"from": "gpt",
"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 and welcome to healthcaremagicThe creams that you have been using (skinlite and lomela) are essentially the same composition of a steroid+tretinoin+hydroquinone. They are not meant for regular use. These creams are prescription products and should never be used without a dermatologist's advice. Dermatologist's commonly prescribe them for facial hyperpigmentation/melasma. However, they should never be used as a regular fairness cream 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.I would suggest that you use a broad spectrum sunscreen, throughout the day.At night you could use a glycolic acid cream (Glyco -A) Or Kojic acid cream (Kojic cream) to obtain the desired results of brighter complexion and even tone.You could also opt for a few peeling sessions from a dermatologist e.g Yellow peel (Retinol CT peel) Or Glycolic peel Or lactic peel.regards"

},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "Hello welcome to HCM,Oily skin, acne and post acne pigmentation can be improved by adopting a good skin care regime.1. wash your face morning, afternoon and night with a face wash containing salicylic acid 1-2%. This will help in reducing the oiliness, help prevent as well as heal pimples and also help lighten the marks.2. apply a water based moisturizer immediately after washing, on slightly damp skin. This is important as anti acne skin regimes often dry the skin and may make it sensitive. Well moisturized skin prevents sensitivity and allows rapid skin repair.3. Use sunscreen in the morning and afternoon. Preferably one containing zinc oxide and titanium dioxide that won't block your pores (non-comedogenic). This type of sunscreen is suitable for oily skin. Sunscreen is important as anti acne medications can make your skin sun sensitive, increasing the chances of sun burns.4. Use a adapelene+benzoyl peroxide gel with microsphere or sustained release formulation daily at night after applying your water based moisturizer. Apply a very thin layer only on acne affected areas. Avoid eyelids and corners of mouth. This is the most important part of your daily regime.Follow this regime for a month. If improvement occurs, continue till skin clears completely. If no improvement is seen after a month then you should consider prescription antibiotics and Salicylic+Azelic nanotechnology chemical peels.For more information you can read Skin Care, Acne & Scars at www.dermatologydiaries.comLove your skin,Dr NiketaCosmetic DermatologistMumbai, India"

"value": "Hello and welcome to healthcaremagicFirst and foremost, you should use a sunscreen regularly to protect you skin from further tanning. Apart from that practicing sun protective behavior like carrying an umbrella, avoiding outdoor activity between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM etc go a long way in preventing further tanning.UV A part of the electromagnetic spectrum is mainly responsible for tanning. Therefore, a good sunscreen should have broad spectrum UV A coverage in addition to UV B coverage, in order to be able to prevent tanning and it needs to be applied in sufficient quantity and every 2-3 hourly.A sunscreen with minimum 30 SPF would be adequate. It should mention both UV B and UV A coverage. Therefore it is important to select the right sunscreen for desired effectsIt should be applied in the following quantity:--3ml for face and neck(a little more than 1/2 teaspoon)--3ml for each arm(a little more than 1/2 teaspoon).A sunscreen should be applied every 2-3 hours.A skin lightening cream containing one or more of the skin lightening ingredients e.g kojic acid, glycolic acid, Arbutin, Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, Liquorice etc once or twice daily, can be used to gradually fade away the tan.You could also undergo a few sessions of skin lightening peels (Yellow peels/Retinol CT peel) OR Glycolic acid Peels, from a dermatologist to improve the complexion.regards"

To reduce pigmentation,you may take vitamin C, nicotinic acid and glutathion tablets for long time. Kojic acid containing lotion may be applied at night .

