Question 1

I've got these dark spots on my knuckles, joints, and fingers, both on my hands and legs, even on the palm area. I'm wondering what could be causing this and how I might be able to treat it. I've also got a history of Ankylosing Spondylitis. Could this be connected somehow? What steps can I take to lighten or get rid of these dark spots?

Accepted Answer

The dark spots on your fingers knuckles and joints could be due to a condition called hyperpigmentation, which can be common in individuals with Ankylosing Spondylitis. To help lighten these dark spots, you can try using a topical cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected areas twice daily. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF on your hands and fingers can help prevent further darkening of the spots. If the dark spots persist or worsen, it is recommended to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

Question 2

I'm dealing with this skin issue I'm not sure how to explain it entirelyits something called "KaratMarathi" I think? I don't know what the English term for this disease is, but its like the blood freezes in a small circular area about the size of a coin. Its got a noticeable point and its showing up between my legs, like right below the private parts. Do you have any advice on what this might be or how I could treat it? I'm in the USA right now, so any help or guidance would be appreciated.

Accepted Answer

Dermat opinion is advised to the patient.

Question 3

I've been dealing with some red rashes and a bit of a fungal infection near my private areas. I read about using Onabet B cream, but I'm not exactly sure how long I should be applying it. Should I do it for 2 weeks or maybe extend it to 3? Would applying it twice a day be enough? Just want to make sure I'm doing it right to get rid of this quickly. What do you think?

Accepted Answer

Onabet-B cream is commonly used for fungal infections. For red rashes near the private parts, you should apply Onabet-B cream twice a day for a duration of 2 weeks. If the symptoms do not improve after 2 weeks, you can continue using it for an additional week for a total of 3 weeks.

I'm a 21-year-old woman and I don't have issues with acne, but my face tends to look dull. I tried Botanica 3D serum and liked the results. I'm thinking of keeping up with it, but I'm a bit worried about any possible side effects. Can I safely use it long-term?
