I've been swimming a lot recently, and I've noticed my skin has really darkened from the chlorine in the pool water. What can I do to get my fair skin tone back? Also, how can I prevent this darkening from happening in the future when I swim?

I'm a 23-year-old woman, and my dermatologist recommended Keraglo Men for me. I'm a bit concerned, is it safe for me to use it since it's labeled "Men"?

Keraglo Men is a supplement specifically formulated for men's hair and skin health, containing ingredients like biotin, keratin, and saw palmetto. While the ingredients are generally safe, there are some considerations for a 23-year-old female: Hormonal considerations: Saw palmetto, in particular, may affect hormone levels, which could be a concern for women, especially those with hormonal imbalances or taking birth control. Pregnancy and breastfeeding: If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, it's essential to exercise caution when taking any supplement, as some ingredients may pass into breast milk or affect fetal development.

My doctor recently suggested using Folica hair tincture to manage my hair loss and dandruff. However, I've heard this treatment is mainly for alopecia areata.
