Best Skin Care Products for Dark Dry Skin
Skin care products for dark dry skin types
Dermatologist
Answered on 21st Aug '24
When dry, dark skin feels tight or rough, itchiness happens sometimes. This dryness arises due to cold air, harsh soaps, and lack of water. Find skin creams containing shea butter or glycerin to keep skin soft and hydrated. Hyaluronic acid also helps. Use sunscreen always and drink lots of water. Hot showers damage by stripping natural oils away from the skin. So they're best avoided.

Female | 20
The treatment for scars on the nose and cheeks due to specs and acne will depend on the type of scars you have and the severity of them. Treatments can range from laser resurfacing, chemical peels, dermabrasion, microneedling, and even fillers. The cost of these treatments can vary widely depending on the type of treatment chosen and the area being treated. It is best to consult with a dermatologist to get an accurate cost estimate for the treatment you are considering.

Hello. Roughly one month ago I purchased a home wart removal kit to remove what appeared to be a benign wart on the back of my knee. The nozzle on this device broke during use, spraying an area roughly two inches in diameter on my skin with dimethyl ether. This caused a small superficial frostbite/burn, but didn't take care of the wart so I used another kit afterwards which used a swab rather than a nozzle. After using both of these, the area blistered. This blister quickly popped and fell off on its own after just a day, leaving an area of incredibly raw and bloody skin. I applied neosporin to this area regularly and kept it clean allowing it to heal. It's been a month now and while this area isn't entirely healed, it has protective skin on it now. My issue here is the area has a blotchy dark coloration now, looking almost like bruising. This seems odd to me given that it's been a month now, should I be worried about this coloration? There is no pain at the site, though the skin there is quite thin and rough.

Its natural to experience discoloration in skin especially after a blister or wound has occurred. color changes during the healing process. It could be due to hyperpigmentation which is the increased production of melanin in that area. This can result in a bruise-like appearance.

Dr. Alvin's Product No. 4 Peeling Set I use on my face for 36 days. My skin is very oily and sensitive. The peeling product did not give good results after using it on my skin. Currently my skin is white and black. Now what can I do?
Female | 19
The white and black spots you noticed could result from product irritation. This might've caused hyperpigmentation. Stop using the product immediately. Use a gentle, moisturizing cleanser and moisturizer made for sensitive skin instead. Wear sunscreen daily to protect your skin. Give your skin time to heal, avoiding harsh products. If the changes persist or worsen, consult a dermatologist.

I have small spots developing on the sole of my foot
Male | 21
Plantar warts are harmless bumps. They're caused by a virus going into your skin through tiny cuts. The growths may be raised and have black dots in the middle. Try over-the-counter medicines to treat them. But if the warts don't go away, see a dermatologist for more treatment.

I am 22 years old and I am facing with eczema on my finger it's kind of a dry itchy and small swellings on that finger and that spreading on other fingers of my hand too I have tried many creams but it helps temporarily and again the condition continues.. what should I do?
Female | 22
When ignored, eczema can cause dry, itchy skin with small bumps that may spread to other fingers. This condition is usually not contagious but uncomfortable. Eczema may be brought about by allergens or irritants present in the environment or stressors at home or the workplace. To manage this kind of problem, always keep the skin moisturized all the time; avoid anything that triggered the outbreak such as harsh detergent soaps among others–instead use mild ones which are readily available over-the-counter (OTC) drugs like hydrocortisone creams can also work effectively if prescribed by doctors specializing in treating diseases related with epidermis.

I have ringworm for almost 4 months .some of the ringworm in my inner thighs and now in pubic area too.Some of them under my breast too.applied clotrimazole, terbinafine ointments. But didn't worked.What should I do
Female | 18
It looks like you have bad case of ringworm which did not respond to the OTC medicines. I suggest that as soon as possible you see a dermatologist who specializes in fungal infections. They may give you oral antifungal medicine and topical treatment to improve the result. Seek urgent medical care since untreated ringworm can cause problems.

