I'm currently using Momate cream on my face to tackle some dark spots, but I'm not sure if it's safe or effective. Could you let me know if this is a good option, or if there's another cream out there that's better for treating dark spots?

Momate cream contains mometasone, a steroid that can help reduce inflammation and itching. However, it may not be the best choice for dark spots.
For Dark Spots, Consider Alternatives
- Kojic acid cream: Helps reduce melanin production and fade dark spots.
- Hydroquinone cream: Fades dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
- Retinoid cream: Promotes cell turnover, reducing appearance of dark spots.
- Vitamin C cream: Brightens skin, reduces hyperpigmentation.
- Niacinamide cream: Improves skin hyperpigmentation and brightness.

I was diagnosed with Jaundice back in July and it took about a month for me to recover. My doctor mentioned I could eat oily foods once I was better. But even months before the Jaundice, I started losing a lot of hair, and now it's really concerning. My hair used to be thick, but now I've lost about two-thirds of it and what's left is dry and brittle. After the illness, my hemoglobin is 10.8, and the doctor said it'd return to normal eventually, so no meds were suggested. I've moved back to Bangalore and can't ask my original doctor about this hair fall issue. Could Jaundice be causing me to lose my hair? How can I get my hair back to its normal state? Is it safe to take hair fall tablets now, especially with my body still recovering? I'm also noticing that my menstrual days have become painful since my illness, though the cycle's regular. Could all these changes be connected?
Jaundice itself doesn't directly cause balding, but the underlying conditions that led to jaundice, such as liver disease or hemolytic anemia, can contribute to hair loss. Given your history of jaundice and current hair loss, it's essential to consult a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or hepatologist, to rule out any underlying liver or blood-related conditions. Regarding hair loss treatment, your doctor may recommend: 1. Iron supplements: Given your low hemoglobin (10.8), iron supplements might help. 2. Vitamin B12 injections: Jaundice can lead to vitamin B12 deficiency, which may contribute to hair loss.

I've been dealing with some really bad dandruff lately. It's not just in my scalp but the whole nose area too, which has turned red, hard, and dry. The scales that come off are either white or yellowish, and they seem kind of oily. Plus, I've got these painful boils on my nose that just won't go away. And there's a lot of itching and hairfall. I'm really worried about all thiswhat could be causing it, and how can I get some relief?
