I'm struggling a lot with melasma and it's been going on for about 2 years now. I've seen so many doctors and tried different treatments, but nothing seems to work. Is there a permanent solution to this issue? It's getting quite frustrating.

Consult a dermatologist for personalized treatment, and consider combination therapies like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, laser therapy, and topical creams containing hydroquinone, kojic acid, or retinoids, which can help manage melasma, although a complete cure is challenging.

I've been dealing with some issues ever since I took phosphorus 30c when I was younger, around 14-18 years old. I think it might've helped increase my hair back then, but now it seems like I'm facing some side effects. I've developed seborrheic dermatitis, and even though I wash my hair daily with shampoo, small hairs keep falling from my scalp. It's been impossible to grow my hair long without things getting worse. It's been around 5 years now, and I'm really struggling. Do you think the phosphorus might've caused this, and what can I do to improve my situation?

I've been using Deriva BPO gel for about a week now, but I haven't noticed any improvements in my acne. In fact, I'm seeing more whiteheads appearing on my acne every day. Is this how the gel is supposed to work, or will it actually help clear up my acne?
