Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am a 17-year-old male. My skin is generally dryish but not problematic. It is light brown, with no acne and no significant issues before treatment. The initial treatment regimen was 4.5 months for two to three times daily. Medications used were Hydroquinone 2 %, Tretinoin 0.025 %, and Mometasone furoate. I got adverse reactions, such as developing a small, rough bump on the neck, which led to massive peeling for several days. Skin became functional but dry, with eczema-like characteristics and acne. My current skin is as follows:
I am open to exploring advanced treatments, including those involving genetic or molecular approaches, if necessary.
1. What specific skin conditions could be causing these symptoms and changes?
2. What are the potential long-term effects of using Hydroquinone, Tretinoin, and Mometasone furoate?
3. What steps can be taken to reverse or mitigate the current skin condition?
4. What should the daily skincare routine be moving forward to support recovery?
5. How can the emotional and mental impact of this condition be addressed alongside physical treatment?
Please help.
Thanks.
