I'm noticing that every time I thread my upper lip, a white patch shows up that's lighter than my normal skin color. I've talked to a doctor online who recommended using Placentrex cream twice a day. I'm curious about how to get my skin back to its usual color. Also, I have an iron deficiencycould that be causing this? What should I do next?

that color difference is due to threading,that will heal with time no need to worry,u can use the gel as advised by your doctor,it will help in normalising the color.

I've suddenly developed a skin allergy that started yesterday afternoon, and I'm really confused because there hasn't been any change in my diet. It's now spread across my whole body, and I'm quite worried. Could it be something other than food that's causing this? What should I do next?

Lobate GN cream 15 gm for local application for atleast 2 weeks is advised to the patient,any allergic reactions kindly stop the medication advised dermat opinion.

I'm genuinely concerned about the heat in my body and how it's affecting my health. I've been getting ulcers in my mouth or on my tongue almost every month. It's really uncomfortable, and I'm starting to wonder what's causing them. Is the heat in my body connected to these frequent ulcers? How can I reduce this heat or prevent them from happening so often? Would love to hear your thoughts on this!

To decrease body heat, try: staying hydrated, wearing light clothing, taking cool showers or baths, practicing relaxation techniques like meditation or deep breathing, and avoiding spicy or heavy foods; regarding ulcers, the main reasons include: stress, hormonal changes, vitamin deficiencies (B12, iron), acidic or spicy foods, and underlying conditions like gastrointestinal issues or autoimmune disorders; to prevent monthly ulcers, consider keeping a food diary to track triggers, practicing good oral hygiene, and consulting your doctor or dentist for personalized advice.
