I've been dealing with malar bags and someone mentioned it might be due to an underactive thyroid. If that's true, could medication help improve them? I've been using tretinoin and taking a collagen supplement, but these bags really make me look older. Are there any other treatments or options you would suggest for these slight malar bags?

Question

I'm noticing some kind of white powder on my head, and I'm pretty sure it's not dandruff. I've tried a bunch of remedies, but nothing seems to help. My scalp feels really itchy, especially when I go from a cool place to a warmer one. What could this be, and how can I make it better?

Question

I've been using Thrive hair serum and shampoo for about a month now, and I'm wondering if it's really a good product. I've noticed that sometimes after washing, I experience hair fall, around 20 to 25 strands. Can you suggest how I can control this?

Question

I've been using Dremz ultra cream for post-inflammatory pigmentation for about two weeks now. I'm wondering if it's okay to keep using it for a longer period of time, and how would I know when to stop? Also, are there any side effects if I suddenly stop using it? Could you explain all this to me in detail?
