View allI'm dealing with this issue where my palm is getting darker, and a dermatologist mentioned it's hyperpigmentation. I've already tried medications from two different specialists, but it hasnt helped at all. I used to stay up really late for about 6-7 years, around 12 years ago. Im also a vegan. Could any of these be related to whats going on with my skin? I'm really curious about what else I can do to sort this out.
Hyperpigmentation of palms occur because of various causes like deficiency of vitamin B12, Addison's disease , malabsorption syndrome etc. So you need some investigation to exclude these conditions. Meet a dermatologist. Start vitaminB12 supplements.

I'm really struggling with dark circles and marks under my eyes. I've tried all sorts of face creams, face packs, and washes, but nothing seems to help. My skin is this annoying mix of oily and combination, and it always just looks dull. Do you have any advice on tablets or creams I should try?
For dark circles and dull skin, you can try using a combination of Vitamin C serum and retinol cream. You can use a Vitamin C serum in the morning to brighten the skin and reduce dark circles, and a retinol cream at night to improve skin texture and reduce marks. Additionally, you can consider taking Vitamin C supplements to further boost skin health. Make sure to use a non-comedogenic moisturizer suitable for oily and combination skin to keep your skin hydrated.

I'm dealing with an infection near my belly button, and it's been causing some pus discharge. I used soframycin initially and then tried Fucidin cream, which helped a bit with the discharge, but there's still some redness and irritation around the area. I've also been on antibiotics and taken some anti-inflammatory tablets like Zerodol. Today, I noticed some hairy material coming out, which I think might be related to the umbilical cord. Could you advise me on what steps I should take next?
