Accepted Answer

No: Red skin is never normal . It could be irritation from the topicals or worsening of her condition. She needs reevaluation.

Question 2

i have been suffering from dark patches on my back and bug bites.. also my skin looks dull is there a medication to remove those patches?

Time: These patches usually fade away or lighten significantly with time as long as you are not irritating them. A bleaching cream containing several ingredients may also hasten the fading but it is not inexpensive. For even more expensive option, intense pulse light or laser may be considered.

Question 3

im currently on isotretinoin and have been for 4.5 months. my skin is now completely clear and has been for 5 weeks. would id be safe to stop the medication now and if so whats the best way to do it? slowy wein off?

Accepted Answer

: You probably should ask your dermatologist if it is now ok to stop this medication and, if so, how to stop it. Your dermatologist knows you the best clinically and knows your skin condition the best-what skin condition is being treated, how severe it was, etc. Without knowing these details, it is very difficult to offer this type of guidance. So, call your dermatologist for your next steps.

Accepted Answer

Doctor can check: Rashes and spots are difficult to describe in words. Generalized spots may be part of an allergic reaction or an infection. "Generalized" means the rash is all over the body. Bluish or purplish spot may be blood spots and may need blood testing. Sometimes, spots have unknown causes. A primary care doctor can examine both the rash and the child, to get a diagnosis and offer treatment.

Question 7

what is the best medication for skin whitening?

Accepted Answer

Sunblock moisturizer: Many people use over-the-counter moisturizers that contain sunscreen. Avoiding exposure to the sun will let skin lighten up. However, one should take extra vitamin d to make up for not getting vitamin d from the sun. Although having tanned skin from sun exposure is not a medical illness, there are a few uncommon hormonal medical conditions that can cause skin darkening.

Accepted Answer

Some basics: Skin issues generally require a direct in person exam to begin any treatment program along with the education needed to comply. This public site offers general advice on health issues. It does not offer diagnosis or treatments. Doctors who treat without a patient relationship, exam and records can lose or have their license restricted. This may seem minor to you but it is not.
