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
- If skin issues persist or worsen, or if you notice unusual changes in skin texture, seek professional advice.

I'm experiencing a white beard issue, and it's quite concerning. I first noticed a couple of white hairs about two years ago, but now I'm dealing with over 40 or 50 on my face. Is there anything specific that's causing this, and how can I manage or prevent it from getting worse?

I'm struggling with these really itchy rashes on my trunk and hands. I initially tried taking fexodine 180 mg twice a day but didn't see any improvement. Then, I switched to prednisolone 20 combined with cetirizine, but it's been five days and there's still no relief. Is there anything else I should try or any advice you could give? I'm getting pretty worried about this situation.

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
