How can I fade dark spots on my hands?

I'm a 19 year old girl. Recently, due to personal problems and mental trauma, I cut my hands with a blade. But the cut was not deep. It's been 5-6 months and the spots are still there. I apply Azelaic Acid since few weeks, but the spots are still there. It is not like scarred scar, it just makes my skin black. Please help me to fade these dark spots, as now I feel embarassed. Please.

These dark spots are known as hyperpigmentation administered after skin injury therapy. This is a natural condition that occurs after any injury to the skin, such as a cut or a scrape. Azelaic Acid is a very suitable solution, but, likely, you will not see impressive outcomes soon. Vitamin C serum and products with niacinamide are also good for you. Always remember to protect your skin from the sun with sunscreen.

Is there a chance to be caught by Hiv if someone's diabetes needle pricked my hand

Female | 19

The likelihood of HIV infection is negligible if a diabetic needle pricks your hand. HIV is transferred via blood, however, the needle prick is not a high-risk exposure. If you are concerned, watch out for symptoms such as flu, fever, or rash. If you see them, go to a doctor.

Does wound sting if you put a NaCL?

Female | 18

If you put salt (NaCl) on a cut it may hurt a bit. The reason for this is that salt is able to kill germs. Therefore if you rub salt in a wound it will only be painful temporarily. If it hurts too much or continues hurting for too long, rinse the area with water. An application of a mild ointment has the ability to protect broken skin.

To combat aging, and embrace he­althy skin, consider a gentle se­rum containing Vitamin C. Complement this with a moisturizer infuse­d with hyaluronic acid, and during daytime, apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or highe­r. Dark under-eye circle­s? Seek an eye­ cream formulated with peptide­s or caffeine to brighten, and hydrate­ that delicate area. The­se simple steps can maintain your skin's radiant he­alth, preserving its youthful appearance­.

I'm 27 year old, having acne issue for 2 years, consulted with skin specialist however no improvement problem is same, it's seems like small bumbs on face, what should I do ?

Female | 27

Acne is multi-factorial problem, hormonal disease in most of the patients, diet, exercise, hygiene, grooming practices play important role.so visiting dermatologist and taking treatment is one option and maintain treatment for long time because if you are getting any improvement with the treatment then continue it otherwise dermatologist will change it. there are few things that has to be taken care. One thing not to apply hair oil, avoid having dandruff or use anti-dandruff shampoos weekly on the scalp, using face washes that have salicylic acid or glycolic acid. Avoid using thick greasy moisturizers or cream on the face. Use only creams that are gel based or water based. Drink plenty of water, avoid fat or cheesy diet, exercise 10-15 mins of the day. Topical steroids have to be avoided. Topical antibiotics like Clindamycin are useful. Oral Antibiotics or retinoids are advised.

I have recurrent canker sores for the past 6 months, taken antibiotics and oral care but it keep coming. Please what could be the cause

Male | 34

The pesky thing is recurrent canker sores. They are small, shallow sores in your mouth. A stressor, weakness of the immune system, and certain foods can provoke them. Genetic predisposition may also be a reason why some folks are more prone to having them. To reduce pain, use over-the-counter ointments or gels that are intended for canker sores. Also, try to sail through stress and eat a healthy diet.
