I've been struggling with dark spots and my lips are pretty dark too. Do you think melalite cream would be a good choice to help with both? I'm really hoping for something that works.

I've been dealing with a red rash around my waist, and it's been itching pretty badly. It's been going on for at least two months now and seems to disappear from one spot only to show up somewhere else nearby. I'm starting to worry about what might be happening. Any thoughts on what this could be or what steps I should take next?

for providing more details about the red, itchy rash around your waist. To help identify the cause and develop a treatment plan, I recommend the following: Visual Assessment: If possible, please upload a photo of the rash. This will help in making a more accurate assessment. Additional Information Needed: Have you noticed any patterns or triggers, like exposure to new clothes, soaps, or environments, that coincide with the appearance or worsening of the rash? Do you have any personal or family history of allergies or skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis? Based on the information you've already provided, here are some possible considerations and general recommendations: Possible Causes: Eczema or Contact Dermatitis: Often results in itchy, red rashes and can be triggered by irritants or allergens. Fungal Infections: These can appear as red, itchy, and scaly patches, particularly in areas like the waist where moisture might be trapped. Hives (Urticaria): Can cause red, itchy, raised welts that move around the body. Suggested Treatment: Topical Treatments: Over-the-counter hydrocortisone creams can help reduce inflammation and itchiness. Antihistamines: Oral antihistamines like cetirizine or loratadine can help relieve itching. Avoid Irritants: Use mild, fragrance-free detergents and skincare products. For persistent or spreading rashes, it might be valuable to consider further diagnostics. These could include skin swabs, allergy tests, or patch tests if an allergic reaction is suspected. Please feel free to upload a photo or share any more details, and I'll be glad to provide further guidance.

I'm dealing with some hair fall issues and started using Indulekha hair oil. I've heard that adding vitamin E capsules to hair oil might help, and I'm considering trying it. Can I mix vitamin E capsules directly into the Indulekha bottle and store it like that? If it's okay to do, how many capsules would you recommend for the whole bottle?

-Yes, you can mix Vitamin E capsules into Indulekha hair oil. For a standard 100ml bottle, 2-3 capsules should be enough. Use it regularly for better hair health, but remember to monitor for any irritation.
