I've been using Melacare for about 4 years now and I'm thinking of stopping. I'm a bit worried though, if I stop using it, will my skin be able to recover on its own or am I going to have to deal with hyperpigmentation forever?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Stopping Melacare may cause:
- Rebound hyperpigmentation (temporary)
- Skin recovery with proper skincare and sun protection
- Ongoing hyperpigmentation management
Post-Melacare skincare:
- Use broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+)
- Moisturize with a gentle moisturizer
- Exfoliate regularly
- Consider alternative treatments

I'm a 20-year-old guy and I've got barely any facial hair. I'm really curious about what kind of doctor I should talk to about this beard growth issue. I feel like everyone else my age has a bit more going on in the facial hair department, and it's kind of worrying me. Could it be something to do with hormones or maybe genetics? Any advice on who to consult would be awesome.
At your age, it is common to have minimal facial hair growth. You can consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and discussion of treatment options. In some cases, minoxidil solution can be prescribed to promote facial hair growth.

I've had a burn scar on my left chest since I was 3 when boiling water spilled on me. Now that I'm 18, it gets really irritated and tender by the end of the day when my clothes rub against it. Sometimes there's this dull, stabbing pain too. I've been using aloe vera gel, which helps cool it down, but once it dries, the irritation comes back. There's no inflammation or infection, though. Do you think I should see a doctor about this?
Yes that needs evaluation,visit Dermatologist for appropriate management
