Why You Shouldn’t Self-Treat Skin Conditions

Introduction
In today’s digital age, many people try to treat skin problems on their own — following online advice or recommendations from friends. However, self-treating skin conditions often leads to worsening symptoms, chronic inflammation, and unnecessary complications. Only a qualified dermatologist can identify the real cause of a skin problem and choose safe, effective therapy.

Why Self-Treatment Is Dangerous

  1. Wrong choice of medication. Without a professional diagnosis, it’s impossible to know whether a rash is caused by bacteria, fungus, viruses, or allergies. The same cream can help one person but seriously harm another.
  2. Masking the symptoms. Over-the-counter creams containing steroids or antibiotics may reduce redness temporarily, but they don’t eliminate the cause — the condition usually returns in a more severe form.
  3. Allergic reactions. Unsupervised use of ointments, herbal mixtures, or home remedies can lead to irritation, chemical burns, or new breakouts.
  4. Loss of time. While a person experiments with internet “cures,” the real disease may continue to progress.

Expert Opinion
According to Dr. Kristina Evdoshenko, PhD, board-certified dermatologist at KindCare Medical Center (Dubai), self-treatment often complicates the diagnostic process:

“When patients come after trying to treat themselves for weeks or months, the clinical picture becomes distorted — it takes longer to identify the cause and restore healthy skin.”
Only comprehensive diagnostics — including dermatoscopy, laboratory tests, and professional skin assessment — can accurately determine the problem and guide proper therapy.

Modern Treatment Approach at KindCare
At KindCare Medical Center Dubai, Dr. Kristina Evdoshenko develops personalized treatment programs based on the patient’s skin type, climate exposure, and medical history. The clinic uses advanced technologies such as BBL phototherapy, MOXI laser rejuvenation, targeted anti-inflammatory care, and customized maintenance regimens that safely heal and restore the skin.

Conclusion
Self-treatment may seem convenient, but it can cause scarring and long-term complications.
