The answer

The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, Allah sent down the disease and the cure, and He made a cure for every disease. So seek treatment, but do not seek treatment with what is unlawful." If the inquirer is afflicted with a disease that affects his face, there is no harm in consulting a specialist doctor to prescribe medication. Using it does not constitute imitation of women, as imitation of them occurs in what is specific to them.
