View allI've got a wheatish, sensitive combination skin and earlier I was using Dermadew Aloe lotion as a night cream because my dermatologist recommended it. But honestly, I haven't seen much improvement in my skin tone. I recently came across something called Dermadew GLOW cream. Do you think it's safe for me to use it regularly for clearer, glowing skin?
Dermadew Glow cream is a good option for improving skin tone and achieving a clearer, glowy skin. It contains ingredients like Kojic acid, Arbutin, Liquorice extract, Vitamin E, and Allantoin which help in brightening the skin and reducing pigmentation. You can apply a thin layer of Dermadew Glow cream on cleansed skin at night before bedtime. Remember to use sunscreen during the day while using this cream to protect your skin from sun damage.

I'm a bit concerned because I've been using this AQUASOFT moisturizing cream from Ajanta Pharma for about 2 years now. I've been thinking, are there any side effects I should be aware of from using it for this long? Can you help me understand if there's anything I should look out for?
Aquasoft cream by Ajanta Pharma is generally considered safe, but long-term use can lead to potential side effects like skin irritation, allergic reactions, or dependence on the moisturizer, so it's recommended to consult a dermatologist for personalized advice and to reassess your skin's needs.

Is there any surgery or treatment that can reverse white hair and bring back my natural black color? I started getting white hair when I was just 15, and now at 33, it's becoming more noticeable. I'm curious if there's a way to treat this and restore my original hair color.
No, there is no known surgery or treatment that can reverse white hair and restore the natural black color if the cause is genetic or aging. Once a hair follicle loses its ability to produce melanin, the pigment responsible for hair color, it will no longer produce colored hair strands. However, if premature graying is due to underlying health issues or nutritional deficiencies, addressing these factors may help to slow down or even reverse the process.
