: You should see a dermatologist to have this examined so a diagnosis can be made. Then, you can start a treatment that will hopefully get rid of these patches. If they recur, you will have a treatment that is effective. Best of luck to you!

Accepted Answer

You might consider..: Microneedling is the process where small needles are used to penetrate the epidermis and the dermis, creating micro pores that allow deeper application of certain topical medications, such as lightening agents. Some patients have had good results with evening out skin tone, reduction of fine lines/wrinkles, and even improvement of scars and stretch marks.

Question 3

i have a small patch of bumpy skin on my face. the bumps are not red, nor do they itch or hurt. is this just dry skin? or maybe acne?

Accepted Answer

Facial lesions: Bumps on the face could be multiple things. Acne will turn red eventually. Eczema (associated with dry skin) can result in bumps that may or may not itch. A fungal infection would gradually spread and may not itch. If the bumps have a small central pit it could be a benign infection called Molluscum that resolves over time. Using steroids like hydrocortisone will worsen a fungal infection.

Question 4

i have a small red patch of dry skin below one eye. i have never had dry skin or rashes on my face; should i have this checked out or wait for a bit?

Accepted Answer

Rash: May represent several things from seborheic dermatitis to rosacea to skin sensitivity or contact dermatitis due makeup. Yes see physician. Can't make diagnosis w/ o picture or seeing rash and whether other clues like dandruff(scales) on eyelids, eyebrows or other clues. Simple until see dr. Use cerave facial wash, and cream. Safe. Over counter.

my2month old baby had baby acne that started2weeks ago.red pimples all over face. i seen the paed a week ago.i was give eucerin aquapor which worked wonders for the pimples an dry skin but now she has been getting patches on her face.what do i do?

Accepted Answer

Patience: Baby acne is a common and temporary  problem.It usually appears by age 2 weeks and disappears by 3 months. Keeping the skin clean is the major plan. If it persists after 3 months and or intensifies, some normal ace treatments can be beneficial, but the doc should look into unusual hormonal issues as a cause at that point.

Question 8

TO BE SEEN: It is important for a doctor to see and examine a patient to get the whole picture. I would see a physician. Even if it is you would need an rx for treatment.

Question 9

is my dry skin and face redness due to cutting my hypothyroidism medication (levothyroxine) in half and is it serious?

Accepted Answer

Hard to know: The skin condition you are dealing with may or may not have anything to do with your thyroid meds. Increasing/decreasing these meds is best guided by blood test that shows your level of control. If cutting the med is part of such efforts a followup blood test after a month or so should show whether this could contribute to any issue or be just what you need.

Question 10

what should i do about my face? i have redness all over, and dry skin on my cheeks, around my nose, and my forehead.i've tried to moisterize my face about every half hour. if i put anykind of lotion on it, it just keeps burning.

Accepted Answer

Perhaps : Perhaps you have seborrheic dermatitis?  This is a common condition this time of year and if typically found on the scalp or face.  On the face, it is seen as red, scaly areas on the forehead, between the eyebrows (or on the middle part of the eyebrows), and beside the nose.  Typical treatment would be Ketoconazole Cream and/or desonide cream which can prescribed by a dermatologist.  Otc options might include Cortaid (hydrocortisone) which can help some patients.  I hope this helps!
