I've been dealing with lichen planus pigmentosus and it's left some noticeable acne on my face. I'm really into makeup and I've been wondering if it's okay to use it to cover up these spots. I just want to make sure I'm not going to make things worse or do something that could harm my skin. Could using makeup cause any issues with acne from lichen planus pigmentosus? What should I consider before applying anything?

It is generally safe to apply makeup to hide acne caused by lichen planus pigmentosus. However, it is important to choose non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic makeup products to avoid exacerbating the acne. You can use a gentle cleanser, apply a non-comedogenic moisturizer, and then use a concealer or foundation to cover the acne. Additionally, you can consider using topical treatments prescribed by your dermatologist to treat the underlying lichen planus pigmentosus.

View allI moved to Pune about a year and a half ago, and since then I've been dealing with a lot of hair fall. It's pretty bad, like my hair comes out in full strands and in big bunches, especially when I shower. It's really worrying because my hair volume is down to about a third of what it used to be. I'm really stressed about it and was hoping you could help me figure out what might be going on and how to fix it.
Consider consulting a trichologist or dermatologist in Pune to diagnose the underlying cause of your excessive hair fall, which could be related to the city's hard water, climate change, or other environmental factors, and they can recommend personalized treatments, such as medicated shampoos, hair growth serums, or low-level laser therapy (LLLT), to help address your hair loss concerns.
