Question 1

I'm trying to find a B B cream that won't make my oily and acne-prone skin worse. Do you have any suggestions on which brand might work best for me? I could really use some advice.

Visit your Physician for evaluation and appropriate management

Question 2

I've noticed a patch of dry skin on my right under thigh, but it's not itchy or causing any discomfort. Could you recommend an ointment for this?

Accepted Answer

Since there's no itch or discomfort, you can try the following over-the-counter (OTC) ointments:

1. *Moisturizing creams*: Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream, Eucerin Advanced Repair Cream, or CeraVe Moisturizing Cream.
2. *Hydrocortisone cream*: A mild steroid cream like hydrocortisone (0.5-1%) can help reduce inflammation and dryness.
3. *Urea-based creams*: Urea (10-20%) creams, such as Eucerin Advanced Repair Cream or Aquaphor Healing Ointment, can help lock in moisture.
4. *Vaseline*: Petroleum jelly (Vaseline) can provide a protective barrier and help retain moisture.

Apply the ointment 2-3 times a day, or as needed. If the patch persists or worsens, consult a doctor or dermatologist for further guidance.

Question 3

I'm a 20-year-old guy and I've been dealing with hair thinning for about 10 months now. My hair used to be super thick, dense, and even wavy at 11 inches long. It started thinning at the whorl and spread in a whirpool direction across the top, front, and the sides. In the last 3 months, I've noticed noticeable thinning at my crown and the back of my head too. I did get a buzz cut 5 months ago, and my temples have receded just a bit, maybe a centimeter. My scalp was super dry and tight a while ago but that seems to be back to normal now. I've always had dandruff, those small white flakes, mostly during the winters. Looking at my family history, both grandfathers had no hair loss until the end. My dads at a Norwood 2, two uncles are bald, probably due to diabetes, and one has a full head of hair. On my moms side, two uncles are bald and two have no hair loss. I'm concerned because I've lost a lot of hair density in these 10 months, it's probably half what I had before. Any advice on whats happening or what I should do? I've got some photos attached if that helps.

this looks like androgenic alopecia which is male pattern baldness,there are good treatment modalities which would help in preventing further hairfall and regrowth of your hair,visit your dermatologist for appropriate management,above this consume balanced diet with extra protien which would help in giving strength to your hair.

I've noticed these white patches in the corners of my lips for about a year now. They don't hurt, but it seems like the whiteness is spreading. I'm really starting to wonder what's causing this. Any ideas?

May be due to a condition called oral thrush, which is a fungal infection caused by Candida albicans. I recommend using an antifungal medication such as clotrimazole. Additionally, maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding sugary foods can help prevent the infection from worsening.
