I'm noticing that the skin around my inner thighs has darkened and it's gotten really itchy. The area is super dry, and when I scratch it, the skin starts shedding. It's quite uncomfortable. Do you know what might be causing this or how I can treat it?

I've been struggling with dark circles under my eyes for about 7 to 8 years now, and I'm really looking for some advice on how to get rid of them. Could you suggest any effective ways or treatments?

Dark circles under the eyes can be caused by various factors such as lack of sleep, stress, allergies, or genetics. To help reduce dark circles, you can try using an over-the-counter cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid to lighten the skin. Additionally, make sure to get an adequate amount of sleep, stay hydrated, and protect your skin from sun exposure by using sunscreen. You can also try placing cold compresses or cucumber slices on your eyes to reduce puffiness. If these measures do not improve your dark circles, you may consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

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.
