How long can I safely use Tenovate cream for my psoriasis patches, and is it okay to use Melalite 15 at the same time? I'm a bit confused and need some guidance.

I've got this issue where the skin on my stomach and back is much darker than the rest of my body. My face and arms have a clearer and more even tone. I've tried all sorts of home remedies, but nothing seems to work. I even went for a chemical peel, but it only made a small difference for just a few days. I'm really puzzled and a bit worried. What could be causing this uneven skin tone and how can I effectively address it?

Normal.

I've been reading up on vitamin D and its impact on hair health, and I'm a bit concerned. I'm 23 years old and was recently told I have a vitamin D deficiency. My 25 OH hydroxy vitamin D test results show I have about 23ngmL. Could this deficiency be causing my hair loss? I'm pretty worried and would love some advice.

Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to hair loss, particularly alopecia areata, telogen effluvium, and female pattern hair loss; with a 25(OH)D level of 23 ngmL, you have a moderate deficiency; supplementing with vitamin D (1,000-2,000 IUday) and maintaining a balanced diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, and biotin may help promote hair growth and reduce hair loss.
