hi, i have recently last few weeks had problem with skin around my eyes the skin colour has darkened, the skin its very dry/itchy and flakey in the morning? I also had a red rash on penis/ and can be slightly flakey which i had seen my local GP about and was given cream for both issues but the cream given for my eyes didnt help! DO you have any suggestions at all? And can both problems be down to same thing? | Hello, Welcome to Health care Magic What was the diagnosis of the penile and eye rash and what was the cream given? It is unlikely that both rash is the same. Dry itchy skin around eye could be a contact dermatitis. Skin around the eyes are very sensitive. Have you started using any new face washes or cosmetics? skin around eyes are also prone for air borne contact allergies. Air borne allergens like pollens, cement, dust etc can cause the rash. It is better to consult a dermatologist as you don't seem to improve with the creams prescribed by GP. Keep washing your face regularly and frequent application of moisturiser after wash will help. Hope this helped Take care |
My stomachgets very dry im wondering what causes this no im not pregnant and i have tryed four diffrent body washes and nothing has changed and i did not change my body wash to something diffrent when it started it started in about the middle of my regular bodywash. I dont belive it being the body wash as that is the only really dry area on my body | hi, you seem to have developed excessive dryness of skin over the stomach region. Well in case you dont have any associated itching or redness over the same area, then you need not worry...But if there is any redness or itching ,then it can be a sign of a fungal infection or any eczematous condition. In that case you will have to consult a skin specialist for proper assessment and diagnosis....But if there is no associated complaint, then you need not worry. Just keep your skin adequately moisturised.. apply plenty of moisturising lotions and preferably use some oil also once a day ( something like olve oil or almond oil )... hope it helps Dr Geetika Paul |
hi i have leathery dry skin i have melasma on the corners of my mouth its epidermal because it keeps coming back and i control this witha steriod called betnovate its only tempory i am so distressed as i have tried bleaching prroduct of evry sort and nothing works this steriod has thinned out my skin has given me uneven skin colour and spider veins and also i have pores al over my skin my skin is smooth to touch but dry this is what its done to my skin its so leathery and dry at the same time i do not knw wot to do help me plz its spread to my uper lip now what can i do | hi, First of all, you seem to be really stressed because of your condition..please dont be so...Melasma is a common problem and one of the known etiological agents is stress..so you have to stop worrying firstly... Now as i can make out, you have been using too many steroids over your face because of which your skin has thinned down and you have developed telangiectasis.. so most importantly,,stop using topical steroids,,they are doing more harm to your skin,, Steroids when used as a lightening agent , only cause some degree of temporary improvement. so they are not of any permanent help.. As you have dry and leathery skin, i would recommend that you should use plenty of emmolients (moisturizing creams) over your face. another thing is that you should always use a sunscreen atleast half an hour before going out in the sun..preferably use a lotion or cream formulation as you have dry skin then certain non steroidal agents like kojic acid and vitamin C formulations have been found to be effective in controlling hyperpigmentation in patients who develop side effects due to excess steroid use. and lastly , try to improve your diet,,,take plenty of fresh fruits and salads..especially citrus fruits as these are a good source of Vitamins and antioxidants and so are very good for skin..... Hope it helps Dr Geetika Paul |
Hi! I usually bite and peel my lips to remove the dead skin but a couple years ago I peeled to the point where I removed a lot of the actual skin with it and it now leaves a very bright pink stain as opposed to the regular pink of my lips. How can I get rid of this bright pink patch? It is really annoying and self concious to look at :( | hello welcome to healthcare magic forum thank you for your query you have already damage your normal lip skin apply good moisturizer cream over it apply tacrolimus 0.03% cream over it avoid direct sun and wind exposure over lip do not lick ,bite the lip better to consult dermatologist if you do not get result i hope i answered your question |
I am a male, age 20, height 6ft 2inch, weight 11 stone . I have a patch of dry skin in the pubic region that has been there for a few weeks now, I thought it might go away but it hasn t. the skin is slightly duller in colour to the rest of my skin, it isn t particularly itchy, doesn t hurt. I only noticed when I felt it, it feels rougher and is slightly raised above the rest of my skin. It looks like some kind of exma but i have never had exma anywhere else before. What could this be? thanks | Hello dear. Thanks for the query. Dry patch in pubic area is unlikely to be eczema. The patches of eczema usually ooze. It might be a fungal infection known as tinea cruris. You can try an anti fungal cream. Remember to apply the cream for atleast 1 month even if the lesion disappears. This will help you. If you dont get relief in a week, you must meet a dermatologist. Thank you |
My husband has a large callus like lots of stripes or welts on the back of his thigh from years of his military airborne uniform leg strap rubbing. I would like to know how to help relieve the rough skin, mild occasional itching and have his leg eventually feel more normal and soft and flesh like. I can t find pictures online to liken his issue to get further advice. THANKYOU | Hi From the description it seems your husband is having persistent friction induced lichen simplex chronicus. The same can be treated by moisturising the area many times with a urea or lactic acid based moisturising cream along with application of steroid salicylic acid ointment. If the lesions are too itchy, antihistamine like cetirizine may be taken. Hope that helps. Take care |
i am married for more than a year now...my doc has prescribed me to take fertyl last month n this month she has given me ovofar...this month my periods got late by 4 days.but on the 5th day i started bleeding...how long will it take for me to concieve? | Hi, I think you can try for 3 to 6 months with the tablets. The chance to get pregnant in one cycle of fertyl is 7 to 10 percent only. So, you should try for 6 months at least. If it doesn't work, then you can go for IUI. Hope I have answered your question. Regards Dr khushboo |
I woke up yesterday morning with dry lips which felt extremely chapped but would normally come off easily in the shower and lips would be fine after moisturizing. I rubbed my lips gently in the shower but it felt painful after which lead me to look closer and i noticed it was bright red and swollen. It looks like the skin growing back but it easily comes off in some areas. What is wrong with me? | Hello.You could be having a simple exfoliative problem of the lips,but sometimes it could also be something called lichen planus. A skin biopsy from the site would identify the problem.It is definitely a treatable condition. |

