I'm seeing these small brown spots popping up on my skin more often, and I'm really starting to worry. Could it be something serious?

I recently shaved my head, something I haven't done since childhood, and now I'm seeing these white patches all over my scalp. It's really gross and embarrassing. I've had dandruff issues before, but this looks different. What could this be, and how can I get rid of it permanently? Any advice would be really appreciated.

I'm a bit concerned because the skin around my waist and knees is noticeably darker compared to the rest of my body. I'm fairly light-skinned, so it really stands out. Is there a way to even out the complexion in those areas to match the rest of my skin?

The darker skin in the waist and knee regions could be due to a condition called acanthosis nigricans, which is often associated with insulin resistance or obesity. To help improve the complexion in these areas, you can try using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, which can help lighten the skin. You can apply a cream like Melalite cream or Skinlite cream once daily in the affected areas. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF daily can also help prevent further darkening of the skin. Remember to consult a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I'm really worried about my mom. She had submucous fibrosis a few years back and got it treated, but now it seems to be happening again with her skin. Do you think homeopathy could help with this condition? How long might it take for the treatment to be effective this time? It's just so frustrating that this problem keeps coming back.

Oral submucous fibrosis is a chronic condition and usually there is no permanent cure for this condition. Treatment is aimed at improving mouth opening and identifying causes and avoiding them so that it does not worsen. She needs to be evaluated by oral surgeon for further treatment
