I've been using Betnovate cream on my face for about a year, but then I found out it has steroids, so I stopped. Now my face seems way darker compared to the rest of my body. What can I do to fix this, and should I see a specific type of specialist? I'm really worried about how my skin looks.

View allI've just turned 31 and recently got married, and I'm facing an issue with my skin. I've always had oily skin, but now I'm breaking out with a lot of pimples on my face. I maintain a really healthy diet, and I eat lots of fruits and veggies. Could this breakout be due to hormonal changes, maybe because my period is approaching? I'm worried and would appreciate any advice on how to reduce these pimples and deal with the spots they're leaving behind. What can I do about this?
Pimples can often flare up due to hormonal changes, especially around your period. Stress from new changes or diet can also contribute. To manage them, try using a gentle cleanser, avoid touching your face too much, and consider a spot treatment with ingredients like salicylic acid.

I'm using Ayu Hina hair dye and I'm concerned if it's safe for me. I've got dark spots on both my cheeks, and you previously suggested using Cutiyt and Obril cream. The spots are still there though, so what should I do next?
Ayu hina hair dye is generally considered safe for use. However, it is always recommended to do a patch test before applying it to your entire scalp to check for any allergic reactions. If you are still experiencing dark spots on your cheeks despite using Cutiyt and Obril cream, you may consider using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, and a corticosteroid. One such option is Melalite Forte cream, to be applied once daily at night on the affected areas. Remember to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from further darkening.

I've noticed some small white spots on my penis foreskin, and I'm a bit worried about what they might be. I went to see a urologist, and he mentioned that it's not serious but might be related to dermatology. The thing is, it's hard to find a private dermatologist consultation around here. What could these spots be, and how should I go about getting them treated?
The small white spots on your penis foreskin could be a condition called Fordyce spots, which are harmless and do not require treatment. However, if you are concerned or if they are causing discomfort, you can visit a dermatologist for further evaluation. The dermatologist may prescribe a topical treatment such as Retin-A (tretinoin) cream to help reduce the appearance of the spots. It is important to follow the dermatologist's advice for proper management of the condition.
