I'm 25 and I've noticed these two yellowish deposits near my right eye. I'm pretty sure they're called xanthelasma. I'm a bit worried and just want to know what these are exactly and how I might be able to get rid of them. Are there any effective treatments or procedures I should consider? Any advice would really help!

Xanthelasma can be treated with the help of topical medications containing trichloroacetic acid or chemical peels. In some cases, cryotherapy or laser therapy may be recommended to remove the deposits. It is important to consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment.

View allI'm a 31-year-old who's been dealing with some skin issues, and I'd love some insight. A few weeks ago, I started experiencing itching around my penile area and scrotum, especially on my thighs. The skin there turned darker and dry, with white patches appearing because I couldn't stop scratching. I tried using CandidB cream regularly, and it helped initially, but then I noticed a bump on my foreskin, which disappeared after applying the cream. Now, Ive cut down the CandidB to about three times a week, but my main concern is that my foreskin is super dry, slightly inflamed, and seems really thin. This just started a day ago, after having sex with my wife. I've tried using coconut oil and even Vico turmeric, but it hasn't improved. I'm also diabetic, which might be a factor. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on and what I should do next?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection in the genital area, which is common in individuals with diabetes. I recommend you stop using candid-b cream as it may be contributing to the thinning of the skin. Instead, you can try an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day for 2 weeks. Additionally, keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting underwear made of cotton, and avoid any irritants like scented soaps or lotions. Since you are diabetic, it's important to keep your blood sugar levels under control as high blood sugar can contribute to fungal infections. Make sure to monitor your blood sugar regularly and follow your diabetic management plan.

I have keloids on my body and I'm really worried about them. Is there any way to treat them without surgery? Are there creams or other options that can help reduce them? Also, are these treatments easily available in India?
Yes, there are several ways to treat keloids without surgery, and many of these options are available in India. These include topical treatments like silicone gels and creams, corticosteroid injections, laser therapy, and in some cases, cryotherapy. While these methods can help improve the appearance and reduce symptoms like itching, they may not completely eliminate the keloid.
