- Sir, following medicated treatments can help (are available over the counter, but you will require clinical prescription for stronger concentrate):
- Benozyl peroxide (kills bacteria responsible for acne),
- Salicylic acid (allows exfoliation),
- Retenoids (prevents inflammation as well as pimple formation),
- Azelaic acid (anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory),
- Topical antibiotics (eliminates bacteria and decreases inflammation).
- Caution: They tend to make your skin more sensitive, so under expert supervision you would know what kind of sunscreen to use and in how much quantity to utilize, therefore read package instructions and consult a physician for beginners.
- Advanced treatments: if OTC drugs and clinical prescriptions fail, then there are advanced options available as well, such as laser resurfacing, chemical peel, dermabrasion and microdermabrasion.
- For more information, you can refer our page to get in touch with experts - Acne Scar Treatment doctors in Delhi, or that of any other city convenient to you.
- Your basic skincare routine should consist of following steps:
- Begin your daily routine by washing your face with either a face wash foam or gel which matches with your skin type,
- Then apply moisturizer when your face is still wet, to lock the moisture in,
- And then use a sunscreen of appropriate SPF,
- Repeat aforementioned steps at night, just replace sunscreen with a night cream,
- For all these products, you need to know what ingredients they contain and what you are supposed to avoid while buying skin care products that cater to people with similar skin type and issues as you.

Hello i am 21 years old, I did an ankle tattoo on Tuesday and since then my foot is hurting me specially when I walk, I don't know if it's relatable but I got my ankle sprained 6months ago so I don't know if I shouldn't do it on the samw ankle, I'm worried if there's something danger or it's normal and the pain will fade away soon, please if you can help me thank you
Female | 21
It is totally normal to get some pain and abrasions after getting a tattoo, especially when it comes to ankles because ankles have the thinnest skin. But the pain that lingers or gets worse strongly suggests a medical concern. In this case, one should definitely visit a doctor, ideally a dermatologist, in order to exclude or confirm the possibility of infection or an allergic reaction. With your past ankle sprain history, it would be advantageous to talk an orthopedist too, and to watch that the your tattoo is not interfering with the healing process.

I fell asleep outside and got a painful sunburn on my leg. I went to softball practice and got hit in the leg with a softball. Am I allowed to ice it because I thought you couldn't ice a sunburn but it hurts to put pressure on it.
Female | 15
Sunburns are very painful, and getting hit by a softball on top of that is even worse. Applying ice won't harm the sunburn and can help reduce pain and swelling. Wrap the ice in a towel to protect your skin. If the pain is severe or doesn't improve, see a dermatologist for proper treatment.

i have a vag boil and it is really painful it hurts when i walk and juhst laying diwn or even touch it it is very big and had gotten bugger than when it first started i want to know how to get rid of him the pain is shapr a little throbbing and
Female | 17
Boils are caused by infected hair follicles and can be painful and swollen. To help them heal, apply warm compresses to the area at least three times a day. This can reduce pain and help the boil drain naturally. Keep the area clean and avoid squeezing or picking at the boil, as this can worsen the infection. If the boil does not get better or gets bigger, it is a good idea to consult a dermatologist for a check-up and treatment.

I have athletes feet from 6 years How to get rid from that?
Female | 19
Athlete's foot, a common fungal skin illness, affects your feet. It could cause itchiness, discoloration, peeling, and odor. Keeping feet clean, dry (especially between toes), helps cure it. Use doctor-prescribed antifungal creams or powders diligently. Wear fresh socks, shoes daily. Avoid sharing footwear to prevent spreading infection.

Recently I have a insect bite n my face near eye area , and I think that insect release some fluid which is acidic in nature and it caused scare on my face after the wound repaired it seems white and black on surface how to treat this faster please .
Female | 26
You've had some trouble with that insect bite near your eye. The acidity of the insect's fluid might have caused the skin to scar. The skin can be either whitish or blackish. You can use aloe vera or vitamin E cream to treat it without leaving any scars. They are also useful in minimizing the visibility of the scars over time. Don't forget to rinse the area with water often and never itch it.

Pretty sure ive got an ingrown toenail, and im pretty sure its infected. Ive been cutting it myself for over a year but its too painful. Side of my toe’s kind of swollen, its very red/pink. Also if I pull the skin on the side of the ingrown toe part away, pus will kinda leak out a bit. And as of today, its hurting to walk. If i even bump the top of my toe, i get searing pain in my toe. And as of right now, my foot and calf have this kind of ache-y pain.
Female | 20
The swelling, redness, and pus leakage plus pain are the symptoms of infected. The infection might get worse if no treatment is done. The pain and the ache in your foot and calf might be caused by the spreading of the infection. You have to see a dermatologist. They could recommend antibiotics or surgery to take away the ingrown toenail.

