Could using Keto AZ shampoo, Desowen lotion, and Kevon lotion be causing the increase in my hair fall? I've been dealing with constant dandruff and have seborrheic dermatitis, and now there's itching, inflammation, and irritation along with too much hair fall. Should I stop using these products?

I've been struggling with dark circles under my eyes for about 7 to 8 years now, and I'm really looking for some advice on how to get rid of them. Could you suggest any effective ways or treatments?

Dark circles under the eyes can be caused by various factors such as lack of sleep, stress, allergies, or genetics. To help reduce dark circles, you can try using an over-the-counter cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid to lighten the skin. Additionally, make sure to get an adequate amount of sleep, stay hydrated, and protect your skin from sun exposure by using sunscreen. You can also try placing cold compresses or cucumber slices on your eyes to reduce puffiness. If these measures do not improve your dark circles, you may consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.
