I've been taking itraconazole and I'm starting to notice more hair fall than usual. Could this be a side effect? If it is, what can I do to manage it while still sticking to my itraconazole treatment plan?

I've noticed this dark patch appearing on my temple, right between my forehead and nose. The skin texture feels normal, not rough or anything, but it looks like it's just more tanned than the rest of my face. I'm pretty sure it's not actually a tan. What can I do to make it go away?

This black patch could be a condition called melasma, which is a common skin problem causing dark, discolored patches on the skin. To help fade the black patch, you can use a cream containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, and a corticosteroid. An example of such a cream is Tri-Luma, which should be applied once daily in the evening. Additionally, using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily can help prevent further darkening of the skin. Remember to consult with a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

My skin just keeps getting darker lately and I'm really starting to worry. I've been trying a bunch of things like blood purifying medicines, loads of cosmetics, drinking a ton of water, and staying out of the sun and heat, but nothing seems to work. It's getting pretty frustrating because I just want my natural complexion back. Could you suggest something that actually helps?