Nido r Biofiber transplant
Male | 27
Nido and Biofibre are two types of alternative artificial hair transplantation procedures that can be used instead of traditional techniques. Nido incorporates the use of synthetic fibers that mimic natural hair, whereas Biofibre uses biocompatible artificial fibers to lower allergies. Both of these operations are less invasive than traditional hair transplants and can provide faster results, but there is a risk of infection or rejection by an organism. It is important to consult an expert dermatologist or hair transplant specialist in order to know the risks and benefits of these approaches for treating your peculiar case.

Hi doctor, I'm experiencing skin redness and severe itching. and it's really uncomfortable. Please let me know about regarding the cause and medications if any thanks
Male | 25
You’re dealing with a skin problem known as eczema. Eczema can make the skin red and extremely itchy because it’s inflamed. You should use mild skin care products regularly and moisturize often to help yourself. If you need relief, try using some over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream. Don’t scratch or it will get worse. In case these signs don’t go away or become worse, see a dermatologist for more help.

I have chapped lips, i have been suffering from it past 1 year. And from last 8 months i never licked ky lips. The upper part of ky lips feel very itchy and burnt. And i even lost my upper lips hairs
Female | 17
Dry, inflamed lips are a sign of cheilitis. Chapped lips seem common but ignoring them risks worsening the issue. Dry weather, licking lips, or allergies instigate this condition. Gentle lip balms with hydrating ingredients like coconut oil or shea butter can help. Avoiding licking lips and drinking enough water benefits too. However, if problems persist, seeing a dermatologist becomes crucial for proper evaluation and effective treatment.

Female | 19
You could be facing excessive hair thinning and loss due to several reasons like stress, poor diet, or hormonal changes. Schedule an appointment with a dermatologist to diagnose the problem. However, focus on a rich supply of vitamins and minerals, as well as avoiding harsh chemicals on the hair after consulting a dermatologist.

The signs you are experiencing e.g. Redness, itching, and rashes may be due to various reasons. This could be because of your allergies, stress, weather changes, or some products that could be irritants to your skin. To solve this, you can use gentle skincare products, stop the triggers you might think are causing the issue, and regularly wash and hydrate your skin.

Female | 37
You might have had a cyst on your back. It is a sac filled with fluid or pus formed under the skin. If infected, it can be red, white, or black, and the skin can be painful. By the way, the liquid is freed when pressed and the cyst is emptied. The doctor should examine it to be sure it is cared for and removed.

Can I take glutathione for skin whitening
Male | 15
Glutathione isn't FDA approved for skin lightening.. Limited research available.. Possible side effects.. Discuss with doctor.. it is IMPORTANT to note that the use of glutathione for skin lightening comes with SERIOUS risks.. While it is MARKETED as a "natural" alternative to traditional skin lightening treatments, there is NO conclusive evidence to support its effectiveness.. The FDA HAS NOT approved glutathione for skin lightening purposes, which means that its safety and effectiveness have NOT been thoroughly tested

Male | 18
Your skin might be affected by acanthosis nigricans which is identified by dark patches, even on the throat and joints. Being overweight and having high blood pressure are risk factors for this. The treatment is to lose weight and control the BP, as a result, the patches can be healed. Follow a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and be consistent with your prescribed medications to control your blood pressure.

Male | 19
At this age, hair fall and thinning can be upsetting. These problems can be due to various factors like heredity, stress, diet, or hormonal changes. Minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used together to stop hair loss and promote hair growth. It is best to visit a dermatologist to know how often to use them. Starting the treatment is the first step to improving your hair condition, but you should also be patient and wait for some time to see the results.

It sounds like you could be experiencing balanitis, inflammation of the foreskin of the penis, often caused by irritation or a yeast infection. Symptoms may include white pimples, swelling, and itchiness. Keeping the area clean and dry, avoiding irritants, and using over-the-counter antifungal cream can help relieve symptoms. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, it's crucial to seek immediate advice from a dermatologist for detailed assessment and medical treatment.
