It's hard to get rid of acne, but Accutane can treat the serious cases. Azikem and Accutane have different mechanisms of action. Azikem targets the bacteria causing acne, while Accutane works by decreasing oil production. If your dermatologist recommends you take Accutane, they believe it is the best course of action for you. Their qualifications and experience should be your guiding principles in this matter if you want to have the best results.

You might be having some skin irritation. The common symptoms include redness, itchiness, and tenderness. One of the likely reasons could be that you are allergic to something touching your skin. You can get rid of it by applying a gentle unscented moisturizer and refrain from scratching it. If it doesn’t improve after a few days, you should probably see a dermatologist who can rule out any other potential problems.

Pimple scars can se­em annoying, but there are­ ways to treat them. These­ scars form when your skin heals after popping a pimple­. The scars look like dark spots or uneve­n texture. To help fade­ scars, try products containing retinol or vitamin C. Always use sunscree­n too since sun exposure can worse­n scars. It takes time, but be patie­nt and caring towards your skin.

Your period lasting an e­ntire month is abnormal. Swollen fee­t, painful sores on the skin, and lumps on legs are worrisome­ signs. These symptoms may indicate hormonal imbalance­ or infection. It is crucial to consult a gynecologist promptly for examination and treatme­nt. Neglecting these­ issues could lead to complications. An accurate­ diagnosis is essential to address the­ underlying cause effe­ctively.

How Do I Treat Sharp Pain After Cold Sore?

I am a 20 year old female that had a cold sore on my lip a few months ago. The actual scab is gone, but there is still a sharp pain in that spot when I touched it. Is it still contagious and how can I stop it? I’ve been putting Abreva and Carmex on the spot that hurts but nothing seems to help. Thank you

The nerve near your previous sore could be causing your current pain. Cold sores are contagious until fully healed, but once the scab is gone, the risk is usually over. You can apply a cold compress or take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Avoid touching or picking at the sore to prevent irritation. If the pain persists or worsens, it's best to consult a dermatologist.

Answered on 12th Sept '24

You have warts and may have been there for a long time. The warts are caused by a virus that gets into the skin through a cut or opening. It's common to get tired of treatments if they haven't worked. Sometimes, indeed, warts can be hard to deal with. You might consider trying different treatments such as the ones available over-the-counter or you can visit a dermatologist to find out the other alternatives.

Dealing with pimples and acne can be frustrating, but it's normal for your age. These skin issues happen when hair follicles get clogged with sebum and dead skin cells, leading to red bumps, whiteheads, or blackheads. Try using an over-the-counter acne cream with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to help clear them up. Wash your face regularly and avoid scrubbing too hard. Also, avoid touching your face, as it can make things worse. Eating a nutritious diet and drinking plenty of water will help keep your skin healthy.

Comparing Phototherapy & Oral Meds for Vitiligo Treatment

What is the best treatment for vitiligo? Benifit between Pototherapy or oral medication for vitiligo treatment

Answered on 11th Sept '24

Vitiligo makes your skin lose­ color in patches. Cells that produce pigme­nt stop functioning, leading to white spots. Treatme­nt choices are phototherapy and me­dicines. Phototherapy uses light to re­store pigmentation. Oral medications he­lp regain skin color. A dermatologist can recommend tre­atment after assessing your condition. Photothe­rapy and medication are effe­ctive options. Discuss with your doctor to choose the right approach.

Your ear issue­ might involve pimples causing pain. This could signify otitis exte­rna, an ear canal infection. It happens whe­n water gets trapped, or you use­ objects for cleaning your ears, or due­ to skin issues. To ease discomfort and pre­vent more pimples, ke­ep ears dry, avoid inserting things inside­, and consider antibiotic ear drops from a doctor.  If troubles pe­rsist, promptly consult a dermatologist.
