I've been noticing some white streaks on the sides of my face, right on the cheekbones. They're not really spots or patches, but they definitely look fairer compared to the rest of my skin. Any idea what might be causing this?

The white streaks on your cheekbones could be due to several reasons, including hypopigmentation, vitiligo, pityriasis alba, or idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis; so consult dermatologist

Head and shoulders anti hair fall shampoo is one of the best shampoo to reduce hair fall at this price. It really worked for me which no other shampoo did. It is best to be used in winter season because in winters we tend to have more hair fall because of dandruff in scalp

I'm really worried about why my skin stays dirty even after washing it well. It's like I have to almost scrape with something sharp just to get the dirt off. After a bath, it seems to get dirty super fast again. I've even tried washing my face around 45 times a day, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. It's strange because even just after washing, if I rub my hands on my face, I still end up with some dust. What could be going on here?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a buildup of dead skin cells and dirt on your skin. This could be due to a variety of factors such as excessive oil production, environmental factors, or improper skincare routine. I recommend using a gentle exfoliating cleanser to help remove the dead skin cells and dirt more effectively. You can try using a face wash containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, such as Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash, twice a day. Additionally, using a gentle scrub, such as St. Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub, 2-3 times a week can also help improve the texture of your skin. Make sure to moisturize your skin afterwards to prevent it from becoming too dry. If the issue persists, consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm a bit confused about the prescription my doctor gave me. They've suggested using Proanagen solution on my scalp at bedtime, mentioning something about '4 in night'. Does this mean I should apply it every night, and do I need to wash my hair in the morning? Any advice would be really helpful!
Proanagen solution is likely a hair growth promoter. _Application Instructions_ 1. Apply Proanagen solution to your scalp at bedtime. 2. Leave it on for 4 hours or overnight. 3. Wash your hair the next morning. _Daily Application_ Yes, apply Proanagen solution daily, as directed, for optimal results.
