I've been dealing with keratosis pilaris for nearly a decade, and I've tried everything, including chemical peels. It's all over my shoulders, legs, thighs, and buttocks. I'm looking for a doctor who can help reduce its appearance. Plus, I've started experiencing a lot of hair fall and have lost a significant amount of hair. Any advice on managing these issues?
Consider consulting a dermatologist specializing in keratosis pilaris, who may recommend customized treatments such as microdermabrasion, laser therapy, or intense pulsed light (IPL) to reduce visibility, and also investigate the hair loss, potentially related to keratosis pilaris or an underlying condition, to develop a comprehensive treatment plan addressing both concerns.

I've been dealing with a pimple on my face for about 3 to 4 months, and I used Dettol on it. My skin burned in that spot, and now the burned skin is gone, but a black mark is left behind. It's getting darker as days go by. What can I do about it?
The dark mark, likely a post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) scar, can be treated with topical creams or serums containing ingredients like hydroquinone, kojic acid, or niacinamide; consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and personalized advice, and in the meantime, use sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily and avoid picking or scratching the area to prevent further darkening.
