I've been dealing with really dark and pigmented knees, and it's super embarrassing. I've tried using brightening creams and even a bunch of home remedies, but nothing seems to work. Could you recommend any medication or treatment that might help?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Dark and pigmented knees can be a cosmetic concern. Here are some suggestions:
Topical Treatments
- Hydroquinone cream: A common treatment for hyperpigmentation. However, use it under a dermatologist's guidance.
- Kojic acid cream: Helps reduce melanin production and hyperpigmentation.
- Retinoid cream: Derivatives of vitamin A that can help reduce hyperpigmentation.
Home Remedies
- Lemon juice and honey: Mix equal parts lemon juice and honey, apply to knees, and rinse after 20 minutes.
- Cucumber and turmeric: Grate cucumber, mix with turmeric powder, and apply to knees.
- Coconut oil and sugar: Mix coconut oil and sugar, gently scrub knees, and rinse.

View allI'm dealing with a fungal infection that's been sticking around for about three years. I'm really into non-veg food, and I'm wondering if it's okay for me to continue eating it with my condition. If it's fine, could you suggest what kind of non-veg options would be best for me? I'm a bit confused and would really appreciate your advice!
There is no indication that you are not supposed to eat non veg if you have Fungal infection,avoid foods that your allergic to, otherwise you can have nonveg food of your choice but in a healthy way and limited quantity.

I'm wondering why my palms and feet sometimes get really hot, even though I don't have any other issues. I don't have a burning or tingling sensation, and my body temperature is normal, but it's just that my palms and feet feel really hot at times. What could be causing this?
The intermittent hot palms and feet without any other symptoms or medical conditions could be attributed to various factors, including anxiety or stress, overactive thyroid (although you mentioned no medical conditions), hormonal fluctuations, poor circulation, or sympathetic nervous system response; to alleviate symptoms, try relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or yoga, wear breathable clothing and socks, and soak your hands and feet in cool water when they become hot, but if the issue persists, consult a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying conditions.
