I've been dealing with these painful, puss-filled boils under my arms that have a really bad smell. My doctor said they would go away with age, but it's been over 45 years and they keep coming and going. I shower twice a day and make sure not to shave, just trim, and I avoid using deodorants, opting for talc instead. I'm really getting frustrated and just want to know if there's anything else I can do or try?

View allI've been dealing with LPP on my neck, face, and limbs for over a year now, and it just seems like it's getting worse. My face has become really dark, and even though there are no lesions, it looks like severe hyperpigmentation. I'm using sunscreen daily and have been undergoing phototherapy for the past two months with 600mg NBUVB, but it doesn't seem to be helping. In fact, my pigmentation is getting darker, and my skin is so dry that it feels like I can see wrinkles forming. Is there a home remedy or any treatment that can help improve my complexion and skin condition without side effects? Also, should I be applying sunscreen when I go jogging in the morning from 7 to 7:30 AM, especially since my doctor advised me to avoid the sun? Any advice would be appreciated!
I recommend discussing with your doctor about the possibility of adding topical medications such as hydroquinone, tretinoin, or corticosteroids to your treatment regimen to help improve the pigmentation. In terms of home remedies, you can consider using natural ingredients like aloe vera, vitamin C serums, or licorice extract which may help in brightening the skin tone. However, these remedies may not be as effective as prescription medications. It is crucial to continue using sunscreen, even during your morning jogging from 7 to 7:30 AM, as sun exposure can worsen hyperpigmentation. Look for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher and reapply every two hours if you are outdoors. If you are concerned about dry skin and wrinkles, you can use a moisturizer containing hyaluronic acid or ceramides to help hydrate the skin and improve its texture. For further improvement in complexion and skin condition, you may also discuss with your doctor about chemical peels or laser treatments that can help in reducing hyperpigmentation and rejuvenating the skin.

I'm thinking about trying Safi by Hamdard to help purify my blood. Im curious if it really works and whether there are any possible side effects. Also, should I avoid certain foods like yogurt while taking it? And if you have any other suggestions for the best drink to purify blood, I'd love to hear them!
It is commonly used to improve skin conditions and purify the blood. However, like any medication, it may have side effects such as stomach irritation, diarrhea, or allergic reactions in some individuals. It is generally safe to consume yogurt while taking Safi. As for the best drink to purify blood, water is the most effective and natural way to help cleanse the blood. Staying hydrated by drinking an adequate amount of water throughout the day can help flush out toxins and impurities from the blood.

I'm using Melamet cream and it's been about 2 years. I've noticed some good changes in my skin, but I've recently heard it might not be the best for my skin in the long run. I also heard that using hydroquinone is safe and doesn't cause harm. It's been 10 days since I stopped using the cream and I haven't noticed any changes yet. I'm worried if stopping it might make my skin turn dark again. What can I do to maintain the fairness I've gained? Would love some advice on this.
It is possible that the positive effects you experienced were temporary and not sustainable in the long term. To maintain the fairness on your face, you can consider using a safer alternative like a sunscreen with a high SPF to protect your skin from further damage and prevent darkening. You can also use a skin lightening cream containing Hydroquinone 2% under the guidance of a dermatologist to help even out your skin tone. Remember to always patch test any new products before applying them to your face and consult with a dermatologist for personalized recommendations based on your skin type and concerns.
