I'm dealing with really sensitive skin and got a tan from being in the sea. Do you know any good creams or treatments that could help? I tried a carbon facial, but now my skin feels crazy dry, even though it used to be oily. Any advice on how to fix this?

For your sensitive and tanned skin, you can try using a topical corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream to reduce inflammation and redness. Additionally, you can use a moisturizer containing Aloe Vera or Calamine lotion to soothe your skin and keep it hydrated. To address the dryness caused by the carbon facial, you can switch to a gentle, hydrating cleanser and use a non-comedogenic moisturizer like Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream. Make sure to apply sunscreen with at least SPF 30 before going out in the sun to prevent further damage.

View allI'm really worried about something that happened after using a VIP black hair dye shampoo. I dyed my hair with it and washed it off within 5 minutes, but then I started having really itchy eyes and this tingling feeling all over my body. I used the same shampoo two months ago after doing a patch test, and everything was fine back then, no side effects like this. Now it's been over 14 hours since I used it and my eyelids are still itchy and I'm feeling a bit of tingling here and there. Is this kind of reaction normal, or should I be concerned? I'm really looking for some advice on what to do next.
The symptoms your friend is experiencing, such as itchy eyes and tingling sensation all over the body, after using the VIP black hair dye shampoo, are not normal and could be a cause for concern. Possible Causes 1. Allergic Reaction: The patch test 2 months ago might not have detected an allergic reaction, which can develop over time. The symptoms could be an allergic response to one or more ingredients in the shampoo. 2. Paraphenylenediamine (PPD) Reaction: PPD is a common ingredient in hair dyes, including black hair dye shampoos. PPD can cause an allergic reaction, which may lead to symptoms like itchy eyes, tingling sensation, and skin irritation. 3. Histamine Release: The shampoo might have triggered a histamine release, leading to blood vessel dilation, increased heart rate, and itching sensations.seek medical attention

I recently got bitten by something called a Nairobi fly, and now I've got these awful blisters that hurt a lot. I've been taking cetrazin antihistamines for the past three days, but they haven't helped at all. The blisters seem to be spreading, and I'm really worried because I don't know how to treat this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Clopivate cream for local application is advise for 7 days, if any side -effects dermatologist opinion is advised .

I'm currently being treated for tuberculosis and have been on medication for about two months. Initially, I was on Akurit 4 for around 1.5 months, but it gave me really bad joint pain, so my doctor switched me to AKT 3. Lately, I've been facing significant hair fall, and I'm worried I might lose all my hair soon. I've also noticed some white strands popping up. Could you please advise on what I can do about this situation?
Yes are the probable side effects of Anti Tubercular drugs,the joint pains could be Rheumatoid Arthritis also no need to worry everything is reversible once the treatment is doen,have a regular check with your doctor consume protien rich diet.
