I'm really confused about why my doctor prescribed desonide for my hair loss and dandruff issues. Can it actually help with hair regrowth, or is it just for treating the dandruff? I'm worried because I didn't expect this kind of treatment for hair problems. Could you help me understand how desonide fits into this?

View allI've had dark knees and elbows for as long as I can remember, and it's really becoming a hassle, especially when I want to wear skirts, sleeveless tops, or dresses. I'm curious if there's any effective treatment to lighten these dark spots.
Dark knees and elbows can be frustrating. Don't worry, there are treatments to help: *Topical Treatments* 1. *Moisturizers*: Use rich moisturizers containing shea butter, coconut oil, or olive oil. 2. *Exfoliating creams*: Creams with alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) help remove dead skin cells. 3. *Skin brightening creams*: Creams containing ingredients like kojic acid, vitamin C, or niacinamide can help reduce hyperpigmentation. *Home Remedies* 1. *Sugar scrub*: Exfoliate with a sugar scrub to remove dead skin cells. 2. *Lemon juice*: Apply lemon juice to help brighten the skin. 3. *Turmeric paste*: Mix turmeric powder with lemon juice or yogurt to create a paste that can help reduce hyperpigmentation. *Professional Treatments* 1. *Chemical peels*: A dermatologist can perform chemical peels to exfoliate the skin and reduce hyperpigmentation. 2. *Microdermabrasion*: This non-invasive exfoliating treatment can help improve skin texture and tone. 3. *Laser therapy*: Laser treatments can help reduce hyperpigmentation and improve skin texture.

I've been using serum for around 4 months, and now my hair feels really weak. They fall out even when I just run my hand through them. I think they've lost their strength. I realized I was applying the serum wrong, directly on the scalp before combing. I've stopped using it now, but I'm worried. What can I do to speed up the process of strengthening my hair again?

I'm experiencing a lot of hair loss lately and I'm thinking about starting biotin capsules. Should I just go ahead and start taking them, or do I need to consult with a doctor first? Also, are there any side effects I should be concerned about?
You can consider taking biotin capsules, but consulting a dermatologist is recommended, especially if you're experiencing excessive hair loss, to rule out underlying conditions, and biotin is generally safe, but high doses may cause mild side effects like stomach upset, diarrhea, or skin rashes, so start with a low dose (2,500-3,000 mcg) and monitor your body's response.
