View allI've had my hair smoothened twice, and now I'm noticing bald patches and a lot of hair fall. I also have PCOD, so I'm really worried if that could be making things worse. Could the treatments have caused this, or is it more related to my PCOD? What can I do to improve my hair health?
In PCOD your hair will be week hence do not try such methods which would cause more hair loss,visit dermatologist for appropriate managemnt.

I'm dealing with lichen planus pigmentosus and have been for about two years now. Its still pretty active because I keep noticing new pigmentation, especially on my hands. I've got it on my face, neck, and arms too. I tried phototherapy, but it just made things darker, so I stopped that. I've been using Pynormax Tx Depiwhite on my face and neck, and Hydroquinone 5% solution on my hands. I'm also taking Xamic 500mg daily. How long can I keep using all these without worrying about side effects? And with the condition still active, would Glycopeel be a good option for my face and neck?
yes u can use it, visit ur physician for apprpropriate managent

I'm a bit worried about something. I had a 60 TCA cross done recently, and by the fifth day, I noticed that my skin started turning yellowish-white. I'm really suspecting it might be infected. I've been using terramycin skin ointment, but now I'm seeing some white stuff and pus coming out. Is this kind of reaction normal with this ointment?
