I've been dealing with these dark patches on my inner thighs for months now and they just won't go away. It's really bugging me because, along with that, I've constantly got this urge to eat and I'm feeling super tired all the time. What could be going on?

The dark patches on your inner thighs could be a sign of a condition called acanthosis nigricans, which is often associated with insulin resistance. To address this, I recommend using a topical cream containing hydroquinone and tretinoin, such as Tri-Luma cream, to lighten the dark patches. Additionally, managing your insulin levels through lifestyle changes and medications like metformin can help improve the condition. For the increased appetite and tiredness, it is important to address the underlying cause, which may involve further evaluation and treatment.

View allI'm curious if applying oil to my hair is really necessary. Does it help with hair regrowth or offer any benefits? Could you explain a bit more about this?
Applying oil to the scalp can help improve the health of the hair and scalp. It can help moisturize the scalp, reduce dandruff, and improve the overall condition of the hair. However, there is limited scientific evidence to support the claim that applying oil alone can regrow hair. For hair regrowth, it is recommended to use medications like Minoxidil solution 5% applied twice daily on the scalp. This medication has been shown to promote hair regrowth in some individuals.

I'm curious about this change in my treatment plan. My new doctor switched me from minoxidil to proanagen solution and kera XL serum. She mentioned it's to avoid dependency on minoxidil. Does this sound like the right approach to you?
This can be a reasonable approach to prevent dependency on minoxidil. Proanagen solution contains minoxidil along with other ingredients to promote hair growth, while Kera XL serum is likely a hair care product to support overall hair health. It is important to follow your doctor's advice and use these medications as prescribed. If you have any concerns or experience any side effects, please consult your doctor for further guidance.

I'm struggling with dark circles under my eyes and it's been really frustrating. I already saw a dermatologist and they prescribed Lumiedge under eye gel, but I'm not seeing any results at all. Could you recommend something more effective for these under eye dark circles? I'm really looking for a solution that actually works.
If Lumiedge under eye gel did not show any improvement, you can try using a different product containing hydroquinone, kojic acid, and vitamin C. You can use Melalite cream at night and apply a thin layer of Kojivit Plus gel in the morning. Remember to use sunscreen during the day.
