I've been using Skinlite cream for a while now, and I noticed it made my skin really fair. But when I stopped, my skin got darker, which was really frustrating. I tried using it again, hoping to get the same result, but this time it just didn't work. I'm really worried because I want to lighten my skin tone, and it's bothering my husband. What should I do?

Continued and prolonged use of skinlite cream can lead to skin darkening when discontinued, a condition known as rebound hyperpigmentation. To address this issue and lighten your complexion, you can try using a combination of Kojic acid cream in the morning and Hydroquinone cream at night. Apply Kojic acid cream in the morning and Hydroquinone cream at night for 4-6 weeks. Make sure to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from further darkening. If you experience any irritation or side effects, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.

I'm using Seba med anti hair loss shampoo because a dermatologist recommended it, and while it seems to cut down on the hair fall during washing, I've noticed my hair gets really dry after and I end up losing more hair once it dries out. Is there something I should be doing differently, or any advice on how to handle this issue?

Seba med anti hair loss shampoo may be too drying for your hair. I recommend switching to a moisturizing shampoo like Pantene Pro-V Moisture Renewal Shampoo. Additionally, you can use a conditioner like Dove Nutritive Solutions Daily Moisture Conditioner to help hydrate your hair and reduce hair fall. Make sure to use lukewarm water for washing and avoid hot water, as it can further dry out your hair.

I've been feeling really itchy under my breasts and in my groin area, especially since winter started here in Pune. It's getting pretty uncomfortable. The skin has turned this odd dark brown color, and it's kind of awful now that its even up to my cleavage. I'm wondering if there's some home remedy I could try to sort this out, or should I be talking to a specialist about this?

This could be a fungal infection, such as Tinea corporis (ringworm), which commonly affects these areas due to warm and moist conditions. You can try using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream twice daily on the affected areas for 2-4 weeks. Keep the areas clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting cotton clothes to allow the skin to breathe. Avoid scratching to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen despite home remedies, it would be advisable to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
