borders can be easily appreciated.
4. Open pores like Scars: Small Ice Pick Scars
5. Hyper-trophic Scars:
so the treatment for the scars depends upon the type of scars. Commonly treatment which are effective are TCA cross, subsition treatment, microneedling, microneedling radiofrequency, PRP treatment, CO2 Laser, RBM Glass laser and even dermal fillers.
As you are 23 and you are asking about microdermabrasion, it removes superficial skin layers and it is effective only for superficial scars which are not very deep. This might require you multiple sessions like 8-10 sessions for it to work. Instead of Microdermabrasion you can go for microneedling, microneedling radiofrequency which will require less number of sessions and on top of it you can add PRP to it.

Female | 34
As you are 34 years old, there might be some hormonal issues leading to acne. Consult local dermatologist for treatment who might prescribe you some topical antibiotics benzoyl peroxide or daplin or oral drugs depending upon the situation. It is advisable to use moisturizers, particularly water-based that do not uproot the pores because medication usage might result in dryness and little irritation. Your Skin will be much better after the treatment for Acne.

I have these little rashes on my neck and I need them to go away I need some type of cream or medicine that would help it so my neck wouldn’t have all of these rashes on my neck it’s so annoying
Female | 20
These welts might result from skin irritations, allergies, or even some skin disorders such as eczema. To help them disappear, you could get an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream. This cream will reduce the swelling. Avoid itching or scratching to prevent further irritation. Also, remember to clean the affected area and keep it dry. But if these rashes are still there after doing all these things then go see a dermatologist.

I have acne issue i was on medication azikem i took one month dose now mu dermatologist has suggested me to take accutane for 4 months, i dont want to take accutance what should i do can i have azikem for a month again because that safe than taking accutane for months
Female | 19
It's hard to get rid of acne, but Accutane can treat the serious cases. Azikem and Accutane have different mechanisms of action. Azikem targets the bacteria causing acne, while Accutane works by decreasing oil production. If your dermatologist recommends you take Accutane, they believe it is the best course of action for you. Their qualifications and experience should be your guiding principles in this matter if you want to have the best results.

Male | 52
Several factors can cause black lumps. It's sometimes a self-resolving harmless blood blister that happens when you accidentally bite your lip or something more serious like skin cancer. Anyway, always be alert to the piece of the lump being uncomfortable, bloody, or growing in size. It's better to seek counseling from a physician to be cautious.

I recently got Botox, and after that, I started losing a lot of hair. Even though I had hair loss before, now I am losing a lot more. Is this related to Botox side effects?

Female | 16
A troublesome ear infection is what you're saying. The pus and clear goop coming out, the hard lumps, and the pain, are examples of a serious issue. The infection could have gone into your ear cartilage and therefore caused the swelling and rawness. A visit to a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis is a must as some antibiotics may be prescribed to kill the infection and prevent further complications.

Im 24 and have been having an itchy sensation on the head and sometimes skin of the penis , some small red spots once appeared on the penis head but they then disappeared on their own, what could this be
Male | 24
You might have a condition called balanitis. Balanitis is when the head of the penis gets itchy and irritated. Small red spots can appear and will then go away on their own. One reason this might happen is improper washing, which can lead to irritation from certain soaps, laundry detergents, or a yeast infection. You should keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting underwear, and avoid using harsh products. If the symptoms do not improve, talk to a dermatologist for proper treatment.

Hi I am taking esomeprazole, lipitor, lisinopril, citalopram and ropinerole. I want to know if it it safe to take anti sweat tablets. Thank you
Female | 59
Sweating is your body's natural way to cool down. Certain medications can increase sweat production as a side effect or be symptoms of underlying medical conditions. Anti-sweat tablets reduce sweat secretion but may interact with your current medications. It's crucial to consult your doctor for a safe solution. They can adjust your medications or suggest alternative treatments to address the root cause of your sweating. Always communicate openly with your doctor about any concerns or changes in your medication regimen to ensure your health is prioritized.

Hello docto I'm noticing some uneven skin tone on my face and hands. They also appear darker than the rest of my body. Can you help me understand what might be causing this?" And also some pimples on my face can you give a solution??
Male | 16
Darker areas on your skin may be hyperpigmentation. This common issue happens when the skin makes too much pigment. Sun exposure, hormones, or irritation can cause it. As for pimples, they come from clogged pores and extra oil. To help, use a gentle face wash, sunscreen, and products with ingredients like retinol or niacinamide. These can even out skin tone and unclog pores. You can also visit a dermatologist for a proper treatment.
