I've got this thing happening with my nipples where the skin turns dark brown or even black and gets really hard. It seems dry and cracked, and when I peel it off and use some cream or lotion, it gets better. But as soon as I stop using the cream, it goes back to how it was before. This has been happening for about two years now, and Im 19 years old. Do you have any idea what might be causing this and what I should do?

The dark brown or black, hard, dry, and cracked skin on the tip of your nipples may be a sign of nipple eczema, dermatitis, or hyperpigmentation, and to manage it, apply a fragrance-free moisturizer, avoid harsh soaps, and consider consulting a dermatologist

View allI've been using Melas cream for over a month, but I recently stopped because my skin keeps peeling. I'm really worried about how to get my skin back to normal. Do you have any recommendation on which cream might help with the recovery?
After stopping the use of Melas, it is important to allow your skin to recover. You can use a gentle moisturizing cream containing ingredients like aloe vera or hyaluronic acid to help soothe and hydrate your skin. Additionally, you can use a mild steroid cream like hydrocortisone 1% to reduce inflammation and promote healing. Make sure to apply these creams as directed by the manufacturer or your healthcare provider. It is also important to protect your skin from further damage by avoiding sun exposure and using a broad-spectrum sunscreen.

I've been using Flutivate cream on and off for about 8 years now. It gives my skin a nice glow whenever I apply it, but if I stop using it, I end up with a rash, and then I feel like I have to start using it again. I'm really not sure what to do. Could you give me some honest advice about this situation?
To break the cycle of dependence on Flutivate cream, consult a dermatologist to create a gradual tapering schedule, explore alternative treatments like topical retinoids or vitamin C serums, and address underlying skin issues to minimize rebound effects and promote healthier skin.

I'm dealing with something called tinea incognito and my doctor gave me two creamsLivafin and Onabet. They said to use them twice a day, but I'm confused. Should I be applying both at the same time or just one of them? Could really use some advice here.
You should use both creams as prescribed by your doctor. Apply Livafin cream first, followed by Onabet cream, twice daily. Livafin contains Terbinafine and Onabet contains Sertaconazole, both are antifungal medications that work together to treat tinea incognito effectively.
