I'm really worried about my hair. Over the last four months, I've noticed my hair is falling out a lot, and it's getting really thin. Are there any specific medicines or lotions you'd recommend? I'm really hoping to get my hair back to being thick and long soon.

I'm really worried because my skin has become much darker over the past few years, and I just want to get back to my natural skin tone. It's really surprising how dark my skin has become, and I'm wondering if theres any permanent treatment, medicine, or lotion that can help prevent sun tan and other causes of skin darkening. Do you have any advice or suggestions?

I'm dealing with a lot of acne on my face, and they leave these dark spots that just won't go away. Right now, I'm using NO MARKS cream and also taking Evion 400 and roxy 150 tablets. I'm a bit worried, thoughis this okay for me to continue using, or could it be causing any harm?
Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. Acne usually appears on your face, neck, chest, back and shoulders. Effective treatments are available, but acne can be persistent. The pimples and bumps heal slowly, and when one begins to go away, others seem to crop up. Wash problem areas with a gentle cleanser. Twice a day, use your hands to wash your face with a mild soap and warm water. If you tend to develop acne around your hairline, shampoo your hair every day. Avoid certain products, such as facial scrubs, astringents and masks, because they tend to irritate skin, which can worsen acne. Excessive washing and scrubbing also can irritate skin. And be gentle while shaving affected skin. Avoid irritants. You may want to avoid oily or greasy cosmetics, sunscreens, hairstyling products or acne concealers. Use products labeled water-based or noncomedogenic, which means they are less likely to cause acne. Use an oil-free moisturizer with sunscreen. For some people, the sun worsens acne. And some acne medications make you more susceptible to the sun's rays. Check with your doctor to see if your medication is one of these. If it is, stay out of the sun as much as possible. Regularly use a nonoily (noncomedogenic) moisturizer that includes a sunscreen. Watch what touches your skin. Keep your hair clean and off your face. Also avoid resting your hands or objects, such as telephone receivers, on your face. Tight clothing or hats also can pose a problem, especially if you're sweating. Sweat and oils can contribute to acne. Don't pick or squeeze blemishes. Doing so can cause infection or scarring
