I've just started traveling on my own for the first time, and also began using new face creams and washes. Lately, I've been feeling a burning sensation on my skin, especially on my face, but surprisingly, there are no rashes. I'm really curious about what's causing this. Could it be related to the products, or is it something else?

View allI'm really worried about the dark, thick skin on my knees caused by Acanthosis nigricans. Are there any effective home remedies or natural ways to lighten this darkness and reduce the thickness of the skin? I'm a bit self-conscious about it and hoping for some guidance on what I can do at home.
For Acanthosis nigricans, it is important to address the underlying cause, such as obesity or insulin resistance. In addition to medical treatment, you can try using over-the-counter creams containing ingredients like retinoids or alpha hydroxy acids to help lighten the darkened skin. Moisturizing regularly can also help improve the appearance of the affected areas. To address the thickened skin in Acanthosis nigricans on the knees, you can try using a keratolytic cream containing ingredients like salicylic acid or urea to help soften and exfoliate the skin. Regular exfoliation and moisturizing can also help improve the texture of the skin on the knees.

I'm dealing with genital warts for the past 3 months. It started with just 12 warts, but now they seem to be increasing. Could you tell me what the best treatment options are? I'm really concerned about this and would appreciate your advice.
Genital warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can be treated with prescription medications. One of the most common treatments is using imiquimod cream (brand name Aldara). You can apply a thin layer of Aldara cream on the warts before bedtime, three times a week for up to 16 weeks. Another option is podofilox solution (brand name Condylox), which you can apply directly to the warts twice a day for three consecutive days, followed by four days off. This cycle can be repeated up to four times. It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider.

I've been dealing with a lot of itching and irritation, especially in my private area, and I've found that using prickly heat powder after a shower really helps. I'm wondering if it's safe to use it every day in that sensitive area or if it might cause any issues in the long run. Is this a normal practice, or should I be concerned about any side effects?
No,it is not advised .
