Question 1

Ive been dealing with some small acne on my face and went to a dermatologist about a month ago. He prescribed some medicines after examining me, but unfortunately, the acne hasn't improved. The medications were Phexin 500 mg, Doxy 1 LR 100 mg capsules, Zitcare, and Acnovate gel. Should I keep using these or try something different?

One option is the "Neutrogena Pore Refining Moisturizer," which contains retinol and beta hydroxy acid to help reduce the size of pores. Another option is the "La Roche-Posay Effaclar Pore-Refining Anti-Aging Serum," which contains glycolic acid and micro-exfoliating lipo-hydroxy acid to tighten pores.

Question 6

I'm noticing a lot of premature grey hairs and it seems like they're increasing every day. Do you have any advice or solutions for this?

Accepted Answer

Greying of hair is a normal aging process which starts around 30 as the melanocytes activity of the body slows down and gradually the melanin production in hair stops. If it is happening before this age, it is called premature greying. This can be genetic and also due to deficiency of essential vitamins and minerals. The hairs which have already turned white cannot be turned back to black. But you can delay the process of greying of hair by some lifestyle modifications. Take adequate sleep and drink lots of water, eat lots of fruits and green leafy vegetables. Few tablets can also be prescribed for the same. there is also one lotion which is supposed to work.
