"value": "Hello,Welcome to healthcare magic,Tenovate G is a very potent topical steroid and should never be applied on the face for whitening purpose. It is not an over the counter preparation. It should be prescribed by a dermatologist who knows which condition to start it for and when to stop.Long term use can cause steroid induced Rosacea, Acne, Thinning of skin, Redness and increased sensitivity to sunlight. Brite day cream contains hydroquinone. It does not contain steroid, but again should be applied only for pigmentary disorders under supervision of dermatologist.Use a sunscreen with spf 30 or more every 2-3 hrs during the day even if you are indoors. Avoid sun exposure as much as possible. Apply non steroidal lightening cream containing kojic acid at night like kojivit gel or Cosglo gel or Kojiglo gel.Hope this helped,Take care."

May i have any other alternative for that? and can you please suggest me some other cream which gives me permanent solution?"
},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "Hi,There are two important factors involved in the dark skin :the one is Genetical and the other due to sunlight. The darkness is due to the activity of melanocytes in the skin. These melanocytes are the cells which regularly produces color/pigment known as melanin in the skin. These are superficially present in the upper skin known as epidermis. This is a tendency in us to get higher activity of these melanocytes at the facial area according to our genetic make up. It is seen on higher side in people of Asiatic origin than in white population. I prefer to use a cream containing Kojic acid with arbutin and mulberry extract in it.I suggest you to meet a dermatologist and go for best treatment under his/her guidance.Take care.Wish you glowing skin,With regards,Dr Sanjay Kumar KanodiaMD- Dermatology"

"from": "gpt",
"value": "Hello,Thank you for posting on HCM.Generally, in my patients of sun tanning I would advise then to get series of microdermabrasion followed by chemical peeling. Microdermabrasion is a procedure that removes the superficial layers of skin and it is done with a help of machine. Then after a week or same day itself I would carry out another procedure called chemical peeling. Chemical peeling is again a similar procedure where superficial layers of skin is removed but here the effect is more profound and it stimulates new skin generation in much better way thus giving you more youthful and radiant skin.Several options are available in chemical peels like glycolic acid, salicylic acid, TCA but my personal favorite is retinol peel or also known as Yellow peel.The rationale of combining these procedure is to get better and long lasting effects.I am sure 6-8 sessions will bring out a pretty gratifying results.At home the results can be maintained with antioxidant tablets like Antoxid HC once daily in morning (It can be safely taken for months together) and night application of cream containing mixture of glycolic acid , arbutin and Kojic acid. 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"

I also have stretch marks on my chest how can I get rid of them"
},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "Hello,Thank you for writing on HCM.The darkening of skin around vagina and armpits is totally physiological due to pregnancy as there are major hormonal fluctuations. Thus there is nothing to worry about the darkening.Stretch marks also known as striae are often the result of the rapid stretching of the skin associated with rapid growth or rapid weight changes. Stretch marks is also be influenced by hormonal changes and in your case is due to pregnancy.Stretch marks are notorious to treat and results of the treatment is highly variable.For now I would advise minimal treatment in form of application of vitamin E rich oil twice a day.Later on after pregnancy you can go for extensive treatment like tretinoin 0.1% gel (NEXRET 0.1%)at bedtime and glycolic acid 12% (GLYCO-A ) cream in evening.Also, cosmetic procedures like Yellow peel/Chemical peeling, microdermabrasion, laser therapy, Mesotherapy can be tried for augmented results.Hope this will take care of your query.Thank youDr Hardik Pitroda"

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"

It is a prescription product. Dermatologist's commonly prescribe them for facial hyperpigmentation/ melasma.It is not meant for regular use and should never be used without a dermatologist's advice and in any case not for more than 2-3 months since the steroid content of this cream can cause various side effects like acne, photosensitivity, skin thinning and telangiectasia and facial hair growth (hirsutism) which is specially troublesome in females.You should definitely stop using it any further.Rather I would suggest you to use a broad spectrum sunscreen, throughout the day to protect from sun since the skin would be sensitive and sun exposure would make it red.The skin would take some time to recover. Till the time your skin recovers from years of steroid abuse you should just use bland moisturising cream for night time application and a broad spectrum sunscreen during the day.Regards"

Salicylic acid in 2% is available as foam or gel based cleanser and is ideal for oily and acne prone skin. Use it twice daily.Besides oral retinoids e.g Low dose Isotretinoin in a dose of 5 mg are also sebostatic and can be considered in your case.Topically, you can use a retinoid gel e.g Adapalene or Azaleic acid gel. They are comedolytic and therefore would benefit acne and post acne pigmentation.Topical clindamycin gel or benzoyl peroxide gel are also specifically meant for acne.These are all prescription medications, I would suggest that you seek an appointment with a dermatologist before trying these.Regards"

