I've been noticing that my complexion has become really dull and dark recently. I used to have a pretty fair complexion, but ever since I started my weight loss journey and lost about 8 kgs by going to the gym regularly, it's like my skin has been affected negatively. I look pale and dull and have lost that bright glow. Can you suggest anything for this? Oh, and I should mention my skin is oily, prone to acne, and also quite sensitive.

To help improve your skin tone and regain the glow, you can try using a topical cream containing Vitamin C and Niacinamide. These ingredients can help brighten the skin and even out the complexion. Additionally, using a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily can protect your skin from further damage and darkening. For your oily and acne-prone skin, you can use a gentle cleanser containing salicylic acid to help control oil production and prevent breakouts.

View allI'm considering getting hair fixing done, and I'm a bit concerned about how strong it really is. Like, if someone accidentally pulls or picks at it, is there a chance it could come loose? I'm feeling a bit anxious about it not being secure.

I'm really worried about my little nephewhe's just a year old and we've noticed a few small white spots on his hand. My brother has had vitiligo since he was a kid, but thankfully it's under control now. I'm concerned though; is it possible that vitiligo can be passed down from father to son? And if it is, how can we effectively treat it for the baby to keep it from becoming a big issue as he grows up?
In conclusion, while vitiligo can have a genetic link, its not certain that your nephew will develop it just because his father has it. Consulting a specialist will give you peace of mind and help ensure the right approach to treatment if needed.

I've noticed that when I have to stand for long periods, my feet start swelling, and I get these little red spots on my feet and calves. It seems to happen pretty quickly after I start feeling some itchiness down there. The spots start off small but then kind of join together to form larger patches. My skin doesnt peel, but my feet do get pretty swollen. It usually takes a couple of days for the spots to go away, and by the next day, the swelling decreases if I rest. I also get this when I fly for long hours. I had a Doppler test done, and they said there's no DVT. What could be causing this? And is there anything I should be doing to prevent it?
There could be varicose veins which might be minimal,visit Vascular surgeon for evaluation and appropriate management
