Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Small, red pinhead likenrashes which seem to be deeply embedded in skin. The rash cannot be felt by running our hand across it.

I've been struggling with dry and scaly skin on my knuckles, and no matter how much I use moisturizer cream, it just doesn't go away. Unfortunately, there's no good dermatologist where I live. Can you suggest a solution? If there's a cream you recommend, could you please mention the brand name, preferably one that's easy to find even in smaller places?

You may be dealing with a condition like eczema or psoriasis. In this case, I recommend trying a cream containing 1% hydrocortisone, such as Cortizone-10. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for up to 2 weeks. Additionally, you can use a moisturizer like Cetaphil Restoraderm Skin Restoring Body Moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated. Remember to consult a healthcare professional if the symptoms persist or worsen.

Hey, I've got a question about Kromalite skin lightening cream. I'm naturally dark-skinned and was wondering if it can actually help lighten my skin tone. Or is there a better cream out there for skin whitening that you'd recommend? I'm just curious about what might actually work for me.

Kromalite skin lightening cream contains ingredients like kojic acid, vitamin C, and licorice extract, which can help brighten and even out skin tone. _Effectiveness for Dark Skin Tone_ 1. _Gradual brightening_: Kromalite may help gradually brighten your skin tone over time. 2. _Not a drastic whitening agent_: It may not drastically whiten your skin, but rather even out your skin tone. _Alternative Skin Whitening Creams_ 1. _Meladerm_: Contains a blend of natural ingredients like kojic acid, vitamin C, and licorice extract. 2. _SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF Gel_: Contains phloretin, a natural ingredient that helps brighten and even out skin tone. 3. _La Roche-Posay Mela-D Pigment Control_: Contains caffeine and vitamin C to help reduce melanin production and brighten skin tone. _Remember_ 1. _Always patch test_: Before using any new skincare product, patch test it on a small area of your skin. 2. _Consult a dermatologist_: For personalized advice on skin whitening and brightening. 3. _Sun protection_: Use sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily to prevent further darkening.
