Hello Dr. I used cosvate gm cream as a night cream for pimple treatment if I forget apply it only 1 day my pimples grows again. So I used it since 12 years it is safe or not?

Question

Absolutely unsafe and has probably already damaged your skin. This is a steroid cream and is likely to make your skin permanently thin and sensitive. Another problem is the addictive tendency with this cream since you will not like to leave it. You should consult any qualified dermatologist who will have to wean you off over several weeks/months.

Hi lybrate-user, sorry to say but, your skin is addicted to cosvate gm because you are using it for so long. We call it steriod induced acne. The skin becomes very sensitive and has permanent side effects like, thinning of skin, redness, pimples, red lace like linnings, reacting to different products. Let me have a look at you, to see in which stage you are right now. We need to stop cosvate gm cream, because it's not use for pimples in first place. Start using a sunscreen like episoft ac sunscreen. Start eating fresh fruits and vegetables. Stop intake of sugar, maida products. You can send me your photos privately so can guide you accordingly.

no, u need to stop this. To prevent pimples, eat fresh fruits, green vegetables, drinking plenty of water should be an essential part of your routine and intake of oily fried foods, an excess of sugar-salt should be avoided.
Don't peal pimples, as they tend to leave scars.
Stop using soap on face. Instead take a spoon of milk, add a pinch of turmeric (haldi). Mix n apply on face with the help of cotton. Leave for a few minutes then wash off. It?s a good cleanser. If skin is dry then apply moisturizer like coconut oil.
For swollen pimples, gently apply ice for a minute or so. Just don't keep the ice on so long that it irritates your skin.
Tea tree oil can kill bacteria. Some people use it to treat minor skin irritations, including acne. There isn't much research on how effective it is, but tea tree oil is safe to put directly on your skin in a diluted form. Try it on a small area first to make sure you don't have an allergic reaction.
Simple Honey Mask--Before applying this mask, rinse your face with warm water to open up pores. Then apply honey and leave it on the skin for 30 minutes. Rinse the honey off with warm water; then rinse again with cold water to close the pores.
Yeast and Yogurt Mask for Oily Skin--Oily skin is prone to acne, and this home remedy can reduce excess oil
and help clear acne. To make the mask, combine 1 teaspoon of brewer's
yeast with a little plain yogurt to create a thin mixture. Apply it thoroughly
to all the oily areas and leave on for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse with warm
water; then use cold water to close the pores.
