I'm dealing with something that's really embarrassing - fordyce spots. I've done a lot of research and I'm pretty sure about the diagnosis. I'm in the South Mumbai area and I really want to get them removed. Can you suggest a good dermatologist who can help with this?

The treatment for Fordyce spots typically involves topical treatments such as Tretinoin cream or laser therapy. Tretinoin cream can be applied directly to the affected area once daily. Laser therapy, such as CO2 laser or pulsed dye laser, can also be used to reduce the appearance of Fordyce spots. However, it is important to consult with a dermatologist to determine the most appropriate treatment option and dosage for your specific case.

I've talked to a doctor online who recommended using Placentrex cream twice a day. I'm curious about how to get my skin back to its usual color.

I'm struggling with blackheads and enlarged pores, and my combination skin isn't making things easier. My T-zone gets pretty oily, while other areas are quite dry. I'm considering using Sebamed cleansing facial foam and the deep cleansing facial toner. Do you think these could help with reducing blackheads and minimizing pores? Would love some guidance on this!
Sebamed cleansing facial foam and Sebamed deep cleansing facial toner are good choices for reducing blackheads and minimizing pores. For your combination skin with a very oily T-zone and dry other parts, I recommend using Sebamed cleansing facial foam twice a day to cleanse your face. Follow up with Sebamed deep cleansing facial toner to help tighten pores and control excess oil production.

I'm dealing with ringworm on and off for the last 6 months and I'm really getting frustrated. I've tried loads of medicines and it sometimes improves, but then it comes back again. It all started when I had a longer-than-usual period, and now every month around that time, it flares up again. I did see a dermatologist, and their treatment almost cleared it up, but when my period hits, it pops back up, and now it seems to be spreading more. Do you have any advice on what's going on or what I should do?