hello doctor, my father is having the problem of dry skin and itching for the past 7 months. is it advisable to use evion capsules and tablets? he has been taking fexofenadine tablets for this problem after which it is under control.he has been given oilatum solution which he mixes in water while bathing.this itching becomes more in the evening.please advise | Hi Ramya, Firstly the cause for itching and dryness should be ruled out. Sometimes old age too renders the skin dry and may lead to itching. In such cases, the following suggestions might help Use a mild soap like cetaphil or hidrate or dove Apart from using oilatum solution, he should immediately apply a moisturiser just after bathing like venusia or elovera lotion etc He may continue with fexofenadine If the problem still persists despite these measures, he may apply steroid lotion in the concerned areas. Hope that helps. Take care |
I have an area of dry flaky skin under one eye which is slightly red and itchy as well as a blistering of the skin under the eye area, I was prescribed I think it is call fusidic acid eye cream but any hydrocortisone based cream seems to strong as I have very sensitive skin . Am using either sudocreme or vaseline at the moment. Thank you. | Hi, Thanks for writing to us. From the description it seems you are having eczema or some irritant reaction. To treat the same application of fusidic acid cream alone would not help. You need to apply a steroidal cream. If hydrocortisone seems to be stronger, you may try desonide or clobetasone cream. These are the mildest steroids and may help you out. Applying Vaseline or diaper rash cream would not help much. Hope that helps. Take care |
Hi Doctor, I have a normal skin when i was in xxxxx. Now in xxx for the past one year, i face a problem of very dry skin . I can see cracks in my skin.

Dear Dr xxxxx, my lips are dry for last ONE month and sometime I see cracks on my lips especially at the mouth edges. I have been using Vaseline for last 1 month regularly but I do not think it is improving as such. For last 1 week I have been taking Vitamin-B and Vitamin-A tablets (twice a day). Can you suggest me some medicines. | Hello dear. Thanks for the query. It is true that dry chapped lips specially at the corners is usually caused by vitamin B complex deficiency. However the response to treatment with vitamins is often poor. Usually a topical medication is required. Please apply oint mupirocine daily in morning and oint tess in night for 10 days. Along with this also keep taking vitamins. You will get good relief. Thank you |

