Question 1

I've started using Erythego gel and Ivermectin cream because my face was feeling hot and burning with some redness. At first, the redness seemed to get better, but the burning feeling didn't really go away. It only stops for a bit when I put on the medicine, but the rest of the time, my face still feels warm. I'm starting to wonder if these medications could be making the burning worse instead of helping me. Could they be causing the redness, too?

Accepted Answer

yes

Accepted Answer

The skin darkening under your breast and pubic area could be due to a condition called acanthosis nigricans, which is often associated with insulin resistance or hormonal imbalances. I recommend using a topical cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid to help lighten the affected areas. You can try using Melalite cream twice daily for 4-6 weeks. However, it is important to consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis

To address this, I recommend trying a combination antifungal cream containing Clotrimazole 1% and Betamethasone 0.05%. Apply a thin layer of this cream to the affected area twice daily for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take oral antifungal medication like Terbinafine 250mg once daily for 2-4 weeks to help clear the infection from within. Remember to maintain good hygiene practices and avoid sharing personal items to prevent reinfection.

Question 5

I've got these giltis all over my body like on my stomach, hand, back, and thighs. They're not painful, but they look pretty weird. Should I be concerned about these? What could be causing them?

Accepted Answer

Giltis, also known as keratosis pilaris (KP), are small, rough, sandpapery bumps on the skin. They can appear on various body parts, such as the stomach, hands, back, thighs, and arms.

Possible Causes:

1. Genetics: KP can run in families.
2. Dry skin: Dry skin can exacerbate KP.
3. Nutritional deficiencies: Deficiencies in vitamins A, C, and E, as well as minerals like zinc, can contribute to KP.
4. Hormonal changes: Hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy, puberty, or menopause can lead to KP.

Symptoms:

1. Small, rough bumps on the skin
2. Sandpapery texture
3. May appear red or brown
4. Typically doesn't cause pain or itching

Treatment Options:

1. Moisturize: Keeping the skin hydrated can help reduce the appearance of KP.
2. Exfoliate: Gently exfoliating the skin with a loofah or gentle scrub can help remove dead skin cells.
3. Topical creams: Creams containing urea, hyaluronic acid, or salicylic acid can help soften and remove dead skin cells.
4. Microdermabrasion: A non-invasive exfoliating treatment that can help improve skin texture.

Home Remedies:

1. Sugar or salt scrub: Mix sugar or salt with a gentle cleanser and massage onto the skin before rinsing.
2. Coconut oil: Apply coconut oil to the affected areas to help moisturize and soften the skin.
3. Oatmeal baths: Oatmeal can help soothe and soften the skin.
