I'm wondering if it's a good idea to use lacto calamine for treating dark spots. Im also curious if it could end up making my skin look dull or even darker. Is this something I should be concerned about?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Lacto Calamine can be used to treat dark spots on the skin. It contains ingredients like zinc oxide and glycerin which help in reducing dark spots and improving skin tone. It is unlikely to make your skin dull or darker. Apply a thin layer of lacto calamine on the affected areas twice a day for best results.

I've been dealing with sinus issues for two years now and to help with the headaches, I've been using Zandu Balm on my forehead. But over the past year, I've noticed that part of my forehead has turned completely black. Do you have any idea what's going on or how I can stop this from happening?
The use of Zandu balm on your forehead for an extended period has led to a condition called "contact leukoderma" or "chemical leukoderma." What is Contact Leukoderma? Contact leukoderma is a condition where the skin loses its pigmentation due to exposure to certain chemicals or substances. In your case, the prolonged use of Zandu balm has caused the skin on your forehead to lose its pigmentation, resulting in the black discoloration. How to Avoid Further Discoloration? 1. Stop using Zandu balm: Immediately discontinue the use of Zandu balm on the affected area to prevent further discoloration. 2. Consult a dermatologist: Schedule an appointment with a dermatologist to assess the affected area and provide guidance on treatment options. 3. Use sun protection: Avoid exposing the affected area to direct sunlight, as this can worsen the discoloration. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 when going outdoors. 4. Avoid further irritation: Refrain from using harsh skin care products, exfoliating, or using hot water on the affected area, as this can cause further irritation and discoloration.

I'm curious about what happens when you eat milk and milk products along with fish. Can this combo cause skin issues or any other health problems?
Eating milk or milk products with fish is generally safe and does not cause skin diseases or major health issues. The idea of such a combination causing problems is a myth, but if you have specific allergies or sensitivities, it could lead to mild digestive discomfort.
