Why won't my razor bumps go away with ketoconazole cream?

I have this razor bumps that has refused to go I ve used ketoconazole cream but still no results

Razor bumps can appear after you shave, and are tender bumps with inflammation. The prescription of ketoconazole cream is the ideal choice but it is not guaranteed to completely solve the problem of razor bumps. To further improve razor bumps, a gentle exfoliating scrub can be applied to remove the dead skin cells and thus prevent the hairs from getting trapped. It is important to hydrate the shaving area thoroughly after the procedure. If the skin rashes become even more intense, visit a dermatologist for assistance.

At times, ingrown hairs cause little red bumps which can be annoying. I know that ketoconazole cream works great for some skin problems but I’m not sure if it would help with razor bumps. Maybe try using a mild exfoliating scrub to get rid of these pesky little bumps. Do not shave over them until they have cleared up! You might want to see a dermatologist who can give you some tailored advice if this doesn’t work.

Razor bumps are such little red spots that they can appear suddenly after shaving. The ketoconazole cream is quite a good starting point, but it can sometimes not be strong enough. These bumps are caused by the hair curling back into the skin which creates an irritation. For others, a dermatologist's visit might help them with a stronger treatment.

Razor bumps, also known as pseudofolliculitis barbae, develop when the hairs curl back into the skin after shaving, causing redness and bumps to appear. You might want to use a warm compress to soften the skin first, then gently exfoliate to help the hairs grow out correctly. You should avoid shaving for a while to let the skin heal. If it does not get better, go to a dermatologist for further treatment.

I am 22years old female and have acne or my face for last few years. I have not taken any treatment before this. And my one more thing is I have acne which are filled filled with pus, kindly suggest me what to do? How I can get rid of it?

Female | 22

Acne can cause by hormonal changes, stress, genetics, or other factors. If you have acne that is filled with pus, it is likely that you have an infection. Consult a dermatologist as soon as possible in order to get the proper treatment. You may need topical medication, an antibiotic or other treatment to get rid of the infection and reduce the breakouts. Keep your skin clean and moisturized, avoid touching your face again and again, and limit your exposure to dust and pollution.

I am a 28 year female, with oily skin, having complaints regarding acne, acne scars, tanning, uneven skin tone and dullness. Can I get treatment options for my concerns as well as the cost so as to proceed further. Thank you!

Female | 28

There are many treatment options available to help address your concerns. You can choose from a basic skincare routine to more involved treatments such as laser treatments, chemical peels, light therapy, micro-needling, and laser treatments for acne scarring. These will work by stimulating new collagen in your skin, which can help reduce the appearance of scars. You can look into chemical peels, laser treatments, and light therapies for hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. These treatments can help to break down pigmented cells and stimulate new cell growth, which in turn can help reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation. For dullness, you can look into facial treatments such as microdermabrasion, which can help to exfoliate your skin and reduce dullness. Cost of these treatments can vary widely, depending on the type of treatment you choose. It is best to consult with a dermatologist to get better treatment options.

Age-41yrs. From last 3 years suffering from a black patch all around my lips, specially below the lips on both sides. I had visited a doctor there who detected the problem to be Perical pig / Melasma Pg as written in the prescription. Treated me with the following medicines For the 1st month- Cetaphil gentle cleanser, Flutivate E cream alternate night and Kojic cream once in a day. Next visit I was advised to use Kojiglo cream once daily, Eukroma+Flutivate E cream on the patches twice a week. But I did not find any difference. I had informed the doctor that I cannot afford a very costly treatment, but on her assurance during my third visit I was applied Glycocil pack but yet felt no difference. Then was asked to use Dermadew Caloe lotion every day and Azideenz 10% gel once a day, this gel made my skin rough, when complained she advised me to use only Dermadew lotion day and night daily. My face is 2 to 3 shades darker than my body color. What to do now to get rid of this patch

Female | 41

Without a proper evaluation and diagnosis, I can't say. But normally, suggested treatments for perical pigmentation include topical medications and laser treatments and I do not recommend flutivate cream for pigmentation. However, based on your individual condition, the doctor will recommend the best treatment for you.

How to cure allergic rhinitis permanently?

Allergic rhinitis is a condition with recurrent sneezes in morning due to the particular exposure to allergens and identifying the allergens and avoiding it can lead to permanent cure. The main treatment remains to be the anti-allergic prescribed by the doctor. Non Sedative anti Allergic are preferred.

I am 18 years old teenager and I want to remove tanning from my whole body and I also want to reduce the melanin secretion in my body ..so please prefer me best kojic acid soap for daily use

Male | 18

Tanning is produced by the skin when it absorbs more sunlight. This is the process that involves melanin, a protein that protects the skin. To decrease tanning and melanin, try a kojic acid soap. This soap can decrease the melanin in your skin and thus brighten your skin's color. For best results, use it daily.

Hydroquinone for skin lightening

Male | 18

Let me give you the lowdown on hydroquinone: it’s a common ingredient found in skin lightening products. This is because it works by reducing melanin in the skin. So if you have dark spots such as age or sun spots, using hydroquinone could help fade them away. However, don’t forget that you must be cautious not to misuse it since this can cause some undesired effects. As a rule, always follow directions given by the manufacturer when using any cosmetic product and also watch out for any allergic reactions.

My left leg is wounded and have swelling by itching.

Male | 56

Looks like you got a wound in your left leg that’s swollen and itchy. Swelling and itching can occur when the body is healing a wound. It might be infected or irritated. To relieve these symptoms, ensure the wound is clean, use a mild antiseptic, and elevate your leg to reduce swelling. Change dressings frequently to prevent infection.

I have cut marks nd that cutted by knife.. marks are getting more visible day by day, I'm using glycerine but I can't see any effect, I can't visit the doctor cause my parents don't know abt theese cut marks, I wanna cure it naturally at home so please suggest something

Female | 18

It is not unusual for the untreated cut marks to turn into scars. Maybe the diluted glycerine solution will not be sufficient to help. You can consider adding some aloe vera gel to speed up the healing. Ensure the cut area is cleansed and well moisturized to let nature do the rest of the healing.
