I'm noticing my skin color is getting darker, and I'm not sure why. I've been following a good diet and usually stay indoors, so I don't think it's a sunburn issue. I used to drink less water, but now I'm having about six glasses a day. My skin used to be fair, and I'm feeling a bit worried about this change. I do eat a lot of warm foodscould that be affecting my skin tone? I'm just puzzled and need some advice on what could be causing this.

You may be experiencing skin darkening due to various factors. One possible reason could be increased melanin production in response to sun exposure, even if you are indoors most of the time. Another reason could be hormonal changes or certain medications that can cause skin darkening. To address this issue, you can try using a topical cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid to lighten the skin. Additionally, you can consider taking Vitamin C supplements or using Vitamin C serums to help brighten your skin. Make sure to continue staying hydrated and maintaining a healthy diet. If the issue persists, I recommend consulting a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

I've noticed that the skin inside my mouth is peeling off in layers, but I dont feel any pain when it happens. It's kind of concerning, and I'm not sure what's causing it. Can anyone help me understand why this might be happening?
The peeling of skin inside your mouth, also known as oral mucosal desquamation, can be caused by various factors, including vitamin deficiencies (B12, iron, or zinc), oral lichen planus, mucositis, or irritation from dental work, mouthwashes, or certain foods; given the absence of pain, it's likely a benign condition, but consulting a dentist or oral pathologist for a thorough examination and guidance is recommended to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
