I've been using Cosmelite cream for about a month now, as my dermatologist recommended it. But I've noticed that once I stop using it, my skin turns very dark. I'm worried and a bit confused. Is there a chance that this cream could cause skin cancer?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The risk of skin cancer from Cosmelite cream is considered low when used as prescribed by a doctor for a short duration.

View allI'm a 23-year-old guy and I've been noticing I've been losing hair more than usual lately. My dad's side doesn't have great hair either, but he's not bald yet. I've given minoxidil a shot but it didn't really help. My hair density is super low right now, but my hairline is still intact. Is a hair transplant my only option? Or am I too young to go down that road?
Hair transplant may not be the immediate or only solution for you. Consider medical treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, or PRP first, as they can slow or even reverse hair loss. You are not too young for a transplant, but its usually best to wait until your hair loss pattern is more stable.

I've been noticing that I'm getting these small boils on both of my hands. It's really frustrating because they leave dark scars after they heal. I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to get rid of these scars and maybe even prevent the boils from happening in the first place? Any advice would be really appreciated!
For the small boils on your hands, you can use an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to help prevent infection and promote healing. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with any discomfort. To get rid of the dark scars leftover by the boils, you can try using a scar treatment cream like Mederma. Apply it to the affected areas according to the package instructions. It may take some time for the scars to fade, so be patient and consistent with the treatment.

I'm really curious about RF microneedling and heard that it might have some side effects after a while. Is that true? I'm worried about it potentially damaging my skin in the long run. Can you let me know if that's something I should be concerned about?
