I've had dark circles since I was really young and even tried avarta under eye cream prescribed by a dermatologist but it didn't help at all. Could this be a hereditary issue? Would I need cosmetic procedures to fix this or are there other treatments I should try first

Yes, genetics can be a significant factor in the appearance of dark circles, especially if you've had them since you were young and a prescribed cream didn't help. Cosmetic procedures can be an option, but they are not always necessary. There are other treatments you could try first, like lifestyle changes and home remedies, or medical treatments like fillers or laser therapy if the dark circles are caused by volume loss or pigmentation

View allI'm a bit worried about something. I had a 60 TCA cross done recently, and by the fifth day, I noticed that my skin started turning yellowish-white. I'm really suspecting it might be infected. I've been using terramycin skin ointment, but now I'm seeing some white stuff and pus coming out. Is this kind of reaction normal with this ointment?

I've been having some trouble with my foreskin lately. It seems swollen, and I'm unable to retract it over the head of my penis. This has got me pretty worried. Could you help me understand what's happening and what I should do? I'm feeling quite scared about this situation.
Please consult a urologist or dermatologist immediately, as a swollen foreskin that cannot retract can be a medical emergency, and prompt treatment can help alleviate discomfort and prevent complications.Self-Care Measures 1. Practice good hygiene: Gently clean the affected area with mild soap and lukewarm water. 2. Apply a topical cream: Over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream or antibiotic ointment may help reduce inflammation and prevent infection. 3. Avoid irritants: Refrain from using harsh soaps, tight clothing, or engaging in activities that may exacerbate the condition.

I've been dealing with scalp psoriasis and psoriasis on other parts of my body, and I've tried all sorts of medications, but it seems like they only provide temporary relief. Is there anything out there that might work as a permanent treatment? I'd love some advice on this as it's really been bothering me.
For scalp psoriasis and psoriasis, there is no permanent cure, but there are treatments that can help manage the symptoms effectively. Topical treatments such as clobetasol propionate (0.05%) solution can be applied directly to the scalp to reduce inflammation and itching. In addition, systemic medications like methotrexate or biologics such as adalimumab can be prescribed by a dermatologist to help control psoriasis flare-ups. It is important to follow up regularly with your healthcare provider to adjust the treatment plan as needed.
