Question 1

would it be acceptable to apply moisturizer on top of acne medication?

Accepted Answer

Acne and moisture: Yes, it is usually ok to apply a moisturizer after an acne medication--especially if it dries you out.  Let the medication dry, then apply your moisturizer.

Question 2

i am suffering from eczema.i am on medication which includes an anti-allergy10mg;a sunscreen50spf\u0026#41;,momate cream and a moisturizer,pacroma cream. still no change.help!

Accepted Answer

Eczema: You need to keep irritants to a minimum. Use only sensitive skin products. No fragrance or dye. Find something to stop the itch, like Benadryl, (diphenhydramine) Claritin or Zyrtec. Eczema gets worse if it's constantly being scratched. Also try a bleach bath. 1 cup bleach, in a full tub of water. Try this weekly. If no improvement, have it rechecked.

Question 3

should i put acne medication on my face or moisturizer on first?

Accepted Answer

Medication: After the application of the topical acne medication, apply the moisturizer.

Question 4

after excessive use of corticoids, glans turned white and without sensitivity. my uro recommended moisturizing with bepantol toque seco, but the improvement over the months is almost 0. is there another medication/moisturizer better for my situation?

Accepted Answer

: The use of corticosteroid ointment or cream causes some atrophy of tissue. Was the steroid prescribed to treat severe itchiness or for lichen sclerosus which itself causes the tissue to eventually turn white? I recommend consulting a dermatologist for evaluation and  advice.

Question 5

what is the best natural drug store oil free face moisturizer to use?

Accepted Answer

HealthTap: doesn't really advocate the use of any particular product. You might ask the pharmacist. Good luck.

Question 6

i had a epidermoid cyst removed via minimal excision plus cellulitis. the area is healing but there is dry peeling skin on wound and around it where bandage was. can i put moisturizer on it or should leave it alone? it itches a little?

Accepted Answer

Timing: Itching is a sign of healing. Would not put anything on skin till wound is at least 5-7 days old other than gentle cleaning to remove dry skin. Once that time has passed can use skin lotion or Vitamin E but still not directly on wound. Vitamin C 500mg a day, Vitamin D 2000 units per day and Zinc 30mg a day all help wound healing.

Question 7

my skin becomes dry after i wash my face. i apply "boro plus" cream. can i apply sunscreen after applying a moisturizer ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Many people apply sunscreen after using a moisturizer.  In fact, some sunscreens are moisturizing by design, and may help you eliminate one step.

Question 8

i had a drug allergy, i developed skin atrophy from oral steroids prednisone and it would burn from normal moisturizers the moisturizer gets stuck on?

Accepted Answer

Question?: Vitamin a and/or other oral or topical retinoids may help.

Question 9

can you use eucerin and fluocinonde simulataneously?

Accepted Answer

Topical Medications: Eucerin is a moisturizer and flucinonide is a topical steroid. Both of theses topical medications can be used together.

Question 10

i have to apply eucerin lotion all over my body multiple times per day for my ecszma. is this safe? can to much lotion cause overdose symptoms?

Accepted Answer

No: Your dry skin demands this moisturization
the eucerin only penetrates so far into the skin
