I'm wondering if Benzac AC 2.5 can actually help with removing scars. Like, is it safe to use this cream during the day, or should I avoid going outside when I have it on?

I'm dealing with hidradenitis suppurativa in my armpits, buttocks, sides, and pubic area. It all started when I was in Bangalore. Initially, I had these inflamed cysts under my arm that disappeared on their own, but then they reappeared and started draining. I saw a dermatologist in Bangalore for six months, but nothing really improved. I haven't sought any treatment since then, but now I'm searching for a good doctor in Delhi NCR who can help. Any advice or recommendations?

In your case, since the previous treatment did not show improvement, it is important to consult a dermatologist or a specialist in this field. In DelhiNCR, you can consider visiting a dermatologist at a reputed hospital or clinic such as AIIMS or Apollo Hospital. The doctor may prescribe medications like antibiotics (such as Clindamycin) to reduce inflammation and infection, retinoids (such as Isotretinoin) to help prevent new outbreaks, and corticosteroids for severe inflammation. In some cases, surgical intervention may be required to drain abscesses or remove affected tissue. It is important to follow the treatment plan as advised by the doctor for better management of the condition.

A black spot just appeared near the corner of my eye, on the side of my nose, and it's about the size of a big drop. I only noticed it when I woke up this morning. It's not itchy, and it doesn't feel like dry skin. I'm starting to get a bit worried. What might be causing this, and what tests should I consider getting done?

The sudden appearance of a non-itchy, non-dry black spot under the eye, near the nose, could be due to various causes such as a benign skin lesion (melanocytic nevus), allergic reaction, or vascular-related issues (hematoma or vascular malformation); consult a dermatologist
