Is honey good for pimples?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Honey has natural antibacterial properties that can soothe inflammed acne. But natural isn't always safe when it comes to skincare. Do a patch test before trying.

View allI'm dealing with acne and was wondering if taking azithral 500mg would help clear it up. Is this a good idea or should I consider something else?
I don't recommend using Azithral 500mg tablet for acne treatment. Instead, you can try using topical treatments like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. For severe cases, you may consider consulting a dermatologist who can prescribe oral medications like isotretinoin.

I'm 28 and I've been dealing with these malar bags. I really don't want to go under the knife, so I've been trying different massages and even icing them. Is there anything else I can do to help reduce them or should I consider other treatments? I'm just really hoping to avoid surgery if possible.
See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

Why does the skin on the top of my nose itch every day? It's not inside my nose, just the top part. I'm really curious if there's any reason for this. Could it be a scientific explanation or maybe even superstition? Would love to understand what's going on.
if you have any abnormal pigmentation or any swelling consult detmatologist
