I've been dealing with this birthmark on my left cheek and after six rounds of laser treatment, it hasn't really lightened. I'm wondering if there are other ways to lighten birthmarks? Are there any creams or meds you'd recommend?

I'm 20 and I've started noticing something odd with my beard it's usually full dark, but now I've got about 15 hairs turning brown. I'm a bit puzzled since no one in my family, including my brother, has a brown beard. I'm trying to figure out if this is just normal or if it's a sign it might go grey soon. Could it be due to poor nutrients, or maybe too much sun exposure? What's really causing this?

Don't worry, 15 brown hairs in a full dark beard is a minor change. _Normal Variation_: It's common for beards to have a few stray hairs of different colors. _Possible Causes_: 1. _Sun exposure_: Sunlight can lighten or change hair color. 2. _Nutritional variations_: Minor fluctuations in vitamin or mineral intake might affect hair color. 3. _Hormonal changes_: Hormonal fluctuations can influence hair growth and color. _Unlikely to Turn Gray Soon_: 15 brown hairs don't indicate imminent graying. _Monitor and Maintain_: 1. _Keep an eye on changes_: If the brown hairs increase or spread, consult a doctor. 2. _Maintain a balanced diet_: Ensure adequate vitamins and minerals. 3. _Protect your beard from sun damage_: Use a hat or hair products with SPF. Consult a doctor if you're concerned or notice significant changes.

I've been noticing that my complexion has become really dull and dark recently. I used to have a pretty fair complexion, but ever since I started my weight loss journey and lost about 8 kgs by going to the gym regularly, it's like my skin has been affected negatively. I look pale and dull and have lost that bright glow. Can you suggest anything for this? Oh, and I should mention my skin is oily, prone to acne, and also quite sensitive.

To help improve your skin tone and regain the glow, you can try using a topical cream containing Vitamin C and Niacinamide. These ingredients can help brighten the skin and even out the complexion. Additionally, using a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily can protect your skin from further damage and darkening. For your oily and acne-prone skin, you can use a gentle cleanser containing salicylic acid to help control oil production and prevent breakouts.

I'm dealing with tinea cruris and used RABHICO Skin Ointment, which is similar to btex. Now I'm experiencing redness, pain, and swelling over a large area. What should I do about this reaction? Is it normal, or should I be worried?

It sounds like you may be experiencing an adverse reaction to the ointment you used. Stop using it immediately and soothe your skin with a cool compress, moisturizers, and anti-inflammatory creams. If the symptoms persist, it's essential to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis and alternative treatment for your tinea cruris.
