I'm wondering if clindamycin phosphate gel works well for oily, acne-prone skin. I tried it because a doctor recommended it to me, but I haven't noticed any improvement. I checked with a dermatologist in Jaipur who mentioned that it might not be effective due to hormonal changes, especially since I recently got married. Does that sound right to you? Is there something else I should consider?

View allI have these stubborn stitch marks on my face and they're really bothering me. What's the best way to get rid of them completely? Would laser treatment or surgery work better, or should I try cosmetic creams or gels first? Any recommendations for specific products that might help?
To minimize the appearance of stitch marks on the face, a combination of topical treatments, professional interventions, and good skincare practices can be helpful. While surgical scar revision or laser treatments may offer more significant results, starting with topical creams and gels is a good first step.

I've noticed this dark patch appearing on my temple, right between my forehead and nose. The skin texture feels normal, not rough or anything, but it looks like it's just more tanned than the rest of my face. I'm pretty sure it's not actually a tan. What can I do to make it go away?
This black patch could be a condition called melasma, which is a common skin problem causing dark, discolored patches on the skin. To help fade the black patch, you can use a cream containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, and a corticosteroid. An example of such a cream is Tri-Luma, which should be applied once daily in the evening. Additionally, using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily can help prevent further darkening of the skin. Remember to consult with a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I've been experiencing hair loss from the center of my head, and it's definitely not a genetic issue. I've been using Navratna oil consistently for four years and have also been doing intense physical exercise to lose 28 kgs, while avoiding protein-rich foods. Could these habits be the reason for my hair loss? What treatments do you recommend?
