How can I prevent keloid recurrence after surgery?
I did surgery on Keloid on my back but the wound is not healing fast. Please what do should I do to stop the keloid from growing back again.

Answered on 30th May '24
A keloid is when the skin grows too much after an injury has healed. They may feel itchy or painful. You could use silicone sheets or gel over the wound to stop it from growing back. Additionally, ask your physician about corticosteroid injections which can help flatten the keloid.

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.

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.

Dark skin is beautiful! However, if lightening your complexion interests you, care is essential. Sun exposure, hormonal shifts, or medication may cause natural lightening effects. For gradual, safe lightening, use dermatologist-approved gentle creams.

I am having dull and dehydrated skin and dark spots.. Since 3 years I have pimple on nose later I poped it and it turned out to be a dark spot on my nose ???? ..
Female | 14
It seems like your skin is dry and lacks brightness; besides the pimple scars on your nose. Skin becomes dull due to lack of water in it. Spots get darker as a result of spots. Drink water and wash your face regularly using mild soap then apply lotion too. In addition, you can wear sunscreen to prevent the darkening of these patches further.

Hello I have been having a skin infection of something that looks like ringworm. It starts like a pimple and later widens into different sizes. It started appearing on my thighs and is now appearing on every other part of my body except my face and scalp. There are moments when my skin is void of any but on other periods it appears almost every where with a lot on my fingers and palms. It's been on and off for more than 10 years now. I've consulted several dematologist with each having a different diagnosis and prescribing different creams to be applied on the affected spots but those have not helped me in any way. I truly do not know what else to do. Please help.
Female | 27
Ringworms often spread and return if not treated well. Fungal infections love warm, damp body areas. Antifungal creams don't always work for severe and stubborn infections. I suggest seeing an experienced dermatologist. They can evaluate your unique condition much better and recommend medications or other treatments suitable for this.

How to reduce burn red smoothness swelling
Female | 18
For effective burn treatment, it is highly advised to immerse the injured part in cold water immediately to reduce redness, smoothness, and swelling. Then, you can finish it up by patting the skin dry and applying aloe vera gel or a cold compress. They are managed over the counter to help. If you suffer from a major burn, or if it is spread over a large area, make sure to visit a dermatologist or a burn specialist.

Female | 32
Itchy hands and feet may be because of eczema, contact dermatitis to detergents, soaps, sanitisers and chemicals, Psoriasis etc. Avoiding triggering factors, excess use of detergents, harsh soaps or sanitisers may reduce the severity and acute flares. Good emollients can help restore the skin barrier. Antibiotics may be needed to prevent infections through the bleeding skin. Mild handwashes and soaps are recommended to prevent worsening of the skin prevent stripping of natural oil from the skin. Oral antihistamines, oral corticosteroids may be recommended for a short duration under supervision in case of severe flares by a dermatologist.

Female | 18
Hair loss can be frustrating, and it’s a common issue that many people experience. There are several reasons, including stress, diet, genetics, and certain medical conditions. If water quality isn't the cause, it's important to consider your diet. Reducing stress, using gentle shampoos, and making dietary adjustments may help. However, if hair loss persists, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist who can evaluate underlying health issues.

my ten year old daughter who has a few white spots on her knees bilaterally and also a white spot on her left eyelid. What is it, it’s not painful nor itchy but has grown in size in the last month on her knees. Her eyelid started as very dry skin then a white spot. Please advise
Female | 10
Your daughter might have vitiligo, a common skin condition that causes white patches on the skin. It doesn’t cause pain or itching but can spread over time. The exact cause isn’t clear, but it may affect the immune system. While treatments are available, managing the condition can be challenging. It’s important to consult a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and discuss the best treatment options for your daughter.

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.
Female | 16
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.

More big Pimple on face and black spot and white spots
Male | 19
Pimples are the result of clogged pores due to oil and dead skin. Dirt or oil that is entrapped may be the reason for the formation of black and white spots. For help, the best way to go is to wash your face delicately two times every day, use products that are oil free. However, if it persists consult a dermatologist right away.

There is ear problem My ear is wetting
Female | 48
Such a condition can arise when the fluid accumulates within your ear, which frequently occurs when swimming or showering. Some indications of this may be difficulty in hearing or the sensation of a full ear. It's best to stay away from anything that can be inserted into your ear and to consult an ENT specialist who can assist you with this problem.

Skin redness and irritation have been linked to the use of Clindamycin Phosphate Gel 3%. You may be having an allergic reaction to the gel. It is advised that you should discontinue the use of gel and seek consultation with a dermatologist for appropriate assessment and treatment.

Male 52..lately i have this sour and white toungue..scrap it off..it gone..but will come back again..im a smoker and drinker..what causes this..is it alcohol or smoking or caffiene
Male | 52
It appears that you are experiencing symptoms of oral thrush, a condition that causes your tongue to be covered in white. Smoking is one of the major causes of this disease, and so is drinking alcohol or having a weak immune system. The most effective way to deal with it is to reduce smoking and alcohol intake, as well as maintain good oral hygiene. Additionally, drinking more water can also help.

Male | 47
If this did happen, don’t panic too much, as it can occur. Ketoconazole contains an ingredient that can be harmful when ingested. Symptoms such as stomach ache, nausea, or vomiting are likely to occur. If you notice any of these signs, seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, try not to get too worked up about it. Instead, drink plenty of water to help reduce the concentration of the drug in your system.
