I'm dealing with ichthyosis, and I just found out about it. I'm 24 and really worried about my super dry, flaky skin. Can you provide some advice or solutions for managing this condition?

I've been noticing a lot of people using Vaseline on their skin as some sort of moisture barrier, and I'm really not sure if that's safe or even right for me. I have combination skin that's also pretty acne-prone, and I'm worried about whether Vaseline could potentially mess things up. Do you think it's safe for me to try it, or should I steer clear?

there many other moisturizers made for facial skin, you opt for one among them,using moisturizer is healthy to protect your skin from pollution and light and also temperature variations.

I've been using Melacare for a long time, but then I started traveling a lot for work between Pune and Mumbai, and my skin is now completely sunburned and darker. I used to be fair, but now my skin is almost black, and it's a lot. Can I start using Melacare again? Will that help me get my skin back to how it was before? I'm really worried about showing my face to anyone right now and could really use your advice.

I'm really worried because I've been using indigo powder to color my hair, and it's left me with black spots on my face from my cheeks to my ears. At first, it was red and burning, and then it turned black. I saw a doctor who gave me Biluma and Physiogel to apply, but the spots still haven't gone away. What else can I do to get rid of these spots? I'm feeling kinda stuck and would really appreciate some advice.

That could be keratosis pilaris ,maintain personal hygiene,apply moisturizer twice a day,it takes time to hela but will be cured no need to worry.
