I've been dealing with Keratosis Pilaris on my upper arms for a few years now, and it feels like it's getting worse lately. I've been using Moisturex and Xerina ointment after my doctor recommended them, but it's been five months and I haven't noticed any improvement. I really want to find a way to get rid of this. Any suggestions?

View allI'm a 17-year-old girl struggling with a ton of pimples on my face, and the usual acne creams haven't really worked out for me. I'm wondering if Metrogyl Gel could be effective for treating my acne?
Metrogyl Gel, containing metronidazole, is primarily used to treat rosacea, a skin condition characterized by redness, inflammation, and acne-like symptoms. While it might help with acne, its effectiveness for this purpose is limited. For acne treatment, consider the following: 1. Benzoyl peroxide-based creams or gels (2.5% or 5%) for mild to moderate acne. 2. Salicylic acid-based products (0.5% or 2%) for blackheads and whiteheads. 3. Sulfur-based products for their antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Consult a dermatologist for personalized advice and treatment. They may prescribe topical or oral medications, such as retinoids, antibiotics, or hormonal treatments, depending on your acne severity and type.

Ive noticed that my pubic area has become quite dark, and there are blackheads and small boils not just there but also on my thighs. Is this something I should be worried about, and what can I do about it?

I'm experiencing excessive hair fall right from the roots over the past three months, and I'm a bit concerned. I've been eating eggs, almonds (badam), and dates every day, thinking they might help. I've also been using almond oil on my hair daily, but it seems like I lose more hair after applying it. Could the oil be causing this? I don't think I have any dandruff issues. Any advice on what might be going on or what I should try?
Applying oil to the hair can sometimes lead to hair fall if not done properly or if the oil is not suitable for your scalp. Since you are already taking a healthy diet with eggs, almonds (badam), and dates, you may consider adding a biotin supplement to promote hair growth. Additionally, you can try using minoxidil solution on the scalp to help with hair regrowth. Make sure to consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.