hi i have a few questions: I have had dry skin from start. I first started using Pond Cold Cream, which made my skin oily. 1 year ago my doctor prescribed me benzamycin gel, which . I notice drys my skin out . So when ever I wash my face it turns red near my mouth and under eyes near nose .I do not know which moisturizer to use. Im not sure what to do i only use hhhh gggggg benzamycin once a week now, before it was daily. out | hi..thanks for your query. Benzamycin contains both benzoyl peroxide and erythromycin; these are anti-acne medications and in many people, skin gets drier on repeated use.Do you still have pimples? If not, you can stop this completely. You can use Clindamycin gel occassioanaly if you have few eruptions. For a regular care of the dry skin you have, you can use Cetaphil cleanser for dry/sensitive skin. After washing face, you should apply a non comedogenic ,oil free moisturizer ,which are available with many pharmaceutical companies OTC in most countries.U might need to repeat applications of the moisturizer according to the nature of your skin.Finally, a sunscreen should be applied 20 mins before sun exposure and repeated 4-5hourly.The sunscreen should be non Comedogenic as well. hope this helps..take care! |
Hi, I am having very dry skin and so I was suffering from sun burn and rashes when exposed to sun .So I consulted a skin specialist and as per the instructions given to me , I started using momate lotion . BUt when I stopped using it , I am again having some problem in my skin such as rashes and all . What should I do ? | Hi, thanks for posting the query You are suffering from sun burns, you have not mentioned whether you are still having sunexposure, and the duration for which you have used momate lotion.however the following may be of help: Avoid sunexposure as much as possible when ever you are in sun apply a sunscreen with high spf like50+, as your skin is sensitive to sun rays, repeat it every three hours (effect lasts for roughly three-four hours after application) You can apply momate lotion for a few days and as the rashes come down shift to milder one like hydrocortisone and stop it once the rashs go away. Apply a moisturiser as per your need twice or thrice a day oral antioxidants aand beta carotene prepration once a day contact a dermatologist to rule out other causes of rash Hope this helps you |
I recently permed my hair but this morning I woke up and there was a dry patchiness on the right side of my face. i put alcohol on it and it really burned. Now there are small bumps and what looks like welts on my face and it stll itches a little. I m not sure what happened. I used to have oily skin but now it is extremely dry. What gives? | Hi, from your above description, use of alcohol over the dry patch has caused an contact irritant reaction on your skin. apply a calamine lotion mixed with emolient , as it is a soothing agent and will be helpful in reducing itching.add an oral antihistaminic iif it itches a lot for a few days. Use a mild steroid like hydrocortisone cream over the involved area . but not for longer time as it can cause acne advise you to meet a dermatologist for clinical examination and specific treatment accordingly |
Hi, Im a 39yr old male and I ve lived in Southern California for around ten years, Im from Scotland and have fair skin and I had to work outside and didn t always give due diligence with the sunscreen. Its at the stage were my skin is just hammered. I have small vessels showing on the cheeks which are constantly red, and I have dry flaking on my chin and nose and behind one ear. I literally have tried all the mild moisturizers recommended by the cvs girls etc.....and I cant find one that doesn t instantly burn and turn my face crimson. Its now so bad my skin is just flaking constantly and its spreading to the scalp . I tried anti dandruff for the scalp which seems to work quite well, but Im at my wits end with the skin problems. I also fell against a wall about 3 years ago playing racquetball and took the skin off around one off my eyes and cheek quite badly and its alwayd been red and tender since then.........Any advice would be hugely appreciated, Thank you very much guys | Hi, From the description it seems you are probably having seborrheic dermatitis alone or seborrheic dermatitisand rosacea together which may coexist. Seborrheic dermatitis is characterised by dry flaky skin over eyelids, eyebrows, nasolabial folds, behind ear, scalp, upper chest, back , groin, limbs ( flexors) etc. To treat the same use an anti dandruff shampoo containing ketoconazole three days in a week To treat dry skin over face, use cetaphil cleanser and moisturiser and apply a mild steroid antifungal cream( you may mix and apply hydrocortisone and clotrimazole cream) for not more than a week. As steroid can exacerbate rosacea if used for too long. With the above suggestions, your skin would be better. To take care of rosacea, use of sunscreen daily is mandatory. Avoid spicy, hot food, alcohol etc. Vascular form of rosacea responds best to IPL. You may also try applying Azelaic acid cream to reduce redness and swelling. I would recommend a dermatologist's visit so that a proper skin examination can be done to evaluate your skin problems in a better way. Take care. |
Hello since an half year i got white little flakes come out of cuts on my heels i already been to the doctor and Dermatologic they say that my skin is just dry but i almost sure that its something else. if i stand in the sunlight you can see thousands of little flakes around me and it get you a stuffy nose and sneez and you need to cough if it get into your mouth i hope you can help me | Hi, This dryness of skin( xerosis) could be due to dry weather, use of harsh soaps, central air conditioners or warmers or due to pathological factors like psoriasis, eczema, thyroid disorders etc. You may follow these suggestions to keep skin well hydrated 1) use Luke warm water to bathe as hot water dries skin 2) use a mild soap like dove, cetaphil etc 3) apply a moisturiser immediately after bath and in evening. Use a lactic acid or urea based moisturiser. 4) to treat dry cracked heels- soak them in warm water twice in a day. Apply a steroid salicylic acid based ointment under occlusion for few days to help cracked heels heal. Once they heal make it a point to moisturise them daily with a urea or lactic acid based moisturiser or cream. Hope that answers your query. Take care. |
Hello Sir, I am Senthil Nathan aged 23. I have dry skin and fish scales (brown colour) all over my body esp during winter season. I m having this problem from my childhood. I suspect whether it is due to ichthyosis vulgaris ? I m really worried about this disease. I have been applying Cotaryl cream as per doctor s medication but it is not giving permanent remedy. I am really frustrated. I m scared of getting married sir. I have some other problems like very lean, no growth of mustache and beard. Are these due to Ichthyosis vulagaris sir? I feel very low and cant go for public meetings. Dono wat to do. Pls give me some solution sir. I m dying everyday. Thank you sir. Expecting ur valuable reply :) | Hi Senthil, Welcome to HCM. Thanks for writing in. Ichthyosis vulgaris being a genetic condition cannot be cured completely it can only be controlled. A specialized moisturizer like Xerina cream will help a lot. Beard and moustache hair growth has nothing to do with ichthyosis. With regular moisturization and electroporation technique ichthyosis is almost invisible. Consult a qualified dermatologist to help you with the procedure Hope this helps. Wishing you good health. Regards. DrSudarshan MD Dermatology. |
Hello! I have had a dry patch of skin on my hip, it has been there now for at least two weeks! I have been given an anti fungal cream, & it hasnt cleared it up at all! It gets quite itchy after being in water, but otherwise it doesnt itch at all! Im just begining to think it is something to worry about, as it hasnt cleared up at all | Hi dry patch of skin may be due to psoriasis or eczema as itching is also present.physical examination is needed to diagnose correctly and i advise you to consult dermatologist. |
Hey, The knuckles of my middle and small finger on both hands, have a hard dry skin . There is no pain or no problems of sort. I have tried softening it applying lotions, keep cleaning it, still of no use. Not sure what the problem is. I am diabetic and have high cholesterol and blood pressure . Please help with the cause and resolution. | Hi there Anshul. The condition you describe is commonly referred to as 'knuckle pads'.\ There can be various causes including frictional or metabolic reasons but most commonly they occur in genetically predisposed individuals or are idiopathic in nature. Diabetes & high blood pressure do not have a direct role to play. One may try some emolllients used frequently & topical salicylic acid based creams but will require a prescription & it is perhaps best that one consults with a skin specialist dealing with cosmetology nearest you. Do hope this helps clear the air for you & the lesions will soon get better if not disappear & you grow comfortable with them. Cheers & Good luck! Dr Praveen Rodrigues MD Dermatologist, Cosmetologist, Venereologist St Martha's Hospital & Vikram Hospital, Bangalore, India. |
Okay, so my face has gotten dry extremely quickly in a matter of day. I ve tried so many things, lotion, facial cream, calamine lotion, natural oils , water, and a few other things and nothing has helped. It actually burned extremely baldy. Is anything else good to use? My friend told me to try sperm . Is that a good idea? I really need help. It hurts so bad. | Hi, To treat your dry skin, use a mild soap free oatmeal or glycerin based cleanser. Never use extremely warm or hot water to bathe or clean face. Always dab the wet area with towel and immediately apply an intensive moisturiser to lock the moisture( preferably squalene based). Initially to treat extremely dry burning itchy skin, use a mild steroid cream over face for few days. Once the skin normalises, stick to the routine mentioned above. Do not try weird home remedies to treat dryness! Hope that answers your query. Take care. |
Hi. I live in abudhabi.climate here is chill. I had a normal skin until two days ago but past two days I m face severe dryness with red patches all over my face. Initially it was white n flaky now it s turned red. Wen I apply mynmoisturiser I feel burning sensation. Kindly help. I use cetaphil face wash n bioderma atoderm pp baume moisturizer . Kindly help. | Hello.You seem to suffer from seborrheic dermatitis on the face,which tends to worsen in extreme temperatures.See your local dermatologist,a short course of steroids with antifungals will help. |
My husband and i are tring to get pregant and we made love around and at ovulation time and i have been taking my bbt each moring, and im just trying to figure out if i could be pregnant. I ovulated last sunday and yesterday my throat started hurting and i woke up witha fever and my bbt was 100.48 and today my bbt was 98.04....After ovulation it was 97.97 and then went up to the 98s and stayed there. Is there a chance i could be pregant? | Hi, I think as you had sore throat, the bbt will not be indicative of ovulation. You can track your ovulation by ultrasound or by ovulation detection kits. Be in contact with your husband every 2 to 3 days after your periods stop. It will increase chances of your pregnancy. Hope I have answered your question. Regards Dr khushboo |
I noticed about 2 months ago i had this dry/pink patch of skin on my chest its kinda of a random shape also is about 2 inches in length and 1 inch wide. then about 2 weeks ago i noticed a bunch of smaller dry patches that are a little pink but not as much as the one on my chest appear in random places on my stomach and side. they don t itch at all im just wondering why they wont go away, especially the big one on my chest that s has been there for almost 2 months | I have what sounds like the same thing, my dermatologist told he it was pityriasis rosea or Christmas tree rash. It starts with a 'herald patch', the large dry patch that is still present... Then a couple weeks later (or a couple days depending on the person) you will see a bunch of smaller pink dry patches that form sort of a Christmas tree shape, though mine looks like blobs. The Dr. said it was viral and it usually starts with a sore throat as a symptom in most people. The rash usually goes away in 6-8 weeks. Take antihistamines and keep the area moist to calm the itching (if it is itchy for you). |
I have developed itchy dry skin in the area from along my jawline to underneath my cheeckbones on both sides of my face. I also have a scalp infection that I did get a checkup on, and I was prescribed antibiotics , and given the instruction that if it did not heal within a week, then it may be a sign of fungal infection? Would that be linked to the irritation on my face as well? I also have a painful patch of skin on the edge of my left eye and in the corner of it as well. It has been a number of weeks now, and I dont think it has anything to do with hormones. | Welcome Thanks for the query . It is surely related to the irritation of the skin . I would suggest you should use a combination of an antifungal and steroid cream for a short while like a week twice a day . After that a long term maintenance with only topical application of the antifungal would be essential part of the treatment . In case it does not improve make sure you see a Dermatologist Thanks and take care |
hey doc I ve been having dryness around my nose ever since 8th grade due to I think was excessive proactiv. until recently I ve been getting eczema around my nose and have eliminated sugars since I think makes it worse. it s now turned into hot and red nose after I eat some sugar. is this just hereditary and I have to live with it or is there a treatment? | HiConrad, Thanks for writing in. The condition you are suffering from can be acne rosacea or contact dermatitis. etc. Chances of rosacea are more.Rosacea is treatable with drugs.It is a chronic but treatable condition. Consider visiting your GP or dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment. You can apply Hydrocortisone cream over the area till you visit a doctor. Hope this helps. Regards Dr Sudarshan MD Dermatology. |
Good Day. I am a 41 years old Male, non-smoker. Over the past few weeks I have developed itchy red patches on my jawbones. The area is very flaky and is constantly dry. The condition is aggravated by shaving and even though I have been putting on different creams and lotions to hydrate the area, the itchiness and flaking continues. My physician has recommended applying Zindaclin 1% Gel and Eczmol 1% w/w cream none of which is proving beneficial. I do suffer from sebhoerric dermatitis on my scalp which I treat/manage with Alphosyl Shampoo but I have rarely had issues with my face. Please help. Thank you. H | Hi, Most probably the lesions over your face are that of seborrheic dermatitis only. The similar involvement of your scalp also supports the diagnosis. Though you can use a plain coal tar based shampoo, it would be more beneficial if you use a ketoconazole and coal tar based shampoo( for eg konaz ct). For your face lesions use a steroid anti fungal combination (like momoz t) twice in a day for a week. Hope that solves your query. Take care. |
sir, iam 34 female married with one sonmy skin was oily in my younger years but since a year or so i feel dry and sometimes itchy too. this year my skin feels real dry and itchy specially my cheeks and forehead . i have severe white heads and black heads too. iam using evion cream and how can this help me. does scrubbing help?? what else should i do? how should i treat my skin . please do help me!! which are the best products i can use for my skin day and night. | Hi, Use a mild face cleanser(like cetaphil)instead of regular soap and a moisturiser like (elovera/cetaphil/venusia/ efatop PE lotion etc) to hydrate your skin. Do not use hot water to wash your face as it robs off moisture from skin. Similarly do not scrub or exfoliate much. Get your whiteheads and blackheads extracted from a dermatologist and if the need be apply an anti acne cream (like treclin or nilac a etc ) over your blackhead/whitehead prone area to prevent further recurrence. Hope that answers your query. Take care. |
My upper lip is dry, rough, and itchy. Recently it has also been getting red. It has been like that on and off for almost a year now and I m not sure how to get rid of it. I ve tried anti-itch creams, aloe vera , petroleum jelly, etc. None of them seems to really moisturize it or get rid of it. I drink a lot of water and my diet consists of basically only fruits and veggies, so I m not sure what it is and how to get rid of it. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you! | Hi, Seems like you are having cheilitis(chapped lips). It could be due to frequent lip licking, cold weather, allergic condition, cosmetic induced,drug induced, nutritional, fungal infection, eczema etc. Use a fluticasone based cream along with a hydrating lip balm(neutrogena, blistex) over lips for few days. It will reduce dryness, itchiness and redness of your lips. Once you feel that your lips have become normal, stop fluticasone and continue with lip balm only. Use lip balms with good SPF.Continue with proper water intake and nutritious diet. Also do not forget to consult a dermatologist so that underlying cause of cheilitis could be elicited. Take care. |
I started having dry and itchy skin, and when it begins to itch it looks like theres another layer of skin on top of it and it has a pink pigmented color (this happens on some areas on both of my arms,hands, and around my eyes) and on my face the area around my mouth gets dry and itchy too but the color of it is blackish brown color | Hi Sara, The underlying cause for the pigmentation and itching of skin is extreme dryness. Use a good hydrating soap bar like cetaphil while bathing and apply moisturising lotion meant for very dry skin immediately after bath to lock in the moisture. Use a Luke warm water to bath as hot water rips of the moisture from skin. Moisturising lotions containing lactic acid or urea are good for dry skin. As your skin seems a bit sensitive too cetaphil restoraderm is a good choice as a moisturising lotion. Moisturise your skin twice in a day. If there is too much of itching or redness on face, mild steroid like fluticasone can be used for few days along with moisturisers. Once the proper skin hydration is achieved, treatment can be taken to reduce pigmentation. Take care. |

