Question 1

I'm really worried about some skin issues I've been facing. I tried using apple cider vinegar, tea tree oil, and multani mitti on a few spots on my face. I left it on for about 20 minutes and washed it off. But then, those areas turned frosted and by the next morning, they started to look brown. I made the mistake of trying to peel them off and now it feels like it's burning a lot, with pinkish skin showing underneath. I'm really concerned about scarring. I'm currently using hydrocortisone 1 cream and keeping the areas moisturized, but I'm not sure what else I should do. How long will it take for my skin to heal and return to normal? Any advice or precautions would be really appreciated.

Accepted Answer

Discontinue the use of harsh products.
Moisturize and hydrate the skin using gentle products.
Use hydrocortisone cream sparingly for inflammation, but do not overuse.
Avoid picking, scratching, or peeling the skin.
Protect the area from the sun and ensure proper healing.
With proper care, the skin should heal within 1-2 weeks for mild burns, but more severe cases may take longer. Please continue to monitor the healing process, and if the situation does not improve or worsens, consider seeing a dermatologist.

Question 3

I've been using minoxidil for about a month and I've started noticing small breakouts and my skin is really itchy. On top of that, I've been feeling more tired than usual and the dark circles under my eyes seem more noticeable, even though I'm getting a solid 8 hours of sleep. Do you think these could be side effects of using minoxidil? Should I consider stopping it?
