I'm thinking about using Cosmelite cream because my aunt recommended it to me. But I'm a bit unsure about it. Can anyone advise whether it's safe to start using it or if there are any concerns I should be aware of?

It contains a combination of Hydroquinone, Tretinoin, and Mometasone. If you have been advised to use Cosmelite cream for some skin conditions, you can apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected area once at night, or as directed by your doctor. However, it is important to note that this cream should not be used for a prolonged period of time, as it can lead to side effects such as skin thinning, redness, and increased sensitivity to sunlight. Before using Cosmelite cream, it is recommended to do a patch test on a small area of your skin to check for any allergic reactions.

I've been dealing with macular amyloidosis for two years now and nothing seems to work creams, meds, nothing. Are there any surgical options like dermabrasion or chemical peels that could help? I'm worried about safety but also really want something that actually works. What do you suggest?
While topical treatments are the first line of defense for macular amyloidosis, dermabrasion and chemical peels are sometimes considered as options, but they carry risks and should be discussed with a dermatologist. Other surgical options like laser therapy, specifically Nd:YAG laser, have also been shown to be effective. It's crucial to consult with a dermatologist to determine the safest and most appropriate treatment plan for your specific case, as individual results can vary

I accidentally burned my leg with hot water and I've been using Silverex ointment, Burnosaf ointment, Lizolib, and taking Dalacin tablets. But there's still a lot of itching and pain. Do you have any advice on how to make this heal faster?
Burns can be painful and itchy, but with the right treatment, you can promote healing and reduce discomfort. Current Treatment You're already using: 1. Silverex ointment: Helps prevent infection and promotes healing. 2. Burnosaf ointment: Soothes and protects the skin. 3. Lizolib: An antibiotic ointment to prevent infection. 4. Dalacin tablet: An oral antibiotic to prevent infection. Additional Measures to Promote Healing and Reduce Discomfort 1. Keep the wound clean and dry: Gently clean the area with mild soap and lukewarm water. Pat dry with a clean towel. 2. Apply a topical anesthetic cream: Over-the-counter (OTC) creams like lidocaine or benzocaine can help numb the area, reducing pain and itching. 3. Use a cool compress: Apply a cool, wet compress to the affected area to reduce itching and discomfort. 4. Take an oral antihistamine: If the itching is severe, an OTC antihistamine like diphenhydramine (Benadryl) can help relieve itching and reduce the allergic response. 5. Keep the area moisturized: Once the wound is healed, apply a moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated and promote skin elasticity.
