The infection, if left untreated, can spread and turn into rough, coarse sores which may take a long time to heal.
The Staphylococcus aureus bacteria responsible for causing the infection leads to this commonplace condition. In some cases, f...more

Asked for female, 31 years old from Kochi

I am 31 years female. I have folliculitis on body as well as on scalp. Its not severe. Recently I had severe folliculitis on scalp for which I used tropical ointment and it was cleared. But time to time I get 1 or 2 pimple like bumps on my scalp. I want to color my hair as I have a lot of gray hairs. My question is: Can I color my hair without any complications while having recurring folliculitis?

It is difficult to tell how much this lotion is useful for the condition! I suppose whole body skin is not dry. If it is so consult either pediatrician or skin specialist. Otherwise you may use white petroleum jelly ie vasiline.

Asked for female, 45 years old from Mumbai

I have started using tretinoin 0.5 a month back. I use it every alternate night followed by a thick moisturizer. However, I have started noticing peeling on my forehead and nose area. Should I stop using it? What needs to be done? Please advice.

Dr. Sejal Chandak Khandelwal91%(58 ratings)

Dermatologist•Nagpur

Hi
tretinoin 0.5%is a strong retinoid and it can cause peeling in some. However, it is the first and best topical cream indicated for acne. I suggest to shift to a lower percentage of retinoids like 0.025%percent and apply moisturizer before and after it. And avoid facewash for 3 days to settle your skin.

Asked for Female, 22 years old from abuja

I am 22 years old since I started menstruating its always been irregular, iâm not a virgin and I thought this would change when I start having sex, but its been the same. Most times I menstruate consecutively for 5 months and it doesât show up in the remaining months and vice versa. Other times I skip a month or two till the end of the year. My major concern right now is that I'm naturally a hairy person and have hairs all over my body. I had vellus hair on my face and I had to wax them, but it hurts badlyâ¦i switched to hair removal creams which I've been using for the past 4 years and my hair has become thick now and grown within a space of 2 daysâ¦i have stopped the use of depilatoriesâ¦i just started using dermaplaner and an ipl I got, but iâve not seen any positive result because my hairs grow really fastâ¦iâd like to know if thereâs anything I can do to stop the hair growth.

You can apply aloe vera juice/gel from its leaf (fresh, not from readymade