I wail wait for your reply u can also mail me at YYYY@YYYY . | Hi sumit, to make your skin fairer you can use a sunscreen while going out with an spf more than 30. Use a hydroquinone 4% cream during day time and 10% glycolic acid cream for 3 months and you will be fair. take care |
I have been taking champix for over a month now and have come up with a rash on my cheeks.It can be itchy and sore sometime and looks like little pimples .I rarely,if ever,get pimples on my cheeks.The skin on my cheeks, forehead ,hands and forearms has been very dry and no matter how much i moisturise,it doesn t seem to help.Would this be just a side effect or maybe an allergic reaction? | Hi , Thanks for writing in. You seem to have developed xerotic dermatitis. A good moisturizer with shea butter and and liquid paraffin will help you . A single daily application of betamethasone like steroid will also help. It can occur as a side effect of champix. A visit to dermatologist will help to confirm diagnosis and allow prescription medications. Take care. DrSudarshan MD Dermatology |
I am not sexually active (ignoring normal masturbation), I do not shave, wax, or use chemicals beside oatmeal and sheabutter bar soup on that vagina or anywhere serounding that region I do have a history of mild psoriasis on my arms and legs, but that s it. Keeping all that in mind, the crease between my upper thigh and where the vagina mound is very dry and has white flaky skin. I am not sure if I am just not cleaning properly or if I should consult my on/gyn? What could it be, and should I take it seriously? | The area mentioned by you is more prone to fungal infection but in view of history of psoriasis u need to consult a dermatologist as the treatment of both conditions are different Regards Dr amit |

