I've been using Flutivate cream on and off for about 8 years now. It gives my skin a nice glow whenever I apply it, but if I stop using it, I end up with a rash, and then I feel like I have to start using it again. I'm really not sure what to do. Could you give me some honest advice about this situation?

To break the cycle of dependence on Flutivate cream, consult a dermatologist to create a gradual tapering schedule, explore alternative treatments like topical retinoids or vitamin C serums, and address underlying skin issues to minimize rebound effects and promote healthier skin.

View allI'm dealing with this issue where my palm is getting darker, and a dermatologist mentioned it's hyperpigmentation. I've already tried medications from two different specialists, but it hasnt helped at all. I used to stay up really late for about 6-7 years, around 12 years ago. Im also a vegan. Could any of these be related to whats going on with my skin? I'm really curious about what else I can do to sort this out.
Hyperpigmentation of palms occur because of various causes like deficiency of vitamin B12, Addison's disease , malabsorption syndrome etc. So you need some investigation to exclude these conditions. Meet a dermatologist. Start vitaminB12 supplements.

I've got a lump between my thumb and index finger from an injury I got while playing cricket. A ball smacked right into my thumb, jamming it pretty hard, which left my hand swollen for over a week. The swelling finally went down, but now there's this hard lump in the webbing that still really hurts even with just a slight touch. It's been more than a year and I've tried icing it, but there's been no improvement. What should I do?
orthopedic opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm thinking about taking vitamin supplements after my CO2 fraxel laser resurfacing. I'm hoping it might help reduce the downtime. Could you tell me if that's a good idea? If so, what vitamins should I consider and how much should I take?
Taking Vitamin C and Vitamin E supplements post Co2 fraxel laser resurfacing can help in reducing downtime and promoting faster healing. You can take Vitamin C 1000mg daily and Vitamin E 400 IU daily to aid in the healing process.