If you are allergic, it could cause severe reaction like redness and swelling. The skin around the eyes is very delicate and the colour could seep into the skin and cause pigmentation when used for prolonged time.You could apply a small amount of dye behind your ear and observe for 2 days for any reaction. If you get any itching or redness, you should avoid applying the colour as it suggests an allergy.If thin eyebrows alone is your concern ( and not the colour), you could try 0.03% Bimatoprost ophthalmic solution applied twice a day to thicken them. This should be used only under the supervision of a dermatologist as this too is associated with side effects rarely.Hope this helps you.Take care."

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. For dark lips use a good quality moisturizing lip balm with added sunscreen agents (SUNKROMA LIP BALM). Drink plenty of water and take lots of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet.Hope this will take care of your query.If you wish to contact me in future for any query kindly use the following link: you best of health.Thank youDr Hardik PitrodaM.D Dermatology"

"value": "Hello,Welcome to healthcare magic.I understand from your query that you are concerned about the long term side effects of depiwhite cream.Depiwhite is a cream used to lighten hyperpigmentation and not to improve the general complexion.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. Depiwhite contains hydroquione which is a potent bleaching agent. Though its association with cancer is controversial, it is well known to cause side effects like \" rebound pigmentation\" and \" ochronosis\". Rebound pigmentation, as is self explanatory is recurrence of pigmentation after prolonged use. To prevent this, you need to maintain its effect and prevent darkening using a sunscreen and other agents like Kojic acid and vitamin C. Ochronosis is a less common side effects and occurs due to deposition of a brownish black pigment in the skin after prolonged use of hydroquinone. This is very difficult to get rid off once it develops.Hence I suggest 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.You may consult a dermatologist practicing cosmetology for few sittings of chemical peels for faster improvement.Hope this helps you.Take care."

"value": "Hi Alina ,Acne is a common problem experienced by teenagers...although it does leave behind scars....most of these are treatable. Stress can increase acne and since you have polycystic ovarian disease there are two factors that are leading to your breakouts...First of all relax cause treatment is not out of reach and isotretinoin with azithromycin is a good combination. isotretinoin initially causes increase in acne so it is combined with azithromycin...it takes about a month to show results and believe me it does work wonders. Don't loose heart, stop binge eating(fried food, ice cream, butter, chocolates), relax, exercise and most of all do not fiddle or touch the acne as that can leave deeper scars. Get treated for polycystic ovarian syndrome.(gynaecologist)"

"from": "gpt",
"value": "Hello,Welcome to healthcare magic.Skin types vary from person to person and in some individuals, it tends to be very oily. This occurs due to excessive oil secretion by the oil glands on the face.One of the causes for this is excessive washing of the face. When you wash your face too many times, it strips the natural oil from the face and paradoxically increases the activity of the oil glands to compensate for the loss of natural oils.Wash your face with a cleanser containing 2% salicylic acid twice a day.Do not use thick creams. Avoid oiling your hair.Avoid fried foods and foods with high glycemic index.Hope this helps you.Take care."

"value": "Hi,Basic color of the skin is due to genetic factors. The increase in color may be due to different factors like sun exposure, poor hygiene,internal diseases,nutritional deficiencies and poor nutrition. Complete body check up should be done to confirm that you do not have any disease or nutritional deficiency. Skinlite cream should be avoided as it contains harmful chemical..hydroquinone. To improve color of the face you avoid sun exposure, it causes tanning effect which ultimately darkens the skin. You apply sun screen gel like sun mask aquagel. You may apply kojic acid,vitamin C and arbutin containing cream on the face at night. And cleanse the face with glycolic acid and kojic acid containing face wash. You may take glutathion,viramin C and nicotininic acid tab orally for long time. You might feel better after few months.I hope you got my answer.ThanksDr. Ilyas Patel MD"

"value": "Hello and welcome to healthcaremagicI would think that the peel was stronger this time as compared to last time OR it was kept for a longer time than before, therefore it may have acted more as compared to last time, thus leading on to irritation with resulting post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.Cosmopeel contains Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and is considered to be one of the stronger peels. The end point of cosmo peel is frosting and mild erythema, when the peel should be neutralized, immediately. However some times the peel can act more aggressively either because higher concentration is used or it is left for a little longer than the end point, thus causing more frosting and deeper erythema and later post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.I would suggest that you use a moderately potent topical steroid cream, twice daily over the affected area(flutivate cream) for a few days. This would facilitate the superficial dark, dead skin peel off and would also help in resolving post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.Sun protection with a broad spectrum sunscreen is advisable to prevent sun induced darkening.Regards"

Apart from mild redness after the sitting which usually resolves in 1-2 hours, 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 decrease and thereby greatly reduced. It is the FDA approved for hair reduction and gives long lasting results.Creams containing ingredients like efflornithine hydrochloride work by inhibiting the hair metabolism thereby reducing the rate of hair growth, but they won't permanently get rid of unwanted hair.

