I was admitted to the hospital for a bedsore about 10 days ago and was given antibiotics. The heel is healing slowly but some parts still don't seem fully healed. The doctors initially mentioned plastic surgery but later said it should get better on its own. Should I keep taking the antibiotics or switch to betadine ointment now? The wound looks better but not completely closed.

View allI've been noticing that my complexion has become really dull and dark recently. I used to have a pretty fair complexion, but ever since I started my weight loss journey and lost about 8 kgs by going to the gym regularly, it's like my skin has been affected negatively. I look pale and dull and have lost that bright glow. Can you suggest anything for this? Oh, and I should mention my skin is oily, prone to acne, and also quite sensitive.
To help improve your skin tone and regain the glow, you can try using a topical cream containing Vitamin C and Niacinamide. These ingredients can help brighten the skin and even out the complexion. Additionally, using a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily can protect your skin from further damage and darkening. For your oily and acne-prone skin, you can use a gentle cleanser containing salicylic acid to help control oil production and prevent breakouts.

I'm really worried about my husband. His private area keeps itching all the time and when he scratches, it gets red and painful. The doctor gave him a soap and cream, and when he uses the cream, it doesn't itch. But as soon as he stops using it, the itching comes back. Were really looking for a permanent solution. What should we do?

I'm dealing with hair fall for the past three months and it's really worrying me. Are those shampoo-based hair colors, like Indica or Streaks, which you get in Rs 30 sachet packs, safe to use every couple of months? Also, is there any way we can stop hair from greying or falling out using medicines? And if I do decide to color, which brand would be the best pick?
