I have a keloid on my chest but I've never had any injuries or surgery there. Is it normal to develop one without any trauma? It doesn't hurt but I'm not sure if it's fully cured or if it could get worse over time

Yes, it's possible to develop a keloid without a clear history of injury or surgery. Keloids are a type of scar tissue that can form spontaneously, especially on the chest, shoulders, and ears. While they often occur after skin trauma, they can sometimes develop without an apparent cause

View allI've been taking doxycycline and lactic acid bacillus capsules for acne, 100 mg daily for a month now. But every time I take them, I get really dizzy and feel super weak. The nausea gets pretty bad, and I often have to lie down right away. Is this the right dosage for me? It doesnt seem normal to feel like this. What should I do?
Discuss these side effects with your prescribing doctor. In the meantime, you can try taking doxycycline with food to see if it helps reduce nausea. If the symptoms persist, your doctor may consider adjusting the dosage or switching to a different medication.

I'm really curious about something. I've been using Fair and Lovely cream for the past six months, and I'm wondering if there are any side effects I should know about. Also, I'm a bit worried that if I stop using it, my face might get darker again. Is that something I should expect?
Fair and Lovely cream contains ingredients like hydroquinone, which can cause side effects such as skin irritation, redness, and thinning of the skin with long-term use. It is not recommended to use hydroquinone-containing products for extended periods of time without medical supervision. If you stop using the cream, your skin may revert back to its original condition, but it is important to transition to a different skincare routine to maintain the results. I recommend consulting a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and guidance on alternative skincare products.

I was at your clinic on the 16th, and we talked about my hair fall and dandruff issues. You recommended kenzsal lotion, which I bought from the medicine store there. But I forgot to ask how I should use it and for how long. Also, I'm dealing with premature white hair, and I'm just 29 and work as a design engineer. Any suggestions on how to slow down or reduce the white hair?
use it before hair wash
