I'm a bit concerned about using Melacare cream for a long time because I've been using it for 2 years now. Are there any serious issues I should be aware of if I keep using it long-term?

I've been dealing with scabies for half a year now and it's super frustrating. I tried some cream that starts with an L, but I had an allergic reaction to it. Then I used the Derbac lotion, like, four times, and it still hasn't worked. I even called my doctor and they said there's nothing else they can prescribe. Is there really nothing else I can do? My skin is a mess from all the scratching, and even anti-itch creams aren't helping. What should I do?

dermat opinion is adised.

I've been reading about the Yellow Peel treatment, and I'm wondering if the effects last permanently or if they're just temporary. Can it really get rid of pigmentation on the face for good?

Effects of Yellow Peel treatment are usually temporary. It can help reduce pigmentation on the face, but the results may not be permanent. To reduce pigmentation permanently, you may consider using topical creams containing hydroquinone or tretinoin, or undergoing laser treatments such as Q-switched Nd:YAG laser.

I've got this painful boil or blister kind of thing on the corner of my left eyebrow, and it's really bothering my eyes. It's so uncomfortable that I can't even rub my eyes if I need to. What do you think I should do about it?

You may have a stye, which is a red, painful lump near the edge of the eyelid. You can try using an antibiotic ointment like Bacitracin or Polysporin on the affected area. Apply it gently on the boil 2-3 times a day. You can also use warm compresses to help reduce the pain and promote drainage. Make sure to wash your hands before and after touching the area to prevent further infection. If the pain persists or if there is any vision changes, please consult an eye specialist.
