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 allI'm noticing some itching all over my body, and it's really intense, especially around my thighs and inner thighs. I'm also seeing some red bumps in those areas. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a case of fungal infection, such as jock itch. You can try using an over-the-counter antifungal cream like Lotrimin Ultra or Lamisil AT. Apply the cream to the affected areas twice a day for about 2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to help with the itching and red bumps.

I've got a sebaceous pilar cyst on my head, and I'm looking to get it removed. I'm really worried and curiouswill my hair grow back after the cyst is taken out?
Sebaceous pilar cysts can be removed through a minor surgical procedure called excision. Hair typically grows back after the removal of a sebaceous pilar cyst, as long as the hair follicles are not damaged during the procedure. It is important to follow post-operative care instructions provided by your healthcare provider to promote proper healing and minimize the risk of complications.

I'm dealing with this jock itch and balanitis on my penis glans and I'm getting really worried. A few years back, I had ringworm and got treated by a doctor, which seemed to help, but then my scrotum skin ended up drying out and peeling completely. At the time, I thought it was just a part of the ringworm healing process. Now I'm freaking out, wondering if that's connected to what's happening now. I've been stuck with this jock itch ever since having the ringworm. Is this situation indicating some kind of penile cancer?
That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.
