My last period date is 12 february and I did not get periods in march so I did urine test on 17 march which was positive. I took mifepristone on 18 march and did not get bleed. After 48 hours, on 20 march I took dose of misoprostol and got normal bleeding like my normal periods, but did not exfoliate any conception products or clots during bleeding. I have done ultrasound on 23rd march and there is nothing conception products in my uterus. I want to know that there is no need of worry for me or not?

Asked for female, 27 years old from Thrissur

How long will it take for a chemical burn from a peeling solution with 30% aha and 2% bha to appear on your face. I am a 27 years old female and a dermatologist just recently told me that I should not use retinol 0.1% or chemical exfoliate such as aha or bha on my skin and that it is bad for my skin. My skin type is normal to dry. She also told me these are to be used only with a doctors prescription and not over the counter. Could please enlighten me over this.

Otc peel are bad for skin. And your dermatologist is right. Over the counter peel and such formulations can lead to significant burns and scars depending upon the skin. Listen to your dermatologist. Peels are not for all skin types and should always be done by dr's prescription.

I've been trying to lighten my dark elbows for a long time. I've used labidjanaise, bamakoise, carowhite, h20 hours, lightenup and nothing works. I bought pigment doux 5 days whitening milk and i've been using it for 3 weeks now and my elbows are still dark. I exfoliate my elbows everyday with like papaya soap. It is not working. I have a feeling that my elbows aren't able to lighten. Could this be a medical problem? Please help. What do I do?

Cut a large lemon in half. Squeeze out some of the juice from both halves so that you have two hollow halves or "cups. Apply this on joint. You can rub away any excess pulp, but don't wash your for about 3 hours. Wash off the lemon juice with some warm water. Repeat this every day until the dark skin begins to fade.

Actually most of the Moisturizer contain such (citric acid) strong ingredients in very very small amount which doesn't cause exfoliation but still to be very safe side (specially when already a dry season winter has started) I would not advice using all three together. Preferably stop face scrub & occasionally use mask.

Asked for Female, 48 years old from Mumbai

I had used veet I guess which was a bit yellow in colour last week over my vagina. It could not remove any hair so I used a scissor to shorten the hair. Since then my vagina has got boils or bumps kind of thing which is all over my vagina and it is hurting a lot. I did not consult any doctor yet but I had put 2 whole tubes of soframycin all over my vagina and I thought it was healing as I could see exfoliated skin. But when water is put on that area it hurts a lot. To day when I took bath I couldn't control the pain it caused. I was in tears and I don't know what has caused this. Please response as soon as possible.

Hello, hair removal creams are not good for sensitive genital skin. You seem to have mild reaction to it like burns due to the chemicals. Do not worry it will heal in 4-5 days on its own. Apply the antibiotic cream and keep the area clean and dry. If it persists beyond a wk consult a dermatologist.

Clean-up or face cleansing is extremely important to maintain a healthy and glowing complexion. A regular clean-up will help in getting rid of dead skin cells, debris, dirt, and excess oil and sweat. Moreover, it will keep the skin hydrated for a long time
Just put some olive oil on a cotton pad and gently massage the oil onto your face to get rid of the makeup and dirt. Don't: Forget that exfoliation is indispensable. At least once or twice a week, exfoliate your skin to remove the layers o...more

Asked for male, 31 years old from Bhiwadi

Hi, I am 31 years old. I get facial done once in a month. Exfoliate once in a while. I eat watery fruits like watermelon and can notaloupe almost daily. Avoid sugar in general and salt (after 8 pm). Can I take any supplements or apply any cream to improve the texture of my skin and even tone it. I'm already taking iso-tretinoin on alternate days to get rid of pimples. This treatment is in last phase now. My daily skin care routine is applying rosewater immediately after bathing, then I apply aziderm 20 on pimple scars, then moisturize with cetaphil and then apply sunscreen (across). May I also know if I can add retinol in my daily routine to brighten and lighten skin tone and avoid fine lines. If yes, which one is the best and how to apply it?

This all natural honey lemon mask is great for all skin types including sensitive skin. I have used it twice so far and I am really liking the results! so of course I had to share! benefits of the honey lemon mask: - clears acne - gentle cleansing agent - dries out pimple - minimizes pore size - smooths skin - reduces redness and instantly soothes irritation - makes skin glow - relieves dryness and even flaking - honey is a humectant so it hydrates skin - brightens skin - evens out skin tone (due to sun damage or blemishes) and helps scarring - the bacteria cannot live in an environment covered in honey; due to honeys antiseptic qualities ingredients: - 1/2 of a real lemon or a few drops of lemon oil (it has the same effect) - 2 teaspoons of honey (manuka honey has higher antibacterial properties, but regular honey is fine too). Directions: squeeze 1/2 of the lemon into a bowl, mix in honey and stir until its like cough syrup. Apply mask to freshly cleansed face, make sure you don? t exfoliate your skin before adding this mask because the lemon juice can make it sting. Let the mask sit for about 20 minutes, and try not to talk. Rinse off with cold water (helps close pores) and pat dry your face. You can do this every morning or every night. Apply a good moisturizer afterwards. Give it some time to see results. Is it real mask? we can apply r not?
