I've been dealing with these lichen planus spots for a while now. Even after treatment, they seem to come back. I'm really looking for something that's a permanent fix. Could you help me find the best treatment that prevents them from regrowing? I'm starting to feel a bit frustrated with this cycle.

Lichen planus spots can be treated with topical corticosteroids such as Clobetasol cream applied twice daily for several weeks. In more severe cases, oral corticosteroids like Prednisone may be prescribed for a short period. For long-term management and prevention of regrowth, topical immunomodulators like Tacrolimus ointment can be used. Additionally, antihistamines like Loratadine can help with itching. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor the condition and adjust treatment as needed.

View allI've been struggling with frequent pimples for quite some time now. I started using Lobate GM about four years ago, but the pimples just keep coming back, especially if I try to switch my face wash. Lately, it's been really bad, mostly on my forehead, and I'm not sure what to do. I'm currently in Chennai working for an MNC, and it's becoming pretty frustrating to manage. Can you suggest a complete solution for this ongoing issue? It would be great if you could also recommend any ointments that might suit my skin type.
To address your persistent pimple issue, consider consulting a dermatologist in Chennai for personalized guidance; in the meantime, maintain a consistent skincare routine, use non-comedogenic products, and avoid changing face washes frequently; regarding Lobate GM cream, it contains neomycin and clotrimazole, which may not be suitable for long-term use, so consider alternative treatments like benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or tea tree oil-based products, and for specific product recommendations, consult your dermatologist, who can prescribe suitable ointments or creams based on your skin type and condition.

I'm 20 and having a hard time with beard and mustache growth. I started seeing some hair on my chin about four years ago, but it never spread out over my whole face. It's been frustrating not seeing much progress since then. Could you suggest some treatments or medicines that might help with full beard growth?

I've been diagnosed with rosacea about 5 months ago and I've been using lacto calamine lotion. The past few days I started putting coconut oil on at night because my skin gets pretty dry. My skin feels soft and there aren't any flakes, but I still get a few red patches when it's really humid. It's got me feeling pretty down and I'm wondering if I should just stick with what I'm doing. Also, does rosacea ever go away? I feel really depressed over this. What do you think?
