I'm struggling a bit with dandruff and it's really getting to me. Every time I use a medicated shampoo, my hair ends up feeling super dry and rough. I'm on the hunt for a shampoo that not only helps tackle the dandruff but also adds some shine and volume to my hair. Do you have any recommendations?

View allI've been dealing with this problem for the past two years. Every time I take medication, it disappears, but after a few months, it's back again. I've been on meds for 2 to 3 months regularly, and it's frustrating because not only has my weight increased, but the issue still isn't going away completely. It's getting worse now, as the fungal infection is spreading to my private parts. I'm using sapat lotion and cream, which gives me some temporary relief, but I really want to get rid of it for good. What do you suggest I do to solve this from the root?

I'm noticing that my lower lip is usually pink, or sometimes even red, but my upper lip is much darker and doesn't match the lower one at all. It's kinda annoying, and I'm wondering what might be causing this difference. Can you suggest what I could do about it?
To help lighten the color of your upper lip, you can try using a lip lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. Apply a thin layer of the cream on your upper lip once or twice a day. Additionally, using a lip balm with SPF can help protect your lips from further darkening due to sun exposure.

I've noticed a dark horizontal line on my nose after I used to pick at the whiteheads there. It's been a year, and while it's faded slightly, it's still pretty visible. Should I be concerned? Do I need to get treatment for this, or will it just fade away over time?
It sounds like you may have developed post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation on your nose due to the picking and peeling of the skin. To help fade the dark line on your nose, you can consider using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, and a corticosteroid. An example of such a cream is Tri-Luma, which can be applied once daily in the evening. Make sure to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin and prevent further darkening. If the dark line persists or worsens, it's best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
