I've been dealing with dry and cracked skin on my right palm for quite some time now, but it doesn't really hurt. It's just a bit concerning since my left hand seems totally fine and normal. What could be causing this difference, and should I be worried or seeing someone about this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
May be due to a variety of reasons such as excessive hand washing, exposure to harsh chemicals, or environmental factors. I recommend using a moisturizing cream containing urea and lactic acid, such as Eucerin Advanced Repair Hand Cream, twice a day on the affected hand. Additionally, wearing gloves while doing household chores or using hand sanitizers can help protect the skin.

View allI'm wondering about how effective benzac AC is for mild acne. Can I expect to see results in just a couple of weeks, or does it usually take longer? Also, I've heard some treatments can initially worsen acne before it gets better. Is that the case with benzac AC? And should I be concerned about it burning or irritating my skin?
Benzac AC, which contains benzoyl peroxide, is commonly used to treat mild to moderate acne. It typically takes about 4-6 weeks to see significant improvement in acne with regular use. Some people may experience an initial worsening of acne when they first start using Benzac AC, but this is usually temporary and should improve with continued use. Benzac AC may cause mild irritation, redness, or peeling of the skin, especially when starting treatment. It is important to start with a lower concentration and gradually increase as tolerated to minimize skin irritation.

I'm dealing with dandruff and hair fall, and I've suddenly started noticing some white hairs. I'm considering shaving my head. What do you think, is it a good idea? And is there any chance that shaving my head could make things worse or affect the way my hair grows back, considering the issues I'm already having?
yes but consult dermatologist
