I'm really struggling with dark circles under my eyes and would love some advice on what treatments might actually work. Are there any specific things I should try applying? Any suggestions to help reduce them would be great.

Dark circles 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 eye cream containing Vitamin C and Vitamin K. I recommend using "Cetaphil Hydrating Eye Gel-Cream" twice a day, in the morning and evening. Additionally, make sure to get an adequate amount of sleep, stay hydrated, and manage your stress levels to help improve the appearance of dark circles.

View allI've been dealing with this annoying acne problem for quite some time now. It keeps showing up, disappearing, and then coming back again. My current derm has put me on tretiva 30, and Ive also done chemical peels about eight times. Yet, Im still getting these pesky pimples. Im curious if I should continue with my current treatment or try something different. What do you think?
It's great that you're already consulting a dermatologist for your acne concerns. Given your 7-8 year history with acne, it's not surprising that it's been a persistent issue. Tretiva 30 mg and chemical peels: 1. Tretiva 30 mg: This medication, containing isotretinoin, is commonly used to treat severe acne. The fact that your acne has reduced considerably is a positive sign. 2. Chemical peels: These can help improve skin texture, reduce acne scars, and control acne. Having done 8 sessions in 3 months is a good effort. Pimples persisting: Despite the treatments, pimples persisting can be frustrating. This might be due to various factors, such as: 1. Hormonal fluctuations: Acne can be influenced by hormonal changes. 2. Bacterial resistance: Acne-causing bacteria might develop resistance to treatments. 3. Skin care routine: Inconsistent or inadequate skin care might contribute to persistent acne. 4. Underlying skin conditions: Conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, or inflammatory bowel disease can increase the risk of acne.

I just got my blood test results and saw that my absolute eosinophil count is 700 cumm. Do you think this means I have an allergy? Could you let me know what I should do about it?
An absolute eosinophil count of 700 cumm may indicate an allergic reaction or an infection. To help reduce your symptoms, you can take Tablet Loratadine 10mg once daily for allergy relief. Additionally, you can use an over-the-counter nasal spray like Fluticasone propionate 50mcgspray, 2 sprays in each nostril once daily for nasal congestion. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm 27 years old and weigh around 110kg but struggling to lose weight. I'm also dealing with hair loss and a lot of grey hair on my head, beard, and chest. What could be causing this and are there any good clinics in Bangalore for treatments like surgery or hair colouring?
Apollo is best for it.
