Kya Betnovate N ke istemal ke baad vitamin E lagana theek hai? Main pichle 2 saal se Betnovate laga raha hoon aur mujhe ab iske side effects ki thodi chinta hone lagi hai. Aap kuch samjha sakte hain iske bare mein?

Please stop using betnovate cream as it contains strong steroids which will cause serious side effects. Steroid induced pimples, photosensitivity that is sun sensitivity, rosacea that is red face, atrophy that is skin thinning, stretch marks, pigmentation, dryness, severe itching and hair growth on the face etc to name a few side effects. Reports of skin cancer are also there. Please don't use any such Steroid containing fairness creams. You will require treatment to slowly put you off this cream by using some substitute as the skin becomes addicted to the steroid.

I've been using the Himalaya neem face pack and every time I apply it, my skin burns. Could you help me understand why this is happening?

After applying Himalaya Neem Face Pack, if you experience a burning sensation, it could be due to sensitivity to one of the ingredients in the face pack. I recommend trying a patch test before applying it to your face next time. If the burning sensation persists, you can try using a soothing cream like Calamine lotion to calm the irritation.

I've noticed a white formation around my penis that's really irritating and makes me want to scratch. When I take a bath, the white stuff goes away and my skin is actually black. What could this be? It's starting to worry me, and I'm not sure if it's something I should be concerned about or if there's a way to treat it. Any advice would be really helpful.

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I've had this boil that healed a while back, but now there's this hard lump left behind. It's not hurting or anything, but it does itch sometimes. It's been like this for about three months now. Is this something I should be worried about, or will it eventually just go away on its own?

You may have developed a residual lump or scar tissue after the boil healed. To help reduce the itching and possibly reduce the lump, you can try using an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream on the area. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the lump twice a day for about a week. If the itching persists or if the lump does not improve, you may need to consult a doctor for further evaluation.