I was having balanitis one year back and got treated but later that year me and my girlfriend both got diagnosed with HPV. Now I am is getting cracked foreskin. Due to that it's getting pain whenever gets stretched. Also the skin around the anal area is loosing and looks pinkish without pain.
Male | 28
According to your symptoms, a fungal infection or an irritation might be the reason behind it. The cracked foreskin could result from either the infection or the dryness. The pinkish skin around the anal area might be related. Hygiene is the first thing that must be done to make this area stay clean and dry. Antifungal cream or simple moisturizer may be required. Keep away from strong soaps and wear loose clothes. Drink plenty of liquids and eat a balanced diet to aid the natural healing process.

There is a sudden development of a black coloured lump on my lips . Can you please give me details of this
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.

Just wanna know something,my upper lip is tanned whole the lower is pink which looks weird,want to know what to do in this situation!!
Male | 18
A tanned upper lip and pink lower lip might seem perplexing, but it’s pretty common. The simplest explanation would be sun exposure since our upper lips are generally more affected by the sun than our lower ones are. To tan less and protect your lips, you should always apply sunscreen before going out into the sun; if you want extra protection, use SPF lip balm as well. Eventually, the colors will even themselves out.

I’m Aryan Soma, age-21. I am having severe acne/cysts problem. I have visited many dermatologist. But it didn’t worked now because of my tablets and all. Im having a hairfall issue which I can’t bare. Im here to ask you? Do you have a permanent solution for this with quick results like laser treatment.
Male | 21
Acne cysts are the most severe form of acne which need immediate attention for they may lead to permanent acne scars. Intralesional corticosteroid injections are given into the acne nodules and cysts are drained for faster resolution of nodules and cysts. Diagnosing and treatment of underlying cause is essential to resolve the acne. Oral retinoids are to be recommended in your case. If hair fall is an issue, Dermatologist may recommend blood tests like serum ferritin, vitamin B12, TSH, vitamin D etc which may be the cause of hair fall. Using the right hair supplements with doctor’s prescription according to the deficiencies, may help treat the hair fall concern. Topical solutions containing Capixyl, Minoxidil etc are also recommended to control hair shedding and promote hair growth.

I have had a discolored/ black nail all my life without any injury or signs of trauma to the nailbed. I was wondering what is it because I've seen online that people are saying its a type of melanoma.
Male | 13
Discolored nails without an obvious reason may worry you, but it's not always melanoma. Sometimes, excess pigment causes this condition known as melanonychia. Although melanoma could cause discoloration, it's rare. A dermatologist's opinion provides assurance, so getting it checked is wise.

It' been one year skin infection on my face I use cream but never it goes away
Female | 43
For a year, your face battled an unwavering skin issue despite using cream. Bacteria, viruses, fungi - any could instigate such infections. Perhaps the cream proved ineffective, failing to address the root cause. Seeking a dermatologist's expertise would provide a precise diagnosis, unlocking the appropriate treatment path. Promptly resolving infections is crucial; neglecting them risks exacerbating the condition further.

i have white patches all over body and between fingers my skin looks like old people like snake skin i apply oil to qll parts daily to hide patches how to rectify this
Male | 32
Epidermal psoriasis can make your skin look like a puzzle with indented edges. It is not always the case that you get white spots between your fingers. Covering flares with oil is not a good idea because it doesn't address the trigger. To address this problem, you should visit a dermatologist who can guide you on creams, ointments, or other prescribed medications for psoriasis. Washing your skin and reducing the number of patches can be helpful. Using milder soaps and applying moisturizers will also help.

Doctor, the acne mark is on my face .Can someone suggest a mask that will work for this? because now I am married? I have also done pRP with micron needing twice and when will I get the result? Because I can't go to the doctor anymore
Female | 22
It's great that you've taken steps like PRP with microneedling to treat your acne marks. Results usually start to show within 3 to 6 months, but it can vary from person to person. For the best advice on face masks or other treatments, I recommend consulting a dermatologist. They can guide you with the right solutions tailored to your skin type.

Hello doctor! I have a daughter and she is 4months old.. She is having skin allergy on cheeks.. Dry, itchy, and sometimes water comes out on her skin due to continues itching. Please suggest some cream. I have used atogla, cetaphil, fucidin.. But condition is still the same.
Female | 4
If the rash is occurring on cheek in 3-4 months old child is most probably due to atopic dermatitis which is dry irritated skin condition resulting in itching and oozy skin. This might also effect other body parts like face, neck, front of elbows, back of knees and child might become irritated. It has to be managed with syndate bars or soaps, proper moisturizers, avoiding the irritants and oral or topical steroids. Proper consultation with dermatologist is advisable.

I am 17, since Wednesday I have felt very tired everyday even though I’ve slept well, I’ve had this constant headache near my nose eyes and head which won’t leave. I’ve had a sore throat but it doesn’t hurt to swallow, I looked in the mirror today and it’s red, my tongue has spots at the back and abit of my mouth is swollen I think. I’ve taken paracetamol and it hasn’t helped and I don’t know what to do
Female | 17
You probably have a sinus infection. As a result, you might experience fatigue, headache, sore throat, and swollen mouth. The spots on your tongue may suggest an infection too. To feel better, drink water, rest, and see a dermatologist for further advice.

If it is a simple boil then treating with the topical antibiotics cream like Neosporin daily for 5 days will heal it. If it doesn't get cured consult local dermatologist near you
