I've been dealing with perioral dermatitis and using Desowen lotion has been really helpful. However, I recently found out I'm pregnant and read somewhere that it's not safe anymore. Are there any non-steroid alternatives to this lotion that I could use during pregnancy? I'm a bit concerned and would love some advice.

I'm really worried because I've been experiencing massive hair loss after having dengue fever. My dermatologist tells me it's called Telogen Effluvium. Every day, it feels like my hair is just falling out in chunks, and I'm terrified that I might lose all of it soon. In just two weeks, I've lost half of my hair, and it's really shaking my confidence to the point where I just want to hide away. I'm wondering if I should start wearing a wig and just hope for the best. Is there any chance my hair will grow back, or should I be prepared for the possibility of going bald? This whole thing is incredibly stressful and I'm struggling to cope. Looking for some advice on what I should do.

I've been using Skinshine cream for about 4 months, but I stopped using it 2 months ago and now my face is darker and I've got a lot of pimples. I'm really concerned about what's happening. What should I do?

Is there any surgery or treatment that can reverse white hair and bring back my natural black color? I started getting white hair when I was just 15, and now at 33, it's becoming more noticeable. I'm curious if there's a way to treat this and restore my original hair color.

No, there is no known surgery or treatment that can reverse white hair and restore the natural black color if the cause is genetic or aging. Once a hair follicle loses its ability to produce melanin, the pigment responsible for hair color, it will no longer produce colored hair strands. However, if premature graying is due to underlying health issues or nutritional deficiencies, addressing these factors may help to slow down or even reverse the process.
