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'm really worried about my face after a chemical peel with cosmoderma 50. I've ended up with burns on both cheeks, and now I've got these brown patches and pinkish flesh showing. What should I do? Is this normal, and how can I help my skin heal?

Avoid using that cream and consult if symptoms persists

I've got this tiny bump, about the size of a pea or smaller, on the bridge of my nose. It's been there for less than a week, and it's a bit red. It doesn't really hurt unless I press on it, but I can see a little bit of white pus under the surface. It doesn't seem like it's going to pop anytime soon. Any idea what this could be? Should I be worried about it? I can send a picture if that helps.

I've got these 4 tils on my left cheek and I'm really wondering if there's any way to get rid of them. I haven't tried any treatments or medicines yet. What do you suggest I should do? Is there a specific approach or medication that works best for something like this?

Facial moles, also known as til, can be treated with topical medications containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, and corticosteroids. One such medication is Melalite Cream, which contains hydroquinone. Apply a small amount of Melalite Cream on the til twice daily for several weeks. However, it is important to consult a dermatologist before starting any treatment to ensure proper diagnosis and management.
