I'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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI've been experiencing these red rashes that seem to show up only in the evenings and last for about 23 hours. Its been happening for almost 3 months now, mostly on my face, but sometimes they appear on my back and foot too. They tend to vanish soon after I take an Allegra tablet but frustratingly pop up again after 48 hours when evening arrives. Weirdly, this only happens when I'm in Mumbai or on a working day, and it started around August. Last year, a 10-day course of Allegra seemed to solve the issue completely. Im really curious and a bit worried about why this is happening. What could be causing these rashes, and how can I get rid of them for good?
Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.

I've been using minoxidil 5% solution for about three weeks now, and I've noticed I'm losing more hair than before I started. Is this normal? When should I expect to see results? Also, I have quite a bit of white haircan I use hair dye, and if so, what's the safest option? I'm a bit worried and would really appreciate some guidance.
Continue minoxidol 5.. medication.
