I've noticed I've developed a bunch of new tiny moles, each about 1mm or smaller, on my hands and legs. I'm a bit concerned and curious about what might be causing these new moles to appear. Any ideas on what this could mean?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The development of new moles, especially in areas like hands and legs, can be due to various factors such as genetics, sun exposure, and hormonal changes. It is important to monitor these moles for any changes in size, shape, or color. To help prevent further development of new moles, it is recommended to avoid excessive sun exposure and use sunscreen regularly.

View allI'm really worried about my 8-year-old daughter. She's had this white spot on her nose for about a month now. Do you think it's something I should be concerned about? Could it be a skin issue or something else?
White spot on your daughter's nose could be a fungal infection known as tinea versicolor. You can use an over-the-counter antifungal cream containing clotrimazole twice a day for 2 weeks. If it does not improve, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation.

I've been living near Darjeeling, and just recently, I returned from a short trip to my hometown Nashik. Since coming back, I've noticed these dark patches around my waist and underarms. What could be causing this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called acanthosis nigricans, which is characterized by dark, velvety patches of skin. This can be caused by various factors such as obesity, insulin resistance, hormonal disorders, or certain medications. To help improve this condition, you can try using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, retinoids, or azelaic acid to lighten the dark patches. Additionally, maintaining a healthy weight through diet and exercise can also be beneficial. I recommend using a cream like Melalite Forte cream twice daily on the affected areas for 8-12 weeks. Make sure to apply a thin layer and avoid sun exposure on the treated areas. If the dark patches persist or worsen, it is best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
