Accepted Answer

Folliculitis: inflamed  or infected hair follicles usually from contaminated tweezers. I suggest boiling your tweezers and after cooling down, wipe with rubbing alcohol: do this a least weekly. Use 1% OTC hydrocortisone cream on the reddened areas; however, if pus forms, you will need antibiotics.

Question 9

i know that my facial hair was causing me to have acne and bumps.so i got rid of them.after my bumps disappear black spots are left.why?

Accepted Answer

May be comedones: Acne is caused by skin pores being plugged by tiny clumps of skin cells (the clump of cells is called a comedone). When there are no bumps or actual pimples and pustules, the acne-prone areas of skin will still have plugged pores. Maybe the black spots are actually the comedones in the skin pores. The best way to tell is to have a primary care doctor look at the spots.

Accepted Answer

Endocrinologist: Your symptoms suggest an endocrine disorder and you should consult an endocrinologist. You may start with a gynecologist as poly-cystic ovarian disease can produce similar symptoms.
