Those tiny white bumps around your eyes are NOT acne! It's MILIA 😯

Milia are tiny keratin-filled cysts that look like white/yellow bumps, often around eyes, cheeks & nose. They won't pop like pimples.

Why they form?
Dead skin cells get trapped beneath the surface.

Common Triggers:

Heavy creams / oils
Product buildup & poor exfoliation
Sun damage
Post-procedure skin (laser, burns)
What NOT to do:
❌ Don't pick/squeeze - it will scar!
❌ No harsh scrubs
❌ Avoid thick occlusive balms around eyes if you're prone

What Helps:
✅ Gentle exfoliation 2-3x/week (lactic acid)
✅ Light, non-comedogenic moisturizer
✅ Daily SPF!

CHRONIC URTICARIA — WHEN HIVES KEEP COMING BACK

Have you been dealing with repeated itchy, raised red patches or welts on your skin? If these hives continue to appear for more than 6 weeks, it may be Chronic Urticaria.

🔎 What is Chronic Urticaria?
Chronic urticaria is a skin condition in which itchy wheals (hives) repeatedly develop and may disappear and reappear over time. The itching can be uncomfortable and may interfere with sleep, work, and everyday activities.

⚠️ Common symptoms include:
• Raised, itchy welts on the skin
• Redness or swelling
• Hives that change location or size
• Recurrent episodes lasting more than 6 weeks

💡 What triggers it?
Triggers can vary from person to person. In some cases, factors such as heat, pressure, stress, infections, certain medications, or other underlying conditions may contribute. Sometimes, no specific trigger is identified.

👨‍⚕️ The right evaluation matters.
Instead of repeatedly managing the itching on your own, a proper dermatological assessment can help determine the appropriate treatment and ways to control recurring symptoms.

💙 Relief is possible with the right care.
Consult Dr. Ravi Patel (M.B., DDV) at Riva Skin Clinic for expert assessment and personalized treatment.

Ever wondered how an Acne actually forms?

Acne usually begins when hair follicles (pores) become clogged with a combination of excess sebum (oil), dead skin cells and other factors. This can lead to blockage, inflammation and different types of acne lesions.

The process can progress from clogged pores to blackheads or whiteheads, and in some cases develop into inflamed papules, pustules or deeper cystic acne.

Acne is not simply a result of “dirty skin” and it isn't something you should ignore if it keeps returning.

✨ The right treatment depends on the type, severity and underlying factors of your acne.

👨‍⚕️ Consult Dr. Ravi Patel (M.B., DDV) for personalized acne care at Riva Skin Clinic, Himatnagar & Idar.

Alopecia Areata — When Hair Loss Appears in Patches

Have you suddenly noticed a round or oval patch where the hair has disappeared?

Don’t immediately assume it is ordinary hair fall.

Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system mistakenly targets hair follicles, causing sudden patchy hair loss. It can affect the scalp and sometimes the eyebrows, beard or other body areas.

Some people may develop a single small patch, while others can experience more extensive hair loss.

The exact cause is not completely understood. Genetic and immune-related factors may play a role. Stress may be associated with flare-ups in some people, but it is not the only cause.

Not every case of patchy hair loss is due to vitamin deficiency, stress or hormones. Different conditions can look similar, so proper dermatological evaluation is important.

What should you do if you notice a bald patch?

✔ Don’t panic
✔ Don’t self-medicate
✔ Avoid unverified hair treatments
✔ Get the hair loss properly evaluated
✔ Follow your dermatologist’s treatment plan
✔ Maintain regular follow-ups

Treatment depends on factors such as age, extent and duration of hair loss, number and size of patches, and treatment response. A dermatologist can recommend the most appropriate treatment for your condition.
