Question 1

I've been dealing with a ton of facial hair, and it's really driving me up the wall. I keep up with threading and waxing, but it's getting to be such a bother. Do you think laser treatments would be a smart move for me? I'm wondering how many sessions I'd need to cover my entire face. Also, are there any side effects I should be worried about?

Accepted Answer

Laser hair removal can be a good option for reducing facial hair. It is effective in targeting hair follicles and reducing hair growth over time. The number of sessions required for the entire face can vary depending on individual factors such as hair thickness and skin tone, but typically around 6-8 sessions may be needed for optimal results. Some common side effects of laser hair removal on the face may include temporary redness, swelling, and mild discomfort during the procedure. It is important to follow post-care instructions provided by your healthcare provider to minimize any potential side effects. You can consider using brands like Lumenis LightSheer for laser hair removal on the face. The dosage and frequency of sessions will be determined by the healthcare provider based on your individual needs.

Question 2

I've noticed that my genital area has become dark brown, and I'm wondering if there's any treatment available to lighten it, similar to how depigmentation is done for the face. Are there options like cryotherapy to help with this? Also, how can I prevent it from getting darker? Does anyone offer this kind of treatment in Bangalore?

Accepted Answer

Its natural and healthy to have dark intimate area no need to worry,you can use intimate moisturizer that would help you

Question 3

I'm really struggling with a skin fungal infection that's affecting different parts of my body, even my nails. There's this thick, whitish growth on my toenail and I've used all sorts of antifungal creams for what feels like forever, but nothing seems to fully get rid of it. It's really frustrating. Do you have any advice on what might work or why this is happening?

Accepted Answer

Having skin fungal infection in different areas of your body, including your nails (whitish thick nail of your foot), can be challenging to treat. To effectively treat fungal infections, especially on the nails, oral antifungal medications are often necessary. I recommend speaking with your doctor about prescribing you oral antifungal medication such as Terbinafine. Additionally, using topical antifungal creams like Clotrimazole (brand name Lotrimin) or Miconazole (brand name Monistat) can help in conjunction with the oral medication. Remember to keep the affected areas clean and dry to prevent further spread of the infection.

I've noticed this red pore on my nose that's been around for almost a year now. I'm kind of worried about what it could be and how to get rid of it. I regularly squeeze blackheads on my nose, so I wonder if maybe it's an infected pore? What do you think?
