Sun Tanning |
| | Hi,
My question is regarding dangers of sun tanning. Before I start I'd like to say that I have a Mediterranean/Middle eastern skin. I used to live in Iran until I was 15 (so had a lot of exposure to sun light) but now live in UK.
My skin has lost a lot of colour since I moved to uk, and I would like to get the previous shade back. I don't like self tanning lotions because they are messy, sticky and if I forget to put it on for a day my skin looks streaky the next day. So I'd really like to use sun tanning, but I have heard a lot regarding dangers of sun tanning. I was wondering if this is only true for people with fair skin? Or would I be able to get sun tanned with reduced danger if I use low SPF products?
Many thanks. |

Black Spots On Penis? |
| | Dear Doc, I've noticed some small barely visible black dots near the tip/opening of my penis. I make sure to keep clean down there, but I'm not sure what they are. When I'm in the shower, and I stretch the skin, they have a more bubble like appearance, but none of them are turning red. Do I need to go in for a visit, or are they just clogged pores? Thanks for your help. |

Obagi Tretinoin Vs. AHAs |
| | Hello,
I have been suffering from acne for over 12 years, and I am now 24. I have finally found a skincare regimen which has helped dramatically, that is NeoStrata' s AHA range, and I am now using a 20% AHA cream every evening. However, while the acne is almost entirely gone (there is still a few stubborn blackheads and whiteheads left, but no more pimples), it has left hyperpigmentation marks and very shallow scars. I know that one of the biggest advantages of Obagi Tretinoin, when compared to AHA products is that it actually boosts collagen production and works deep in the skin at cellular level. I was therefore wondering whether I would be a good candidate for Obagi Tretinoin cream, as it could help with pigmentation and scars? Also, if I indeed would benefit from switching over from Neostrata 20%AHA to Obagi Tretinoin, should I respect a delay between the moment I finish AHAs and start over with the Tretinoin, or could I just follow on with it immediately? And also, what tretinoin concentration should I start with, as my skin is already resistant to high concentration of AHAs?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Sincerely,
Marilyse B. |

Accutane Side Effect |
| | Hello Doctor
I am extremely concerned about the possible effects of Accutane on my growth (height)
When I was 15 I took Accutane to cure my acne for approximately a little over 6 months. I started off taking the drug at .05 mg per kg for the first month, 2/3mg per kg for the next 2 months, and subsequently took 1mg/kg for the last 3 and half months.
I am now 18 and a half and have read that Accutane can cause premature epiphyseal closure in pediatric patients. I am concerned that this may have happened to me because I notice that I have not grown much at all in the last few years since I was on the drug. I am still approximately 5'7.
In your opinion Doctor, is this side effect something that you have come across in your experience with patients who are still growing?
In addition, I have mainly read that Accutane can have the possibility of affecting the epiphyseal plates at the end of long bones. Is there a chance that accutane can also cause premature fusion of bones other than long bones eg the cranial sutures, or is it reserved to the epiphyseal plates?
I would really appreciate a reply as soon as you can Doctor
thank you |

Face Tanners For Acne-prone Skin |

Claudalie Purifying Mask Or PTR Sulfur Mask? |
| | I was wondering which mask would be better and more effective for the treatment of acne and skin roughness (congested skin) - Caudalie's Purifying Mask or PTR Sulfur Mask? I have been using the PTR Sulfur mask for a while now and it does not seem to really help, just dry. I tried the Purifying mask once as a sample and loved it but don't want to invest in it if there is something out there you recommend over it.
Also, is it okay to use my PTR Un-Wrinkle Peel pads every night and the PTR BHA/AHA clearing gel every morning, or is this too much for my skin in the long run? Please let me know.
Thanks! |

Acne Product Combinations |
| | I recently bought two products containing salicylic acid. One is a foaming cleanser and the other is for spot treatment. Would it be alright to use the foaming cleanser to clean my face and then apply the spot treatment? |

Glycolic Acid |
| | Hi Megan,
You know I have been using the Peter Thomas Roth BHA/AHA acne clearing gel and PTR spot treatment to clear my adult acne. For the past 2 weeks, I have been consistently using it every morning. In addition, I have also been consistently using the PTR Un-Wrinkle Peel pads every night to treat my mild acne as well as rough skin that has developed (which I wonder why). My question is, at my age of 24, is using too many products with glycolic acid going to kill my skin in the long run? If so, what do you recommend I use to stop breaking out and get rid of roughness? I have been using these PTR products for about 2 months now and still see flare ups here and there and rough skin is just now calming down a bit. In addition, I have been using a retinol treatment from Philosophy every night and a moisturizer also from Philosophy every morning, that contains 2% salicylic acid. I am also having a hard time getting rid of the acne scarring (which I believe in time will fade). But for now, my main skin concern is skin roughness and stopping acne. I am hispanic, dark hair, drak eyes, fair/medium skin (tanned now due to Summer). Also, I should add that this problem started about this January - before this I never had any skin problems (always clear!) Please help.
Thank you! |
