I have problem of dark underarms and dark knees
Dr. Parul Khot
Cosmetologist
Answered on 23rd May '24
For a very dry and sensitive skin, start a niacinamide based gel to calm the skin .change the face wash to a gentle one, rather than a glow providing one. Post that apply the niacinamide. then use acne moisturizer and then sunscreen for acne prone skin. If this doesn't help you you can consult a dermatologist for skin lightening treatment.

Dark underarms can be due to fungus, sweating and acanthosis nigricans(insulin resistance). which needs through check. Skin Lightening creams, peels and carbon laser are very effective. Treatment of underlying condition need to be seen into. Sweat absorbing powders can be used. And anti fungal creams to treat the fungus.

There are different types of lasers: Nd yag, Alexandrite, diode, IPL, and Ruby.
The dermatologist will do patch testing to see which laser goes with your skin - not all lasers go with all kinds of hair and skin type, and your hair & skin requires a specific type of laser as well.
The way you describe your hair, alexandrite, diode or IPL lasers seem to be a possibility. But a patch testing and personal consultation with the specialist will offer more clarity.

You can also consider electrolysis if laser hair removal doesn't deliver the desired results.

There's no insurance policy for hair transplant surgery unless you get your plan upgraded, but that too you would have to discuss with the insurer themself.
Otherwise clinics provide with loan/EMI options.

I am 34 yrs old female and I have acne and acne marks problem on my face - recently my face has been very dry and acne is coming also I have tight white pores issue which is making my skin look very dull and uneven.
Dr. Archit Aggarwal
Trichologist
Answered on 23rd May '24
As you are 34 years old, there might be some hormonal issues leading to acne. Consult local dermatologist for treatment who might prescribe you some topical antibiotics benzoyl peroxide or daplin or oral drugs depending upon the situation. It is advisable to use moisturizers, particularly water-based that do not uproot the pores because medication usage might result in dryness and little irritation. Your Skin will be much better after the treatment for Acne.
