I accidentally put undiluted Dettol on my nose and chin a few days ago, and when it started burning, I washed it off. This morning, I noticed that the skin feels really tight, dry, and flaky. When I tried to peel it off, the skin underneath looks red and is still burning. I'm worried about how to treat this and avoid any scars. What should I do?

No need to worry there is no further complications with this, and the reaction might be due to concentrated Dettol, it usually heals on its own if the exposed area is large and giving you pain , visit your Dermatologist for appropriate treatment.

View allI'm really worried about my hair. It seems to fall out more quickly whenever I wash it, comb it, or even when I apply hair oil. What could be causing this, and how can I deal with it?
This could be due to various reasons such as stress, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, or even certain medical conditions. To help reduce hair fall, you can try using minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the scalp. Additionally, taking biotin tablets 10mg once daily can also help in improving hair health. Make sure to eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, and try to manage stress through relaxation techniques or exercise. If the problem persists, it's best to consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

I've been diagnosed with LPP after a biopsy, and I'm dealing with black pigmentation on my face, underarms, and neck. At first, I didn't think much of it, but it's been spreading. I've been on medication for about six months now, using tacrolimus ointment since September 2016, and I did phototherapy for a while. But after phototherapy, my skin got so dry and dark that I just had to stop because it was really getting me down. My new doctor prescribed me Depiwhite and Pynomax TX cream for alternate nights and xamic tablets for a month. The thing is, when I looked up xamic, it seems to be meant for stopping excessive menstrual bleeding, but my periods are pretty regular, so I'm kind of worried about taking it. Could you please offer some advice on what I should do?
It is understandable to have concerns about taking a medication that is typically used for a different purpose. In your case, Xamic tablet (Tranexamic Acid) can also be used to reduce skin pigmentation and improve skin tone in conditions like LPP. The recommended dosage for skin pigmentation is usually 250-500mg twice daily. It is important to follow your doctor's advice and continue with the prescribed treatment plan. If you have any further concerns or experience any side effects, it is best to discuss them with your doctor for proper guidance.

I'm really worried about my skin and would love some advice on how to improve it naturally. I'm trying to avoid cosmetics but I have some dark spots I'd really like to clear up and I really want my skin to have that natural glow. What are some things I could be doing or avoiding to help with this?
To get good skin and a glowing face without using cosmetics, you can start by maintaining a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Drinking plenty of water helps to keep your skin hydrated and flush out toxins. Regular exercise also improves blood circulation, which can give your skin a healthy glow. Protect your skin from the sun by using sunscreen daily and wearing protective clothing. To remove dark spots, you can try using products containing ingredients like hydroquinone, retinoids, or vitamin C. These can help lighten dark spots and even out your skin tone. Additionally, incorporating a skincare routine with products like a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and exfoliant can help improve the overall appearance of your skin.
