I'm really worried about using Emolene because I keep hearing it's packed with chemicals and might not be safe. My skin is super sensitive and dry, and I'm afraid it might cause breakouts. Do you think it's okay to use, or should I look for something else?

Emolene cream is generally considered safe for use on sensitive and dry skin. It is a moisturizing cream that helps to hydrate and soothe the skin. However, as with any skincare product, there is a possibility of individual sensitivity or allergic reactions to certain ingredients. It is always recommended to do a patch test before using it on a larger area of the skin. Emolene cream does not typically cause breakouts, but if you have a history of acne-prone skin, it is advisable to consult with a dermatologist before using it extensively. The key is to use a small amount initially and monitor how your skin reacts. If you experience any redness, itching, or irritation, discontinue use and seek medical advice.

I've got this pain on my upper right butt cheek, and I found a small lump there about the size of a chickpea. It's making me a bit worried. It really hurts when I press on it. What could this be?

I've been having some trouble since I got a facial and waxing done. My face has these really bad patches now, and the left cheek feels super tight. I'm starting to think it might be a chemical burn. I tried using ice since last night, but it hasn't really made a difference. Could you let me know what else I should do?

avoid scratching the affected area and u can put eyes no problem with that.usuallly its self limiting, if it continues or becoming worse visit Dermatologist as soon as possible for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I'm really concerned about my hair loss, especially around the front. Are there any treatments I can try or suggestions you might have for dealing with this issue? I'd really appreciate your guidance.

A common treatment option is minoxidil. You can try using Rogaine, which is a brand name for minoxidil. Apply 1 mL of Rogaine solution to the affected area on your scalp twice daily. It may help promote hair growth and prevent further hair loss. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.
