What's the cost of getting laser treatment for tanning on my face? I'd really like to know about any changes I might see afterward and if there are any side effects. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it generally safe? I'm really curious to hear your thoughts on this.

The cost of laser treatment for your face regarding tanning can range from Rs 1,000 to Rs 30,000 per session in India. The treatment can help reduce tanning, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone by targeting melanin and promoting collagen production. As for side effects, you may experience minor and temporary issues like redness, pain, or infections, but these can be minimized by choosing a reputable clinic and experienced dermatologist.

I'm worried because I've been using this melamite cream for a couple of years to clear up my pimples. A friend recommended it, and it worked, but now if I try to stop using it, my face gets all red and starts burning. I really want to stop using this cream, but I don't know how to do it without these side effects. Do you know of any easy and fast ways to help me quit using it?

First of all, it's important to discontinue the use of Melamite cream to prevent further irritation. You can soothe your skin by using a gentle cleanser and applying a moisturizer with ingredients like aloe vera or hyaluronic acid. To help with the redness and burning sensation, you can use a topical corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone cream twice a day for a few days. Additionally, an over-the-counter antihistamine like Cetirizine can help reduce any itching or inflammation. Make sure to protect your skin from the sun and avoid harsh skincare products during this time. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with allergic eruptions ever since I was a kid. Recently, I found out I have psoriasis and eczema on my joints like my ankles, elbows, and knees. My IgE levels are pretty high at 1700. I regularly take Allegra 120 and Montair LC which help a bit, but nothing seems to truly work. I'm in a tough spot and dont know what to do. Can you offer any advice on how to manage or reduce these issues? I've tried both homeopathy and allopathy, but no luck so far.

For the management of Psoriasis and eczema with allergic eruptions, in addition to your current antihistamines, I recommend adding a topical corticosteroid cream like Betnovate to reduce inflammation and itching. Apply a thin layer to the affected areas once or twice daily. Also, you can use a moisturizer like Cetaphil to keep the skin hydrated. Furthermore, you can consider taking an immunosuppressant medication like Methotrexate under the guidance of a dermatologist to help control the autoimmune response causing Psoriasis. This should be taken once a week in a prescribed dosage. It's important to continue with regular follow-ups with your dermatologist to monitor your condition and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
