I had a c-section about 8 months back, and since then, I've noticed that my face has changed to a much darker shade, especially around the eyes, nose, and mouth. It's quite concerning because I used to have a fair complexion, and now it looks almost like I'm unwell. I'd really appreciate any advice on what might be causing this and what I can do about it. Any help would be fantastic.

I've been taking Allegra 180 for three days and stopped it, but now, around a month later, I've noticed lots of tiny dots in my mouth and they're kind of burning. Could this be a side effect from the Allegra?
The symptoms you are experiencing in your mouth may be due to a condition called oral thrush, which can sometimes occur as a side effect of taking Allegra. I recommend using an antifungal medication like Nystatin oral suspension. You can swish the medication in your mouth for about 30 seconds before swallowing. The usual dosage is 4-6 mL four times a day. Additionally, maintaining good oral hygiene practices such as regular brushing and flossing can also help alleviate the symptoms.

I've been dealing with hair loss since 2015 and had been using minoxidil 5% for over a year. I stopped using it about 6 months ago but started again a month ago and I think the shedding phase is done. I saw a trichologist who recommended Xfolia hair gain serum and hairgain pills since I'm in a type 3 pattern. Have you heard of this Xfolia stuff? How long does it usually take to see results with this kind of treatment, because I couldn't find any info about it online?
