Question 1

I've noticed that my armpits have turned dark and patchy, and there's a bit of swelling too. It gets itchy, especially when I sweat. I don't put deodorant directly on my skin. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Melacure cream for local application for atleast 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient, as it is economical.

Question 2

I've noticed this dark patch appearing on my temple, right between my forehead and nose. The skin texture feels normal, not rough or anything, but it looks like it's just more tanned than the rest of my face. I'm pretty sure it's not actually a tan. What can I do to make it go away?

Accepted Answer

This black patch could be a condition called melasma, which is a common skin problem causing dark, discolored patches on the skin. To help fade the black patch, you can use a cream containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, and a corticosteroid. An example of such a cream is Tri-Luma, which should be applied once daily in the evening. Additionally, using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily can help prevent further darkening of the skin. Remember to consult with a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Question 3

I got the chickenpox virus back in 2016, and since then, I've been using Dermadew Lite soap. I'm kind of worried about whether it's okay to use it every day. I'm just curious if using it regularly is safe or if there are any side effects I should know about. It only seems to be available at pharmacies, so it feels like a medicated soap. Could you give me some advice on whether I should keep using it or not?

Accepted Answer

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I've been using kojic acid cream that my doctor recommended, and it worked well for my skin. Now I'm dealing with some pimple marks on my face. I'm thinking about trying melaglow. Is it okay to switch to melaglow, or should I stick with what I was using?

Kojiglo cream for local application for atleast 3 weeks is advised.
