I've been using this Panderm Plus cream, and every time I go out, my skin seems to get darker, even though I put on sunscreen. I'm really thinking about stopping the use of this cream, but I'm not sure how to get my skin back to normal afterward. Do you have any advice on how I can handle this situation?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
- Gradually taper off: Don't stop using Panderm Plus abruptly. Gradually reduce the frequency and amount applied over 2-3 weeks.
- Replace with alternative creams: Consult your doctor or dermatologist for alternative creams that are less likely to cause hyperpigmentation.
- Use sunscreen with high SPF: Continue using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with high SPF (at least 30) and reapply every 2 hours.
- Wear protective clothing: Cover your skin with clothing, hats, and umbrellas when going out.
- Consider vitamin C or niacinamide creams: These creams may help reduce hyperpigmentation and promote skin brightening.

View allI've been dealing with vitiligo and have been using tacroz and Melbild for around 11 months now. It's helped quite a bit with reducing my patches. I started off with 0.1 tacroz but now I'm down to 0.03, and use it about 2-3 times a week. I avoid putting it on my legs and only apply it to my arms and scalp. I'm wondering if it's safe to keep using these products like this. I also take a week off every month. Do you think this is okay or should I be doing something different?
Yes You can continue, follow the treatment advised by your doctor,consume balanced diet, you will see results.

I'm a bit worried about taking isotroin 5mg daily for my acne since my dermatologist prescribed it for a whole month. What side effects should I be aware of? I'm just not sure about taking it for that long. Can anyone help with some advice?
Isotroin is a brand name for isotretinoin, which is commonly used to treat severe acne. Some possible side effects of isotretinoin include dry skin, chapped lips, dry eyes, nosebleeds, muscle aches, and increased sensitivity to the sun. It can also cause changes in mood, such as depression or aggressive tendencies. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully and report any concerning symptoms

I'm really struggling with this folliculitis problem on my scalp that's been going on for almost 4 years. It all started with these mild bumps, and I've been through so many dermatologists and tried all kinds of antibiotics. They work, but only as long as I'm taking them. The moment I stop, the blisters and pus come back in just a few weeks. Recently, I tried multivitamin injections to boost my immune system and it helped for a couple of months, but now the blisters are back and they're super painful. I even had a pus culture test done, but it came back negative for bacteria. I'm honestly at a loss on what to do now since the doctors say they've tried everything. Any advice on what steps to take next would be really helpful. I'm open to more tests if needed.
Since you have already tried different antibiotics and Betadine AD shampoo without long-term success, and the pus culture came back negative for bacterial growth, it may be worth considering other treatment options. One possible approach could be to try a combination therapy of oral antibiotics along with a topical antibiotic ointment.
