Top 3 Questions Patients Ask Us Every Week (And Honest Answers!)🩺

“Top 3 Questions Patients Ask Us Every Week (And Honest Answers!)” 🩺

⸻

Every week at Dr. Rizwan’s Skin Cosmetic & Laser Clinic, we meet so many lovely patients – students, working professionals, homemakers, even kids. And while every skin is different, some questions come up again and again.

So today, let’s answer the Top 3 most common questions we hear in our clinic.

And we’ll keep the answers real – no medical jargon, just what you need to know.

⸻

❓1. “Doctor, Why Do My Pimples Come Back Again and Again?”

📌 Our Answer:

Because only applying cream is not enough. Pimples are not just a surface issue. They’re linked to oil glands, hormones, lifestyle, even gut health in some cases.

Most people apply something for a few days, see little improvement, and stop.

Then the cycle begins again.

📝 What we usually explain:

• Acne treatment takes at least 6–8 weeks to show real results.

• We choose medicines based on your acne type – not everyone needs the same gel.

• Diet, stress, sleep, mobile use, hair oiling – all play a role too.

• Avoid changing products frequently on your own. It confuses your skin.

❓2. “Is This Fungal Infection or Just Dry Skin?”

📌 Our Answer:

Honestly, even we sometimes need a close look (and sometimes a test) to confirm.

But a few clues help:

Feature	Dry Skin	Fungal Infection
Appearance	White, flaky, patchy	Reddish, itchy, often ring-like
Location	Anywhere	Sweat-prone areas (groin, armpit, under breasts, etc.)
Itching	Mild	Intense, especially at night
Response to moisturizer	Improves	Gets worse

📝 What we usually explain:

• Never apply random creams from chemists – especially “triple combination” tubes. They make fungal infections worse in the long run.

• Dry skin gets better with proper moisturizers. Fungal infections need proper antifungal treatment – and for at least 2–4 weeks.

❓3. “I’ve Tried Everything – Why Isn’t My Skin Getting Better?”

📌 Our Answer:

Because trying everything is part of the problem.

We often meet patients who have used:

• 3 different face washes in a month

• DIY masks from YouTube

• OTC creams recommended by friends

• 4–5 active serums (Vitamin C, Retinol, Niacinamide, all at once!)

• Ayurvedic, Homeopathy, and cosmetic products — all together

📝 What we usually explain:

• Skin gets confused. Just like your stomach would, if you eat too many things together.

• You need a simple, consistent routine for 4–6 weeks.

• Less is more when the skin is irritated or reacting.

• We give step-by-step plans – not a pile of products.

👨‍⚕️ Final Word from Dr. Rizwan:

Whether it’s acne, dryness, pigmentation, or rashes — the right diagnosis and a bit of patience go a long way.

So next time your skin is acting up, don’t jump to Google, friends, or pharmacy creams.

Ask us instead – we’re here to help you figure it out calmly and clearly.
