Is it really possible to remove a tan? What are the best ways to get rid of it? Also, which type of doctor should I consult to help me completely remove a tan?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, tan removal is possible. Some ways to remove tan include using sunscreen, exfoliating regularly, using skin-lightening creams containing ingredients like hydroquinone or kojic acid, and undergoing chemical peels or laser treatments. A dermatologist can help you in removing tan completely by recommending appropriate treatments such as prescription-strength skin-lightening creams or procedures like chemical peels or laser therapy.

View allI'm really curious about how glycolic acid cream works, especially if I'm already using benzoyl peroxide 2.5% for my acne. My skin is pretty sensitive, so I'm worried about potential reactions. What's the best way to use these products together to avoid irritating my skin? Any tips would be super helpful!
Glycolic acid cream works by exfoliating the skin, unclogging pores, and promoting skin cell turnover, which can help improve acne. When used in conjunction with benzoyl peroxide 2.5%, it can enhance the effectiveness of the treatment by further exfoliating the skin and reducing inflammation. For sensitive skin, it is important to start with a lower concentration of glycolic acid (around 5-8%) and gradually increase the frequency of use as tolerated. It is recommended to apply a small amount of glycolic acid cream to clean, dry skin once every other day initially, and then increase to daily use if there is no irritation. Always follow up with a moisturizer and use a sunscreen during the day when using glycolic acid, as it can increase sun sensitivity.

I was at your clinic on the 16th, and we talked about my hair fall and dandruff issues. You recommended kenzsal lotion, which I bought from the medicine store there. But I forgot to ask how I should use it and for how long. Also, I'm dealing with premature white hair, and I'm just 29 and work as a design engineer. Any suggestions on how to slow down or reduce the white hair?

I'm dealing with this dry and rough skin issue on my back, right around my spine. The rough patches are starting to spread out over more of my back, and it gets really itchy if I don't apply any skin cream like Fourderm. What's going on, and should I be worried about it spreading further?
That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.
