In case of allergic condition one can apply tacrolimus cream locally along with a sunscreen. You can also try hydroquinone cream at night time. If nothing works then the last resort would be lasers.Specific laser for this would be Q-switched Nd:yag laser .But the results are variable and no doctor would promise you the results.

Do a thyroid profile and prolactin levels and a ultrasound for your uterus and ovaries. Also do a HSG to see the tubal patency. A semen analysis of your husband should be done. if everything is fine, you can try for 6 more months. Be in contact with your husband every 2 to 3 days after your periods stop. IT will increase chances of your pregnancy. Hope I have answered your question. Regards Dr khushboo"

There are certain precautions to be taken while one uses this cream,I hope this has been discussed by your dermatologist. I would advise you to stop the cream now as you have already overused this cream. For pigmentation you can use hydroquinone based creams at night and a sunscreen in the morning.You can also use creams containing kojic acid or vitamin c . You can also go for chemical peels from a dermatologist. The treatment might be long and then you have to maintain the results too with proper creams and precautions.

Splash your face with cold water a couple of times as it is refreshing. avoid using moisturisers and look for recipes of scrubs that you can make yourself at home. Avoid touching your face again and again and check whether u have dandruff or not. Homeopathy has permanent solution for pimples , consult some homeopathic doctor near you."

Once the patches are stable say for more than 6 months ,then you can go for surgery called BLISTER ROOF GRAFTING. This is a very specialized surgery where in a blister is created on the abdomen and this thin skin is grafted over the lips ,after dermabrassion of lip skin. This gives good result .You can see details in my web site www.skinhairclinic.com.(vitiligo section).

You can apply tretinoin cream at night over the spot .You can also use combination cream of glycolic acid and hydroquinone at night.These would gradually bleach the marks to normal skin color ,but take long time to work. If these things don't show good response then you can go for lasers.The best laser would be a Q-switched Nd:yag laser of 1064nm wave length .You might require multiple sessions of the same. If you can let me know where you belong to ,then probably I can suggest you a laser center for treatment. regards, Dr.chawda"

You can take some medicines like clomiphene for the growth of your follicles and track your follicles growth by repeated ultrasound and when your follicles is more than 17 to 18 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles. Be in contact with your husband every 2 to 3 days after your periods stop. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks. Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that. You can try like that for 3 to 6 months. Discuss with your doctor regarding this. Hope I have answered your question. Regards Dr khushboo"

Now a days there are very good tablets available for pimples but should be taken under dermatologists supervision only.They can be either azithromycin or isotretinoin tab . Tab azithromycin (500mg) once daily for 3 days(take this tab 1 hr before food).Hormonal pimples can be treated with oral contraceptive pills .They are very effective and safe.All these needs blood test before taking them. For marks use retino A (0.025%) cream at night only on the spot for 2 hrs then wash off . Donât forget to use a water based sunscreen like UVAVO daily full face so as to protect yourself from direct sunlight which ca increase your dark marks Along with this u need to take 10-12 glasses of water per day & a good sleep. .A chemical peel can also help reduce the marks .Get it done from an expert dermatologist only. regards, Dr.Chawda"

Since then i've had red blotches and dry skin areas around my face where the red areas stay and the dry skin shows when you apply water to it. Some days my face is redder than normal other days it feels really dry and sometimes abit irritant. i drink plenty of water tho as i play many sports so i dont really think its an hydration problem. Last time it got worse after i shaved in them areas where it became a little sore. But yea, at the moment my face is blotchy red and dry, i do still use the aqueous cream as treatment and have been for a month. But its just not budging, im wondering what it is and what i can do to make it just go away many thanks"

"value": "Hello,Faceclin gel has clindamycin phosphate and nicotinamide as active ingredients. Clindamycin phosphate is an antibiotic with activity against Propionibacterium acnes, the acne causing bacteria and is nicotinamide is anti-inflammatory in nature. Supatret has Tretinoin which is a topical retinoid and this regimen is effective for mild moderate acne. If you have more number of inflammatory lesions and pustules, an oral antibiotic like Azithromycin or Doxycycline can also be added. Side effects of Tretinoin include burning sensation, redness and dryness. You can apply a moisturizer to your treatment like Neutrogena oil free moisturizer or Acnemoist cream. If there is lot of irritation or dryness you can switch to Adapalene instead of Tretinoin (Supatret). Supatret helps in acne scars mildly. Best treatment option include lasers and peels for atrophic/depresssed scars and for post acne hyperpigmentation kojic acid or azelaic acid combinations.Hope I have answered your query.
