I'm a 22-year-old and I've noticed stretch marks all over my stomach. They're even extending down to my mons pubis area. When I touch them, they feel kind of hollow. I'm really worried they might get worse. Is having stretch marks in that area something to be concerned about?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Stretch marks on the mons pubis and outer vagina area are common and are usually not a threat to your health. To help reduce the appearance of stretch marks and prevent further increase, you can try using a topical cream containing Tretinoin. Apply a thin layer of Tretinoin cream on the affected areas once daily. Additionally, you can also use a moisturizer containing Hyaluronic Acid to keep the skin hydrated and improve its elasticity. Remember to consult with a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

View allI think I might have a staph infection. It's looking kind of purple and there's this big red spot around it, and it's pretty painful. Should I have it checked out?
Staph infections can range from minor skin problems to life-threatening conditions, so it's crucial to get a proper diagnosis and treatment. Your healthcare provider may perform a physical exam, take a sample of the infected area, or order imaging tests to confirm the diagnosis. If left untreated, staph infections can lead to serious complications, such as sepsis, a life-threatening condition that occurs when the infection spreads to your bloodstream.

I'm a bit worried because I've been using this vcx vitamin C serum my doctor told me to use every morning after washing my face, and instead of brightening my skin, it seems like my skin is getting darker. I've stopped using it for now but noticed that the serum has turned dark and has a weird smell. Is it still safe to use? Should I be applying this stuff in the morning or at night instead? My skin's pretty sensitive and has a bit of a dark wheatish tone, so I'm kinda concerned. Any advice would really help.
