Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I had a fungal infection last year in my inner thighs I recovered from the fungal infection in three to four months but it left skin pigmentation and lots of stretch marks also I am very conscious about this my skin color is fair but my inner thighs have become dark with loose skin and stretch marks I am having continuous treatment from six months. I am still using Stretch Rid cream and Dew Moiz moisturizer. I am getting married in four months and I am very concerned about this. I cannot bear any treatments like lasers and PRP. Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
1. For darkened inner areas of thighs- mix coconut oil and lemon juice in a ratio of 2:1.
2. Apply to darkened areas for 15 minutes and wash with warm water.
3. Stretch marks and loose skin are likely to be due to physical inactivity. Brisk walking or yoga for 45 minutes is essential for decreasing loose skin, and stretch marks.
4. Eat one boiled egg daily, eat more boiled vegetables and fruits, and avoid junk foods, carbonated beverages, and icecreams.
I hope I have cleared your doubts.
Thank you.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am having stretch marks and loose skin on the darkened area applying lemon will be harmful? And eating a boiled egg daily can cause too much heat in my body which can cause fungal infection again. And I am very slim. I cannot perform much exercise. I want to become a little fat and clear the inner thighs wholly like there was nothing before. If I have to eat boiled eggs daily, how long should I eat? My stretch marks are a little better than before but eating too many boiled eggs will be helpful. How many days will it take if I have to apply oil and lemon mixture? The skin is not too dark but as my color is fair it looks dark and has stretch marks and loose skin on it. Will applying the lemon and oil mixture can cause any harm?
Hello,

I suggest applying to a small area for a few days. If you see the skin becoming lighter and better you apply it to other areas also. Boiled eggs are the best source of protein. Without good quality protein, your skin can not shine or glow. Eat one boiled egg daily without hesitation. Without adequate exercise, and physical activity your body's loose skin will not decrease. For glowing healthy skin you must eat more vegetables and fruits (not fruit juice), and drink adequate water 1.5 liters daily. Exercise and brisk walking regularly daily, and avoid junk foods, carbonated beverages, ice creams, and cool drinks. I hope this helps.
Thank you.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
How long will it take for the stretch marks to disappear? Should I continue using Stretchrid cream? Is Stretch Rid cream good? I have been using this cream and Dew Moiz moisturizer for the past few months. I also have a hair problem. I have very thin and small hair. My hair was better two years ago because of health issues and depression. I lost my hair. I am still stressed about the inner thigh marks. There are plenty of marks. The stress itself is losing my confidence and having health issues one after the other. Two years ago I had a hormonal imbalance and had menstruation again and again. I ate hormonal pills which led to full of fluffiness in my body, especially when my face was fully bloated. Then I used to exercise a lot and have loosened much weight from there onwards. I am not gaining weight just going on losing which led to loosened skin and stretchmarks. For fungal infections before consulting doctors, I used castor-nf for a long time. Does this cream cause stretch marks? I also want to ask since my weight is not gaining and I do not have a chest increase. Also, I want to increase my chest size. Does there anything which increases chest size? I have lots of issues. I am really very stressed and I am getting married in four months. How will my fiance react?
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com
Do not worry unnecessarily. If you do not eat healthy foods you cannot appear healthy. You are what you eat, eating a mixed balanced diet is most important for your health, hair health, and skin health. Your problems appear very small. Have confidence in yourself. You cannot be successful without confidence. For gaining weight,
1. Eat boiled potatoes daily.
2. Eat boiled eggs daily.
3. Eat more boiled vegetables and fruits. Chest size will automatically increase if you eat good food.
Becelac Fortz 30 capsules, one capsule daily after dinner for 30 days. Stretch rid is not of much use. I hope I have cleared all your doubts.
Thank you.
