I've got this really bad pain and swelling going on in one of my toes, and I'm pretty sure it's due to an ingrown nail. I'm not sure who I should see about this. What kind of doctor or specialist would be the best to consult for something like this? Also, what kind of treatment should I expect or ask for?

Consult a podiatrist or a dermatologist for ingrown toenail treatment, which may involve soaking, trimming, or surgically removing the nail, and in severe cases, antibiotics or partial nail avulsion may be prescribed.

View allI've been dealing with oily skin and acne for a while now, and it always seems to leave scars behind. On top of that, I had pox a couple of years ago, and that also left scars. I'm really hoping to find a way to get rid of these scars. What can I do?
For acne and pox scars, consider using a gentle exfoliating routine with salicylic acid, and incorporate products containing vitamin C and retinoids to help fade scars. If the scars persist, a consultation with a dermatologist for treatments like chemical peels or microneedling might be beneficial.

I've been using NilacA gel for three days and I'm noticing that my face looks kind of whitish now. Is this normal? I started using it for my pimples and I'm not sure if I should be worried about this change in skin color. Can you help me understand what's happening and if I should continue using it or stop?
The whitening of the face could be a side effect of using Nilac-A gel. It is important to discontinue the gel and consult a dermatologist for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer to help with any irritation.

I'm really worried about my 8-year-old daughter. She's had this white spot on her nose for about a month now. Do you think it's something I should be concerned about? Could it be a skin issue or something else?
White spot on your daughter's nose could be a fungal infection known as tinea versicolor. You can use an over-the-counter antifungal cream containing clotrimazole twice a day for 2 weeks. If it does not improve, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation.
