Can using Clearz Plus affect my skin negatively? I have some pimple scars on my cheeks, and my skin tends to be oily.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Clearz Plus, containing salicylic acid and tea tree oil, can be beneficial for oily skin and pimple scars, but start with a small patch test to check for any adverse reactions, and use it as directed, as excessive use can lead to dryness, irritation, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).

Potential Irritation: Kojic acid and ascorbic acid may cause mild irritation or redness, especially if your skin is sensitive. Use sparingly and monitor your skin's response.
-
Sun Sensitivity: These ingredients can increase sun sensitivity. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to protect your skin.
-
Oily Skin Consideration: Clearz Plus is generally suitable for oily skin. If you notice increased oiliness or breakouts, adjust usage or consult a dermatologist.
-
Patch Test: Conduct a patch test on a small area before full application to check for adverse reactions.
If irritation persists or new breakouts occur, discontinue use and seek advice from a skincare professional.

View allI'm really concerned about my hair and nails. I've heard that taking vitamin E can help, but my nails are still brittle and my hair seems thin at the ends, even though I trim it regularly. Do you think vitamin E would actually improve these issues, or could there be something else going on?
That mineral vitamin deficiency only Vit E supplementation doesnt help,visit Dermatologist for appropriate management

I'm dealing with a skin issue that started with white patches about two weeks ago. When I visited my doctor, I was advised to use melanocyl ointment. After using it for a week, Ive noticed a new problem: my skin is now developing dark patches instead. I'm really concerned about why this is happening. Is it normal for the skin to react this way to the ointment, or should I be worried about an allergic reaction or side effect?
Stop using Melanocyl ointment immediately and consult your doctor, as the black patches may be a sign of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) or melanin overstimulation, and alternative treatments may be necessary.

I'm dealing with some serious itching between my thighs and I'm pretty sure it's jock itch. It's really uncomfortable and I just want it gone for good. Could you recommend the best antifungal cream for this? Also, how can I make sure it never comes back once I treat it?
This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.
