View allI'm worried about my son's new wife because her dad has vitiligo, and I didn't think much of it before. The girl, my daughter-in-law now, doesn't show any signs of it so far. I've just learned that vitiligo can be hereditary. What are the chances she might develop it? And what precautions or treatments can we consider to prevent her or future children from getting vitiligo?

I'm noticing a lot of small moles popping up on my face, and I'm curious about why they're appearing. I've been using neem and aloe vera face washes, along with Himalaya's day and night creams, hoping they'd help clear these moles up. Should I be doing something different, or is there a deeper reason for these moles showing up?
Small moles on the face can be a cosmetic concern. Here's what you need to know: *Causes of Moles* 1. *Genetics*: Moles can run in families. 2. *Sun exposure*: UV radiation can stimulate the growth of moles. 3. *Hormonal changes*: Hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy, puberty, or menopause can lead to mole growth. 4. *Skin type*: People with fair skin are more prone to moles. *Your Current Skincare Routine* 1. *Neem face wash*: Neem has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help with acne and skin clarity. 2. *Aloe vera face wash*: Aloe vera can help soothe and calm the skin. 3. *Himalaya day and night creams*: These creams can help moisturize and nourish your skin. *Additional Tips to Reduce Moles* 1. *Sun protection*: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily. 2. *Exfoliate regularly*: Gently exfoliate your skin 1-2 times a week to remove dead skin cells. 3. *Avoid picking or scratching*: Refrain from picking or scratching moles, as this can lead to infection, scarring, or skin irritation.

I've been using Cosglo gel for two months but haven't seen any results yet. Is there a specific time I should be applying it to help with dark spots, or should I be doing something else? I'm starting to worry if it's actually effective. Can you give me any advice on this?
