I'm curious if there are any side effects of using Glyaha Koj lotion. A dermatologist recommended it to me for removing a tan and it's been really effective for me, so I keep using it when I get tanned. Could there be any negative effects from using this lotion?

Glyaha Koj lotion, containing kojic acid, is generally considered safe for skin brightening and tan removal, but long-term or excessive use may lead to side effects like skin irritation, redness, itching, or dryness, and rare cases of allergic contact dermatitis have been reported, so continue using it with caution and discontinue if you experience any adverse reactions.

View allI'm really worried because for the past three months, I've been experiencing a lot of hair loss, with hair even coming out from the root. I decided to switch to using castor oil, almond oil, and Dove shampoo to see if it helps. Do you think this is a good approach or is there something else I should be considering?

My sister has multiple lipomas growing on her back, and they've increased from one or two to many. Several dermatologists have said there's no solution except counting them and monitoring. Is there any other way to treat lipomas without surgery? What options do we have?

I've been dealing with acne scars and I'm breastfeeding my 5-month-old baby. I'm thinking about using tretinoin tretin 0.05% cream on my face to help with the scars and acne, but I'm really worried if this could affect my baby through breastfeeding. Is it safe for me to use this cream or should I avoid it while I'm nursing? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
While tretinoin (Tretin 0.05%) is effective for acne and scars, it's not recommended for breastfeeding mothers, as it's a topical retinoid that can be absorbed into the bloodstream and potentially pass into breast milk, posing a risk to your 5-month-old baby; instead, consider alternative treatments, such as azelaic acid, salicylic acid, or glycolic acid, and consult your doctor or a dermatologist for personalized advice.
