I'm really curious about ways to improve skin fairness for both adults and kids. Are fruits alone enough for achieving this? I've heard about some skin fairness treatments at your hospitalcould you tell me more about how they actually work?

Improving skin fairness requires a combination of healthy habits, dietary changes, and medical treatments. Fruits are beneficial, but not enough on their own.
Healthy Habits
- Sun protection: Use sunscreen (SPF 30+) and protective clothing to prevent UV damage.
- Hydration: Drink plenty of water to maintain skin health.
- Exercise: Regular physical activity promotes overall well-being.
- Sleep: Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep per night to help skin regeneration.
Dietary Changes
- Fruits: Consume fruits rich in antioxidants (berries, citrus fruits, apples).
- Leafy greens: Eat leafy greens (spinach, kale, collard greens) for their antioxidant properties.
- Nuts and seeds: Include nuts and seeds (almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds) for their healthy fats and antioxidants.
- Omega-3 rich foods: Consume omega-3 rich foods (salmon, walnuts, chia seeds) for their anti-inflammatory properties.
Medical Treatments
- Chemical peels: Exfoliates the skin, reducing hyperpigmentation.
- Microdermabrasion: Non-invasive exfoliating treatment.
- Laser skin rejuvenation: Stimulates collagen production, reducing fine lines and hyperpigmentation.
- Skin brightening creams: Containing ingredients like kojic acid, vitamin C, or niacinamide.
Skin Fairness Treatments
- Glutathione injections: Antioxidant that helps reduce melanin production.
- Vitamin C injections: Antioxidant that promotes collagen production and skin brightening.
- Skin brightening facials: Customized facials using brightening agents like vitamin C, kojic acid, or licorice

View allI'm 25 and starting to notice my hair turning grey, and it's really stressing me out. I tried CB 100 and KeraBlak tablets for about 3 months, but unfortunately, I didn't see any improvement. I'm feeling a bit lost about what I should do next. Is there something else you would recommend? Are there other reasons this could be happening at my age?
Capsule evion and biotin capsulses are advised for 3 months orally.

I've got this boil in my underarm that's developed these tiny mouths or openings on it. The doctor prescribed me Ultimox 625, then switched to Linox 600, and gave me Fusiderm cream to apply. I'm just really anxious if this treatment will actually get rid of the boil for good. What do you think?

I've been living near Darjeeling, and just recently, I returned from a short trip to my hometown Nashik. Since coming back, I've noticed these dark patches around my waist and underarms. What could be causing this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called acanthosis nigricans, which is characterized by dark, velvety patches of skin. This can be caused by various factors such as obesity, insulin resistance, hormonal disorders, or certain medications. To help improve this condition, you can try using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, retinoids, or azelaic acid to lighten the dark patches. Additionally, maintaining a healthy weight through diet and exercise can also be beneficial. I recommend using a cream like Melalite Forte cream twice daily on the affected areas for 8-12 weeks. Make sure to apply a thin layer and avoid sun exposure on the treated areas. If the dark patches persist or worsen, it is best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