Be in contact with your husband every 2 to 3 days after your periods stop. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks. Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that. Discuss with your doctor regarding this. The problem in pcos is with ovulation. So, you have to take medicines for ovulation. Bigomet alone will not help. Hope I have answered your question. Regards Dr khushboo |
I have this oval shaped dry flaky skin on my back. It ll start like a size of a pimple but it grows to the size of the tip of your pinky. I have like 2 on the right side of my back and 3 at the middle of my back. I started having this things last year. The other thing is that it doesn t get itchy. I m woundering if its due to dry skin , cause I dnt always use lotion. Or due to dandruff? Cause I have dandruff, but Ive never heard u can get dandruff on your back. I ve heard u can get it on your eyebrows, ears, and forehead .. Thank god I don t have dandruff anywhere besides my hair. Well anyways I really need some answers first before I go ahead and see my doctor. I want to know if I can cure this myself first. So thank you for taking your time and reading this:)) | Hello. Thanks for the query. From your description, there's a possibility of it being a fungal infection. Try to apply any anti fungal cream without steroids, about 5 to 6 times a day over the oval areas. Continue for about 10 days. There should be some improvement. If there is no change, you can consult a dermatologist. They will also suggest a suitable remedy for your dandruff.Dandruff also is commonly caused by a type of fungus and you will benefit by the use of a special medicated shampoo like selsun. Hope you are reassured. Bye |
I m 14 and I m slow behind on puberty , I know that s normal and it s not my question, just an fyi. I woke up this morning and looked in the mirror and noticed tiny black dots under my lip and at the side of my nose and on my nose. They are less than a milimeter in diameter and have not risen abouve the skin (Not bumpy). I have very dry skin and have never had acne spots before. Can you tell me what these dots are? please Also, there are about 15 of them in each place, not just one dot. A bunch. You can barely see them unless you look closely though. | Hi Jonathon, You might be having a combination skin(dry with oily t zone). To keep your skin well hydrated use a mild face wash and a moisturiser well suited to your skin type. The black spots that you have mentioned might be black heads. Comedones and acne are quite common in adolescence. So don't worry. You can get them extracted and can apply anti acne gel to prevent further occurrence( like application of adapalene gel at concerned areas in night). Hope that solves your query. Take care. |
patch of dry skin which is the shape and size of a nickel I have one patch of dry skin near pantie line which is the shape and size of a nickel on my butt. It s red with white flaky skin. it doesn t itch but i ve noticed it for two weeks now and it hasn t changed in appearance. my ankle and lower leg are swollen and remains that way. | Hi there, Regarding your first question,it could be Allergic or Irritant contact dermatitis and you need to see a doctor to have a live look and proceed further,but for now on you can apply white petroleum jelly on the patches. Secondly i am not sure that is the swelling in one or both the legs? It need a detailed history and discussion to clear things up and unfortunately its not a question answer session so you have to see your GP. I canot comment further cos of a very brief history i am afraid. THANKS VERY MUCH |
Hi. I have small circular patches of skin on my palms and feet that are skin color except around the edges where they are white and look dry. The centers of the circle are open, like a blister without pus that has popped. I m not sure that what is on my hands is the same thing that is on my feet. The circles on my feet are slightly deeper, smaller, and far greater in number. If you know what this might be please let me know! Thank you. | hi, you could be having a type of eczema known as pompholyx where one gets multiple tiny itchy deep seated fluid filled blisters that at times lead to peeling of skin. These are usually seasonal and occurs over palm and soles and also along side of fingers. You can apply a steroidal cream and a good moisturising cream. however, remember the correct diagnosis can only be made after proper analysis of your skin. Hope that answers your query. Take care. |
Hi Doctor, I m black, 48 yrs old and for many years now I ve had this dry flaky skin between my legs. This is on both legs on the skin are which effectively rubs with my testicles. I have always thought that it is due to the rub. If I scratch the are, it peels even more. It doesn t hurt. It is just not nice to look at. Lotion does not help. The whole are is actually lighter in color than the rest of my legs. Is this some sort of fungal infection? If so, what should I do? | Hi there, It seems like you are having Intertrigo ( inflammation of the skin in between the body folds due to friction ), once there is a break in the superficial layer of the skin then the Yeast which is the normal resident in the area due to moisture and heat favourable for them causes fungal infection. So I would suggest to apply Lamisil cream two times a day for 14 days. 2:Zeasorb Af Powder sprinkled in the groins to reduce further friction while having a walk for te same duration. I hope with above medications you ll feel much better. Thanks a lot and all the best. |
hello, I have really dry skin all over my arms, and shoulders. Recently noticed red dots on my stomach . My thighs have red patchy dry skin. Recently thought it may have been Scabies as I spent a summer living in the Canary Islands with friends. I have had treatment for scabies but my skin hasn t cleared and its been over a week. | Hi There, I can understand your concerns,but a picture of the affected areas would have been very helpful. As you have mentioned that you have already been treated for scabies with no help and also that you have very dry skin so two things that i can think of right now are Xerotic Eczema( a type of eczema which is related to a very dry skin) Allergic Contact Dermatitis and the allergen could be anything in the food,clothings,cosmetics or sometghing in the environment. So the bottom line is that you have to see your dermatologist or at least your GP so that he/she can examine you fully and asses you further. I hope you understand my position as i cant help you further with such a brief history and without seeing it is really hard to comment further. ALL the best and thanks very much. |
there is a spot on my lower lip that has been very dry, almost like sandpaper. it is slightly swollen and numb, like what it would feel like if there were a piece of tape just on that little spot. it does not hurt but it is uncomfortable. no matter how much exfoliation i do or how much chapstick i use, it has stayed there. i am concerned. | Hi, Probably it might be an infection from bacteria or fungus. It can also be due to some allergy. The spot needs to be examined by a dermatologist to find the exact cause. Try not to remove it by yourself, as it can get infected more. Also make sure you wash your hands, in case you are touching it. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards |
I am 24 Years old. Main 7 saal se Desval ER500 Le rahi hun. Because I have minor neurology Problem. Meri problem ye hai k mujhe kai saalo se hair fall hai. maine kai doctors se 1 month ka treatment lia. par sab temporary Results dete hai. I am healthy and fit. meri diet bhi acchi hai. Doctors se medicene ka puchA to wo kehte medicene se koi problem nai hai balki issme to iron hai ye to acchi hai hair fall k lie. now please doctor help me koi permanent solution batayie meri hair fall k lie | Hi Alka, You seem to be suffering from Telogen Effluvium. Its a kind of hair fall that occurs with stress, chronic illness and prolonged medicine use(desval can cause this kind of hair fall, infact most of the antiepileptics do.So no need to change the medicine). At times thyroid disorders and iron deficiency can also lead to this kind of hairfall. So get your thyroid profile and serum ferritin checked. In the meanwhile take a good high protein diet. Eggs, nuts, lean meats, sardines and salmon, soy products not only contain protein but also other hair friendly micronutrients. take a good oral biotin and selenium/ copper rich supplement. apply minoxidil lotion 2% twce in a day. You discontinued your doctors treatment after a month, just wanted to highlight one month is too short time to have results with any therapy. you can also discuss PRP., stem cell factor therapy with your dermatologist. Remember stress can also aid hair fall so try some mind calming activities to remain stress free. take care. |
during the start of winter season my face becomes dry and corner of mouth(that point where the upper and lower lips come together) becomes so so dry, after that color of that area changes from white to black and persist upto summer.... please suggest something to permanently cure this dryness... right now i am using Lobate-GM .. please suggest.... | hi, kindly do not use Lobate Gm as its too strong to be used for face and besides the cream is not meant to treat your particular condition. For your excessive dryness, use a mild soap free cleanser like cetaphil. Use a good moisturiser like cetaphil moisturising lotion or cetaphil restoraderm. At the corner of your mouth apply fluticasone cream twice daily till the cracks at the angle of your mouth disappear. Hope thtat treats your problem. Take care |
Hi, I have extremely dry feet and it itches a lot. I had a spot on my one feet since last 7-8 years which had dead skin (quite thick) and no matter what I apt, it remained the same. With time it started itching. 6 months back I had some white spots on my elbows and my doctor recommended hhsalic lotion for both feet and elbows.. Elbows are fine now but the feet are going extremely dry and itchy with some spots that look like blood clots. What should I do? | Hi, You may be suffering from psoriasiform dermatitis or psoriasis. For your feet, try frequent application of good emollients. Take antihistaminics to reduce itching. As the suspected disease come under the domain of dermatology. It will be good to consult a dermatologist. Regards, Dr. Ajit Singh MD - Skin & VD |
Pls help me ..I am 33yrs old and was pregnant last year but unfortunately it was missed abortion as the heart beat does not come ...Now i tried again taking lutrazole 2.5 mg tablets and done follicular studies also ..report are good ..but i did not conceive...now should i go for HSG test . | Hi, I think you should go for HSG test. After that you can try for 3 to 6 months naturally with letroz medicine. Track your follicles growth by repeated ultrasound and when your follicles is more than 17 to 18 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles. Be in contact with your husband every 2 to 3 days after your periods stop. It will increase chances of your pregnancy. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks. Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that. Hope I have answered your question. Regards Dr khushboo |

