I'm really worried about my mom. She's dealing with this skin disease called sappi in Telugu, and it's affecting the right side of her face. It looks like it's covered in water bubbles and that side is swollen. What could this be and how should we go about treating it?

I've got some trouble with acne on my nose and I'm noticing dark spots on my face, especially where I previously had acne. It's been a bit worrying as these dark spots are sticking around after the acne has cleared up. I also see the same issue with dark spots and acne on my nose. What can I do to get rid of these dark spots? Any advice would be really helpful!

Usually acne scars would fade with time, visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment.

I'm experiencing excessive hair fall right from the roots over the past three months, and I'm a bit concerned. I've been eating eggs, almonds (badam), and dates every day, thinking they might help. I've also been using almond oil on my hair daily, but it seems like I lose more hair after applying it. Could the oil be causing this? I don't think I have any dandruff issues. Any advice on what might be going on or what I should try?

Applying oil to the hair can sometimes lead to hair fall if not done properly or if the oil is not suitable for your scalp. Since you are already taking a healthy diet with eggs, almonds (badam), and dates, you may consider adding a biotin supplement to promote hair growth. Additionally, you can try using minoxidil solution on the scalp to help with hair regrowth. Make sure to consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

I'm an 18-year-old and my hair is just so smooth and silky that it keeps falling out, and it's really hard to keep any hairstyle in place because of that. I'm really hoping to find some solutions to make my hair a bit rougher so I can actually style it the way I want. What can I do to get that kind of texture?

Consider using hair products containing ingredients like sea salt, texturizing sprays, or dry shampoo to add volume and texture, or try hairstyles that work with silky hair, such as braids, buns, or ponytails, and for a more permanent solution, consult a Dermatologist
