I've been dealing with a bit of a situation and could really use some advice. I had this small pimple on my forehead, and I ended up popping it early. I cleaned it up, but there was a bit of bleeding. I used some undiluted Dettol on a cotton swab to clean it, but that just made it worse and caused some irritation and a burn. I've tried soothing it with aloe vera gel, but now there's this dark circle, and it's been a few days. Any ideas on what medicine could help clear this up quickly?

View allI'm really worried about my 12-year-old daughter's hair turning white. She's got about 50 white hairs already. I'm not sure what to do or which treatment would be best. Can you tell me what type of doctor we should see for this issue?
Premature graying of hair can be due to various factors such as genetics, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal changes, or stress. To address this issue, you can consult a dermatologist. They can evaluate the underlying cause and recommend appropriate treatment. In this case, the doctor may prescribe a medication like Minoxidil solution to help with hair regrowth and prevent further graying. The dosage and application instructions will be provided by the dermatologist after evaluation.

I'm really concerned about the tip of my nose being red-pink and a bit swollen. There's no itching, but it's definitely painful when I touch it. It also looks like tiny pimples are forming on the swollen part. Should I be worried about this, or is it something that'll just clear up on its own?
The symptoms you are describing sound like you may have a localized skin infection on the tip of your nose. This could be due to a bacterial infection or inflammation of the hair follicles. To help treat this, you can apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin on the affected area twice a day. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with the pain and swelling. If the symptoms do not improve within a few days or if they worsen, it would be best to consult a doctor for further evaluation and possible prescription of oral antibiotics.

I'm looking for a skin whitening cream that works well for both my face and body. I want something that provides maximum benefits and shows quick results. Can you recommend a good one?
There can be several causes why your skin would turn dark or you may get pigmentation. Sun tan, overweight, pigmentation disorders like acanthosis nigricans or melasma, nutritional deficiency etc are some conditions. Unless someone examines you, we cannot know the cause. Unless we find out the cause it is difficult and pointless to treat consult dermatologist
