I've noticed black spots on my ankles and I'm kinda worried. I don't see any other symptoms or problems, but some friends mentioned I should maybe see a doctor about it. Could you explain why these black spots might be appearing? And is there anything I can do to get rid of them?

I'm really concerned about my 3-month-old daughter's skin. I've been using a massage routine with homemade ghee, and then I apply a mixture of gram flour, raw milk, and turmeric powder after 15 minutes. I want to know if it's safe to use these things daily to help lighten her skin tone. Is this okay for her delicate skin? What would you suggest I do to help her?

No they are not adviced to use because their skin is sensitive,you can use natural oils nothing more than that

I'm trying to figure out when it's best to use this cream and what the benefits are. I'm also wondering if it's okay to use it during the summer months. Could you give me some advice?

It would be helpful if you could provide the name of the cream you are referring to, so I can give you more specific information about its uses and benefits. Additionally, whether a cream can be used in summer depends on its ingredients and formulation. Some creams may be too heavy or occlusive for hot and humid weather, while others may be specifically designed for summer use.

I accidentally burned my leg with hot water and I've been using Silverex ointment, Burnosaf ointment, Lizolib, and taking Dalacin tablets. But there's still a lot of itching and pain. Do you have any advice on how to make this heal faster?

Burns can be painful and itchy, but with the right treatment, you can promote healing and reduce discomfort. Current Treatment You're already using: 1. Silverex ointment: Helps prevent infection and promotes healing. 2. Burnosaf ointment: Soothes and protects the skin. 3. Lizolib: An antibiotic ointment to prevent infection. 4. Dalacin tablet: An oral antibiotic to prevent infection. Additional Measures to Promote Healing and Reduce Discomfort 1. Keep the wound clean and dry: Gently clean the area with mild soap and lukewarm water. Pat dry with a clean towel. 2. Apply a topical anesthetic cream: Over-the-counter (OTC) creams like lidocaine or benzocaine can help numb the area, reducing pain and itching. 3. Use a cool compress: Apply a cool, wet compress to the affected area to reduce itching and discomfort. 4. Take an oral antihistamine: If the itching is severe, an OTC antihistamine like diphenhydramine (Benadryl) can help relieve itching and reduce the allergic response. 5. Keep the area moisturized: Once the wound is healed, apply a moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated and promote skin elasticity.
