I'm really concerned about these dark circles under my eyes. Is it safe to use mometasone cream for them? I heard about something called MMS cream, any idea what brand that is? And, by the way, are there any potential side effects I should worry about?

Avoid using Mometasone cream (brand names: MMS Cream, Elocon, Momate) for dark circles under the eyes, as it can cause side effects like skin thinning, glaucoma, cataract formation, rosacea-like symptoms, and dependence, instead consider alternative eye creams or consult a dermatologist.

I'm getting married soon and I'm worried about some nail cut marks on my face that I got from a small kid. Can you suggest ways to heal or lessen these marks before the wedding?

To remove nail cut marks on your face, try these remedies: apply topical creams like hydroquinone, kojic acid, or vitamin E oil; use natural ingredients like aloe vera, turmeric, or cucumber; gently exfoliate with a facial scrub; and consider professional treatments like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser therapy, but consult a dermatologist for personalized advice and to ensure the marks fade before your wedding.

I've recently gotten over jaundice, but now I'm dealing with some pretty bad hair loss, especially around the front. Is it normal to lose hair like this after having jaundice, and is there a chance my hair might grow back? What steps can I take to prevent or manage this hair fall?

To help with hair regrowth and prevent further hair fall, you can consider taking biotin supplements to support hair growth. Additionally, using minoxidil solution on the affected areas can also help promote hair regrowth. It is important to maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, and to avoid excessive heat styling or chemical treatments on your hair. You may also consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment options.