I was also using the cream tenovate plus to treat occurrences of acne on my face. I thought the cream worked so well that I began to mix it with my daily moisturizer and apply it to my face every morning. I have been doing this for at least 1-2 years now. Well, the store that I bought tenovate from stopped selling it so I no longer use tenovate. Not too long after I stopped using the cream my face broke out severely and my skin darkened and it is really itchy. It has been 2 weeks and my skin has not improved. I just recently read online that tenovate is bad for your skin and now I am scared I have damaged my face. What should I use to help restore my beautiful face?"
},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "Hello and welcome to healthcaremagicYes, indeed tenovate should not be used on face, infact using it on face and that too for acne is an absolute NO for me! It contains a potent steroid, clobetasol propionate which can cause steroid related side effects like Acne, photosensitivity, hirsutism, skin thinning, telangiectasis etc.I would suggest that you use a topical broad spectrum sunscreen throughout the day, that which offers both UV B as well as UV A protection, till your skin returns back to normal, which might take a few days.An OTC antihistamine e.g cetrizine 10mg once daily would help you symptomatically with the itch.If I was the treating doctor I would have started you on oral antibiotics for acne e.g either doxycycline or azithromycin, would be good for acne flare.Topically you could use clindamycin phosphate 1% gel twice daily over active acne.Use a gentle cleanser for face wash e.g cetaphil cleansing lotion, twice daily.regards"

To a certain extent, you ca prevent further darkening of skin as a result of sun exposure. You could use a broad spectrum sunscreen every 4 hours. You could also get glycolic acid based chemical peels done by a qualified dermatologist. They help to lighten the acquired tanning and to lighten the skin tone to a certain extent.

Salicylic acid being lipophilic in nature easily dissolves in the lipid rich pores and breaks the comedones, which are the precursor lesions of acne. Salicylic acid also dries up existing pent up oil in the pores and is therefore also useful for oily skin.Along with salicylic acid peeling, you can also use topical antiacne medication like clindamycin phosphate 1% gel, twice daily.If your acne is inflammatory, you may also benefit from the use of oral antibiotic like either doxycycline or azithromycin or minocycline.regards"

I have been using Melacare forte cream on my face at night everyday and brite during the day for the last 3 years as prescribed by my physician . My facial skin has got an excellent glow, it looks fair and beautiful and soft. But since melacare contains steroid stuff I don't want to continue with it anymore. So I want to know whether I straight away stop using applying and start putting normal cosmetic cream on my face or do I have to apply some other medicated cream before I switch to the usual cosmetic cream ?PLEASE HELP!"

"value": "Hi,I can understand your concern and after reading the query it appears that you may suffer from steroid abuse and dependence as you are using the cream from past 3 years.Melacare contains hydroquinone, steroid and tretinoin. The cream is good but shouldn't be used without a dermatologist's prescription. On its prolonged use it can cause thinning skin with red irritated skin or even hair growth.I suggest you to use proper sun protection. You can use Azelaic acid or Kojic acid creams under dermatological guidance only. These can be used for a long period without any side effects. This may take few weeks of the time to resolve your problem so have patience.Take care"

I would advise scar massage, which is the most neglected part of scar care. It is very difficult to imagine what you speak of. A photograph would help. Regarding costs, depends where you are located.

Therefore it is not advisable to post acne black spots, It does'nt cause cancer either.I would suggest thta you see a dermatologist for a proper consultation. Your dermatologist might ask you to use benzoyl peroxide gel twice daily for your acne activity. Along with that your dermatologist might also add oral antibiotics like doxycycline or azithromycin for faster relief of acne.Regarding post acne black spots you need to use a skin lightening cream e.g either kojic acid or hydroquinone based cream once your acne activity is under control.regards"

Usually post peel, redness and crusting is common and usually moisturizer and sunscreen is enough to take care the post procedure sequelae. Sometimes, chemical peels may cause excessive redness/crusting due to deeper penetration of peel, but its difficult to rule out without proper clinical examination or pictures. Anyways, start applying a cream containing desonide (Desowen cream) twice a day gently over red/irritated skin followed by good quality moisturizer like Cetaphil DAM. Always make sure you use your sunscreen before going out in sun and repeat application after every 3 hours and use proper clothing to cover face. Avoid pricking/scratching/peeling of skin. Use gentle cleanser like Cetaphil cleanser for sensitive skin for regular face wash.Take some antihistaminic like Levocet if excessive itching is there.

