View allI'm really worried because my 4-month-old baby has such dry skin, even after using a moisturizer twice a day. I'm currently using Himalaya cream, but it's like his skin is still dry. There's also some peeling under his chin. A doctor recommended Desosoft cream, and we've been using it for 10 days, but nothing's changed. Could you suggest a cream or something else that might help get his skin back to normal?
I recommend trying a gentle and effective moisturizer like Cetaphil Restoraderm Eczema Calming Body Moisturizer. Apply this moisturizer twice a day on the affected areas, especially on the chin where the skin is peeling. Additionally, make sure to keep your baby well-hydrated by giving him plenty of fluids throughout the day.

My underarms are really dark and it's been bothering me for years. I don't want to go for surgery are there any effective creams or other non-surgical solutions that can lighten them permanently? I've even stopped wearing sleeveless clothes because of this
Dark underarms can be effectively lightened with topical creams, chemical peels, or laser treatments, but permanent lightening is not guaranteed. While some home remedies like lemon juice or turmeric might offer temporary improvements, they are not a long-term solution. Consult a dermatologist to determine the best course of action for your specific case.

I've been dealing with acne vulgaris on both my cheeks for a few months now, and after following my dermatologist's advice, the acne's finally under control. But now I'm left with these scars on my cheeks. Could you suggest a treatment or maybe some options to help get rid of these scars?
To help reduce the appearance of acne scars on your cheeks, you can try using a topical cream containing Tretinoin. Apply a thin layer of Tretinoin cream 0.025% to the affected areas once daily in the evening. Additionally, you can also consider using a Vitamin C serum to help brighten and even out your skin tone. Apply a few drops of Vitamin C serum in the morning before applying sunscreen. For more severe acne scars, you may benefit from treatments such as chemical peels or microdermabrasion. These procedures can be done by a dermatologist to help improve the texture of your skin and reduce the appearance of scars. Remember to always wear sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from further damage and to prevent the scars from worsening.
