Question 1

I've got a skin burn from a bike silencer that happened about a month ago, and it's still not healing. I've seen a doctor and completed an antibiotics course, but the situation hasn't improved. Now, for the past 23 days, I've noticed small bumps around the burn with liquid inside them. The liquid keeps leaking out, and there's a lot of itching. What do you think is going on, and what can I do to help it heal?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may have developed an infection in the burn wound. I recommend using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to help prevent further infection. Additionally, you can take an oral antibiotic like Augmentin to treat the infection from within. For the itching, you can take an antihistamine such as Levocet.

Question 2

I've noticed that my lips, especially the upper one, are quite pigmented. I'm wondering if a laser treatment would be a good option for me. Also, do you have any idea about how much it might cost?

Question 4

I've got some hard skin that's formed on my right hand little finger, and it's making me itch constantly. Once I start scratching, it's hard to stop. I'm really not sure what's going on and it's getting kinda annoying. Could this be something serious...

Accepted Answer

If it really hard and pigmentation is seen that could be a type of psoriatic patch, avoid scratching and keep it moist, visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment.

Question 6

I've been using Betnovate N for quite a while now, and I've noticed my face has gotten a lot darker. I'm really worried and I've started using sunscreen, but I'm not sure if that's enough. Do you have any advice on how to brighten my skin again? Also...

Accepted Answer

While PRP therapy can be helpful for overall skin rejuvenation, it may not be a quick fix for pigmentation caused by long-term steroid use. It is best to focus on a brightening skincare routine with ingredients like Vitamin C, niacinamide, and retinoids, along with regular sun protection. If your pigmentation persists, laser treatments or other professional treatments may be helpful.

Ultimately, its crucial to consult with a dermatologist to receive tailored advice and treatments
