View allI'm really worried about some hypopigmented spots on my skin. I came across a picture online that looks a lot like what's happening with me. Do you think using Whitcare skin cream could help with this? Also, someone mentioned aloe vera might be useful for hypopigmented skin. Is that true? Would love to get your insight on this.
Whit-care skin cream contains ingredients like hydroquinone, tretinoin, and mometasone which can be helpful in treating hypopigmented skin. It is important to use it under the guidance of a dermatologist to avoid any side effects. The usual dosage is to apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected area once daily at night. Aloe Vera can be beneficial for hypopigmented skin as it has moisturizing and healing properties. It can help improve the overall health of the skin and promote pigmentation. You can apply pure aloe Vera gel directly to the affected area twice daily for best results.

I'm a 22-year-old guy and I'm experiencing some hair fall issues that's creating gaps in my hair. I've been advised to try Indulekha oil to help regrow my hair, fill those gaps, and stop the hair fall. I'm wondering about the best way to apply it. Is it okay to put the oil on at night and wash it off later? Can I use the oil every night before bed, or is that too frequent? How long should I keep up with this routine to see some results? Would love some guidance!
Yes continue all the medications.

I've been struggling with ringworm for a year nowit just keeps coming and going. Every time I start on my medicines, it seems to get better, but when I stop, it just comes back after a few days. I'm taking ityza 100 mg twice daily and there's another one for allergy I take once a day. Plus, I'm using terbinafine cream. I'm worried and wondering why this keeps happening and what else I might be able to do to get rid of it for good. Any advice would be really appreciated.
That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.
