Did Detol burn cause stubborn facial brown patch?

I applied undiluted dettol on my face [acne region (cheek and forehead) as it was bleeding] and forgot to wash it off. This later burnt my skin and now two months later theres a brownish patch which I am unable to get rid of regardless of how many scars removal cream and depigmenting creams I have used. Please help me recognise the problem with a solution for the same. Thank you.

Undiluted Dettol is said to cause burns and dark patches on the skin, especially the sensitive area of the face. The brownish skin spot that you have may be the result of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. To discolor the patch, avoid sun exposure by applying sunscreen, and think about visiting a dermatologist for chemical peels or laser therapy treatment.

I am 31 year old female from lucknow ,i want to know about skin melanin treatment surgery for skin lightening and whitening ,is this is good for skin in future or in my 60’s ,,i have dry combination skin Please suggest

Female | 31

Skin melanin treatment surgery can be harmful in the long run so I suggest not to go for it. You can try other treatments like chemical peels or dermabrasion instead. These treatments can help lighten the skin and are not harmful in the long run. Also using moisturizer and sunscreen can help.

I want my facial hair and neck hair removed .would like to go for lazer treatment. How much does it cost ? And how long will it take ?

Female | 60

Hi Mam,
As mentioned I believe your age is 60. Mam Laser hair reduction works beautifully on thick dark coarse hair, if your hair is grey it might not be responsive to the treatment. Usually 6-8 sessions are needed, then it goes to maintenance depending on the response. See a Dermatologist.

I have sweating glands under eyes. Can that be cured. If yes, how?

Sweating under the eyes is abnormal and may be an indication of such a problem as hyperhidrosis- this can signify something wrong in numerous parts of the body that appear to sweat profusely. Treatment alternatives range from topical antiperspirants, Botox injections, oral treatments to surgery if necessary. It is best to contact a dermatologist who can diagnose your specific condition and advise you on the most suitable treatment. They can give you a detailed assessment to find the root cause of your sweating and create an individual treatment plan that will help them deal with all these symptoms effectively. Remember, key to effective addressing of hyperhidrosis is the correct diagnosis as well as tailored treatment.

My son has redish spots on the body feeling swear itching and burrowing with swelling.

Male | Roshaan

Your son might have a skin condition called hives. These are small, pinkish-red, itchy lumps that appear on the skin. Hives are generally caused by a person's allergic reaction to specific types of food, or drugs, or by bug bites. Give him an antihistamine that will alleviate the itchy skin and reduce the swelling. Moreover, you should search for the elements that cause the hives to not occur the rest of the time.

I have been bit by a person in my hand a few says ago. The area is red now. What should I do about it?

Female | 24

The redness you see might be a cause of infection. It can be managed by washing the area properly with soap and water. Next, put an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment and cover it with a bandage. If the redness starts to expand, you get a fever, or if there is pus, seek medical help immediately.

My mother had a small lump on her hand so can she take moxiforce cv 625 this medicine

Female | 58

Any lump or soft tissue can be due to many reasons like injury, inflammation, or even tumors. Moxiforce CV 625 is a medicine prescribed to treat infections, but without determining the exact cause of the lump, it is not advisable to use it. It is more preferable to have a doctor to check the lump and decide which is the best treatment.

I applied a sunnies face lipstick accidentally ( without examining the lipstick before because i had used it yesterday and it looked fine ) today there was some yellow thin patch on the top part of the lipstick , I wiped it off with water , applied face was ( ponds ) on my lips and then brushed my teeth. Is it okay? should I be concerned? I am not feeling uncomfortable. what should i do with the lipstick? I applied it on my hand ( path was removed after i applied on my lips ) and the texture was fine , with no rash. should I wait and see if the mold regrows? Also i store my lipsticks in dry cool place and i have never mixed it with any other lipstick i just bought it a month ago and used only a few times.

Female | 17

You used a lipstick that may have had some mold on it. Makeup products mold due to age or contamination sometimes. The yellow spot you noticed could be mold. You do not feel any discomfort, so you are probably fine. Always remember to wash the lipstick before using it again. You should also check for any changes on your lips and see a doctor if you notice something unusual.

I have a little white spot in right lower lip side from 6 months. It is remain same , I have used Glukoskin cream and syrup, green ointment cream but no relief. How it will cure. It having no pain and no itching etc

Female | 22

Considering that you’ve already undergone creams and syrups without any use, it’s necessary to take into account other alternatives. This white spot can be due to several causes such as a non-dangerous cyst, a fungal infection, or a condition named leukoplakia. Although it is not itching and painless, we would still recommend you to visit a healthcare provider for a correct diagnosis. They may propose a biopsy for the identification of the cause and the best treatment plans for you. Don't forget that a stitch in time saves nine!
