I've been dealing with a lot of khujli all over my body, and after scratching, I get these small fafole or Dane. The itching is really bad, especially in my underbody area. It's causing me a lot of trouble. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do about it?

So, my hair started turning white all of a sudden, and I'm noticing there's less of it too. Do you think PRP, you know, platelet rich plasma treatment, would be a good idea for this? I'm just worried about whether it'll help or not.

I'm using Ilumax skin brightening cream by Ajanta to help with tanning and get a fairer skin tone. I'm curious, how long does it usually take to start seeing results with this cream? Also, how long should I continue using it to maintain the fairness? I'm a bit worried about what happens after I stop using the cream. Will my skin get darker again? Any advice would be really appreciated.
