What triggers red rashes on my face?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your problem. But you did not mention for how long did you apply Mometasone Furoate cream. All your symptoms match with rosacea. However, it can also be steroid induced skin atrophy if you have used the cream for a longer time.

Kindly suggest some medicine to get rid of ringworm infection.

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. From my professional opinion, it looks like tinea with secondary eczematization, or in simple words fungal infection with skin damage due to rubbing. One advice is please do not rub. I understand it can be difficult but try.

Why did my mole grow back after excision?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have read your query. I understand your complaint and have gone through the photos (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Any nevus is a collection of melanocytes that can multiply rapidly. Hence, even if a small section is left, it can potentially regrow.

Could my cheek spot be lupus, or is it due to sun damage?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I went through your images (the attachments removed to protect the patient's identity). Since you are a very fair-skinned patient, you are naturally more exposed to sun radiation, which is UV-A and UV-B (ultraviolet A and B) rays. In effect, what it does is disrupt the self-healing power of your skin and make you more vulnerable to sun damage. The damage accumulates over time, and the net result is skin changes along with the symptoms you described in your questionnaire.

How to get rid of oily skin?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. The darker skin tone can be attributed to tanning and also ones natural color. I therefore recommend you daily sunscreen, use it 20 minutes prior to going outside. Using a night cream like ISIS Neotone night serum everyday at night for two to three months will help, but you need to be regular. For additional skin whitening, you require skin treatment like skin whitening chemical peels and laser sessions to be honest.

Why do I have dark circles after a warm compress?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I can understand that there has been damage to the skin. White spots on the right side of the right side are called miliaria crystallina. In simple terms, it is the enlargement and plugging of the sweat glands. You will need to go to a dermatologist to have a needle removed to remove the plugs or blockages.

How do I manage my acne marks and sticky, flaky dandruff?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. You have been following all the right advice. Continue the same for the face. As for the scalp, I think since it does not get resolved with antidandruff medication and there is crusting involved, my diagnosis would go in favor of scalp psoriasis. However, I cannot guarantee it before a personal examination.

Should we opt for surgery for my daughter's vitiligo patch?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I appreciate you going at length in explaining me the exact medicine regimen. You are well in time and not late, so do not worry. I normally give tablet Azathioprine taking into consideration the weight factor. After the stabilization has been achieved in about a couple of months, I advise PUVA (photochemotherapy) or Excimer light for a minor patch.

How can I stop 20-year-old brown spots from spreading?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern, and I have seen the images (attachment removed to protect patient identity). The triggers include sunlight or harsh irritant chemicals. Skinlite has Hydroquinone, which is more than sufficient to mask any pigmentation but not cure it completely. From the symptoms, I strongly feel it is lichen planus pigmentosus or ashy dermatosis of Ramirez.
