I've been using cadiderma cream for a month now and switched to dermiford cream about a week ago. But I still have these red itchy spots and the itching just won't stop. What could be causing this, and is there something else I should be doing?

View allI've got this black mark on my skin from an oil splash that turned red, and even though I used boroline, the mark's still there. What ointment should I use to help fade it away?
A splash of oil can sometimes cause skin irritation and lead to discoloration. To help fade the black mark left by the oil, you can apply a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream. Apply a thin layer of Melalite cream on the affected area once daily in the evening. Make sure to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from further darkening.

I'm a bit worried about my left hand. My fingers have become really cracked and dry, to the point where they burn and bleed, and it only happens during the winter months. The weird thing is, it's just my left hand and not my right. I've used eczema lotion, and it helps a bit if I slather it on before bed, but my fingertips end up feeling like a cat's paw pad, almost like I don't have fingerprints. I do have mild psoriasis on my scalp and back, so I'm wondering if this could be related or something else entirely. Since it started last year around this time, and now it's happening again, I'd love some insight into what might be going on. Any ideas?
You may be experiencing a condition known as hand eczema, which can be exacerbated by psoriasis. To help with the dryness, cracking, and discomfort, I recommend using a prescription-strength corticosteroid cream like Clobetasol (0.05%) twice a day on the affected areas. Additionally, you can use a moisturizer like Cetaphil Restoraderm lotion multiple times a day to keep your skin hydrated. Make sure to protect your hands from harsh chemicals and wear gloves when doing any tasks that involve getting your hands wet. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm using Sebamed sunscreen 50 but noticed that it's only SPF 30, and my oily, sensitive skin tends to look dull on some days when I use it, while other days it seems fine. I'm considering switching to a gel-based sunscreen like Sunprotek because it has good reviews. I'm just not sure about the quality and ingredients, and whether it's a physical or chemical sunscreen. Can you help clarify this?
Yes you can use it no problem, visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment
