I've been noticing these red lines on my inner thighs for about a year now. It all began with a small mark on my left thigh, but since it didnt hurt, I ignored it. Over time, its spread to both legs and keeps getting worse. They dont hurt, but they look pretty bad, which makes me really uncomfortable and worried. I have gained some weight, around 23 kgs. Can you help me figure out whats going on and how to fix it?

Stretch marks can occur when the skin is stretched rapidly due to factors such as weight gain. To help improve the appearance of the red lines on your inner thighs, you can try using a topical cream containing Tretinoin. Apply a thin layer of Tretinoin cream on the affected areas once daily at night. Additionally, you can also use a moisturizer containing Hyaluronic Acid to keep the skin hydrated. It is important to note that while these treatments may help improve the appearance of stretch marks, they may not completely eliminate them.

View allI've got this issue where the skin on my stomach and back is much darker than the rest of my body. My face and arms have a clearer and more even tone. I've tried all sorts of home remedies, but nothing seems to work. I even went for a chemical peel, but it only made a small difference for just a few days. I'm really puzzled and a bit worried. What could be causing this uneven skin tone and how can I effectively address it?

I'm 11 weeks and 4 days into my pregnancy and I'm wondering if it's okay to get threading done on my eyebrows and upper lip at this stage. Is it safe for me and the baby?
Threading during early pregnancy is generally considered safe. Since you're 11 weeks and 4 days pregnant, you can opt for threading as a hair removal method for your eyebrows and upper lip. However, it's essential to take some precautions to minimize potential risks. Make sure to find a skilled and experienced threading technician who follows proper sanitation and hygiene procedures. Some benefits of threading include its precision, gentleness on the skin, and ability to remove even the tiniest hairs. Additionally, threading doesn't involve the use of chemicals, making it a relatively safe option during pregnancy. Before undergoing threading, inform your technician about your pregnancy. Although threading is generally safe, it's crucial to be cautious and aware of any potential risks or complications.
