I'm 14 and I've noticed I have a lot of white hair. I've tried so many things, but nothing seems to work. Can you suggest something that might help?

Ive noticed that my face skin has become darker and the texture isnt uniform anymoresome areas are black and others are white. People have commented that my skin looks rough for my age. Theres also no glow, and it feels really dry, almost like its lifeless. What could be causing these changes, and is there anything I can do about it?

It sounds like your skin may be experiencing hyperpigmentation, dryness, and texture irregularities, possibly due to factors like sun exposure, dehydration, or skin barrier damage. Here are some recommendations: 1. Drink plenty of water to improve skin hydration from within. 2. Use a hydrating, non-comedogenic moisturizer twice daily. 3. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) daily to prevent further darkening. 4. Try a mild exfoliant (like lactic acid) once or twice a week to promote even skin texture. Consider seeing a dermatologist for personalized treatment, which may include topical treatments or other therapies to even skin tone and improve texture. These steps should help improve your skins hydration, glow, and uniformity over time.

Is there any way to treat or manage macular amyloidosis? I've seen quite a few dermatologists, but they all told me there's no cure, and the medications they gave me didn't seem to help. Could you provide any insight or advice on this?

Unfortunately, there is currently no definitive cure for macular amyloidosis. However, topical treatments such as Tacrolimus ointment can help improve the appearance of the affected skin. You can apply Tacrolimus ointment twice daily to the affected areas as prescribed by your dermatologist. Additionally, phototherapy with Narrowband UVB light may also be beneficial in some cases. It is important to follow your dermatologist's recommendations for the best management of macular amyloidosis.
