I'm using Skinlite cream, and its made my skin a lot fairer, but whenever I stop using it, my skin turns darker again. I've been seeing a doctor for about six months now, but my skin hasn't improved. My face is still darker, and I really dont know what to do next. Can you recommend any effective skin lightening creams or treatments? I'm getting really worried.

I'm experiencing this prickling sensation and a lot of itching on my hands near my wrists, legs, and even on my back. It's really uncomfortable, especially during the summer. Could you suggest some remedies I could try to get some relief?

It sounds like you may be experiencing heat rash, also known as prickly heat. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try using calamine lotion on the affected areas to soothe the itching and prickling sensation. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter antihistamine like Cetirizine (10mg) once daily to help reduce itching. Make sure to stay cool and hydrated, wear loose-fitting clothing, and avoid excessive sweating to prevent further irritation.

I'm 27 years old and weigh around 110kg but struggling to lose weight. I'm also dealing with hair loss and a lot of grey hair on my head, beard, and chest. What could be causing this and are there any good clinics in Bangalore for treatments like surgery or hair colouring?

Apollo is best for it.

I'm currently using minoxidil 10 twice a day, but I'm thinking about switching to just once daily. Do you think that'll still be effective? Also, I'm taking a Keraglo Men tablet every morning after breakfast. What do you suggest?
