"value": "Hello, Thank you for posting on HCM.Complexion of any person is has two two components; constitutive, one which is predetermined by genetics and racial factors and usually cannot be changed with any treatment. The other component is due to external agents like environmental exposure, sunlight, use of any cosmetics etc and is amenable to treatment.You can get a series of chemical peels, which actually remove the upper dead layers of skin and stimulate regeneration of collagen and thus newer layers of skin. Many options are available in chemical peels depending on the requirement and skin type. (Glycolic peel, retinol peel, cocktail peel etc)Also, chemical peeling can be preceded by a simple procedure called microderamabrasion or commonly known as skin polishing to augment the results.Also, at home you can try using cream containing kojic acid, tetrahydrocurcumin, arbutin etc for several months (Melaglow cream) for additional benefit and maintenance.Always use broad spectrum sunscreen before going out in sun.Use a plain moisturiser like cetaphil DAM on daily basis for healthy and hydrated skin.Take plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in your daily diet.Hope this will take care of your issue.Thank youDr Hardik Pitroda"

"value": "Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagicOily face is due to overactive sebaceous glands.While cleansing is an important step in those who have oily face, it should be gentle and not harsh; it should not over dry skin because that will in turn cause sebaceous glands to produce more oil and therefore rebound oiliness, shortly after washing.I usually ask my patients to use either a salicylic acid based cleanser Or take a few sessions of salicylic acid peel. Salicylic acid inhibits oil production and deep cleanses pores.Another alternative is to start patients on a low dose of Oral Retinoids e.g Isotretinoin. Retinoids are sebostatic; reduce the size of sebacous glands and in turn reduces sebum production.I would suggest that you visit a dermatologist in your region for the needful.Regards"

It is keratolytic and is also commonly used for acne.Alternatively you may use glycolic acid based cream, twice daily. Glycolic acid is an exfoliant and therefore would be beneficial in this conditionOral Vitamin A is also an option if they involve extensive areas. Vitamin A in megadoses (25000 IU to 50000 IU daily) normalizes epidermal keratinization and therefore helps in this condition.I will suggest you to visit a dermatologist.

Potent steroids such as present in this cream should not be used on face.Some of the side effects that you are already experiencing are associated with long term use of potent topical steroids and include sun sensitivity, acne, skin thinning and atrophy, facial hair growth etc.Your skin would take some time to get back to normal (may be 2-3 months).It would be dry, itchy and sensitive. I will suggest you to use a gentle moisturizer, twice or thrice daily to calm down your sensitive skin.Use a gentle cleanser e.g cetaphil cleansing lotion rather than a soap or a face wash.Since the skin would be sensitive to sun; a broad spectrum sunscreen throughout the day, is also advisable.My general advice to you would be to always consult a dermatologist before using a cream and use it for the recommended durationRegards"

This helps If you are using basal body temperature as an indication of ovulation and use it for the purpose of contraception, then I will suggest you to opt for a suitable and more reliable contraceptive method.

Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagicHair removing creams can be irritant to the sensitive skin of the genitals.The general recommendation for using a hair removal cream is to keep them for just 4-5 minutes before rinsing them off. The contact time never to be exceeded beyond 10 minutes.The ingredients in hair removing creams dissolve hair keratin, thereby weakens it and causes it to break off.Since epidermis is also rich in keratin therefore leaving it in contact with sensitive genital skin for too long can cause skin damage and irritation.Since you rinsed it off with water in about 4-5 minutes, therefore, it is unlikely that it would have caused any such harmful reaction during this short contact period.In my patients who present with irritant reactions to hair removing product, I usually ask them to use you a moderately potent topical steroid e.g fluticasone propionate 0.05%cream, twice daily.Regards"

I've been using sun bloc because i want to be fully protected from the sun and its damaging effect. Can this 50+ sun block cause premature wrinkling?"
},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagicContrary to what you believe, a broad spectrum sunscreen is rather protective against sun induced damage (photoageing) and delays the onset of fine lines and wrinkles.Photoageing is characterized by gradually diminishing collagen and elastin from the dermis due to the effect of the UV A induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) which damage dermal collagen and elastin.UV A part of the electromagnetic spectrum is mainly responsible for photoageing.A broad spectrum sunscreen (spf 30 and more) filters both UV B as well as UV A part of the electromagnetic spectrum and is therefore protective. Therefore, you may continue with the sunscreen for its protective effects against photoageing.To be effective a sunscreen should be applied every 2-3 hours and in adequate amounts on the sun-exposed skin, specially when moving outdoors. A sunscreen should be applied 15-20 mins before stepping out in the sun to be fully effective.Regards"

More importantly the fact is no topical medications are going to help in removing scars. Only tretinoin or glycolic acid based creams can help to some extent but the results are very subtle and unpredictable and works for very mild scars only.Therefore, I would suggest you to go for laser therapy (Fractional Co2 laser, Non-ablative RF etc) as it has the best results of all other treatment modalities. Moreover, if additionally treated with dermaroller or 100%TCA peel (CROSS technique), pretty appreciable results can be achieved.

"value": "Hello,Welcome to healthcare magic.Your skin tone is determined at the time of your birth itself and it is decided by the concentration of melanocytes and circulation. Therefore any treatment or procedures can never make you fairer than what you were at the time of birth. But most of the people will acquire more pigmentation as age increases, we call it facultative pigmentation. Lot of factors determine it, most important being sunlight, others include dust, pollution, smoking, less hydration, intrinsic ageing and free radical damage, stress etc.Treatments should be to bring your pigmented skin back to your normal skin tone and make the skin tone even all over the face. Lasers like Nd-yag laser target the melanin ( color pigment ) in the skin and remove them. It is useful in conditions where excess melanin has got deposited in the skin like in conditions like melasma, nevus of ota( a type of mole), etc.In my opinion, it is not recommended for making skin \" fair\". However, it depends on the doctor's experience and expertise.If I were to be your treating dermatologist, I would recommend you to use a face wash twice a day ideally a one containing glycolic acid as it helps in exfoliation and to even out the skin tone.The most important product will be a sunscreen. Half an hour before going out apply a sunscreen and reapply it every three to four hours. You can use a cream containing Kojic acid, liquorice, arbutin and tetrahydrocoumarin ate bedtime as a lightening agent.You can get chemical peels done to remove the acquired tan.Eat healthy food rich in fruits and vegetables.Hope this clears your doubts.Take care."

And once that is started you can meet a dermatologist or plastic surgeon for some skin lightening creams for the dark areas. But without treatment of your PCOS the darkening will come backAll the bestDr.Surindher"

"value": "Hello,Welcome to healthcare magic.Your skin tone is determined at the time of your birth itself and it is decided by the concentration of melanocytes and blood circulation. Therefore any treatment or procedures can never make you fairer than what you were at the time of birth. But most of the people will acquire more pigmentation as age increases, we call it facultative pigmentation. Lot of factors determine it, most important being sunlight, others include dust, pollution, smoking, less hydration, intrinsic ageing and free radical damage, stress etc.Treatments should be to bring your pigmented skin back to your normal skin tone and make the skin tone even all over the face. I would recommend you to use a face wash twice a day ideally a one containing glycolic acid as it helps in exfoliation and to even out the skin tone.The most important product will be a sunscreen. Half an hour before going out apply a sunscreen ( eg: Neutrogena Ultrasheer Dry touch sunblock) and reapply it every three to four hours. At night you may apply a lightening cream containing kojic acid, liquorice extract, tetrahydrocoumarin and arbutin over the face before going to sleep.You may consult a dermatologist practicing cosmetology for few sittings of chemical peels for faster improvement.Take care."

Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic.Active acne particularly if severe can lead on to scaring and pigmentation.Before you can do anything about the scaring you must first take treatment to control acne activity.In my patients of acne I normally put them on one of the Oral antibiotics if they have moderately to severe grade of acne. Various options that I choose from are either Doxycycline or Minocycline Or Azithromycin.Topically I ask my patients to use benzoyl peroxide gel twice daily.Oral retinoids are an option too if acne is severe and not responding as desired to the traditional antiacne medications.These are all prescription products and therefore you must visit a dermatologist for a prescription of these. Your dermatologist would be able to assess the severity of your acne and advice accordingly.Once acne is under control, you can then go for treatment of acne scars. Various methods that can improve the appearance of acne scars are Dermabrasion, Fractional CO 2 Laser, Microneedling, Chemical peeling etc.I would suggest that you seek an appointment with a dermatologist in your region for proper treatment of acne and later for acne scars.Regards"

"from": "gpt",
"value": "Hello. Thanks for contacting us on healthcaremagicLaser hair reduction (LHR) is a very safe and reliable way for hair reduction. Apart from mild redness after the sitting which usually resolves in 1-2 hours, and by ice application, there are really no side effects at all if done by a well trained/experienced expert.Normally 6-8 sittings will give you a good hair reduction. The hair will become finer, the density will be greatly reduced.It is the FDA approved for hair reduction and gives long lasting results.Since you are planning to get LHR therefore, bleaching is not advisable. That is because melanin is the target chromophore for Laser used in hair removal and hence if you bleach the hair melanin which you would have already bleached out would not be there in the hair to absorb laser energy and hence hair would not be effectively removed. Threading, waxing etc is also not advisable while you are taking Laser hair reduction.Shaving is the only permissible method of hair removal while on laser.Regards"

UV A part of the electromagnetic spectrum is mainly responsible for tanning.Asian skin tans fairly easily because it contains a lot of melanin.Candid-B lotion contains antifungals as the active ingredients. It would be irrational to use it on face for fairness. I would say you should not use it on face. It also contains a steroid as one of its ingredients, which may do more harm than good.Rather, I would suggest you to use a broad spectrum sunscreen, that which offers both UVB as well as UV A protection throughout the day. A broad spectrum sunscreen should have a minimum spf of 30 + or more.If you were one of my patients I would have suggested you a skin lightening cream e.g containing one or more of the following ingredients like kojic acid, glycolic acid, arbutin etc. There are various creams that contain these active ingredients and are available on prescription.Therefore, I would suggest that you seek an appointment with a dermatologist in your region.

A disadvantage is that the amount of volume that remains after a year varies from person to person.hope you got your answer,,,thanksDR IHSAN"

This is a simple, harmless lightening agent which can be used for as long the blackish pigmentation is there. Also ,try not to touch the area too much Use proper sunscreen (spf>26) before going out in the sun so that the lesion doesn't darken any further Take a diet rich in vitamin C and antioxidants like Citrus fruits and lots of salads If after all the above measures, the pigmentation tend to persist, then i would advise that you should see a dermatologist as there are various other measures for the treatment of pigmented skin like the use of chemical peels, dermabrasion etc which a dermatologist can decide according to the type of scars..

In morning you can apply a good quality sunscreen with additional skin lightening ingredients (NILTAN SPF).Use a good quality facewash like Fash facewash gel.Take plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet and indulge into regular exercise for healthy skin and body.Hope this was useful.Let me know if I can be of any more assistance.Thank you and take care,Dr Hardik PitrodaM.D Dermatology"

Stress,anxiety,sleeplessness,oily skin, oily food,dandruff,drugs like steroid etc.. might cause acne. Proper care may be taken to improve the facial skin. Oilyness may be reduced by good face wash like acmed. Your doctor gave doxycycline..But, i prefer drugs like azithromycine or minocycline to be taken in proper dose for long time. Antibiotic gel like clindamycine gel may be applied on the lesions at night. You take treatment under observation of the dermatologist.I hope you got my answer.Thanks.Dr. Ilyas Patel MD"

