I've been using Melacare cream for my acne scars for the past 7 months, and it's really helped lighten them and even my complexion by about 2 tones. But I'm worried because whenever I try to stop using it, my skin gets super irritated, I get lots of tiny white bumpy acne around my mouth, and my skin turns darker than it used to be. I'm 22 and also dealing with PCOS and a vitamin D deficiency. What can I do to solve this problem once and for all?

I'm dealing with a lot of hair fall and also have an anal fistula. My hair keeps falling no matter what I try, and the doctor said I need surgery for the fistula soon. What should I do about both issues?

To address both hair fall and an anal fistula, it's important to focus on reducing stress, managing the fistula with medical intervention, and addressing potential underlying causes of hair loss. For the fistula, the doctor's recommendation for surgery should be followed. For hair fall, explore potential causes like stress, fungal infections, or nutritional deficiencies, and consider seeking professional advice for appropriate treatment.
