"from": "gpt",
"value": "Hi there zandi. I would be vain if i were to suggest you could consult with me if you so desired a 'good' dermatoloigst. The fact of the matter is that most of my ilk are good & competent so you may want to pick one closer to where you stay etc. I hail from Bangalore & have just moved back in after a decade of practicing in the Gulf & dealing largely in lasers, fillers, cosmetics etc al & am in the process of establishing quality clinics in & around Bangalore. As for your particular problem, yes & no. I-pill may be the culprit. It is after all a hormonal derivative & as such may alter hormonal balances in your body & lead to a spurt of acne as you have. Alternatively, it may be an 'allergic' reaction judging by the history you give that it is the '2nd' time you have taken this i-pill & were apparently fine the first time...may be a hypersensitivity reaction. Presently, avoid all further trysts with the infamous i-pill. Apply a benzoyl-peroxide/adapalene combination cream on the 'acneiform' lesions & you may benefit from a short 10 days to 2 week course of twice a day oral doxycycline hydrochloride antibiotic course (assuming you dont have any allergies to the same/medications). Of course all this is best in consultation with your friendly neighbourhood dermatologist :) All the best..cheers. Dr Praveen Rodrigues MD Dermatologist, Cosmetologist & Venereologist, Bangalore, India"

No two scars respond to the same modality of treatment. Please stop using things like betnovate or other steorids on your face for acne..they cause immense problems like thinning of your skin, redness etc & can lead to formation of 'steroid acne' that is stubborn & resistant to treatment. Do send me photographs of your face for a private consult or visit your nearest cosmetologist for best results.

Also your history of acne as it stands is insufficient to arrive at a detailed plan..to begin with, how old are you? Cosmetics used should ideally be 'water-based' & not 'heavily layered on the skin'. Market now has newer bases for benzyl peroxide that cause less irritation ...check with your local dermatologist; alternatively use a cleansing agent that leaves behind a moisturizing 'film' to help you better. Regds & get well soon..cheers Dr Praveen Rodrigues MD Dermatologist, Bangalore, India"

I ve recently been sharing some close face to face kissing with my girlfriend who suffers from acne as well. This morning I noticed a rather large lump about 3cm below my temple, just in front of my ear. I also noticed a small lump on the back of my neck on the left hand side, a very small but noticeable one. I know I ve had this lump on the back of my neck for sometime and it comes and goes so it could be to do with lymph nodes swelling up. However, the lump on the left temple side (just below it) is much much bigger than the one on the back of the neck and it came on over night. Could it be a bug bit? It s red, it s very hard, it feels like you can get underneath it with your fingers and it s quite hot. Any help would be great Doc.

"value": "Hello welcome to health care magic. 1.One effective way to deal with scalp acne is to shampoo more often than you used to with the use of benzoyl peroxide Cleaning the scalp with products containing salicylic acid using cotton ball or wool is also an effective way to treat scalp acne. 2.Another scalp acne cure is by using mild shampoo as well as frequently washing the hair. Ketoconzaole or ciclopirox is also effective for mild cases of acne on the scalp. There are times when oral medications such as antibiotics and topical steroids can also help treat acne on scalp problems As hormones fluctuate, there is an increase of oil being secreted from the sebaceous gland. It allows dirt to accumulate in the pores and results to pimples. Stress. Too much stress can alter as well the normal balance of hormones of an individual. When experiencing a breakout, the best way to deal with it is to apply hot compress. That way, a blind pimple can be able to grow a head and eventually come out. Wash your face once in a while to remove accumulated dust and dirt. Avoid using too much makeup. If you are just going out for a grocery, you need not put on makeup. Dealing with acne, pricking an irritated or inflamed papule would just make it worse. Start a zinc supplement. Zinc is a very effective treatment for acne. Rich food sources of zinc are – nuts and legumes. Cinnamon : Cinnamon has strong anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Pound cinnamon and apply it over the affected area. It will help clear up the face successfully. Even applying a drop of cinnamon oil over the pimples speeds up healing. mail me at [email protected] thanks"

"value": "Hi Madhuri, Welcome to HCM, I have read your query, the surest route to success in treating acne vulgaris follows 3 steps. First, establish the type and severity of acne. Second, select medication appropriate for the patient’s condition and skin type. In general, patients with oily skin benefit from solutions or gels, while those with dry skin do better with creams, lotions, or ointments. Third, educate yourself about the disease, the different types of medications (including birth control pills) and their side effects, and expectations for improvement that are realistic. Realistic expectations should enhance compliance and lead to the successful resolution of a chronic debilitating disease. All of which result from a multifactorial pathophysiologic process in the pilosebaceous unit: sebum production, follicular hyperkeratinization, proliferation and colonization by Propionibacterium acnes, and the release of inflammatory mediators. The resulting lesions include noninflammatory open (blackheads) and closed (whiteheads) comedones, as well as inflammatory papules, pustules, and nodules. A variety of medications are available for the treatment of acne vulgaris. Note that most treatment regimens should be used for at least 6 to 8 weeks to judge their effectiveness before considering alternative treatments or adding other agents. Will recommend to visit your clinician or dermatologist before switching or trying any medications. Thanks"

