Dermi 5 Cream used for

I have noticed a large dark spot on my heel recently. It s not painful, it s not difficult to walk or stand but I do not remember to have had any trauma to cause it. I spend a lot of time standing cause of my work but that has never been a problem. Can this be melanoma or some other kind of serious disease. Im not sure if this is related but I have had a low grade fever everyday since I had covid a year ago. All my blood tests came back fine except a very mild uti which im treating with cyperus.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Black heel (calcaneal petechiae) is caused by a repeated lateral shearing force of the epidermis sliding over the rete pegs of the papillary dermis. This damages the delicate papillary dermal capillaries, resulting in intraepidermal hemorrhage.

I under greed, ate an entire sunny side up egg right off the pan. It was so hot that a small part (about a centimetre) of my left cheek burnt and is now white in colour. Skin is not coming off, it has just gotten thick white. How should I stop such habit? How can I avoid long term complications like cancer?

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Third-degree burns (full thickness burns) go through the dermis and affect deeper tissues. They result in white or blackened, charred skin that may be numb. Fourth-degree burns go even deeper than third-degree burns and can affect your muscles and bones.

Does tetanus bacteria only enter through blood or it can also enter through dermis of the skin (minor abrasion)? My mother while cleaning got a minor abrasion but no blood, does she require tetanus vaccine (she took last vaccine in 2020 [can't remember the date & month])?

The likelihood of tetanus is greatest following deep, dirty puncture wounds where there is little bleeding and an absence of oxygen. In this case no need of tet vac in my opinion.

Tinea cruris is same as dermatophytosis. Please stop using those creams before it causes permanent damage to the skin. You may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs, groin and buttocks area. It is also called jock itch. It can be treated by taking four to six weeks of anti fungal treatment which includes tablets along with creams. Do not use soap over that area. Mistreatment with over the counter steroid containing creams like fourderm, panderm, quadriderm, dermi5, cloben g betnovate, dermikem oc, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams. Please contact me using online consult option with photos for detailed prescription. Do not delay treatment as it may spread further on your body and also to other people living in the household.

Hello- phimosis (tight foreskin) is caused by an infection and high blood sugar levels as a result of diabetes may provide a breeding ground for infection. An acute case of phimosis may create problems for the person when he would want to pass urine or to perform sex, as this action may either be restricted or become troublesome. This is when phimosis becomes a medical emergency. It has been linked with an increased risk of infection, loss of sexual stimulation of the penis and even penis cancer. Traditionally medicine offers conservative treatment of phimosis. It is worth noting that in recent years, medicine has made great progress in this field. So, if you looking for a permanent solution for your tight foreskin, yes it is possible with ayurveda. Surgery (circumcision) can be avoided.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. The two most notable and well documented side effects of co2 laser resurfacing are scarring and delayed onset hypopigmentation. Tissue ablation and thermal coagulation of the dermis are thought to drive the robust dermal remodeling that translates into clinical improvement following co2 laser resurfacing. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Ipl therapy is a type of non-ablative (fractional) laser treatment. Also known as a photofacial, ipl therapy stimulates collagen growth within the dermis. It usually requires multiple sessions. Ipl is used for overall pigmentation issues, but flat spots especially respond to this treatment. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
