Answered on 22nd Jan '25

You might be experiencing hyperpigmentation, where skin appears darker due to various factors like sun exposure, hormonal changes, or inflammation. Even with sunscreen, some individuals may still notice darkening. It's important to assess your skincare routine and consider factors such as the type of sunscreen and its application. Ensure you're applying it liberally and reapplying regularly, especially during prolonged outdoor activities. For persistent or concerning changes, I recommend consulting a dermatologist. They can provide personalized advice and treatment options to help your skin recover and restore its natural tone.

I am 24 years old girl . I have low vitamin d3 when I get it checked in February and from that time I m taking supplements . All other things are normal .But after 5 month itself my hair fall does not stop at all.I m suffering from high hairfall .

Female | 24

Sometimes not having enough vitamin D3 can cause people to lose their hair. You should keep taking the vitamin D supplement as the doctor told you. You should try to eat more foods that have iron and protein in them as well. One thing that might help is finding ways to relax when you are stressed.

Itching, redness and sticky dandruff in beard. From last 10+ years. Issue resolve when clomatrizole applied but this time clomatrizole is not working. Want some generic ointment as can't afford expensive treatments.

Male | 35

You are suffering from a long-term problem with your beard itching, redness, and sticky dandruff. A skin condition seborrheic dermatitis may be the cause. Occasionally, the use of antifungal ointments like clotrimazole can be effective, but if this is not the case, you might want to use an ointment with hydrocortisone to decrease inflammation. Remember to wash and dry the area that is affected as this will help with the symptoms.

Include nutrient-rich foods such as nuts, avocados, and whole grains in your daily diet and be associated with strength workouts is the key to muscle mass development. A solution to the breast's firmness and tone can be the exertion of the pectoral muscle lines and the maintenance of a balanced diet. Getting a healthy skin means being hydrated, eating fruits and vegetables, and also using gentle care products. These are two vital steps for the skin to be smooth and radiant.

Badan me dard or chehre Ka colour black

Female | 25

Body pain and a black face could signal ane­mia - not enough red blood cells. Ane­mia makes you tired, pale, and achy. Eating iron-rich foods he­lps: spinach, beans, meat. Drink lots of water, re­st well too. See a doctor if it doe­sn't improve.

My daughter is 10 year old and she got allergic it's like water ball it's spreading on legs so what is the best treatment for that.

Female | 10

Your daughter may have red hives, itching, and raised bumps on the skin. Often hives are elevated because of allergens like the diverse range of food, insects, or specified materials. Antihistamine drugs such as Benadryl can be used to help relieve the symptoms of itching and swelling. Check again to ensure no food or other substances have caused the allergy, and if it spreads or worsens, seek medical attention.

I am 26 year old female. Having itching on legs which gets red than in few days turn black and dry. They are in patches. I have visited skin clinic also still no effect. As well as on hand near wrist there are small small skin eruption nothing field in it only itching is there but it looks very dirty. So what should be done?

Female | 26

It is possible that you are suffering from a skin condition called eczema. Eczema is a chronic condition that causes the skin to become irritated, red, and itchy. If the itching is severe or does not improve with over-the-counter treatments, you should see a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment. A dermatologist can help diagnose the problem and provide you with the best treatment plan. They may suggest topical steroids, oral medications, light therapy, or other treatments to help control your symptoms.

I have oily skin and acne marks and acne on my forehead And my face , brown spot in my face

Female | 27

You may have a combination of shiny skin, hyperpigmentation, pimples on your forehead, and spots on your cheeks. Overactive oil glands are a magnet for pimples which consecutively leave dark marks. Stress, hormones, and your diet could all contribute to making it severe. Tanning or irritating your skin might be responsible for brown spots. To fix your issue, gently clean it every day using cleansing products; you can get some over-the-counter drugs meant for treating acne then apply them as instructed, and protect it against the sun by wearing sunscreen all the time.
