Small, red pinhead likenrashes which seem to be deeply embedded in skin. The rash cannot be felt by running our hand across it.

View allI'm really struggling with dark knees, elbows, and underarms, and it's been bothering me for a while. Do you have any suggestions or treatments that could help with this? I'd really appreciate your advice.
Darkening of the skin in these areas can be due to various reasons such as friction, sun exposure, hormonal changes, or certain medical conditions. To help lighten these areas, you can try using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. One example is "Melalite Forte cream" which can be applied once daily at night. Additionally, using a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 on these areas can help prevent further darkening. Remember to consult with a dermatologist before starting any new skincare regimen.

Could you recommend any shampoos that might work well for dry and frizzy hair, particularly considering the climate in India?