"value": "Hello Welcome to HCM, thanks for posting your question. I read your question and understood it. See, to be frank, copper T is a foreign body that prevents fertilization. Hence, I would like to tell you that, definitely a foreign body will alter physiology and also the uterus especially when you have used for long time. But there are no supporting papers published that says, it will hamper fertilization. So I suggest you not to worry and keep trying. That should be fine. For about 9 to 12 months you should be able to conceive. If not then you need further evaluation. So, don't put a lot of stress on yourself. Be happy, be confident, positive and see how things go on. In case you need any help with this, you can contact me back. Take care."

"value": "Hello,Thank you for posting on HCM.Dark circles under eyes or under eye pigmentation is a challenging condition to treat.Its seen commonly in people having stressful life and irregular sleep and diet. Its also seen among people having atopic dermatitis and asthma. Sometimes its genetic due to deep sunken eye sockets in skull.Most of the OTC products are not very useful.I would advise you to apply tacrolimus 0.03% ointment at night and AVARTA eye cream twice a day. Take oral Vit C regularly.Additionally, a series of chemical peels like arginine, lactic acid etc from a certified dermatologist can help alot.For darkness over face, again chemical peels will be of great help.Also, apply a cream containing kojic acid, arbutin, tetrahydrocurcumin on regular basis for blemish free radiant skin.Try to de-stress your life and maintain a healthy schedule.Hope you will be fine Take careDr Hardik Pitroda"

Either of the condition can occur independently.I would recommend you take short course of oral antifungal drug like fluconazole as advised by your dermatologist.Apply ketoconazole cream twice a day over the white patches regularly.Use shampoo containing ketoconazole and selenium sulfite for rinsing daily.Maintain hygiene.Hope you will get fine soonThank youDr Hardik Pitroda"

Now i visibly seeing acnes and my face gets dark. I m scared to continue that cream after reading out the side effects of it. Hydroquinone was found to cause cancer in rats and mice, which is why the European Union banned it from cosmetics as far back as 2001 - and it is also known to be irritant in the concentrations needed to lighten skin, particularly when combined with Tretoin. Tretoin makes the skin more sensitive to UVA and UVB rays, and therefore users are normally advised to avoid sunlight. please suggest me a good skin care cream which will stop whiteheads or blackheads and keep the skin healthy glowing.. please..."

"value": "Hello and welcome to healthcaremagicMelacare is a triple drug combination of Mometasone+Tretinoin+Hydroquinone. It is a prescription product used for Melasma/Facial Hyperpigmentation.It should not be used as a regular fairness cream and in any case not for more than 2-3 months on face since the steroid content of this cream can cause steroid related adverse effects like acne, photosensitivity, skin thinning and atrophy, hirsutism in females etc.Hydroquinone is banned in some countries because excessive and prolonged use of hydroquinone can cause a condition known as exogenous ochronosis, which is permanent. However, using it for 2-3 months at 2% or 5% concentration, in a combination like melacare is safe and dermatologists commonly prescribe it for hyperpigmentary skin conditions.Tretinoin is an antiageing molecule and it protects against the atrophogenic side effects of mometasone present in melacare cream. Though it can make the skin more sensitive to UV rays, therefore making it necessary to use a sunscreen along with it.Therefore melacare should always be used if your dermatologist prescribes you, not otherwise.Rather than using melacare cream you could use a cream containing other skin lightening agents like kojic acid, glycolic acid, arbutin etc. They are safe even when used over extended periods of time.Remember to wear a broad spectrum sunscreen, throughout the day.Regards"

I can, with 100% certainty tell that there's absolutely no chance of pregnancy if that was the case as you described. Because.. 1. Dry humping with inner wear on. 2. Semen on leg, near vagina and not inside of vagina. And most importantly, 3. Periods expected next day can never fertilize ovum. According to physiology, ovulation occurs around 14 days before cycles. So you can be tension free and chill out. And yes, the thing that she didn't get her cycles should not worry you. Sometimes there's delay of one week here and there. Hope this helps you and you can always get back to me in case of any doubts."