Although some males are just more hairier then others and the amount of hair you have is not an absolute indicator of testosterone levels.The basic cause is genetics in most of the cases . You can look at the men folk on your maternal and paternal sides of the family to get an idea of what your genetic traits are, as they relate to hair, you inherit these genes predominately from your mothers side. Although if you are very concerned about your testosterone levels you can visit any doctor and get S. testosterone levels tested by a simple blood test.If the levels are abnormal or low ,which is very unlikely , do visit an endocrinologist for the further management. But once your beard/mustache fills in and you have to shave every day, you may wish it was back how it is now! God bless"

Therefore, I will urge you to have faith in your doctor and take the medicines as prescribed. You will get well. With best wishes.

They come and go, leaving marks - and do not seem to wane. I consulted a doctor (general specialist) who prescribed Minoz 50 mg (2 tablets a day) for 5 days + Cetaphil Soap. He also asked me to not use anything on my face - i.e creams / powder for the duration of this course. I had some initial relief that there were no new pimples coming up while I was carrying out the prescribed medication . But after the course - and cessation of the Minoz tablets... the pimples have come back again. What should I do? is this an infection? Should I be continuing my Minoz medication? Should I get this screened by a dermatologist? Please help."

"value": "Hi Amaya,Welcome to HCM.Acne( pimples) is a common problem in people who have oily skin and especially at your age. They often turn in to pustules due to secondary bacterial infection due to pricking or pressing. Benzoyl peroxide is useful in treating acne. But if it does not give any response then preparations containing Retinoids have to be taken. Using antibiotics like Doxycycline will help in treating infected acne. Do not squeeze the acne as it might leave a scar.Based on the details provided you seem to be having Seborrhoeic dermatitis. The reason for the pimples on the anterior chest wall ( cleavage) is dandruff of scalp. Anterior chestwall, nape of neck , interscapular area, forehead and the v area of chest ( cleavage) are the areas where the dandruff flakes tend to fall resulting in an inflammatory reaction there by leading to nodules or pustules and may end up leaving marks.Treating the primary cause ( dandruff in your case) is essential. Using shampoos that contain Ketoconazole ( Nizoral shampoo manufactured by Johnson and Johnson) twice a week should help you. Apply the shampoo thoroughly to the scalp . This would definitely help you to get rid of this problem. Even the marks would disappear slowly. In case if the marks are big and embarassing then using creams that contain allantoin or hydroquinone ( hydroquinone cream should be taken only after consulting a doctor) should help you.Hope you got the solution you were looking for.Wish you a healthy life.Take Care"

Use a salicylic acid face wash (e.g. Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Salicylic Acid Acne Treatment) to wash your face, gently massaging it in for 1-2 minutes before washing off. 2. Clearasil Stayclear Tinted Acne Cream applied twice a day over the pimples. Be careful not to apply too much. There may be slight redness and flaking of skin, but this is normal. Do not apply on non pimply skin. 3. Neutrogena On-The-Spot Acne Treatment Vanishing Cream: This can be applied safely over the entire face (barring around the eyes and mouth) once at night. Apply a think film, do not rub. This will prevent new pimples from coming and must be used daily for 2-3 months. 4. Omega three fatty acid capsules: Take one morning and evening after meals for 2-3 months. 5. An antioxidant containing beta carotene or lycopene taken twice a day daily for 12 weeks. 6. Lastly some general precautions - Do not pick or burst lesions, this causes scarring; do not touch your face unnecessarily; avoid hair oil application; limit sunlight exposure especially between 10 am & 4 pm. 7. A word on diet - though there is no conclusive evidence it is a good idea to cut down on very oily & sweet foods. Hope this helps!"

We went through all of the blood work and the doctor told me I had a negative pregnancy test. We waited a month as my Dr. told me to do, and tried again in December. Now I feel like I have several of the same symptoms as before and got a very faint line on an early pregnancy test. I've taken two tests over a period of three days and the line is still light pink. I plan on making an appointment today to see my doctor, but I probably won't get in for at least another month. Not knowing what that means is driving me crazy. I know that the faint line is a detection of hcg, but could it just be faint traces for some other reason?"

However , it does not warrant you from stopping your activities. In fact , reducing exposure to sunlight is surely a good advice however it is very rare to see such reactions . In place of doxycycline i can recommend you to use another antibiotic like Z pack ( Azithromycin) three days a week pulse dose for a period of 6 to 8 weeks . you can safely go for your vacation and put a heavy suncreen like Neutogena Sunscreen . Thanks and Take Care"

If you do not want to be on oral antibiotics, you can opt for topical treatment. Use a face wash specific for oily skin such as neutrogena oil free, use clingard in the morning and Deriva at night. Do not rub your face and be gentle to your skin. Please meet your dermatologist for follow up. Take Care Regards Dr.Sidhu"
