Is Vaseline good for face?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Vaseline is a Petroleum Jelly based moisturiser. As long as the person is not allergic to Vaseline they can apply it to the face but in very limited quantities to prevent blockage of pores and Acne.

My upper lip has gotten thicker and I'm not happy with how it looks. I really don't want to go for surgery are there any home remedies or natural ways to make it thinner? What can I try at home to reduce the thickness?

Try cold compresses, turmeric, and facial massages for thick lips. If no change, consult a dermatologist. Surgery is a last resort.

I'm dealing with this ring guard on my skin, and it's starting to spread to the lower part of my body. I'm really worried about it. Here are some pictures. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I should do?

You may have a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to help with the healing process. If the infection does not improve or worsens, please follow up with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been using Clindac A face wash for my grade 1 acne for almost 3 months now, but I'm still getting some breakouts. I'm supposed to finish this treatment by November 5th. Should I keep using it, or is it time to try something new? And if I should switch, do you have any recommendations for a good face wash that could help?

Since your acne situation has improved but you are still experiencing breakouts, it may be beneficial to switch to a different face wash. You can try using a face wash containing benzoyl peroxide, such as "Benzac AC Gel" in a suitable concentration for your skin type. It is effective in treating acne and preventing future breakouts. Remember to follow the dosage instructions provided on the product packaging.
