Can you recommend a good cream for tan removal that's suitable for oily skin? I'm really struggling with my skin texture and would love some expert advice on this.

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.
-

I've noticed my hair is falling out really fast these days, like 30-40 strands every day, and my hairline seems to be receding daily. I started doing this ancient yoga thing I found online called Balayam nail rubbing, and some reviews mentioned there's usually an initial shedding phase of around 3 months. They said the hair fall would stop after that, but it's not happening for me. So, I'm a bit worried because I quit doing the technique, and my hair fall has increased. Also, hair loss runs in my familymy dad was half baldand my diet is kind of low on protein. I'm just trying to figure out how to slow down the hair loss, and it would be amazing if it could stop altogether. Any advice or recommendations?

I've been using Patchex tablets and Mel Bild solution for the past two months to deal with my patches. While Mel Bild seems to work on the existing patches, I've noticed that new ones keep popping up. Is this normal, or should I be worried about something else going on? What should I do next?
It seems like the current treatment is not fully effective in preventing the formation of new patches. I recommend adding a topical corticosteroid like Clobetasol cream to help reduce inflammation and prevent the development of new patches. Apply a thin layer of Clobetasol cream on the affected areas once daily for 4 weeks, then gradually taper off.
