Understanding Tan and Oily Skin
- Tanning occurs due to UV exposure, leading to increased melanin. Oily skin can make tan removal challenging due to excess sebum.
-
Key Ingredients to Look For
- Niacinamide: Reduces pigmentation and controls oil.
- Salicylic Acid: Exfoliates and unclogs pores.
- Vitamin C: Brightens skin and reduces tan.
-
Recommended Creams Available in India
- Lotus Herbals Whiteglow: Contains niacinamide and is suitable for oily skin.
- Neutrogena Fine Fairness: Features vitamin C for brightening.
- Garnier Light Complete: Includes lemon extract for tan removal.
-
Application Tips for Best Results
- Apply cream twice daily on clean skin.
- Use sunscreen during the day to prevent further tanning.
- Maintain a regular exfoliation routine to improve texture.
-
When to Consult a Dermatologist

View allI'm 25 and dealing with hair thinning and bald patches. My dermatologist suggested PRP and minoxidil for about 3-6 months. I've read that when you stop using minoxidil, the hair gains disappear. So why would the doctor recommend it for a short period? Will all the hair I get from PRP and minoxidil just fall out once I stop using minoxidil after a short time?
Thats not true,follow your doctors advice and consume protiene rich food

I've got this bump that started off small, but after I accidentally scratched it, it got bigger. It's pretty red around the edges and really hurts when I touch it. I noticed there's some pus inside. Is it better to wait until the pus grows more before trying to squeeze it out? Then maybe take some antibiotics? I really want to get rid of this from the root, and I heard draining the pus is important. What should I do?
Yes it has to be drained out,do not squeeze it by yourself, visit surgeon for appropriate treatment

I'm 18 and feeling worried about my nipples. They're brown and seem cracked, and I'm scared the cracks might mean something's wrong or that they could fall off. I've never been pregnant or had kids, so I don't know if this is normal. Any idea what might be going on?
You may be experiencing a condition called nipple fissures, which can be caused by various factors such as dry skin, friction, or certain skin conditions. To help with the cracked and brown appearance of your nipples, you can try using a lanolin-based nipple cream like Lansinoh Lanolin Nipple Cream. Apply a small amount after showering and before bedtime to help moisturize and protect the skin.
