I'm really worried about these pimple marks on my face. Is there any cream or tip you would recommend to help get rid of them in just one day? Would love to know what to try!
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
To remove pimple marks, you can try using a cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream, applied once daily at night. Additionally, using a sunscreen during the day is important to prevent further darkening of the marks. It is also helpful to incorporate products containing ingredients like glycolic acid or vitamin C into your skincare routine to promote skin cell turnover and fading of the marks. Remember, consistency is key when using these products for best results

I've had these black spots around my stomach for quite some time, probably around 23 months now. Initially, I thought they'd just fade away if I ignored them, but they're still there. There are about 8 of them, and they didn't start as pimples or anythingthey just appeared as black spots. Should I be worried about this or is there something that can help get rid of them?
Possible Causes 1. Melasma: Hormonal changes or sun exposure can cause melanin deposits, leading to black spots. 2. Hyper-pigmentation: Inflammation or skin injuries can cause an increase in melanin production, resulting in dark spots. 3. Skin tags: Small, benign growths can appear as black spots. 4. Seborrheic keratoses: Benign growths that can appear as black spots, especially in areas with high sun exposure. 5. Dermatosis papulosa nigra: A benign condition characterized by dark, raised spots. What to Do 1. Consult a dermatologist: Get a professional diagnosis to determine the cause of the black spots. 2. Skin examination: A dermatologist will examine your skin to determine the underlying cause. 3. Treatment options: Depending on the diagnosis, treatment options may include topical creams, laser therapy, or removal of skin tags or growths. Self-Care 1. Protect your skin from the sun: Use sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to prevent further darkening of the spots. 2. Maintain good skin hygiene: Keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection.

I'm dealing with jock itching every single day, and it's getting really uncomfortable. Can you explain what's causing this and is there a quick home treatment I can try to get some relief?
Jock itching, also known as tinea cruris, is a fungal infection that affects the skin in the groin area. It is commonly caused by a type of fungus called dermatophytes. The warm and moist environment of the groin area provides an ideal breeding ground for these fungi, leading to the development of jock itch. For fast home treatment of jock itching, you can use over-the-counter antifungal creams such as Clotrimazole (Canesten) or Miconazole (Monistat). Apply the cream to the affected area twice a day for at least 2 weeks, even after the symptoms have resolved, to ensure complete eradication of the fungus. Additionally, keeping the affected area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and avoiding sharing personal items like towels can help prevent the spread of the infection.
