Mistakenly Consuming Evening Primrose Oil for Skin

I think I have accidentally been consuming evening primrose oil for the skin thinking it was a food supplement

1 Answer

Answered on 12th Sept '24

Evening primrose oil isn't harmful to the skin, but accidentally consuming it might cause mild stomach issues like nausea or diarrhea. It's not serious, so just stop using it and drink plenty of water to help flush it out. If you feel very uncomfortable, consult a dermatologist for advice.

I have applied persol forte cream for 3 days on my face, due to which dark patches have appeared on my face. On those dark patches no pimples are coming.. what I use to remove that dark patches ?

Female | 23

I would firstly advise you to please stop using persol forte cream immediately and consult an experienced dermatologist for your issue. The dermatologist will examine your condition and will suggest the most appropriate treatment accordingly which may include oral medications, topical treatments and lifestyle changes. You may also be asked to undergo some additional tests to rule out any underlying medical problem. Thanks.

Given the complexity of the case and the various symptoms described, the patient must consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management. The dermatologist can conduct a comprehensive assessment to determine the underlying cause of the recurring brown and black spots, scrotal ulcers, HPV-related carcinoma, and other symptoms.

I am hving acne from very long time. I have taken treatment for 2 year my skin get clear for that period of time but after i had stopped treatment they occur . I also prefer to atake homeopathy but i am not getting solution an i want permanent solution that my acne would get end. Help me with tha best doctor and i want painless treatment

Female | 25

There is no permanent cure for acne. acne is the continuous process because of the oil glands in the skin that are more sensitive and reacting to the hormones in your body that might fluctuate or might be in abnormal quantity, that result in more oil secretion on the seborrheic areas like face and chest, that is resulting in bumps or impulse. If you are getting relief by the treatment, you have to continue some sort of treatment even after acne is gone like no oiling of the face, use anti dandruff shampoos, use salicylic facewash, avoid using thick creams, use topical agent for management of acne, increase water intake, avoid high calorie diet and exercise regularly.

I have a rash on my armpits and on both but it mainly itches on my left armpit and I’ve tried putting on antibiotics cream and Benadryl cream and it still itches and not getting better I haven’t been putting on deodorant either because of it

Female | 33

It seems to be a fungal infection in your left armpit. I suggest you see a dermatologist to look into the rash, and get a medication accordingly. Deodorant should also be avoided as it might make the situation worse.

I am a 18 year old male. I used my friends derma roller . And now I am anxious if I can get hiv from it although he doesn't have hiv. The roller was disinfected before I used it with spray alcohol.

Male | 18

It is safe to use a friend's derma roller after disinfection if it has been sprayed with alcohol. HIV is a sexual infection; sharing needles is one of the transmitter. A sterilized roller is thus no cause of fear or stress if someone else has got HIV. Such sterilized tools do not risk transmitting HIV.

I want to my permanent hair removal on chest

Male | 37

Permanent hair removal on chest is possible . Laser therapy is the best option.. It works by targeting hair roots with heat... Results are long-lasting.. Few side effects like redness and swelling may occur. Multiple sessions may be required. Maintenance sessions may be necessary. Consult a dermatologist for the best treatment plan.
