I've been using this salicylic acid face wash called Speelac, as my doctor suggested, but after just two days of using it twice daily, my skin's feeling super dry and hurts a lot. It's like I can feel my skin burning when I put on any ointments. Is this something normal or should I be worried? I've also been using Acnemoist and Derivative CMS gel. Would appreciate any insights on this!

You may be experiencing an adverse reaction to the salicylic acid face wash. The dryness, pain, and burning sensation you are feeling are not normal and may indicate that the product is too harsh for your skin. I recommend stopping the use of the Speelac face wash and consult your doctor or dermatologist for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can use a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil or Aveeno to help soothe your skin.

View allI'm a 20-year-old guy and I've been dealing with hair thinning for about 10 months now. My hair used to be super thick, dense, and even wavy at 11 inches long. It started thinning at the whorl and spread in a whirpool direction across the top, front, and the sides. In the last 3 months, I've noticed noticeable thinning at my crown and the back of my head too. I did get a buzz cut 5 months ago, and my temples have receded just a bit, maybe a centimeter. My scalp was super dry and tight a while ago but that seems to be back to normal now. I've always had dandruff, those small white flakes, mostly during the winters. Looking at my family history, both grandfathers had no hair loss until the end. My dads at a Norwood 2, two uncles are bald, probably due to diabetes, and one has a full head of hair. On my moms side, two uncles are bald and two have no hair loss. I'm concerned because I've lost a lot of hair density in these 10 months, it's probably half what I had before. Any advice on whats happening or what I should do? I've got some photos attached if that helps.
this looks like androgenic alopecia which is male pattern baldness,there are good treatment modalities which would help in preventing further hairfall and regrowth of your hair,visit your dermatologist for appropriate management,above this consume balanced diet with extra protien which would help in giving strength to your hair.

I've been eating a lot of Chinese food lately, and it's pretty much become my go-to meal almost every day. But recently, I've started noticing this weird burning sensation on my skin in different parts of my body. There's no redness or itching, though. I'm a 25-year-old woman and I'm a bit worried. What could be causing this burning feeling?

I've been using Melaglow cream for a year, applying it every night and washing it off in the morning. My skin was glowing while I was using it, but now that I've stopped, my skin is completely pigmented. It used to be fair before I started using the cream, but now it's turned dark. Is there a way to get my natural skin fairness back? Would really appreciate some guidance on this.
It's possible to restore your skin tone, but it will take time and patience. Pigmentation changes can occur due to various reasons, like stopping a product or other factors. Focus on a gentle skincare routine with sunscreen, vitamin C serums, and exfoliation. If needed, consult a dermatologist for personalized treatment options like chemical peels or topical treatments. Stay consistent, and your skin can gradually improve.