Let me start on a positive note , if you have had one pregnancy then you will have a second for sure. 100% sure.You have proved your capability !!!Kindly see if the following checklist of investigations is doneHusband- Semen analysis at least 2- done 4 weeks apart preferably in an infertility center ( examination done by andrologist), Blood sugarsWife - Blood Sugars, Thyroid profile Ultrasound scans to evaluate Uterus , Ovaries & adnexa Confirm tubal patency- most important- Tube is the connection between uterus & ovaries( the bridge where sperm meets the egg & forms a baby) this is size of hair follicle & cannot be seen on scans. Being such a small opening tube can get blocked easily, So check with HSG( Xray with dye), or SSG ( Scan with dye) or LaparoscopyIf all this done & found normal , nothing can stop a pregnancy with God's willWith that history of tubal pregnancy, I would suggest tubal testing before anything ,I bet there is some problem in the tube. If unfortunately both tubes have problem IVF is the only option. Even if both tubes are open & you don't get pregnant after 3-4 months, think of IVF , as if tube is possibly damaged leading to ectopic pregnancy. Tube may be physically open , but not functionally- the ciliary process inside tube needed to push egg , sperm & embryo may be damaged !! Hope I have cleared your queryAll the bestDr.Balakrishnan"

I have hair on my upper lip and i've been shaving it with just a razor blade without any creams. it grows back not so thick but it turns out that my upper lip darkens a little and i want those hair to be gone for good. could waxing be a good process to do?"

"value": "Hi,Thanks for writing to us.If the hair growth is fine, you may go with threading, waxing or bleaching. The wax that is used for face is different, so always check whether your salon proffessional is using correct wax. However if the hair growth is thick, go with laser hair reduction. Shaving is not advised as friction due to shaving and also sometimes due to threading may leave pigmentation.Hope this helped."

"from": "gpt",
"value": "Hi You have many pigmented scars over the legs. Topical medications can definitely be of help to you in reducing the pigmentation to some extent, although only after proper treatment, we can know the results Since these are dark scars, I would advice that you should use a lightening agent like kojic acid and vitamin c combination over the scars.This is a simple, harmless lightening agent which can be used for as long the blackish pigmentation is there.. Also ,try not to touch the area too much Use proper sunscreen (spf>26) before going out in the sun so that the lesion doesn't darken any further Take a diet rich in vitamin C and antioxidants like Citrus fruits and lots of salads If after all the above measures, the scars tend to persist, then I would advise that you should see a dermatologist as there are various other measures for the treatment of pigmented scars like the use of chemical peels, dermabrasion etc which a dermatologist can decide according to the type of scars.Hope it helps Wishing you speedy recovery Dr Geetika Paul"

"value": "hi This cream contains hydroquinone + Tretinoin + steroid.It is a triple combination commonly used by dermatologists for treating hyperpigmentation,and is a very effective medicine but one has to use this cream with caution.It has to be applied only at night.Moreover, it should not be rubbed over the skin and very small amount has to be applied.At a stretch, this cream is not to be used for more than 2-3 months.Long term use of these agents on the face can lead to various problems like skin thinning,photosensitivity, hair growth, redness, pigmentation etc.So firstly, I would advise you to use this cream with extreme caution and that too under the guidance of a dermatologist . Along with it, you should continuously use a sunscreen( spf>26) over your face before going out in the sun.Hope it helps Dr Geetika Paul"

"value": "hi You seem to have developed acne . Before coming to the exact treatment, I would like you to follow certain precautions: 1. Avoid using any oily creams or lotions over face as much as possible. You can however use oil free moisturizers. 2. Wash your face frequently inorder to keep it dry .3. Drink plenty of water .4. Try to avoid eating dry fruits. 5.Avoid touching or squeezing of pimples. 6. Avoid Hair oil .7. Always use a sunscreen (SPF> 26) when going out in the sun. Now as far as your condition is concerned, I would advise you might need to apply some antiacne medications like Clindamycin gel over the affected area twice a day. You might need a systemic agent also to control acne ,so if the above medicines do not help you much, then see a dermatologist for the same.Hope it helps Dr Geetika Paul MD ( Dermatology)"

Other than that applying sunscreen daily half an hour before you are going out and reapplication in 3-4 hours if you are continuously in sun for long hours is quite helpful. Most importantly have a good diet with fruits and vitamins.In between you can use good concealers which can mask the acute effect of pigmentation.All the best."