Sometimes presence of dandruff causes hair loss during bathing. You should follow some instructions. 1. Use antifungal shampoo half an hour before bath, followed by good shampoo during bathing followed by conditioner. 2. Do not use oil. 3. Bath everyday using adequate amount of water. Because you need to keep the scalp very much clean. 4. For smoothness try to do hair spa every month. 5. You can take Tab BIOTIN FORTE 10mg, twice daily for two months. 6. Avoid using hair gels. 7. Everyday clean the comb and the particular towel you use during bath. 8. Avoid using towel, comb, pillow of other persons. Diet- 1. Avoid fast food. 2. Fresh fruits, green vegetables , adequate amount of water. |
hello doctor, My name is aslam and i have dry skin by birth, since iam using Moisturex cream from the age of 10, now iam 28. As my age increases the price of moisturex also increases from 100gms-15Rupees to 50gms 135Rupees. For me it is best suited cream for my skin among all available moisturisers in the market.Kindly suggest is there a cure for dry skin, or any alternate for Moisturex cream | Hi aslam The price should not be the only reason to change - specially because - it is best suited as you say and you having been using for a long time. There is no obvious cure for the dry skin - what can not be cured has to be endured. There are a few similar creams or lotions - the basic constituent is propylene glycol... Each company adds some component like lactic acid, liquid paraffin and so on. Your dermatologist - at times any pharmacy - may offer alternatives / they can be similar - not the same / it will be a trail and error stating a new application In sha Allah, let your income increase to meed your demands! Good luck |
I have dry skin air pockets on my hands and feet . They don t itch , they don t hurt. It came on 4 years ago when my washing machine broke and I hand washed my clothes for about a year. the soap was very drying and contained a bleach product in it. Now I have been using udder cream and my hands have become soft but the dry skin bubbles are still there and the whenever I wash dishes for a long period of time they become more pronounced. My feet don t have much of these bubbles and I try to scrub the dry skin pocket off whenever get a pedicure , but they keep coming back in the same place. | Hello Welcome! I would be pleased to answer your question . From the description of the lesions they seem to be either a hand eczema or contact dermatitis. Which has become chronic at the moment . The Allergy can be due to external or internal allergic agent. The response to the agent results in an 'itch scratch cycle'. As in the more one scratches the more the area itches and so on. The first step in treatment is to break this cycle by giving relief from itching and instructing the patient to avoid scratching as much as possible. It can occur localised as in your case. Here is what will help: 1. Clobetasol propionate cream + Mupirocin cream: Mix and apply over the affected area on the right shoulder twice a day for 14 days then switch to Fluticasone propionate cream once at night for 2-4 weeks. In the groin/upper inner thigh use Fluticasone in place of Clobetasol from the beginning. The specialist to see will be a dermatologist and he or she can prescribe these for you. Nothing over the counter will help much, the only product with some benefit is 1% Cortizone cream. 2. Tab Claritin 10 mg twice a day for 14 days, then once a day for 6-8 weeks. Initially the dose can be increased to 2 tablets taken twice a day if there is insufficient relief in itching. 3. Sarna sensitive lotion can be used 2-3 times a day to give further relief from itching. This can be continued even when the above creams have been stopped. 4. Avoid scratching the affected areas as much as possible. This is most important. Whenever it is not bearable soak a towel in ice cold water and keep it on the affected areas or apply the Sarna sensitive lotion. Lastly keep the affected areas as well moisturized as possible with a moisturizer of your choice. NOTE: 1% Cortizone cream, Claritin and Sarna lotion can be bought without a prescription. Please feel free to ask if you have any queries. |

hi , I had to take an I pill ( morning after pill ) on the 19th of this month. on the 21st I developed dry skin on my face, today ( the 23rd) my face seems a lot better but i ve got a bit of dry skin on my abdomen . I normally don t have dry skin and i would like to know if this could have anything to do with me having taken the pill . thank you , Sarah | iHello itchyfleas, Morning after pill is a method of emergency contraception, there are many combinations of drugs available which are used for this purpose. This kind of drugs consist of hormones in different proportions which are normally secreted in body. So some drugs may cause skin dryness. It is normal and it will revert back on its own. Hope I explained your doubt BYe |

