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 really worried because my daughter accidentally spilled hot tea on her chest, and now she has about three spots, each around an inch, that got burned. After treatment, her chest is okay now, but the skin color where it burned is different from her normal skin. What can I do to help the color of the burned skin blend back in with her regular skin tone?

I've been dealing with this annoying acne problem for quite some time now. It keeps showing up, disappearing, and then coming back again. My current derm has put me on tretiva 30, and Ive also done chemical peels about eight times. Yet, Im still getting these pesky pimples. Im curious if I should continue with my current treatment or try something different. What do you think?
It's great that you're already consulting a dermatologist for your acne concerns. Given your 7-8 year history with acne, it's not surprising that it's been a persistent issue. Tretiva 30 mg and chemical peels: 1. Tretiva 30 mg: This medication, containing isotretinoin, is commonly used to treat severe acne. The fact that your acne has reduced considerably is a positive sign. 2. Chemical peels: These can help improve skin texture, reduce acne scars, and control acne. Having done 8 sessions in 3 months is a good effort. Pimples persisting: Despite the treatments, pimples persisting can be frustrating. This might be due to various factors, such as: 1. Hormonal fluctuations: Acne can be influenced by hormonal changes. 2. Bacterial resistance: Acne-causing bacteria might develop resistance to treatments. 3. Skin care routine: Inconsistent or inadequate skin care might contribute to persistent acne. 4. Underlying skin conditions: Conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, or inflammatory bowel disease can increase the risk of acne.
