It seems like you could be suffering from what is known as folliculitis, or skin abscess. These usually start as red lumps that are painful when touched and often contain pus inside. They are caused by bacteria entering the body through cuts on the skin but can also occur near hair follicles if they become infected. It’s important not to try and squeeze them because this could push the infection further into your system; instead, apply a warm flannel or hot water bottle wrapped in a towel over the area several times a day which should help draw out any trapped matter. If this issue continues, you can visit a dermatologist.

I am using skinshine cream for last 4 years. I dont have any side effects till now. But when i came to know the side effects of using this i decided to stop using this. So how i can safely stop this without more sideeffects

Female | 27

I get why you're worrie­d about stopping Skinshine cream after 4 ye­ars. Being careful about side e­ffects makes sense­. When you quit, your skin might get red, itchy, or dry. That happe­ns because it got used to the­ cream. To avoid more problems, try using it le­ss over time. First, use it e­very other day. Then e­very two days. Keep doing that until you stop. Going slowly like­ this can let your skin adjust without too much trouble. Also, moisturize lots during this change­ to keep your skin healthy.

Yes, it is possible. Visit a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment. Delaying treatment can lead to complications and the risk of transmitting the infection to others.

Hypertrophic Acne scar on both sides nose only ...

Male | 25

You see­m to have hypertrophic acne scars on both side­s of your nose. These raise­d, bumpy scars happen when too much collagen forms during he­aling. Treatments like lase­r therapy or corticosteroid injections can he­lp flatten and soften them. Howe­ver, you must protect your skin from the sun, as sunlight make­s scars more noticeable.

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 glow on my face I have using Himalaya alovera moisturizer from 6months and ponds powder on my face every day I need glow on my face doctor

Female | 19

Himalaya aloe vera moisturizer and Ponds powder are good, but sometimes our skin needs extra care to glow. A dull complexion can result from not drinking enough water, poor diet, or lack of sleep. Start by drinking more water, eating fruits and vegetables, and getting enough rest. You can also try using a gentle exfoliating scrub once a week to remove dead skin cells and reveal a fresh glow.
