Question 1

how can i cure my bacne problem? the condition did not improve despite using dettol and qv body wash. it got worsen when applying lotion to it. help!

Accepted Answer

Body acne: can be difficult to treat if it is widespread or difficult to reach for application of topical acne products (available over the counter).  Avoiding harsh or fragrances soaps will help reduce inflammation, but severe cases are sometimes treated with oral medications (Rx).

Question 2

do i have to wash calamine lotion off after applying it ? i have many small acnes on my back

Accepted Answer

Calamine lotion: Calamine is used to help with itching associated with topical allergies, insect bites and such.  The medication is effective for around 3-6 hours after application.  It is recommended you remove it after that time to avoid dryness and pluging of your pores if you have tendency to have acne in the area you applied it.

Question 3

using permethrin 5% lotion now & washing bed sheets, will they get infested again tonight? do i have to wash them again tomorrow?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely a problem: The Permethrin will kill the mites rather quickly and treated individuals are not considered contagious after 8 hours. The skin disruption may take weeks to fade because that takes more time.  I would not worry about reinfection from your sheets.

Question 4

would you recommend panoxly face wash or lotion for acne?

Accepted Answer

: For treatment of typical acne, over-the-counter 2.5% benzoyl peroxide gel or cream can be quite helpful. An "acne wash" is not needed. If desired, a doctor can add an antibiotic gel or cream such as clindamycin gel. If more help is needed, prescription retinoids such as Retin-A or Differin gel may be used instead of benzoyl peroxide. It can take 3 weeks to 3 months in order to see improvements.

Question 5

would you recommend panolxy face wash for acne, or the lotion?

Accepted Answer

: One is as good as the other. Good Luck

Question 6

what body wash/lotion do you recommend for dry itchy skin?? :) preferably brands i can find in australia

Accepted Answer

Neither. Eucerin: cream if you can find it. Lotions are drying to the skin.

Question 7

itchy after water contact, especially showers. it disappears for months and comes back. any season, i use medicated lotion to moisturize. whats wrong?

Accepted Answer

Pruritus: It may be associated with the medicated shampoo or it could also be associated with something you eat prior to shampooing.I would  try an non medicated shampoo and watch what you eat prior  to rhe onset of the itch.

Question 8

doctor prescribd me halox lotion bt i dunno how to use it 
how many tims in a day
it is aplied in particulr area or whole?
and hair wash after applyin

Accepted Answer

Halox lotion: halox is a corticosteroid lotion and best used for the particular areas where you are having a rash or problem with your skin.  It should not be used in areas not affected by the condition and probably once a day is sufficient.  I would not wash the area off for at least 3-4 hours otherwise the lotion will not work effectively.

Question 9

dermatology i use prescription wash, aczone & climacin (?) on face. is it ok to use skin lotions & when/type, besides spf? i'm 48 fair/sensitive skin. thx

Accepted Answer

Definitely.: You are wise to use some type of light daily moisturizer, and your spf (which it sounds as though you already do)! i like the cetaphil and cerave face lotions, some contain spf so you can essentially treat things with one product. I also love the skinmedica line because you can customize your moisturizer to the time of year--lighter in summer and heavier in the winter.

Question 10

what body products such as soaps, body wash, lotions, oils and or natural ingredients works best for someone with hsv-1? ( use on the skin and help the skin and or sores?

Accepted Answer

: None of these have any benefit in treating herpes, regardless of HSV type.
