Question

I'm a 21-year-old girl from North India, and I've been noticing that my skin is wheatish overall, but my inner thighs and buttocks are quite a bit darker than the rest of my body. Is this something that's normal for most Indians? If not, can you suggest any ways to lighten those areas?

Question

I've noticed these small white patches on my thighs, and they've been there for about a month now. They seem to be spreading, and I'm getting really worried. There's no family history of vitiligo, which makes it even more confusing. I've tried using Momate cream and Tacroz 0.1 for two weeks, but there's no sign of improvement. Now, my dermatologist has prescribed Melgain lotion in the morning, Tacroz 0.1 at night, and T.Ascozinc for a month. Do you think this will actually help, or is there anything else I should be considering?

Question

I've been taking Adgain tabs for a while now to help with my hair health, but I'm beginning to wonder how long it's safe to continue them. Could there be any negative side effects on my overall health if I keep using these supplements? I'm a bit concerned and want to make sure I'm not doing any harm to my body.

Question

I've been noticing dark circles around my eyes and it's really bothering me. I'm curious if there are any treatments or specific creams that can help reduce or remove them. Are there particular methods or facial products that work best for this issue?
