I used a zalim lotion about 45 minutes ago, and now my skin is burning. Is this normal? What should I do to relieve the burning?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
If you are experiencing burning sensation on your skin after using a lotion, it is possible that you may be having an allergic reaction or irritation to one of the ingredients in the lotion. I recommend washing the affected area with mild soap and water to remove the lotion. You can apply a soothing cream like calamine lotion or aloe vera gel to help with the burning sensation. If the burning sensation persists or worsens, you can take an over-the-counter antihistamine like cetirizine 10mg once daily for relief.

View allI'm a 25-year-old guy, and I've noticed that around 10 or 15 of my underarm hairs on one side have turned white all of a sudden. Is this something I should be worried about? It seems really strange to me. Why did only a few hairs change color, and why on just one side? Could there be an underlying reason for this?

I'm really concerned about my hair situation lately. Over the past two months, I've been losing more hair than usual, and my scalp has started to show through. Also, I've noticed a couple of black spots on my scalp. I'm really hoping you can offer some advice on how I can deal with these spots and also prevent any further hair loss. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
You can try using minoxidil solution 5% applied to the scalp twice daily. Additionally, taking biotin supplements 10,000 mcg daily can help promote hair growth. For the black spots on your scalp, you can use ketoconazole shampoo twice a week to help with any fungal infections that may be causing the spots. If the black spots persist, it is important to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm noticing that the skin on my face is unevenly toned. The area from my forehead to my nose is fair, but everything below my nose is darker. What could be causing this, and is there a treatment that can help even out my skin tone?
This condition is known as hyperpigmentation, where certain areas of the skin produce more melanin, leading to darker patches. To treat this, you can use a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. Apply a thin layer on the dark areas once daily, preferably at night. Additionally, using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every day can help prevent further darkening of the skin.
