I've noticed that I've developed quite a few til on my face, and they seem to be increasing. I'm also seeing them appear on my neck and hands. What can I do to stop them from spreading and how do I get rid of them?

Excessive oil production on your face is often due to overactive sebaceous glands. While you cant completely stop oil production (and you shouldnt, as some oil is necessary for healthy skin), you can manage it effectively with the following steps: Cleanse properly, hydrate your skin, control shine during the day by carrying tissues to absorb the excess oil without disturbing makeup, adjust your diet, avoid heavy makeup, exfoliate weekly , use specialised treatments, manage stress.

View allCan I use Dermadew soap on my face? I've been struggling with acne there. When I had back acne, this soap really worked miracles and cleared it up. Now that the acne's on my face, I'm wondering if it would be safe and effective to use it there too. On top of that, Im dealing with atopic dermatitis on my face as well. Could using the soap worsen this skin issue?
yes continue the medications as advised by the dermatologist.

I'm dealing with some serious itching in my butt crack, and it's driving me crazy. Living in Mumbai, the humidity makes me sweat a lot, especially down there. I also have thick body hair, which doesnt help. Even touching it lightly causes a painful burning feeling. Any advice on what could help?
I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (brand name Canesten) twice a day in the affected area. Keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose cotton underwear to allow for better air circulation. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) to help with the itching. If the symptoms persist, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

Predicting the baby's sex based on urine pH and placenta position is a popular myth, but it's not scientifically proven. _Urine pH and Baby Sex_ 1. _No correlation_: There's no conclusive evidence linking urine pH to the baby's sex. 2. _Urine pH 6.5*: This pH level is within the normal range for pregnant women. _Placenta Position and Baby Sex_ 1. _No correlation*: Placenta position, including anterior upper segment, doesn't determine the baby's sex. 2. _Baby's position*: The baby's position on the left side is common and doesn't indicate the sex. _Scientific Methods for Sex Determination_ 1. _Ultrasound*: Around 18-20 weeks, an ultrasound can determine the baby's sex with high accuracy. 2. _Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT)*: This blood test can detect the baby's sex and screen for chromosomal abnormalities. At 22 weeks, you can ask your healthcare provider about the baby's sex during your next ultrasound appointment.
