I'm really worried about my skin and would love some advice on how to improve it naturally. I'm trying to avoid cosmetics but I have some dark spots I'd really like to clear up and I really want my skin to have that natural glow. What are some things I could be doing or avoiding to help with this?

To get good skin and a glowing face without using cosmetics, you can start by maintaining a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Drinking plenty of water helps to keep your skin hydrated and flush out toxins. Regular exercise also improves blood circulation, which can give your skin a healthy glow. Protect your skin from the sun by using sunscreen daily and wearing protective clothing. To remove dark spots, you can try using products containing ingredients like hydroquinone, retinoids, or vitamin C. These can help lighten dark spots and even out your skin tone. Additionally, incorporating a skincare routine with products like a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and exfoliant can help improve the overall appearance of your skin.

View allI'm dealing with really bad scalp itching and dandruff, and my doctor recommended using medicated shampoos with alternate-day head baths. But I have an eye surgery coming up next week and can't wash my hair for at least 15 days after. How can I manage the itching and dandruff without taking head baths during that time?
To manage dandruff and scalp itching before and after eye surgery without frequent hair washing, consider using medicated shampoos less frequently, employing natural remedies like coconut oil or apple cider vinegar rinses, and focusing on scalp hygiene with dry shampoo and gentle cleansing methods. Consult your doctor about using a medicated shampoo with a longer interval between washes or trying alternative treatments like topical corticosteroids if needed.

I'm seeing these black lines on both sides of my index fingernail and I just noticed them two days ago. Its worrying me a bit. I've been taking Amlopres AT 25 mg for my blood pressure for the past 6 years. Could this medication be related to what's happening with my nail? Or is there something else I should be concerned about?
The black lines on your nails could be due to a condition called splinter hemorrhages, which are tiny areas of bleeding under the nails. In your case, it may be related to the long-term use of Amlopres At (Amlodipine) for your blood pressure. I recommend consulting with a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis and discuss appropriate treatment options. In the meantime, you can continue taking your Amlopres At as prescribed.

I'm wondering if I can use Dewsoft cream alongside Acnetor AD for the pimples on my face. I'm dealing with quite a few, and I'm not sure if mixing these treatments is a good idea. Any advice on this?
Acne can be treated easily with facewash, tablets and creams. Some people have more oilyness on the face which results in breakouts. After completing treatment for controlling the active breakouts, tablets can be stopped and creams need to be continued to prevent recurrence. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also important. Please don't do any self treatment such as over the counter Steroid creams. Don't burst the pimples with your fingers as it can result in ugly scars. The marks and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated
