My mother in law has extremely dark and dry skin around her foot. Is there a way to treat this?
Dark and itchy skin around ankles, feet associated with edema could be a frequent condition named stasis dermatitis. It is impossible though to be sure of the diagnosis and treatment without proper physical assessment. Stasis dermatitis is usually treated with short term corticosteroids and swelling control but the discoloration can persist even with proper treatment. She has to be very cautious before applying any medicated cream as this condition is often associated with a higher risk of allergy. I really encourage her to see a doctor as several parameters need to be evaluated before planning a proper treatment. READ MORE
What SPF in sunscreen is ideal for baby's skin?
I am glad your daughter has the opportunity to swim, but it is extremely important to protect her skin against sunburn at this age to prevent cancer later in life. I see to many of them that could have been prevented. The ideal combination would be to wear some protective clothing specially designed for swimming and sunscreen on uncovered areas. I often recommend physical sunscreen for kids who have very sensitive skin and whatever the type of sunscreen you use, you should apply it 20 min before sun exposure. I cannot recommend a specific brand, but you have to be careful as some cheap brands and some natural sunscreens also give a false sense of safety. The technology for a good sunscreen is quite complex and a cheaper version might not protect her. Also, some natural sunscreen have plants that have anti-inflammatory properties so the skin does not turn red, but the sun rays still penetrate the skin and cause damage. Dr. Coulibaly READ MORE
Are acne marks permanent?
I am sorry to hear that you are left with scars. Some scars tend to disappear better than others. The ice pick scar can be quite difficult to treat. The first step is to treat the acne to prevent new scars, then, eventually, treat scars. You should see a general practitioner or a dermatologist to decide which treatment would be best for your type of acne. READ MORE
