Re: Rosacea acne
If the Soolantra cream does not work, then find a clinic with a pulsed dye laser and an experienced operator. Sometimes we find excellent results for acne rosacea using this laser. Dr. Mark Brewin Clinical Scientist (HCPC Registration Nº CS18654) PhD, BSc(Hons), MSc, DipIPEM, PGCert Burns & Plas...

Re: IPL and laser treatment form rosacea
Most private laser clinics do not treat until you are 18 years of age. At our clinic, we treat at all ages as we are part of the NHS who also run a private service. The main consideration is whether you are able to tolerate the pain of the treatment. This is not very painful but it is not insignific...

Re: Acne Scars
Which treatment you go for depends on what type of acne scarring you have. There are three defined types; boxcar, rolling and icepick. The first two are reasonably treatable by fractionated laser or microneedling. The third requires more complex treatment (to include subcision as Ioannis mentions ab...

Re: Dark patches above my lip
You may want to visit a reputable laser clinic or enquire about Q-switch laser for the removal of excess pigmentation. Don't bother with IPL treatment is the improvement is not so long lasting. Certainly worth a go if it is bothering you that much.

Re: hormonal acne
The large spots are most probably folliculitis associated with increased hair growth. You might want to seek some sort of help with epilation and you should consider laser hair removal with either a diode or Alexandrite laser (not IPL). This would reduce hair growth and in turn reduce the symptoms o...

Re: Scars on the trunk of my son
Hi there It is hard to see from the photo but I make the assumption that, by scars, you mean areas of depigmentation. In other words, patches of white. Are they raised in any way? If they are just white patches, I am afraid that this means that he has lost the skin pigment (or melanin) in these area...

Re: Weeping Face! How to treat?
This sounds like a severe form of rosacea but I can’t be sure without seeing you. Also I am not a dermatologist! You would be best advised to go to your GP for further advice.

Re: Cream for eczema
You want to try using emollients. These are creams and ointments that moisturize the skin and prevent it from drying out. http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/emollients/Pages/Introduction.aspx The best emollients for people with atopic dermatitis are thick creams (such as Eucerin, Cetaphil, and Nutraderm) ...

Re: Parabens in emollients
Paraben (or hydroxybenzoate) is a preservative. A lot have manufacturers have been pushed to remove parabens from their products as they are a potential sensitiser or allergen (i.e. produce an allergic reaction in the user). I am not aware of products containing parabens. You may ask the pharmacist ...
