I'm dealing with hair fall for the past three months and it's really worrying me. Are those shampoo-based hair colors, like Indica or Streaks, which you get in Rs 30 sachet packs, safe to use every couple of months? Also, is there any way we can stop hair from greying or falling out using medicines? And if I do decide to color, which brand would be the best pick?

View allI've got milia under my eyes and I'm really curious if there's a way to treat them permanently. Also, what kind of precautions can I take to stop them from coming back once they're treated? I'm just looking for some advice to better understand my options.
Yes, milia can be treated permanently with professional extraction or other treatments. To prevent recurrence: 1. Maintain good skincare habits. 2. Use sunscreen daily. 3. Avoid heavy skincare products. 4. Keep hands away from the area. 5. Exfoliate regularly. For milia under the eyes, consider: 1. Consulting a dermatologist for professional extraction. 2. Using eye creams with retinol or salicylic acid. 3. Gently exfoliating the area with a chemical exfoliant.

I'm 28 and have always struggled with oily skin, and that means dealing with pimples and their marks constantly. A few months back, I tried retino a with eukroma cream in a chickpea-sized amount, and after 3 months, my skin was looking great. But I stopped using eukroma and now all the pimples and marks are back. Should I start using eukroma again or is there a different approach I should consider? Any thoughts on what I can do to get rid of these spots once and for all?
Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.

I'm dealing with an itchy patch on my skin around the groin, and it's forming scales and wrinkles. I've tried all types of fungal and bacterial creams, but nothing seems to work. I'm really worried and not sure what to do next. Could you please help me figure out what's going on and how I can get some relief?
our symptoms are suggestive of tinea cruris(jock itch). Tine cruris is a fungal infection in the groin area. It affects mostly adult men. It's caused by a type of fungus called dermatophytes. Dermatophytes like to grow on skin that's moist and warm and thrive in areas where skin comes into contact with other skin, such as the groin or between the toes. You will have to keep the groin dry, have an antifungal tablet, antacid and a topical antifungal over the area. The following steps may help: - Avoid using oily skin products - Reduce your exposure to the sun. Exposure to sun may trigger or worsen an episode and a tan makes the rash more visible. - Do not wear tight clothing. - Change undergarments regularly - Wear breathable fabrics such as cotton to decrease the sweating. - Keep areas where there is sweat accumulation dry regularly and apply powder in those areas to reduce the moisture. If the problem is persistent or worsens I would advise you to meet a dermatologist.
