I'm 23 and I've been dealing with this issue since I was 12; the skin on my buttocks and lower back is noticeably darker. It's embarrassing and I'm not sure why it happened, so I'm really looking for some advice or treatment options that could help me with this. What could be causing this and are there any treatments you'd recommend?

View allI've been really worried because my hair has started falling out a lot again and my crown line is receding. It all kicked off about two years ago, and even though I've been to different doctors, nothing seems to stick. Last year, in August, a doctor in Mumbai prescribed me a bunch of stuff: Capsule hair fix advance 1mg, Finax 1mg tablets, spray Grocapix, lotion Adroanagen, and Foliglo shampoo. After using these for a month, there was improvement, but now the hair fall is back. What should I do next?
According to your history it looks like androgenic alopecia if at all the above medications did work continue them as your Dermatologist advised,and balanced diet with extra protein and adequate sleep will help.
