How do I reduce keloid scars on my skin?
I have keloid scars on my upper chest and one on the side of my stomach. Both are raised and very pigmented. I am looking for topical (non-invasive) treatment options that would reduce the appearance of the scars. I would like to understand which combination of gels and creams would work best for my goals? E.g applying silicone cream gels and layering silicone gel sheets, then using bio oil etc.

Keloid scars are marks that are raised and dark because of the excessive collagen. These scars can be highly annoying for people. Utilization of silicone gel or sheets will assist in the flattening and bleaching of the scars. Besides, the application of bio-oil can be even more effective in enhancing the look. Hence, the most important thing is the time and patience to stick to the treatment to be able to see the effects of it.

I have used demelan cream for face to reduce dark spots. Now my skin is became red and like burning sensation.
Male | 23
You might have an allergic reaction to the demelan cream. Irritation of some type of ingredient may cause redness and a burning sensation in the cream. It's best to stop using the cream immediately and wash your face with gentle soap and water. Soothing the skin with a calming moisturizer is recommended. However, if the symptoms persist, you should consult a dermatologist.

I am 25years old, I have been battling with dark knuckles, in fact, the more I apply knuckles cream, the more it gets worse, so recently I thought of getting Gluthatione pills and start using them so my hands and legs can be uniform again. But I am afraid it might have side effects, please help me.....I will do anything you ask me to do at this moment.
Female | 25
Consult with your doctor before you start taking any new supplement. There are several options available if you are looking for natural ways to lighten dark knuckles. You can try exfoliating the affected area with a gentle scrub, apply lemon juice, or using a product that contains natural bleaching ingredients such as aloe vera, papaya, and turmeric.

I'm a 41 year old male, i have a white patch on my inner cheek with rashes, that cause a bit of a burning sensation. I smoke quite regularly. My dental health is not that great either.
Male | 41
You appear to be dealing with a disease called oral leukoplakia. The condition can come as a result of smoking and not having good dental hygiene. The main signs are the appearance of the white patch and rashes together with a burning sensation. It is important to throw away tobacco and take care of the mouth more effectively. In addition, take a dentist's appointment to make sure you get the proper treatment.

I am 18 yo male I'm facing balanitis for more than a week now and it is becoming sever day by day one day it reduces and the other day it increases it has become red now and a bit swollen i it's very irritating and giving a burning sensation while washed
Male | 18
This may result from using strong soaps or failure to clean properly below the foreskin; additionally, yeast infections are common causes for such symptoms. Therefore, make sure that you wash with water only tenderly without using any soap as well as keeping the area dry. If this does not help it get better within a couple of days then go see a dermatologist who will give medicine which can cure this problem quickly.

Sir, I am 23 year old. I don't have beard. I barely have any hair under my chin. Please help me with my beard growth.
Male | 23
The dermatologist will first need your family history and trichoscopy examination for the evidence of vellus hairs. Then they might begin their treatment with minoxidil, micro-needling and Growth factor injections. If no improvement is seen however, then they will suggest hair transplant.

I am 18 years old female and I am suffering from cystic acne since past few years. I tried everything possible.. went to dermatologist but nothing worked.... What should I do now ?
Female | 18
Cystic acne at the age 0f 18 years indicates underlying hormonal cause like PCOS, insulin resistance etc. this can be evaluated by certain blood tests and scans. Please consult an experienced dermatologist for the same. Intra lesional triamcinolone injections, oral retinoids, oral contraceptive pills, etc may be recommended once the cause is established by the Dermatologist. Proper dosing and adequate medication course is needed for satisfactory results in severe acne forms like cystic acne.

Few small bumps on penis
Male | 29
It can be due to a range of conditions such as Fordyce spots, pimples, or genital warts. It is advisable to visit a dermatologist or a urologist for basic check-op to make sure there is no serious condition. Do not self-diagnose or treat yourself at home, because it can only result in your aggravation of the situation.

Liquid leaking from red ears often signals infection. This ailment frequently arises after swimming or incomplete ear drying. Accompanying symptoms comprise auditory issues and aching sensations. However, if discomfort persists, visit an ENT specialist.

i have tiny pimple-like blisters on my palms, hands and fingers, they arent itchy at all but they can tend to be a little painful at times, they have recently appeared on my feet and on my soles, i am 21 years old and this is the first time such is happening in my life
Female | 21
You may have dyshidrotic eczema. It looks like small blisters on hands, fingers, and feet. Irritants, allergies, or stress cause this condition. Though not itchy, blisters feel painful sometimes. Keep hands and feet cool and dry. Use mild products. Avoid triggers like certain soaps or foods. If it worsens, see a dermatologist.

About skin problem I, I have dark skin tone I have to whiten my skin .
Female | 19
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.

Hello doctor iam getting red dots on skin every where is it soriasis iam very worrying about it can u plz clarify
Male | 17
Your skin’s red dots are psoriasis symptoms but you must seek a dermatologist for an appropriate diagnosis. Psoriasis is an autoimmune, chronic skin disease affecting the joints. A dermatologist may assess your symptoms and recommend suitable treatment measures.

I suddenly move Rajasthan here temprature 48° my full body back sunburn skin damage and full body itching and pimples redness please suggest me best cream and moisturizer for speedy recovery
Male | 26
This happens when the sun’s rays damage your skin; it makes it turn red and sometimes itch or even have bumps that look like pimples. A mild lotion containing aloe plus some moisturizer should be applied frequently to speed up treatment. For now, however, take much fluid since this will help speed up recovery too; rest in a cool place without being exposed again until things get better.

Male | 31
It seems there's irritation from your podophyllin treatment on your private parts. The burning and peeling skin could indicate a reaction. Stop using it right away. Gently wash the area with cool water and mild soap. Put calming aloe vera cream to soothe irritation.

I had a scar on face slightly below the left eye. I want to know the procedure for scar removal/ laser treatment
Male | 25
Scars can result from acne, injury, independent surgical procedure, or pox. A dermatologist will be able to prescribe various solutions ranging from ointments, to injections, dermabrasion, chemical peel, laser and even surgery, to be able to treat it. Same will depend on the extent to which your scar is raised above your skin, or how dark it happens to be. While I think that CO2 laser or MNRF (Microneedling radiofrequency, a kind of cosmetic surgery) could help you, but no proper conclusion can be reached without prior consultation. Please refer to a dermatologist for this!

Hi I got a cyst on my cheek and it’s starting to swelling around my eye
Female | 18
Cysts can make the area swell, feel tender, and look red. They may occur due to blocked oil glands or hair follicles. Don't touch or squeeze it. Using warm compresses helps ease swelling. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a dermatologist.
