If you've use­d steroids frequently, quitting the­m may make your skin look lifeless and discolore­d. That's because steroids impact how skin produce­s pigment. To improve your skin, you'll nee­d medical help to slowly reduce­ then stop using steroids. Be patie­nt - recovery takes time­. Eat well, drink water, and wear sunscre­en.

Questions & Answers on "Dermatologyy" (2100)

I have oily skin and acne problem. The problem is that scars are not removed completely. Some are getting light but not removed completely. I recently heard about microdermabrasion for acne scars from one of my friends. Does it really work? I am 23 now. Does it have any side effects?

Female | 23

If you have oily skin and acne problem, sometimes if acne is severe they might burst or get infected or if you pick your acne too much they might result into scars. As per Dermatologist there are 5 types of scars which are commonly encountered. 
1. Ice Picks Scars: Very small in surface but deep and narrow below. 
2. Roll-Over Scars: Wide but borders are difficult to appreciate 
3. Box-car Scars: wide and borders can be easily appreciated. 
4. Open pores like Scars: Small Ice Pick Scars 
5. Hyper-trophic Scars: 
so the treatment for the scars depends upon the type of scars. Commonly treatment which are effective are TCA cross, subsition treatment, microneedling, microneedling radiofrequency, PRP treatment, CO2 Laser, RBM Glass laser and even dermal fillers. 
As you are 23 and you are asking about microdermabrasion, it removes superficial skin layers and it is effective only for superficial scars which are not very deep. This might require you multiple sessions like 8-10 sessions for it to work. Instead of Microdermabrasion you can go for microneedling, microneedling radiofrequency which will require less number of sessions and on top of it you can add PRP to it.

I had acne breakout in my forehead and chin

Female | 28

The forehead and chin acne breakout is a skin disorder resulting from blocked pores caused by excessive oil production. I recommend that you see a dermatologist to receive proper diagnosis and treatment. Based on the level of your acne, they might suggest topical adjuvants or oral medications.

Indeed, Tretinoin cream can be applied to treat skin diseases such as acne. But a dermatologist should be consulted before starting any treatment. They can give personalized instructions on treating Tretinoin cream and further guide the active ingredients that are safe to use in your morning routine. Be sure to adhere to the instructions provided by your physician for optimal results.

It is crucial if you have a rash on your penis to consult a dermatologist or a doctor who specializes in the urinary tract as soon as possible. It might turn out to be an ingrown hair but you might be prone to a sexually transmitted disease.

I am 20years old I just started going through gental wart and I already start using drug and cream but I notice serious burning or painful side effect on my virginal so what onniment or drug can I used to reduce or eliminate the pain

Female | 20

The burning or pain you might be feeling is from the drugs you are using. To relieve the discomfort, you can use a mild soothing cream such as Vaseline or aloe vera gel which will help to ease the irritation and give some relief. Ensure that the region is kept dry and clean to quicken the healing process.

I am 15 year old female and my lower face is darker than my upper face. It's not pigmentation or pimple patches. It's totally darker than my upper face. It starts from my chubby chicks to jawline

Female | 15

You might have a medical condition named acanthosis nigricans. It can sometimes cause the lower face to be darker than the rest. It's not dangerous but could be a sign of something more serious, like insulin resistance, that is happening inside your body. You can fix this by eating cleaner, being active, and maintaining skin health. Furthermore, consume a lot of water.

I am 22 of age a female, recently I noticed some lumps close to my ass hole

Female | 22

In most cases, these lymph nodes are connected with the infections of the rectal region such as perianal abscess or a hemorrhoid. Symptoms comprise inflammation, aches, painful tingling, and pus if the glandular development becomes infected recently. The most essential actions are hygiene and heat compress usage. Likewise, examining these lumps would help to understand the situation, so if there is no improvement or worsening of this disease, you are advised to hurry to the medical center.
