How can I fade old dark mosquito bite marks?

I'm 25 years old and I have very old dark mosquito bite marks and scars on arms and legs. Please tell me how to get rid of it and make it fade.

1 Answer

Answered on 1st Nov '24

The marks are the result of the body's response to the mosquito's saliva. They may gradually diminish by themselves over time, however, you can also apply over-the-counter creams with ingredients such as hydroquinone or vitamin E that will help in the process. Remember, use sunscreen and cover your skin to avoid more bites.

Hello doctor. I am rohit bisht. I am 18 years old. Please suggest me how to recover and stop hair whitening

Male | 18

Hair going white with age or being genetic is a usual thing. Skin problems and tension also cause this. Do something for yourself if under stress; take deep breaths maybe start doing yoga. Have a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals as they play a crucial role in preventing premature greying. If possible use plant-based dyes because they don’t contain harmful chemicals however; don’t forget to handle your hair gently while dying it so that you may not end up damaging it further.

Sir I had fungal infection so I used derobin gel and now my skin is black though my fungal infection gone...but there is black pigmentation on my skin on stomach how to remove that

Male | 24

You may have hyperpigmentation after inflammation, which is a consequence of skin inflammation such as a fungal infection. The dark color of the skin is the result of the skin's recovery mechanism. A gentle exfoliating scrub or a vitamin C-rich skin-brightening cream are examples, you can fade the pigmentation by trying them. It is important to use an SPF product as UV rays can aggravate the pigmentation.

Can stress cause bruising

Female | 23

Worry does not leave marks on your skin. Howe­ver, it may cause restle­ssness. Restless pe­ople sometimes scratch or bump into obje­cts. This can result in bruises forming. Fee­ling tense weake­ns your body's defenses. A we­akened immune syste­m makes bruising more likely. To pre­vent stress-relate­d bruising, you should find ways to relax. Try calming activities, exe­rcising regularly, and eating nutritious foods.

They can give personalized instructions on treating Tretinoin cream and further guide the active ingredients that are safe to use in your morning routine.

If its only acne marks, continuing your acne treatment with facewash and gels will improve it. Some topical agents also helps in removing the pigmentation and marks of the acne. Even Salic acid 20% gel at night on spots is helpful. Glyco 6 or Glycolic acid 6% is recommended for application on the face. Acne compatible sunscreen is also helpful. Chemical Peeling with glycolic acid or salicylic acid is useful

I am 21 year old female. I have premature gery hair for last 4 years . But day by it increases. What should I do now?

Female | 21

It’s common to get gray hair early, especially if it started in your teenage years. This can be due to genetics, stress, or diet. While it might seem worrying, gray hair usually isn't a sign of a serious health problem. You can choose to use hair dye or embrace your natural look. Remember to eat a balanced diet, manage stress, and take good care of your hair.
