I used amrutanjan balm for a headache and Vicks for a cold yesterday, and now I've got rashes on my forehead and face. Do you have any quick remedies to get rid of these rashes by the end of the week?

I've been dealing with acne scars and I'm breastfeeding my 5-month-old baby. I'm thinking about using tretinoin tretin 0.05% cream on my face to help with the scars and acne, but I'm really worried if this could affect my baby through breastfeeding. Is it safe for me to use this cream or should I avoid it while I'm nursing? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

While tretinoin (Tretin 0.05%) is effective for acne and scars, it's not recommended for breastfeeding mothers, as it's a topical retinoid that can be absorbed into the bloodstream and potentially pass into breast milk, posing a risk to your 5-month-old baby; instead, consider alternative treatments, such as azelaic acid, salicylic acid, or glycolic acid, and consult your doctor or a dermatologist for personalized advice.

I'm really worried about this condition on my leg. There's something like "KARATMarathi" there, and the blood around it has just turned into a solid red clot under my skin. It looks really concerning and I'm unsure if what I'm doing is right. I've started taking DISPERZYME and CEFCHAMP 325, twice every day, as prescribed. Do you think I'm on the right track to treat this issue, or should I consider something else?

Karat (Marathi word) typically refers to a boil or abscess.

I've been dealing with these white spots for around 10 years, and it's becoming a real concern for me. I'm really curious about what they might be and would love some advice on how to possibly get rid of them. Could you help me understand what these might be and suggest any treatments or remedies?

White spots on the skin can be caused by various conditions such as vitiligo or fungal infections. Treatment options may include topical corticosteroids like Clobetasol propionate cream to help reduce inflammation and repigment the skin. Another option is phototherapy using UV light to stimulate melanin production. It is important to consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and management.
