I'm 22 and have always had short and thin hair, just like my mom and grandma. I really want to make my hair thicker and longer. Can you tell me how long it might take for it to grow out? I'm also open to coming by your hospital for a visit.

View allI'm thinking about using Cosmelite cream because my aunt recommended it to me. But I'm a bit unsure about it. Can anyone advise whether it's safe to start using it or if there are any concerns I should be aware of?
It contains a combination of Hydroquinone, Tretinoin, and Mometasone. If you have been advised to use Cosmelite cream for some skin conditions, you can apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected area once at night, or as directed by your doctor. However, it is important to note that this cream should not be used for a prolonged period of time, as it can lead to side effects such as skin thinning, redness, and increased sensitivity to sunlight. Before using Cosmelite cream, it is recommended to do a patch test on a small area of your skin to check for any allergic reactions.

I'm 27 and from Tamilnadu. A while back, I accidentally had kerosene poured on me, and since then, my face has been getting darker day by day. I'm really worried about how to get back to my previous skin tone. What can I do to improve my skin?
Accidentally spilling kerosene on your face can cause skin damage and discoloration. To help restore your skin tone, you can try using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF daily can help prevent further darkening of the skin. Make sure to consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

I'm really concerned about my 3-month-old daughter's skin. I've been using a massage routine with homemade ghee, and then I apply a mixture of gram flour, raw milk, and turmeric powder after 15 minutes. I want to know if it's safe to use these things daily to help lighten her skin tone. Is this okay for her delicate skin? What would you suggest I do to help her?
No they are not adviced to use because their skin is sensitive,you can use natural oils nothing more than that
