I'm curious about why my nose is darker than the rest of my face. It's oily and sometimes I get whiteheads. Can you help me figure out how to even out my skin tone?

The darker nose tone, oiliness, and whiteheads may be due to hyperpigmentation, excess sebum production, and clogged pores, respectively, and to achieve an even tone, try using a sunscreen, clay-based face masks, salicylic acid or glycolic acid products, and consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice.

I'm dealing with vitiligo, those safed daag, and I'm really worried. I've had it since 2004 and I'm 20 now. Is there any chance it can be cured?

Vitiligo is a long-term skin condition characterized by patches of the skin losing their pigment. While there is no known cure for vitiligo, there are treatment options available to help manage the condition and improve the appearance of the skin. Some common treatments include topical corticosteroids like Clobetasol propionate cream applied to the affected areas twice daily, phototherapy using UVB light, and calcineurin inhibitors like Tacrolimus ointment. It is important to consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

I stopped using the 10% Minoxidil for a couple of months because of some personal reasons. I'm thinking about starting it again, but I'm a bit concerned if this break will affect how well it works. Could you let me know what to expect?

Hi Prasad, if you have stopped applying 10% Minoxidil for two months and want to start using it again, there may be a temporary decrease in effectiveness initially. However, with consistent and continued use, you should start to see results again. Remember to apply 10% Minoxidil twice daily as directed for optimal results.