Hi I am from India and my sex is male.My face became dry and M not sure how it happens. Actually one month before my face is normal and oil secrection is also normal. But suddenly it became dry and looks so odd (little bit rough and skin looks like wrinkled). I use besam flour and green gram flour in equal quantity along with rose water and little quantity of ordinary water.i use to apply this product every 3 days on my face and it gave me good complection. I used it for more than 6 months and M not sure whether this is the cause for my dryness. I use Johnson & johnson baby soap for my face. Till last month every thing is going good but now :( . Please help me in this out. Thanks in advance. | Hi Vijay Thanks for writing in. I think prolonged use of gram and green flour has made your skin dry. Only use a mild soap on your face and apply a heavy moisturizer to help the skin become normal. You can mix 1-2 capsules of Evion capsules in your moisturizer. You will have to pierce these capsules with a pin and mix the liquid in your moisturizer. Drink plenty of water. This should become ok in a month. If you want to use a face mask, use only flour with milk or water. Nothing else is needed. hope this helps regards |
Hi there, this is the fourth time in about 8 months that this is happening. My skin from shoulders all the way down to about the knees go dry at first then it starts to scale off. This lasts for about three weeks until the entire area is peeled off and new skin forms. The insides of all my clothes are covered in dry skin but it is neither itchy nor red. Just very dry skin | Hh welcome to HCMForum. you are suffering with peeling of skin. but periodic recurance is confusing. it could be due to allergy to some of your things like dress powder or spray you use periodically before you get it.there is possibility of harmones imbalance. also make a list foods you have taken before you get the drying |
I have a rash on my abdomen . I m not sure if rash is the right word, because there are two distinct parts to it: one is a quarter-sized circular patch, the other is a 3 long streak. Both are uniformly bright red with no bumps or scales. They are mildly itchy but not painful. I ve done nothing out of the ordinary (no new clothes, foods, detergents, soaps) so I don t think it s an allergy . I ve had it for 3 days now and, with the exception of the affected skin getting dry, it hasn t changed much. Any idea what it could be? | Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The rash you have described could be due to eczema or an allergic dermatitis. Most of such minor rashes do improve spontaneously or on application of steroid based ointments. In case the rash is persistent, an examination by a dermatologist will be helpful. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.

Hello, doctor. I am a 23 year old Black male. I am 5 6 tall and weigh 135 pounds. A problem I ve had for a while is a sickly/ unpleasant facial appearance. My facial skin appears dry and rough. It doesn t look smooth and supple like that of other people my age. A few years ago, I was told by a doctor that I was borderline iron-deficient anemic. So, could that be a cause? To improve my appearance, I ve starting eating carrots because they re rich in Vitamin A, which I read is good for skin. I ve also starting taking iron supplements and Centrum Chewables. Will any of these actions I ve started to take help with my skin? | Hi, Thanks for writing in. It is true that iron deficiency anemia can make you look unhealthy but it should not typically be leading to the the complaints that you have. This is particularly so as you have only borderline iron deficiency. Further, to get the skin you want, I would suggest thee following: a. Have a healthy and balanced diet. Typically, your diet should have 50-55% carbohydrates, 15-25% protein and 20-30% fat. You should also be drinking 3-4 litres of water and be consuming 5-6 servings of vegetables in a day. b. Avoid junk food. It is unhealthy, makes you gain weight and is bad for your skin c. Try and consume 5-6 meals daily. Eat every 3-4 hours. Have an early dinner d. Exercise everyday for atleast 50 minutes. e. Sleep for 7-8 hours a day f. Wash your face twice a day with a soap free facewash. Always use a sunblock before stepping out. Please do not take iron supplements without seeing a physician. Then can damage the liver when taken in excessive amounts or over a long period of time. You can take Centrum but its more important to have a proper lifestyle in the long run |
I have rough dry patches on my knuckles. most of the times it is confined to the pinky finger knuckles but sometimes it is on my other if not all of the other knuckles. I also have very dry rough elbows. I put hand lotion on these areas all the time but it only helps for a short time. Is this a symptom of a larger condition or just a case of dry skin? | Hello. Thanks for writing to us. From your description, eczema seems to be a likely possibility. It is not a serious problem and most of the times a good massage daily with moisturising cream helps. You can use exfoliating creams also before taking a bath. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Rakhi Tayal [email protected] |

Hi, My name is Zahra Rehmani - 24 yrs old. I got married 4 months ago and recently diagnosed with L5 -s1, L3 - L4, slipped disc issues. I am also facing a problem in my neck C4 -C5-C6 some sought of cervical prob. My left leg is continuously numb for about a month now. I think that is because of the slight nerve root compression. I am planning to get pregnant soon. Will this effect my baby or my back? My backache is unbearable and I am on bed rest for abt 3 months now. Pls suggest | hi there, I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.I will suggest you to consult with an orthopaedic or spine surgeon first. Take medical treatment and proper physiotherapy, once the things are under control then plan for pregnancy.As pregnancy is condition associated with weight gain , calcium consumption and laxity of joints and ligaments,please be sure of getting your present condition treated before you plan to get pregnant.As such , your present condition will not have any effect on the baby. So do not worry about it. Please start with preconception doses of vitamin B 12 and Folic acid supplementation. This will help to prevent various complications during pregnancy and delivery.I hope this answer helps you.Thanks.Dr. Purushottam Neurgankar. |

