I've been dealing with a pimple on my face for about 3 to 4 months, and I used Dettol on it. My skin burned in that spot, and now the burned skin is gone, but a black mark is left behind. It's getting darker as days go by. What can I do about it?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The dark mark, likely a post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) scar, can be treated with topical creams or serums containing ingredients like hydroquinone, kojic acid, or niacinamide; consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and personalized advice, and in the meantime, use sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily and avoid picking or scratching the area to prevent further darkening.

View allI'm wondering if it's okay to use Kozilite cream as my night cream long-term. I've been using it for about a month now and I love the results, but I recently read that using kojic acid for a long time might cause vitiligo. I have fair skin and don't have any pigmentation issues. Is it safe to keep using it?
When you have no need of it why to use it,,rather than taht you can use good moisturizers that will help in maintaining healthy skin

I'm currently 8 weeks pregnant and was wondering if it's safe to get my eyebrows and upper lip threaded. I also have pretty sensitive skin, so I'm a bit concerned about how it might react. Would love to get your thoughts on this!
Yes, it is generally safe to do eyebrow threading and upper lip threading during pregnancy, especially in the early stages like 8 weeks. However, since you have sensitive skin, it is important to be cautious. You can use a numbing cream containing lidocaine before the procedure to minimize any discomfort. Additionally, make sure the salon follows proper hygiene practices to reduce the risk of infection.

I'm using this cream called Lulican and I've been at it for about a week now. My skin is starting to peel, and while the itching has gone down a bit, the redness and marks haven't improved at all. Is this cream supposed to be doing this? Did I get the right diagnosis?
