I'm dealing with oral lichen planus and I'm having a hard time finding a toothpaste. I'm looking for something that doesn't have sodium laurel sulfate, fluoride, mint, or menthol. Do you have any recommendations?

Biotene toothpaste. It is free from SLS, fluoride, mint, and menthol, making it suitable for individuals with oral lichen planus. Use it twice daily for effective oral care.

View allI'm in Delhi and dealing with a lot of hairfall. I'm pretty sure it's the water here because there's a lot of salt in it, and it just builds up on my scalp like dandruff. I've tried different oils and shampoos, but nothing seems to be working. I've been oiling my hair regularly, but it's not making any difference. Any advice on what I can do?

I'm really confused about what's going on with my skin. I've been noticing some uneven tone and these dark patches, especially near my nose. I'm trying to figure out if this is due to tanning or if it's something to do with pigmentation. Can you help me understand the difference between the two?
Tanning is the skin's natural response to exposure to UV radiation, leading to the darkening of the skin. It is usually temporary and fades away as the skin regenerates. On the other hand, pigmentation refers to the color of the skin, which can be affected by various factors such as genetics, hormones, and sun exposure. Dark patches near the nose could be a result of both tanning and pigmentation issues. To address this, you can use a topical cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid to lighten the dark patches. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF daily can help prevent further darkening of the skin.

I'm trying to decide between the regular Depiwhite cream and the Depiwhite Advanced depigmenting cream. Are they the same, or is the Advanced version better? What would be best for me to use?