hi doctor! what is the best medicine( tablet ) for ITCHING SKIN?because after i took and applied other(Cream) medicine then it will be Vanished and eventually it will come back again after a month! | Hello. Thanks for writing to us. Itchy skin can happen due to many causes like eczema, allergic dermatitis, scabies, etc. An examination from your dermatologist will confirm the diagnosis and will prescribe the drugs best for you. Many a times it has got a seasonal association also. Meanwhile you can apply calamine lotion and a steroid(cortisone) based antiseptic cream on the area for symptomatic relief. You can also take Benadryl or Actifed orally for the itching. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Praveen Tayal |
For several weeks, I had dry skin below the head of my penis on the top side. I don t typically use lotion when I masturbate and when my skin gets dry, this happens from time to time. I typically stop masturbating for a few days, lotion the spot, and allow it to heal. Last week, I was having sex with my girlfriend and afterwards, the dry skin cracked and, over the last week, has formed into 3 small open sores. I put a bandaid over it with antibiotic ointment and the bandaid choked off the air supply (and I am mildly allergic to the adhesive in the bandaids) and the skin turned white and the sores got slightly worse. Yesterday, I noticed 4 little tiny popped zits on the head of my penis. They weren t really painful but they did pop open. Today, I had 3 more single spots lower on the shaft of my penis. 2 of them are side by side and have dark centers. They almost look like a spider bite . I squeezed them and they popped and are sore now. I ve been treating this with a combination of neosporin and lotramin wrapped in gauze around my penis. I let it breath for a couple hours when I shower in the evening. I ve been with the same girl for quite a while and I don t suspect that she has anything. I m going to make an appointment with a doctor if it gets any worse. I m holding off because I don t have insurance and am unemployed. I start a new job soon but I am looking for some advice to hold me over until I can get to the clinic . Please advise? | hi, you might have a sexually transmitted disease. Kindly consult a urologist, or a dermatologist specializing in treating STDs. Keep the part dry and clean, apply simple cream (eg nivea) twice a day, dont apply antiseptic or other medicines till you consult your doctor. Also get your partner evaluated by a gynecologist as she may also get the same infection. Use protection till you recover. Take care. |

I don t really know what doctor to go to. | Hi welcome to H.C.M.Forum. your problem appears to be fungal infection. it is a commen infection of tinea group effecting majarity. i advise you to consult a skin specialist for diagnosis |

Take plenty of water for hydration. while going out use full sleeved clothes. |

I have severe dry skin problem. My legs, buttocks and hand(below the elbow ) appears like scale on fish , like a root pattern. they are itchy too.... my face is a combination of dry and very oily (nose n forehead )... this is disturbing my social life very much.. l want to get rid of these scaly and flaky skin on legs , buttock and hands . is there any permanent solution for this ??? | Hello Rajmurali, Thanks for posting your query. From your description you seem to be having a condition known as Icthyosis. It is important to know if you've had this since childhood or has it appeared recently? It is best if you are seen by a dermatologist who can confirm the diagnosis and rule out other skin conditions like psoriasis which may also present a similar picture. In the meanwhile you can take the following skin care measures. Use moisturising creams imeediately after bath. Apply two to three times and see that the skin doesn't get dry. If there are any cracks or cuts in the skin you can use over the counter antibiotic creams. keep the skin clean. Skin conditions to improve need regular treatment, so continue with the treatment that your dermatologist prescribes. He will prescribe creams containing urea and steroids. Hope you get well soon. Regards Dr. Lavinia |

hi doctors.. I am a 14 years old female, and i think i might have some skin problems . i have a few of red dots on my legs and thighs. they do not itch or hurt. most of them are flat and only some of them are raised, and only a little. the dots are about this big -- *. some of them are visible and some are not, but they are red. they are not pimples and i do not have pimples (on my face or anywhere). my parents do not have them. by the way, i have really dry skin , and there are times where i m too lazy to apply lotion or creme. is that the cause of the red dots ? - my legs are not like covered entirely by the dots, there are about 10 - 20 on each leg. i had them since i was about 10, they don t bother me then but it does bother me now. it s winter/spring now and i really want them to go away because it s almost summar. so can you tell me what are the dots on my legs and why i have them, and also how to cure them. | Hi dear, Welcome to Healthcaremagic! You are probably suffering from a condition known as keratosis pilaris. In this, hair grows in skin & may cause red marks as described by you. Clinical pictures would have been useful. You may Ist start using some oil like coconut oil or olive oil on affected areas as you have a dry skin. You may also use Retino A 0.05% cream locally at night ONLY. Good luck. |

hi, after giving birth my skin is sooo dry all over my body. tried lotion for weeks and no change, still dry makes me feel 10 years older | I have the same thing, and my midwife said it's because my estrogen levels are low after the baby is born.

She said to use lots of lotion, stay hydrated, and try adding flaxseed or foods with omega-3's in my diet. |

for i have a very annoying ichy chest and shoulder get it every year sometimes i scratch to much that i make my skin very dry and can start to bleed now my 16month old daughter gets it to does it sound like a heat rash have tried different creams but they dont help... im 32 years old and female with a 16month old daughter for the past 4 years ive been very ichy across my sholder and chest i scratch all the time and end up with little spots and a red rash which drives me mad more so when im in bed. My 16 month old daughter now has started getting the same rash and scatches across her shoulder and chest, Have tried e45 cream and a few other creams but they seem to make it worse. thought it could be due to suffering with hot flushes any ideas | Thanks for the query It is difficult to diagnose without seeing the rash. How long have you had it? You dont complain of fever so it rules out infection but again if it is an allergy then your daughter would not have got it. For now get yourself a cbc with Absolute easinophil count done. Take an anti histaminic like levocetrizine and apply calamine lotion to soothen the itching. Have a halthy living |

I ve been using a certain moisturizer on my face for over a year now. Seems like when I run out of it for a few days, I skin gets a bumpy texture. By the way, my skin is dry without the moisturizer But before using this moisturizer ever, I ve never had any skin problems on my face. So when I start using this again, the bumps go away. some bumps around my mouth and nose look like pockets of oil. The rest of the bumps, even on my eyelids , just look like like raised skin, and they are on every milliliter of my skin, no smooth skin to be seen. Looks even worse in the sunlight. Someone help me. | Hi, Thanks for query, Wash your face with good face wash 3-4 times in a day. Use branded moisturizing lotion containing vit E. Avoid constipation, Take plenty of water. Take green veggies and fresh fruits. Avoid stress and tension. Ok and bye. |
