Answered on 29th July '24
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. See a dermatologist if you're worried about your complexion or have other concerns.

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.

You could be suffering from a condition called urticaria, which can also be identified as hives. Hives can be characterized as red, inflamed lines on the skin that are itchy and burning. Common triggers include anxiety, some foods, medications, or allergies. Try to determine what your hives may be caused by and stay away from those triggers. Using cool compresses, and antihistamines may be beneficial in reducing itching. If the symptoms continue, visit a dermatologist.

Black dots on nose & both side face
Female | 24
Those dark spots are called blackheads. Hair follicles get blocked by oil and dead skin cells. It happens frequently if you have oily skin. Wash face daily with gentle cleanser. Do not try squeezing blackheads. Use non-comedogenic skin products. If blackheads stay, see a dermatologist.

I'm 21 female I have a bump above my right boob it's hot in that area and swollen and it hurts bad to the touch.
Female | 21
Your description makes me think of you having an infection or an abscess over your right breast. The situation may arise when water germs sneak into the skin causing swelling, redness, and pain. The main thing is to keep the area clean where the warm compresses are applied to help you relieve the pain. When the bump does not get better over time or gets worse, the first thing to do is to go to a dermatologist.

I am 21 year old boy suffering from small white bumps in my penis foreskin and it was very difficult to open it.so I want to cure it.
Male | 21
This situation seems consistent with the symptoms of smegma. Smegma, with oil and dead skin cells, builds up in the creases of the skin, such as the foreskin of the penis. This leads to dermal white dots that are hard to move back and forth under the skin. Cleaning the area daily with chat water to take care of the white bumps. You should avoid rough soap or excessive force when scrubbing the area. If you still can't find a solution, you should go to a dermatologist.

How do I make anal warts go away on their own at home?
Female | 17
Anal warts are an issue that is caused by a virus, and they may be gone without any treatment, but it may last for a long time. The lumps are either pink or red and are located around the area. Make sure the place around is dry and clean avoiding the corners of the skin with excessive moisture to be infected. Prevent yourself from squeezing, or rubbing them. Wearing breathable cotton underwear and staying away from tight clothes would prove helpful. Pain or increased tenderness indicates the priority to see a dematologist if necessary.

Female | 33
You may have a condition called eczema. Eczema can cause red, itchy patches with small water-filled blisters, especially on the hands. Switching to a new living environment can sometimes lead to skin reactions. Use a mild moisturizer, avoid harsh soaps, and wear gloves for hand protection. If the rash does not improve, it is important to consult a dermatologist for further assistance.

Ovi F tablet is prescribed by doctors for period pain or other gynecological problems. Pain or inflammation medicine will assist in the reduction of this. Normally, a tablet should be taken once a day, and you should take the prescribed dose your gynecologist told you. It is most useful when it is taken with meals and adherence to the doctor's directions is vital.

Female | 18
Seems like you have been fighting acne for this period already and it hasn’t been easy. What brings about them are blocked pores plus germs Isotretinoin alternatively known as Accutane is a strong drug usually saved for serious cases of acne. It can be a permanent solution for certain individuals. The best thing is your kind of acne is not severe therefore before you think about this drug there are other forms of treatment that you need to discuss with your dermatologist.

Male | 18
No matter whether it's HSV-1 or HSV-2 can cause ulcers or blisters around your mouth or genitals as is the case with other sexually transmitted diseases. In these areas, you may experience burning, itching, or discomfort. Said viruses are easily transmitted through physical contact like kissing or intercourse. If it's herpes, get help from a dermatologist because they will diagnose and treat you.

The itching of these spots can be brought about by many things, like dry skin, skin diseases like eczema or a fungal infection. To soothe the itching, use moisturizers, take lukewarm baths, and put on loose, breathable clothes.

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.
