I'm using dermikem oc cream right now, but I'm looking for some advice on achieving glowing, whiter skin. Could you suggest something better or give me some tips?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Dermikem OC cream contains Ofloxacin and Clobetasol, typically used for bacterial infections and skin inflammation. For glowing, healthy-looking skin, consider the following:
Alternative Treatments
- Kojic acid creams: Natural alternative to hydroquinone, helps reduce melanin production.
- Niacinamide creams: Improves skin brightness, reduces inflammation, and enhances skin elasticity.
- Vitamin C serums: Boosts collagen production, brightens skin tone, and protects against environmental stressors.
- Retinoid creams: Derivatives of vitamin A, promote cell turnover, collagen production, and skin elasticity.
Skin Care Routine
- Cleansing: Use a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser suitable for your skin type.
- Toning: Apply a toner to balance your skin's pH and remove residual impurities.
- Moisturizing: Use a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer to hydrate your skin.
- Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily.
Additional Tips
- Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out.
- Eat a balanced diet: Focus on whole foods rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.
- Exercise regularly: Engage in moderate physical activity to improve circulation

View allMy beard growth is really patchy it only grows on the outer edges but stays thin in the middle and front. I've been taking multivitamins but haven't seen much improvement. I'm hesitant to try rogaine because of the side effects, and surgery isn't an option for me right now. There are some small hairs, but they haven't gotten thicker in over a year. Any idea what could help?
Beard density is mostly genetic; PRP or microneedling might help, but results vary and should be dermatologist-guided.

I had a hair transplant done a while ago but now the areas of my scalp that were fine before are starting to thin out. What non-surgical options do I have to address this new hair loss? I'm worried it might keep spreading.
If areas of your scalp that were previously healthy are now thinning after a hair transplant, there are several non-surgical options to address this. These include hair growth medications like minoxidil or finasteride, laser therapy, nutritional supplements, and addressing any underlying scalp conditions. You could also consider a second hair transplant or Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy.

I've been dealing with these recurring pus-filled boils on my thighs and upper leg area. There's always this redness and swelling around them, and they keep coming back. It's getting really frustrating and I just want to know what's causing them and how I can prevent them. Any advice?
Recurring pus filled boils on the thighs and upper leg area with redness and swelling indicate a skin infection. This may be due to a bacteria called Staphylococcus aureus. To treat this condition, you can use an antibiotic ointment containing Mupirocin applied to the affected area three times a day. In addition, an oral antibiotic like Cephalexin 500mg four times a day for 7-10 days can also be prescribed to help clear the infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid tight clothing to prevent further irritation.