As such I recommend you contact the nearest hospital that has a neuro surgeon and discuss your options with him.I hope this helped."

Take vitamin C , glutathion and nicotininic acid tablets for long time. Avoid stress and anxiety, take healthy food ,have good sleep.You may be improved..Do not ashamed of black skin... Many big personalities are having black skin.. OkDr.Ilyas Patel MD,DVD"

My lip is the major problem, after having it operated on twice, both doctors did a horrible stitching job (they're not beauticians). My lip was left with a bump on it and is visible when I smile. It looks like I have a cleft lip! I feel disfigured, and am extremely self conscious about it. Sometimes it interferes with eating, and my teeth scrape it. What can I do? Can I go to the emergency room to fix it? Cut off the excess flesh? I could bite it perhaps? These are the insane ideas I've had to live with and contemplate. Could I also be suffering from head trauma? Or accident related trauma? I've been in six car accidents in my life, three on bikes and I am deathly afraid of careless drivers."

Revisional surgery entails a complete disruption of the repair, stitching the lip in 3 layers with resection of any mucosa that might occur in your case and with particular attention to repair of the orbicularis. Please visit a plastic surgeon for more details, there is no need to be depressed.Dr. Adhikari"

"value": "Hi,Thanks for writing to us.Melacare and skinlite are strong pigment reducing creams and should not be used without being under a doctor's follow up.To improve your skin tone, I would advise Use a mild Glycolic acid based face wash like Aha glowUse a sunscreen in morning esp between 10 am to 4 pm. Sunscreen should be applied 30 minutes prior to sun exposure and should be repeated every two to three hourly. Use a sunscreen offering UVA and UVB protection.Apply milder creams with Kojic acid, arbutin vitamin c or Glycolic acid. You may use kojivit cream in morning and glyco a 6 percent cream in night. Do not apply these creams in large quantities and do not rub these creams too much as may cause irritation. These creams are safe in long run. However there use may be discontinued once results are achieved and the effect can be maintained with regular sunscreen use.If possible consult a dermatologist and take few sessions of chemical peels. Take food rich in vitamin c and antioxidants.Hopefully you would have a glowing flawless skin in a month.Take care"

"value": "Hello, Welcome to healthcare magic Your complexion is usually decided at the time you are born. No treatments can make a person fairer than their original color. In your case you had fairer skin when you were younger, so there is scope for improvement. Sun protection is the key to a lighter skin. As much as possible avoid direct sunlight, wear a sunscreen with an spf of at least 15 every day in the morning half an hour before you go out an re apply it every 3-4 hours. You can use a face wash containing Glycolic acid twice a day. Lightening creams like kojic acid and or vitamin c serums will help. You can go for a cosmetology consultation and cosmetic services like chemical peels can be tried. Even mesotherapy with vitamin c and or glutathione will help. Drink plenty of water, eat fruits rich in vitamin A and C. Hope this helped Take care"

"value": "Hi,Yes there are surgery to remove dark circle around the eyeDark eye circles happen as a result of a hollowness forming underneath the lower eyelid. This hollow groove (called the naso-jugal groove) forms as a natural result of fatty tissue loss during the process of aging. Shadows fall into the groove, causing the appearance of under eye dark circles. Bags under the eyes are caused by fatty tissue visibly protruding within the lower eyelid. Once again, a shadow falls into the groove underneath the bags and the person looks tired and olderRenowned eyelid surgeon Dr. Rivkin has created a non-invasive, safe and cost effective method to remedy circles under the eyes without surgery.Blepharoplasty Non-Surgical Removal of Dark Eye Circles.Topical creams and similar products are another alternative treatment. They can be of assistance temporarily for the mildest cases, but are unable to solve the problem otherwise.RegardsDr Sandhya ManorenjNeurologist Hyderabad"
