Question 1

I'm really worried because I've been using this fairness cream for a month, and now my skin's gotten dull and I've started getting pimples. My skin used to be pretty good before this. Could the cream be damaging my skin? What should I do to fix it?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing a reaction to the cream you have been using. To help improve your skin condition, I recommend stopping the use of the current cream and switching to a gentle cleanser and a non-comedogenic moisturizer. You can also consider using a topical acne treatment containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid for the pimples. Additionally, incorporating a vitamin C serum can help brighten your skin. Remember to always use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin.

Question 2

I've noticed several soft, movable lumps on my hands and legs that my doctor said are lipomas. I'm really not keen on surgery are there any other ways to shrink or remove them naturally? What options might work for something like this?

Accepted Answer

Lipomas are benign fatty growths that usually don't require treatment. While surgery is a common treatment option, there are no known natural methods to shrink or remove them. If you are concerned about the appearance or discomfort of your lipomas, a dermatologist or surgeon can discuss other options, such as liposuction, which may be less invasive than surgical removal

Question 3

I'm a 17-year-old girl struggling with a ton of pimples on my face, and the usual acne creams haven't really worked out for me. I'm wondering if Metrogyl Gel could be effective for treating my acne?

Accepted Answer

Metrogyl Gel, containing metronidazole, is primarily used to treat rosacea, a skin condition characterized by redness, inflammation, and acne-like symptoms. While it might help with acne, its effectiveness for this purpose is limited.

For acne treatment, consider the following:

1. Benzoyl peroxide-based creams or gels (2.5% or 5%) for mild to moderate acne.
2. Salicylic acid-based products (0.5% or 2%) for blackheads and whiteheads.
3. Sulfur-based products for their antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Consult a dermatologist for personalized advice and treatment. They may prescribe topical or oral medications, such as retinoids, antibiotics, or hormonal treatments, depending on your acne severity and type.
