So I've been using Betnovate N cream and it really helped lighten my face, but when I stopped using it, my face got darker again and I've also ended up with dark circles. Can you suggest a good cream for fairness, and maybe help with the back skin issue too?

To address the darkening and dark circles on your face, you can try using a cream containing Hydroquinone, Tretinoin, and Mometasone in the night for a limited period under the guidance of a dermatologist. For fairness, you can use a cream containing Kojic Acid, Arbutin, and Vitamin C in the morning. Remember to always use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin.

I'm really concerned because I'm losing around 300 to 400 strands of hair every day. It's like, whenever I comb, touch, or wash my hair, I'm shedding so much. Plus, I'm dealing with dandruff and dead skin too, even if I skip washing my hair for just a day. What's going on here? How can I stop this hair fall and maybe even regrow my hair? It's starting to really worry me.

Excessive hair fall and dandruff can be distressing. Identifying the Underlying Cause To address your concerns, it's essential to identify the underlying cause of your hair fall and dandruff. Possible causes include: 1. Genetics: Family history can play a role in hair loss. 2. Hormonal Imbalance: Hormonal changes, particularly an excess of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), can contribute to hair loss. 3. Scalp Conditions: Conditions like dandruff, psoriasis, or eczema can cause hair fall. 4. Nutritional Deficiencies: Lack of essential nutrients like iron, zinc, or biotin can contribute to hair loss. 5. Hairstyling and Grooming: Excessive heat styling, tight hairstyles, or rough handling can damage hair and lead to breakage.Additional Tips 1. Reduce Heat Styling: Minimize heat styling tools like flat irons, curling irons, and blow dryers. 2. Use Gentle Hair Care Products: Choose shampoos and conditioners that are gentle and sulfate-free. 3. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Reduce exposure to chemicals like hair dye, perms, and relaxers. 4. Maintain Good Scalp Hygiene: Wash your scalp regularly to prevent oil buildup and reduce dandruff.
